I’m level 36 but I have friends who played RDO since it launched and are only around level 10. Who you call massive losers are most likely people with actual lives. I got a life and a job. I'm rank 32. And am still convinced that you must be a massive loser to PTW Callahan44 and slippery slope 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutter De Blanc Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 If youre paying 20 dollars for a horse in a 60 dollar game you're spending money like a loser, at least Chrismads, slippery slope, josephene123 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudoinit6 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I am not against paying for a product I enjoy but they need to actually finish the game if they are going to get any money from me. As it stands it is a cool concept but every night I get excited to play then after about 20 minutes I am bored and go back to Overwatch.

If so, what are they? a plain duster coat for example, 1 gold bar. or rifleman gloves, 2 gold bars you get the drift everything cool is seemingly gold-only Callahan44, josephene123 and screemingEagle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tampinha85 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 To be honest i bought the one time deal, which is really cheap in my country, to save in hope of the next update they bring in new guns (new revolvers at least) and im sure it will have some kind of paywall to get them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callahan44 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Prices dont matter to me,especially not at the moment. Theres nothing interesting to buy,its all stuff i get for free in the singleplayer. Imo its simply insane you have to grind 10-15 missions for one gold as well. Instead of a real money store a bit more ingame content would have been nice,now we probably get nothing till next year...time for a break,sadly.

screemingEagle Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) well, the 25 bars for $5 isn't bad. Too bad its only a one time deal. that's only .20 cents per gold bar. someone calculated a while ago that it takes 8 hours of playing to get one gold bar. Not sure if that is still valid. can't remember if that was story mode or online. So to get 25 gold bars you would have to play 200 hours!

fejkb Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I can see myself buying that one time deal, but only if I reach 60lvl before earning 25 gold since now. Otherwise at this moment I wouldn’t spend it on some crucial thing. I could customize my guns, but I can do that in parts and for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuba 21 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Pardon me if I already missed but did they do another free gold giveaway again? Had 2 and change when logging off last night but just hopped on and over 17 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every horse breed can be bought with in-game cash, the gold only Black Arabian does have better health and stamina cores than the cash only White (this should be fixed) but the Fox Trotter and Turkoman's are objectively better in both race and combat scenarios and they can both be bought with in-game cash. There's a whiff of pay to win in regards to buying guns (tho it'd be a huge waste of gold bars as they aint that expensive) and the Black Arabian but beyond that the game has zero pay to win. The biggest game changers are ability cards and they are cash only. RayD70 and djb204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem for me is that some kid who cant even earn $1000 still has a possibility to get top tier stuff. For me that is pay to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtmike Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Just remember, even though the prices look decent, that the latest GTA DLC costs about 3k real money worth of shark cards to buy everything. Pocket Fox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLKnives Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I haven't looked at weapons yet but horses are all level locked to me at level 18. Doesn't matter how much gold I have.

Yes but all the Turkomans health/stam stats are identical, out of the top tier horses only the Black Arabian has better stats than the other coats in its breed. Horses are also split between cash only and gold only, you can't buy the other Dark Bay or Silver Turkomans with gold for example. Horses are also level locked, you can't buy them early. Like I said, there's a whiff of pay to win but it's not a balance issue. GTAO is pay to win, but RDO isn't. djb204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they care about the first 24 hours, they wanted this live in time for Christmas. RedDagger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay to win I don't entirely disagree with you but in the grand scheme of balancing it isn't really an issue right now. I mean, the best weapon in the game for PvP costs like 70 dollars. Buying ability cards with gold bars would be the pay to win thing but you can't do that so, it's not really pay to win.
