RDO Next Updates Speculation & General Chat (Part I)

[Buddy Hightower]

One of these days you guys are going to have to realize that these forums only represent at most 1% of the player-base. (more likely 0.1%)

We could all quit today and it wouldn't even register on their analysis.

As long as the $$ is coming in from gold bars and new sales - they are not going to change a thing - why would they?

IMO you guys need to either accept the games (RDO and GTAO) for what they are, or just quit.

Beating your head against the wall for no reason isn't very productive.

I gotta say, the thing I like the most in this update, its the addition of collision ragdoll on npc's

It's a dark day for collectors.

but at this time there is no good online game everything is battelroyal and I hate this mod. we have to wait until the end of October because the good games of this year are starting to relese.  i have left rdo many times and i am always back because rdo is an online game.  and it always brings new content (although they do little update)

Thank god, stuff like that ruins the game. You guys always talk about wanting to be a cowboy or a true outlaw, but then you use a 3rd party map to basically play the game for you and ruin the economy by making way too much cash.

Let me ask you sir, how much RDO cash do you currently have?

You don't have to answer because the answer is way too much, and you wonder why a campfire cost $750

lol what a joke.

For god's sake get off your high horse.

 

I got to almost 10 of each collection once (I was at 3/4 of everything from collecting normally because the spawns were so predictable) because I was bored and decided to max out all items I have max herbs, meat, loot to sell at the fence etc. etc. too.

 

I'm at around 140k without checking, 60k or so of that from collecting, the rest is almost all Trader and Moonshine.

 

R* was always going to inflate prices, they did it in GTAO where I ground I/E and Heists to over $160m, I was expecting it in RDO so I future proofed my account.

 

I've ground daily challenges with a 440 day streak to over 1k gold, all legit, so will gold price inflation be my fault too lol?

 

I don't care that the map is much less useful, almost everyone expects this to happen.

There showing up on my Twitch Prime now, but I cannot claim them, keeps giving me an error and the last lot of Twitch Prime benefits did the same thing, I don't know what's going on with it.. I may have to unlink them somehow.

Had that problem too. I got the splash screen that said my rewards were available but they were nowhere to be found

You are not alone - however you don't seem to realize that this is exactly why prices get inflated.

140K is enough to move to Tahiti - 10 times!!!

There is absolutely no way anyone should have that much cash - it ruins the game.

You also call for invite only sessions where you can make even more cash without any hassle..

 

Want to know what's really wrong with the game? Look in the mirror bud.

I am glad too that the map is useless now. Most complains came from people that were super greedy with the grind and then they were like: "new content! I have too much money and nothing to buy!". I still struggle to buy stuff in RDO so I have a reason to grind.

You show to not understand the key reason many want lobby choices if that's what you think IMO. It's not to make more money but to avoid bad sports/griefers (or in PC's case, hackers/mod menus). Money is easy anyway without lobbies so that's not a good reason not to add/want them.

 

Most I've seen want invite just want to enjoy their game with their friends in peace. 100% that's why I want them, I couldn't care less if R* halved the payouts across the board to do it. Besides, R* created the collector role which pays so well, they know they have die hard fans that can put in the hours.

 

We can only play the game they created after all. It's on R*/T2 if they economy is broken.

I understand that's why you want them, in fact that's why I want them too. However we are in a very small minority in this regard, I believe.

A vast majority of people will flat out say: "I want invite or solo lobbies to ensure my delivery isn't destroyed by other players".

RDO has been out for just over 600 days, I've played every single day, that's just over $233 per day since release. I don't spend much either, I play the game very differently to how I played GTAO, there's absolutely nothing excessive about accumulating in game cash at that rate.

 

I want invite only because more options to cater to the play style of more players can only be a good thing.

 

You're embarrassing yourself, as usual.

They knew exactly what would happen when they created the spawn cycles.

Your point being? It's somehow wrong of me to play a game every day?

lol Exactly! 

How do you not understand!

The way you guys play allows them to inflate, and this leads to people buying gold.

How? This item is 10,000 RDO$ or 2 Gold Bars - new players say sh*t I can't make $10,000 fast enough - I'll just buy gold.

They are playing you guys like a fiddle.

As shown by you elsewhere though, money is easy to make so that's far less a motivator. I dare say some want to guarantee easier money, but I don't believe it's the vast majority.

 

If anything, folk say they don't want their sales destroyed is more because the balance is out of whack.

Dude, you can miss me with this bullsh*t.

 

If new players haven't got the staying power to see the grind through they can either buy gold or not play a R* online game.

 

If anyone pays for gold out of envy it's themselves who need to take a look in the mirror.

You seem to think I'm crying about something.

However, in fact, it is you that I see crying in this forum everyday.

I'll be the bigger man and let it go.

Have a great day...

I complain about actual issues with the game, bugs, connection issues, poor design choices and execution of ideas etc.

 

You're on an online forum inhabited by some of the most die hard players of R*s games whining that people play too much and make too much in game money.

 

You're in the wrong place for that line of argument buddy.

Prices were going to inflate regardless. Just look at January Update or a the update that brought Poker to Online. Hats were costing hundreds of dollars and tens of gold's and that was way before the Collector, Bounty Hunter, and Trader was even announced. You can't blame the hardcore fans for playing the game when they love it.

Is upgrading the moonshine with the condenser and copper whatever worth it? The moonshine venture is something I tried juggle alongside the trader thing with Cripps, but I left the game when my moonshiner role was barely Level 8.

 

I have like $27K, so I obviously have money to spare, but I'm still dropping over $1600 something here, that at least justifies my concerns.

Anything else, zombie models? Drip feed content etc? 

Apparently there's evidence of a Director's mode.

The Collectible changes aren't as drastic as I expected.

A lot of players want an outlaw game with no outlaws, lol.

Yeah, after looking into it more closely it's basically if a coin was there before, there will be a coin there now, but it will be a random coin rather than a specific one.

Was in the Armadillo general store yesterday to refill my ammo, and while I was there, the store clerk says:

 

"You'd better stock up before the degenerates loot me again."

 

lol I can't even make this stuff up...
