Ya, I saw a notification of someone killing someone else, kinda like in GTAO...first time I've saw something like that.

I've seen this before, I think it happens when two posse's are going at it (posse feud?) and their kill feed is broadcast to everybody else in the lobby.

[ALifeOfMisery]

^ I've noticed this intermittently too. I thought that maybe there is a kill feed but it isn't currently working properly, but @Stoakzeemight be on to something.

^^ I've noticed this as well; might be Rockstar tweaking tunables yet again..?

GTAO getting new stuff every week...

RDO - nothing

Could well be. Personally I'd rather not have a kill feed at all. Don't give griefer types the spank bank material of constantly seeing their username up on screen after every kill.

I think there needs to be a basic addition of features before any big content pack is added.

 

Introducing, the "How could these features not be in at launch?" pack.

 

Includes basic features:

-Free aim lobbies

-All the session options from gta

-Drink water to fill your cores, adds a canteen for storing water (drink from a still source of water and you might get sick, try to drink from rivers and streams instead)

-Spawn in your camp

-Rent a room at hotels (for immersion, maybe use it as a spawn point and if need be use loading screens so everyone is not in the same room)

-Take a bath so that you don't need to splash water on your face or swim in the nearby pond. Maybe this will make it take longer before you start to appear dirty again

-Satchels! No more coffee mug or steak coming out of thin air

-Opacity sliders for make-up

-Rob townsfolk and travelers

-Rob stores like in SP

Not any time soon but adding dogs to online would be sweet . Hunting dogs, guard dogs, attack dogs .

Ability to order a NORMAL food in saloons and Saint Denis restaurant, instead of eggs and nuts. Sh*t, this is ridicoulous.

Actually, guard/attack dogs are already in the game.

 

Just last night, after getting a wanted level somewhere between Caliga Hall and Rhodes, I had a bunch of lawmen after me, including one of their dogs (shows up as a red dot, like wolves or bears, etc.).

 

Said dog was quickly dispatched with my shotgun but yes, they do exist, and I suspect will be more prevalent in the near future.

 

It was the first time I've seen them used in RDO (they were in Single Player); last game I encountered guard/attack dogs in was Call of Duty: Black Ops. lol

I was in the middle of a gang hideout in rhodes when I was attacked by a dog. I have a soft spot for dogs/cats in this game so instead of shooting it I just kicked it to death. Personally, I was hoping it would have ran away after the first kick

This made me laugh a lot more than it should have.

As long as Attacking dogs attack predators not players other wise they would become another griefing tool but yes we do need hunting dogs

Knowing R* they'll allow dogs to attack other players and lower your honour for killing them.

[fryday]

i hoped for news or even an update, i get a discussion about dogs instead

[Pressure Drop]

They posted a newswire exactly 2 weeks ago on this day. Surely there will be something today... this silence is deafening.

It was fine to be the faceless company who does things differently when making single player games. Now they have stepped into Online properly, and with that comes the responsibility to communicate and listen to the people who are actually playing your game. Christmas and New Year is well over, it's time to step up, Rockstar

I'm just hoping all that stuff they mentioned would drop in one large update. This game is in dire need of some content.

Yeah this is really lame if they're not doing anything today. Only thing worse is if they do release something later, but it's just some sh*tty mode and they expect to slowly draw things out. No one has the patience for that anymore.

You're setting yourself up for disappointment by hoping for the fixes-of-all-fixes- best to let Rockstar do its own thing and focus on something else while they actually finish RDO.

[Dr.Rosenthal]

So, nothing today, eh?

 

I’ve played considerably less this last week. I’ll log on to chill out with friends but playing RDO right now is kinda far from exciting.

R* should know this. It's not as though RDO has set the world alight since it launched. If R*, when informing players of the upcoming content two weeks ago, thought that players will wait patiently while they drip things out over three, four, five, or however many months, I fear they are sadly mistaken.

 

I don't think players are going to put up with radio silence and content droughts like they have with GTAO.

On one hand I'd also love for it all to come at once. RDO is in dire need of new content.

 

On the other hand, do I trust R* to make four additions to the game in one drop and not f*ck something up? No, not really.

 Same here think I logged on once last week and lasted 15 minutes. Not quite sure R* fully grasp the concept of what a beta is used for. 

[YNNEL]

They’ve just tweeted. It’s about winning an Arthur Morgan replica jacket. For god sake...

[Stretch188]

Yeah...this is getting kinda frustrating.

My bad it was 20 hours ago but still.

Exactly what I’m afraid of as well. I mean, I’d want them to release something big with a lot of fixes, but at the same time, the more time that passes with no patches, the more scared I get that what they ultimately release will just break the game further.

Guess we’ll see.

Isn't it a sad state of affairs that some of the most ardent fans of R*s games, players like us here, who spend their time talking about the games day in, day out, have so little faith in R* to be able to properly implement an update? 

 

We will see, and no one would be happier than me to cut myself a nice, big slice of humble pie. But, we know what's coming don't we? We know that when an update does finally happen either some of the new content will be broken or poorly implemented, that the new update will break something that was previously working, that some things that are currently broken won't get fixed, or, more likely, a combination of those three.

Just give me SP Story DLC and you can flush RDO for all I care at this point.

Hmm; doubt it works with attack dogs IRL (probably not--fails with tracking dogs according to Mythbusters), but I wonder if dropping predator bait (some kind of meat?) could serve as a brief distraction to the dogs?

 

Might be another use for it other than trying to lure Cougars out into the open.

I might go and do one of the gang hideouts where dogs attack and see if a predator bait works. 

[DentureDynamite]

^^ Please do! Though I suspect a lot of content like this (also the Lock Breaker/Picker) just hasn't been fully implemented yet.
