Congrats! 

 

I'm ALMOST at 35 and I can't bring myself to grind anymore. 

 

I feel you lol

 

Ever since I hit 40, it felt like I'd literally been slaving away to get to 50.

Question:

Do you still feel motivated to play now that you've got the trophy? 

 

They still have some pretty nice clothing once you get past 50.

yep, the base game is still beautiful enough to get totally lost in so doing stranger missions/gang hideouts or collecting awards keeps me plenty occupied. the daily challenges too.

 

obv i don't really have motivation to rank up anymore since i pretty much have everything i want atm in terms of clothes, horses, weapons and so on etc.

So, I actually had a blue dot just now try to interrupt my stranger mission. After I shot him, he disappeared. Thought he got the idea. Nah, as I'm waiting in the safety zone to maximize profit he comes riding up to check things out. For whatever reason, he jumped off his horse and just sort of stood there...next thing I know he throws a haymaker at his horse and it dropkicks him. Bahahahaha. I sent the message "lol watcha doin?" No response, he just rode away... Funniest damn thing I've seen in awhile.

I was thinking, the trains really should follow a schedule, so you can get one easier. Then I got to thinking, well, maybe they do? Surely if there's a certain point they start, and they go at a consistent speed - it must be possible to check the times it arrives at each station?

 

 Could be useful for daily objectives involving trains. Shame people always kill the driver before you've even found it though.

If you figure the train spawns out, please tell us. That thing is so elusive that most people forgot it exists. 

[ALifeOfMisery]

Completely by accident.

I'll take the XP though.

Loot. Every. Body. You. Kill.

It's likely that the reason there's no timetable is because it only spawns when players are nearby.

 

That said I did find an abandoned train in Emerald Station a few weeks ago - it was probably hijacked and dumped moments before, but as I can't see blips anymore who can tell.

 

I'd like to be able to wait for a passenger train with seating and have it arrive at certain times - it'd be nice to buy a ticket from Rhodes to Annesburg for example, sitting among other NPC folk watching the world roll by and getting the ol' six shooter out in an emergency if the train was held up by bandits or other players.

I've noticed when Cripps set up my camp outside of Valentine, the train continuously spawned. 

 

There was nothing lootable but it kept spawning.

I usually kill a couple enemies, then loot them straight away while I let my character tank a few bullets. Leave at least one enemy alive while you loot the rest of the bodies and with some luck they won’t despawn. It’ll also surprise you how sh*tty the NPC’s aim is when there’s just one of them.

 

I can loot people only a few feet away from him, and he screams at me from behind a barrel, popping out of cover to miss a few shots while I calmly walk over to loot the next dead body. Lol.

 

Just keep an eye on your health meter and you’ll be OK.

This sums up pretty much what I think of gun rush.

 

 

Get in, get the daily objective, get straight back out.

[Happy Hunter]

I think they should let us put stuff in the box at our camp; instead of only being able to take stuff. Kind of like the item boxes in the old resident evil games.

 

Would de-clutter people's weapon wheels, as well as allow us to stockpile ammo/tonics/herbs that we've crafted, bought, or found.

 

Edit: Ah, why not? More or less just copy and pasted it. Maybe it might be a thing.

I’m happy that my OCD doesn’t extend to the Daily Challenges. If I can complete them while enjoying my time doing so, I’ll give it a go. If thinking about finishing any of them brings on a headache - f*ck it.

Spawn point is always in the Heartlands of New Hanover. 

 

Tested this theory 5 times now and it's worked so far. 

[Happy Hunter]

If someone's trolling you - for your own sake, you really should turn your mic off. This Scottish sounding man - the moment I got into a horse racing session, I could hear he was ranting on about everyone there. "Oh you're cheating!" You're lag switching. You shot me. Etc. Etc. Etc.

 

I couldn't help but just keep shooting him and running into him. Didn't even try to win. Was honestly more fun just listening to him get angrier and angrier.

 

Lots of people were trying to kick him too. He ended up one vote away from it. I could've, but just wanted to sabotage things and hear his reactions.

 

So yeah, don't have the mic on in that situation. Just feeds trolls. I couldn't help myself.

[Happy Hunter]

I think there might be some kind of new races on PS4. Don't get them on Xbox yet lol - dripfeeding the dripfeed until later as part of some timed exclusive special BS thing. Not big into races anyway, but to withhold so much seems kind of dumb when the game's not exactly got masses of people on the edge of their seats.

I'm not a fan of the timed exclusive stuff, even though I'm on the right side of it on PS4. At least it isn't really good content, if that's any consolation.

 

I think the Jawbone Knife was timed exclusive, looks cool, but every time you skin an animal your selection gets reverted to the standard hunting knife anyway. And as for the open target races, they look like absolute a$$ anyway. 

 

The timed exclusive concept is sh*t, but at least in RDO you guys on Xbox aren't really missing out.

Yep, 'Open' Target Races. Honestly nothing special.

This 3 clothing items per week (4 this week for female characters) plus an adversary mode, isn't great. Still 2 more dripfeed Tuesdays to go as well.

 

Both variations of target race are utterly sh*t. I'll never play them.

[Rafae S]

What's even worse is that after this shallow drip feed ends, it's another month and a half wait or so for the next update, the first real update to this game imo.

 

I wonder what kind of weekly bonuses and discounts they'll offer during the wait.

[ALifeOfMisery]

Whatever they offer, I doubt it'll be anything significant. 

 

The 20%-30% XP buffs are hardly generous and they could double the adversary mode payout for cash and gold, I ignored them in GTAO and I'll ignore them here too.

 

It's going to feel like a long wait until we're the other side of the next GTAO DLC.

[Rafae S]

After a less than satisfactory update to Red Dead Online, what could be the most logical follow besides another subpar GTAO update? /s

 

Everything related to this company during the spring time is nothing worse investing time into. It isn't until the summer and beyond when things really start cooking.

[KittySteph]

So disappointed by this game. It looks so cool n I really want to get into it but there’s just nothing to do!

[Rafae S]

Gotta love it when f*ckin scrubs rage quit because they failed to ruin your stranger mission

Sry it's too dark but that in the middle is a schedule from Saint Denis.

I seriously doubt it is valid though
