I know this is not a GTA thread but i need to ask how much further can R* go with GTA Online? I obviously know that they're releasing it again on next gen but i just don't know what else they can do with it? Yh maybe a couple of new heists and a new location but in terms of content i think that's it. R* can do so much with RD Online but i think they're just neglecting it a little bit. I personally think it will be dead in the water in 2 years time (maybe even a year!)

2023 will gto dead then will gta online 2 come i hope so

Everyone says GTAO is dying and yet R* keeps doing creative things with it. Honestly GTAO will live for as long as they want it to live. Once they start running out of ideas (not anytime soon) they can just do a reset/revamp (similar to fortnite chapter 2). The only thing that will kill GTAO is that it is an old game and it wasn't built to last this long. I promise you the next one will be built to last at least 10 years from a tech standpoint.

After reading everyone's  thoughts on the update, I dont plan on logging on until the halloween content ... i gotta start lowering my expectations for rdr

I recommend you to register, you might like it. And secondly, in the next few weeks, the drep feed content will come with a lot of new content that is not relesed like (new legendary animal missions, new free roam missions and so on and so on)  play 3 days if you like it then stay, if you don't like it then go and report every Tuesday to examine the new things

Good night

Yh i can see that happening. When do u think R* will end their support for RD Online? I predict a couple of years.

Unlike past updates I am gonna take this one slow and actually enjoy it. I think what they have done is cool but it is not something I can sit and play for long, which is good i guess, meaning it will last me longer and I will enjoy it at a slower pace. It is not a bad update at all in my opinion, it just isn't massive, I do love how many fixes they have done. When RDO works properly with all the animals and dynamic events it truly is an incredible one of a kind game that I love. I am actually very happy with the update and very excited for the future of this game.

As long as it keeps making them money they won't end it. Don't forget they haven't made their big RDO push just yet (mexico, zombies, and heists). If they do that and the game doesn't succeed they will start considering pulling the plug. I don't see the big push happening till 2022 though, after they get used to working on next gen hardware. so summer to december of 2022 will be crucial for RDO, that is when we will truly get massive updates. Right now IMO they are still building a foundation.

I say

1. collector (mainly for the payouts)

2. trader (when the animals spawned)

3. bounty hunter

 

moonshiner sucks

haven't played the new one yet

You can be sorry all you want, but when you are patching bugs, you are changing parts of the code that cause the bugs. When patched files are released, it's classed as an update to what was already there. You are confusing updating with adding new content, these are two different things.. New content is an addition to the content that is already there, you can't update parts of the game that weren't there to be updated.

At no point was this new content classed as "massive" by R*.

So what you said is not really common sense, it IS just an opinion.

 

 

they said massive update coming.

 

 

everyone was hoping and waiting for a massive array of new content.

 

you are the only one who got it right it seems

 

[AdamNortonUK]

The only issue with this update, is if want to hunt animals for Trader, you have to basically forget about the Naturalist Role.

 

Especially with these daily challenges.

Don't kill an animal for 12 game hours
Don't kill an animal for 24 game hours
Don't kill an animal for 18 game hours

It’s a shame sedating requires so many shots with the varmint rifle too, and it’s a shame you cannot sedate, then kill, then skin the same animal or use it for the Trader Role!

 

But even if that was possible, the sedation ammo is crap, requiring multiple shots on an animal, and for fast animals it’s a pain trying not to waste so much ammo!

Yeah, they said "massive update", not "massive array of new content".

People weren't just hoping, they were expecting, and that's the problem here. There's a difference between hoping for something, and expecting it. Hope for the best by all means, but to prematurely expect it is setting yourself up for disappointment, especially considering it was never explicitly stated by R*.

This update was a complete waste. Im guessing the next update will be the newspaper boy update. Pay $25 gold to own a corner and sell your newspapers. It takes one full day for newspaper supply to fill up and sell at 25 cent each. Very fun, i cAnt wait

Found a possible solution

• Go to Documents / Rockstar games / Red Dead Redemption 2 / Settings
• Remove all files that start with "sga_" (or place them somewhere else just in case) 

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately  I have already tried this and a bunch more. It only started today im hoping R* does a hotfix. 

 

I'm very curious about this Halloween update.

[Buddy Hightower]

After playing a few hours... this is by far my favorite update.

I could probably write a giant paragraph, but what it comes down to is this: It reminds me of my favorite chapter of story-mode - chapter 2.

 

Every play-through I have done (and even the ones I just decided to start over) I always spend the most time in chapter 2.

One thing that always bugged me in online mode was that you didn't need to study animals to identify their tracks. I spent tons of time in chapter 2 doing nothing but looking for tracks that read "unknown animal" and then following them until I found the animal to study it. 

 

Another reason I love this update is because it also reminds me of the Bio-Engineer profession from Star Wars Galaxies, an old MMORPG I played back in 2003 - 2008.

In that game you took DNA samples of wildlife and then you could mix and match the DNA samples to create your own creature pets.

 

The third reason is because of the massive amount of bug fixes that we just got.

I have animals everywhere, random events non-stop, hideouts, moonshiner rival missions, etc...

Feels a lot more like story-mode now, and I swear there was a graphics tweak on xbox 1 X too.

 

A lot of people on this forum are disappointed and say "We want more outlaw content" however these are the same players that say that they hate PvP and want invite only sessions.

Which has always been confusing to me because an "outlaw update" would surly be focused on PvP activities.

 

To each their own but I'll be playing this update tons over the next couple of months....

I agree that they definitely upped the graphics in the game, and I play on Xbox too. My character looks fleshier, not so blocky. And the grains in his leather jacket are more pronounced, which is pretty cool.

Not necessarily, because that's what npcs are for.

Set the files to read only should solve the issues. I’ve done this since the error start 11 months ago and seen setting them as read only so that they cannot be written to by the game, I’ve had no GFX error messages.

Robbing trains, stagecoaches, stealing horses, robbing stores, and heists don't seem like PvP elements to me at all. Heists in GTA have thrived without PvP. RDR2's story too, full of bandit stuff.

 

Personally I'm in no rush for outlaw stuff as it's not my preference here (I want invite so I can enjoy this role without having to keep looking over my shoulder for other players, lol). But for those that do, they can be very invite lobby friendly for role-playing among friends.

Let me also try that! Do you know how I can do it?

 

Thanks!

For anyone still wondering how the role works exactly this video does an amazing job. Also at the end look how crazy it is when you give crips a legendary animal. Once the Jeanropke map works for legendary animals the trader role will become extremely easy.

 

I know I posted this on the Naturalist thread, I just wanted as many people to see it in case anyone still needs help with the role (I am not sure if it is against forum rules, if it is I apologize, honest mistake).

People were expecting new content because they said New UPDATE

 

if they say “a new PATCH“ is coming then people will expect new fixes and etc

 

anyways...

The Professional always has great guides. That's also good to know that we can turn in Legendary pelts to Cripps for trader

To do what? Ability to kill griefers in a certain town with being put in offensive? lol

I just don't see what that role could do.

RDR1 - you could patrol the town and arrest violent NPCS, help townsfolk and protect the town from raids.

[Jasperathome]

lets hope that the next updates over the months like r* have said they are doing adds something good

Brah. They hate, the genre or they hate their fanbase.

 

However, they LOVE big ass hats with flowers. Motherf*ckers, bebopping around, looking like Oscar Wilde, with dementia.

Has anybody gotten what's behind those mystery coupons we've had since the last Outlaw Pass?

It's a vest and the "thank you" emote. You have to go into your benefits section and claim them then they'll be in your inventory

Thank you, I checked on them earlier and saw that they were still a mystery coupon so I didn't do anything further guessing that the prizes were delayed. Completely forgot that we had to turn them in, it's been so long.

To be fair, I think the last ones just automatically showed up in our inventory. I was also confused at first so no worries!
