Its the only way to do it! I swear R* has programmed your cart to bounce around, might as well abuse their own system.

I played a match of Up in Smoke and focused on the defensive, you could say camping, which I guess sucks, but hey nobody else was defending and it was an opportunity to test my Hunker Down ability card. Anyway, people were getting killed left and right and my team still haven't delivered a blow to the enemy, so out of boredom, I decided to go into the offensive and somehow, I managed to reach the enemy base and deliver a blow before the match ended by a couple of seconds. Went from probably the last place to the first place :kek:

The last few days have been a weird one. On Sunday I encountered a bear, a cougar, alligators and two packs of wolves. I’m on PS4 and there are always over 20 people I’m every lobby so animal spawns are a real rarity, but they just kept on coming. It was the same yesterday and today, and I’ve also been ambushed a few times as well. I can’t remember the last time that happened.

 

As far as I’m aware there haven’t been any updates and the lobbies are always nearly full. Are R* tweaking things on the back end? Have I just been very lucky the last few days? Anybody else noticed things like this?

You know, I don't mean to sound negative but the reason the GTAO servers are sh*t is because a single person can f*ck up/grief the entire Lobby and when you throw a single sh*t at the ground every gets covered. Before we got weaponised vehicles in our garages the GTAO servers were far better. I just fear that eventually RDO will go the same way and the only thing stopping it is the fact that is very difficult to be a dick on a large scale.

Imagine if we got a Hot Air Balloon with bundles of volatile dynamite we could drop. Hovering over Valentine really high up, higher than you can aim straight up, and bombarding the town.

You jest but we never thought we would see the OpMkI/MkII or the Deluxo and with the history of the Four Horses of the Apocalypse I could see it happening. If you told me a year after GTAO launched that we would have flying bikes and orbital death cannons I would have laughed so if you told me that in four years RDO would have flying unicorns I wouldn't be suprised.

It's been that way on the Xbox for a few weeks, at least on my end. I don't know what they did but something seemed to edge us a step forward in the animal spawn situation.

Nah, R* is thinking big this time around. We will get Stridor the big bionic horse of power!

Yep that's my childhood, we had a good character named Fisto!

There is only one FISTO.

Get some speed, pull out a gun, open the player menu, and just hold L2 the entire way. The aiming button.

Just pull a weapon and hold aim with Rt Mouse, drive using the speed controls, but beware of the horses spazzing out if a rider/body or wagon is on the road.

It's the only way to get a shine wagon there without lots of breakage.

Lol, my male character got really close to that Fisto.  Dragic was pretty cool, on the crazy side but he was a neat personality though I agree he was kind of too much tech for the story.

Pretty sure that if we ever get ridiculous stuff in the game that has no place being in 1899 it will be from him.

They gave me the option and, well I'm an adventurous gamer. Plus I didn't want to take a broken machine back to the casino, the Garret twins were counting on me, and I always make sure to do my job well?

I didn't mind him at first, but that last mission on the mountain seemed so out of place. Strange things get my attention, the ghosts and odd characters in the Red Dead universe always appealed to me but the reason I love the game is because it is from a simpler time. Technology wasn't so widespread and relied upon in that time and I love it. GTA is just so busy because of all of the cars and rocket weapons, and most of all the flying contraptions that you are constantly hiding from. They start bringing in robots or high powered technological anything into RDO to try and compete with GTA I will finally tap out and move on.

It might just be me but the idea of stealing Delivery Wagons from someone who does not deserve it makes me feel shame. I cannot imagine how spiteful and petty someone would need to be to destroy/steal something that someone who has done them no wrongs has worked for.

 

I don't care what the game says, if the game said go outside in real life and lay down on the railway tracks you wouldn't do it because you are not a lemming so don't dare use that excuse.

I feel somewhat the same, I used to do only long distance deliveries until a few weeks ago because I was not attacked that often, perhaps 1 out of 10, not more. However lately it was about half the time so I almost stopped doing them now. Full wagon of goods is local for me now, and if I do a long distance it is due to the 15k+ delivery distance on a daily but then I try to time it so I only do a 25 gods delivery. Less incentive to get attacked and the wagon is faster.

I am not saying that getting attacked is common but just that I cannot understand the mentality behind the people that do attack others for no reason apart from "the game told me to/because I can"

GTA RDR Online 1st rule - if your icon appears on the map you can or will be attacked.

 

(It looks like a uncommon thing for me, since i'm seeing each day more red dot griefer/tryhard players/posses scattered around in sessions).

 

Selling long distance is a trouble nowadays in Xbox, so i'm still relying on shorter sells.

 

I don't know if stealing another player's product and bringing back to my camp is something profitable (if is a 1/1 product rate or below, idk never searched) ... but this ... i can understand (it is something low, but at least looks to have a proper risk/reward unlike GTA will ever be), but can't understand those fellas who attacks and destroys other player's product in a game which have a poorer money system which mainly relies in specializations/role for a profit. (there are the fellas which farm easy kills and the fellas which use the classic "the game told me to").

Well.  Seeming evidence (or at least the suggestion) that the incessant hacking is at the root of the disappearing camp issue.  I've gone 2 days without blatant hacking going on.  Tonight, not even 10 seconds after the day/night cycle was hijacked, going suddenly from 8pm to 3pm, my camp disappeared and couldn't be placed.

[Dark Spark]

Just played a Condor Egg Event where I was the second player to reach the Condor Egg.

 

The kicker is that the first player stopped by the egg but didn't claim it. So I didn't take it either. More and more players made their way to our position and made as much noise as we could until someone who presumably needed cash more than any of us finally nabbed the prize.

I have never done a Long Distance sale. Even with a full Posse because its impossible to stop someone destroying your cargo with explosive rounds from long distance with a sniper rifle. They will be in the wind before your Posse can locate and hunt them down and what does that achieve? Nothing.

I think you get a quarter (or half) of what the total amount was worth so if its a full hundred sale you get twenty-five (or fifty materials added)

50 products of a full sale still a good risk/reward ratio, between 49-30 is average and .... 30-25 products or below is hella bad, but still a proper system which actually still rewards, (something GTA actually could use).

 

Now ... (I know it sounds like Bn'M, but still)

 

Finally played the elimination series and got that LTS/battle royale Gun Rush mode (was doing to get the last objective of daily challenges and get my 2 gold bars), and being honest ... the mode isn't bad (good and simple LTS concept), but there's a critical problem which is shared with many other RDR Online competitive modes and free roam events ... how the hell a can a posse join in a Gun Rush solo version of the event?, even if actually they aren't treated as a posse in the event, a group can use a party chat, discord and etc ... today ... this happened with me:

 

Quick Gun Rush, 10 players, i got to the close to the end, 3 kills, only 4 survivors. found out that was basically 1 vs 3 (thanks to the name of the posse), 2 fellas with Bolt-action rifles doing suppressive shots in that Mansion/Manor, i was basically stuck behind a tree and a armored fella which rushed to me with a shotgun + slippery bastard, even shooting from the cover, it was basically no chance of surviving. The guy with the armor killed the other fellas and won. (all fellas of that posse were offline of course). and ...  the classic fact they were using tonics (which still breaks the whole PVP and even PVE modes/events, thanks to some ability card and builds).

 

Also ...

 

More than 1 year of RDR Online and only now i found a Moose, it was in Tall Trees, sadly it was 1 star.

Apparently you don't get products for stealing, you get materials.

Not such a great deal, IMO, not that I'd ever do it regardless.

 

On the plus side, I did get the chance to revive another player's horse the other day!

He had some trouble with some NPCs I guess, I didn't see it as I was in a house collecting some stuff.

When I came out, he was downed and his horse was critically injured.

I raced over, but he gave up before I got there, but I did get to save his horse.

 

He came over and waved thank you, I waved back.

It feels good to help out, maybe it wasn't really necessary, but then again it's possible he didn't have any revivers.

I always carry a bunch, and since they were free recently I've got loads in my lockbox.
