That mission took 3 minutes or so and the gator hardly put up a fight, not impressed with this mission.

 

Is there a hidden cooldown for the mission? Because it's not on her list now.

 

Oh I guess it's now random like her other missions. They reset in 4 min.

Well, this update should have been a side content along something more meaty and requested, so i didnt expect otherwise.

What could have been the alternative for GTAO? Give out 3 cars at launch and keeping the rest for the rest of the year? Good luck to the Newswire guy making a post out of that update.

What are you even talking about? This is literally what R* have been doing for years.

but this rhetoric by the RDO community that Rockstar only gives a f*ck about GTA is quite frankly getting old.

You don't have to read it if your fanboy feelings are getting hurt.

Dearly,

someone who's been playing RDO nonstop since last month, and has been loving it as well.

Since last month?

Come talk to me in another 20 months or so.

Does anyone know if the Banded Gator mission is a one-time only attempt?

My game glitched out and I couldn't complete it.

The timer has reset and it hasn't re-appeared in the list of missions.

GTAO gets the entire update day one, RDO has to skip weeks to drag out some hats, coats and animals to hunt.

as anyone had any bugs with this update as i have loads 

[Tez2]

I'm generally curious as to why Rockstar didn't think of any sort of motivation to increase activity rates with Harriet once almost everyone reach level 20. It's kinda obvious that with her intolerable attitude and strict rules, players would start moving over to Gus side and dismiss her pleas for wildlife conservation.

They did plan out a similar piece of content, which is Harrietum Officinalis, that shall function the same as peyote plants, but it's reserved for a limited time event, thus it shouldn't be taken into the main equation. Heck, I would settle for a dozen of vouchers as gifts for your efforts.

[mgeoff88]

I’m glad they finally added a new Sighting mission, but I don’t like that they made it so short compared to the other missions. I mean, it takes about three minutes to complete it.

 

The mission should’ve had us go in a boat to try and find the Banded Gator, and then when it surfaces, we have to race back to shore before it sinks the boat, similar to when you encounter the Bull Gator during the story. A real missed opportunity. 

 

I hope they put more effort into the other Sighting missions.

[Caffeination]

Hmm... seems my session has abruptly lost all NPCs and animals, only Cripps and Nazar and other role-related NPCs are present. Horses are taking ages to get called as well.

 

This doesn’t look good.

[Talisman_83]

If there was one DLC where they had an opportunity to get really creative with clothing, it was this one.

So much potential - for each type of each animal, they could've created a coat (minus the head / hood), chaps, gloves, cloak.. you name it.

So many options.. wasted.

 

I can only surmise that they had years to come up with and perfect the amazing trapper outfits in single player, whilst they had only months to come up with this DLC.

Rushed, they must've been like

 

"Quickly, what could we do for each legendary animal?" 

"Uh.. how about each animal's head as the hood of a coat"

"Small amount of effort.. Perfect!"

 

Shame.

 

Never thought I'd say this, but I'm looking forward to future roles that don't revolve around hunting animals.

 

The December DLC; augmentations to an existing role.. could be interesting but would it be a role in and of itself?

 

I also wonder if they'll stop with the whole role thing at some point and just.. release stuff, instead of it being centred around a theme.

[Viewbob]

 

[Potter145]

I will craft all the coats for the completionists sake but will never wear them. They look silly with the animal heads. Singleplayer trapper clothing is much better. Hope they add something similar in the future.

To me it seems silly that they make you wear the darn animal's heads. I mean, sure it makes it obvious that you are wearing the skin of a legendary animal, but I cannot get behind it. It would have been better if we had been able to purchase a property and have the animals as trophies to display if we chose to instead of those crazy looking hooded coats. I get that R* wants you to be able to show off your "kill" but everyone has a chance at those animals?

 

That kind of kills the uniqueness of wearing the trophies in the first place doesn't it?

 

And I'd be more inclined to hunt these buggers down if I could have outfits and accessories like story mode had.

I wouldn't mind if the heads were separate entities, like the coyote hat, for instance.

Choose to pair it with other items or wear it with the coat. R* could even have made the full coat + hood a separate cost from buying the head on its own, would've been a win-win for them.

 

Anyway, I speculate that we won't see the last of additions to Gus' store after the dripfeed ends.

Don't know if you know this, but you can remove the top in the character menu.

 

yes i know, they still look ridiculous.

This is interesting.

 

If you know, what will be the use of the Vitalism Studies Pamphlets? Will they allow us to turn into animals at any time or will we be paying gold to have the ability only during limited time events?

Harrietum Officinalis is the name of the plant that I believe you have to find and collect flowers from, which is necessary for the Vitalism Studies Pamphlets that transforms you into one of the few animals. Each animal requires a Vitalism Studies Pamphlet (which costs gold) that you have to study to pinpoint one or several locations in which the essence of the animal is strong, then you consume samples of Harrietum Officinalis at said location to transform into the specific animal.

Well, to be precise they had 5 years or more to produce the whole game, not just a few coats lol... to be fair i think that is at max a few weeks of work, and that speaking of a good quality and diverse clothing.

Anyone know the cooldown for the Banded Gator sighting? I did the mission several hours ago and it still has not shown back up.

It's random which missions are available. The first Banded Gator is just a bonus freebie, so to speak.

That was fun, those peyote plants in GTA. Until I got hit by a car as a dog, dive bombed the side of a building as a bird, and I also died when I tried to do the cliche' Jaws fin above the water thing when I was a shark. But when I was a cat, I had nine lives and a voracious need for donuts (which were actually bagels). Lol it was fun for a short time, but I couldn't play with those much.

 

And without private servers I don't think I would be willing to try them out anyways.

 

But I wouldn't be against non free roam missions that include the use of them.
