RDO Next Updates Speculation & General Chat (Part I)

[CosmicBuffalo]

I saw the theoretical schedule for legendary animals.  What are the chances that we get the moose sighting mission next, and then Halloween update and drip feeds until mid November regarding this Halloween content, and then the panthers which were advertised on the day one hype post for the Natualist, but is literally the bottom of the barrel event week...to my knowledge no one even complained on here, and I get it there's a lot to complain about, but the drip feed for animals like the pather/jaguar which were show cased on the prerelease info page...we have just come to expect this behavior.

There are two types of people that play Red Dead Online, those who wear their pants over their boots and normal people.

I fit one of those labels, but which one?

However, IMO something as simple as stealing a horse and selling it to a 'Horse Fence' shouldn't require a role. R* could easily limit which horses are sellable by giving most horses in the game a burned-in brand. GTA Online simply used the "this car is too hot to sell at LSC" excuse.

 

That way, finding a wild horse (or owned, but not yet branded horse) would be harder to find but still completely open to all players. You could even have honest players trying to recapture a horse in the process of being stolen and return it to its owner for a reward.

They have that in the original game, running down the horse thief and returning the animal back to it's owner. I actually enjoyed those little random encounters.

It's on their roadmap, but I believe they probably want to integrate it with some kind of role, or maybe equip it with a similar system akin to GTAO's daily limit, tracking stats and preventing any kind of exploit or misuse. Such requirements would surely delay the arrival of this desired feature.

 

It sucks a little bit, but at least it may help in minimizing the time spent on patching all the "aftermath" glitches, and accordingly redirect their focus into making newer content or resolving more important bugs.

So we may or may not be looking for an actual rustler job? I can see where that kind of addition will add a lot to the game, but I love the idea of being able to steal a whole herd of cattle or horses with a posse and running them to the nearest corrals for a good pay day. Or protecting that herd from rustlers should you wish to take the honorable route.

You strike me as a pants tucked in kinda girl. You seem to have a liking for the tight leather look.

And I regret doing a search for leather gifs now, there are things that should not be seen, and I have unfortunately seen them.

I jest but it does confuse me. As someone that grew up in the English countryside the idea of buying a pair of proper hard-working and wearing boots only to have your pants trail on the ground and get covered in mud, grass and whatever the f*ck else seems foolish to me. Why buy high boots if you are not going to use them for what they were intended for? To keep your pants clean and away from wear and tear.

I wear boots on occassion IRL and they actually keep the pants from dragging the ground, or higher off the ground than my normal shoes. I'm lazy and don't feel like making the effort to tuck them in. It's enough work just putting them on.

Its raining here 95% of the time and I live next to a wooded area that my dog loves going in and I won't deny him that simple pleasure. Better to have some good waterproof boots and your pants tucked in than not when you step in a three-inch deep rut full of muddy rainwater.

Its not like im against daily limit but when i was playing gtao and need quick cash thats where i sold the unused cars. Hopefully R* understand this as well.

Wouldn't it be neat if they made world changes to the map for Halloween, as they did with Christmas last year? Larger, consistent full-moon, more bat spawns, ghost trains, spooky noises here and there

I can see where some aspects of game play more or less require a "role" in terms of logistics (e.g. Moonshiner needing a cabin, 'cook', wagon, etc.)

 

However, IMO something as simple as stealing a horse and selling it to a 'Horse Fence' shouldn't require a role. R* could easily limit which horses are sellable by giving most horses in the game a burned-in brand. GTA Online simply used the "this car is too hot to sell at LSC" excuse.

Well, I hardly think their plan would just center around Horse fences, it's likely to involve Wagon fences too, and the latter has potential to establish it in the form of a role.

That is helpful though I mean like when you go up to Harriet & you have 3 sighting missions available with a 48 minute countdown before they change. I’m looking for something that can predict what the next three available will be.

I have already attempted to do something like this with some others. However, each player got a different set of Legendary Animals every 48 minutes so it’s completely random for all, the same applies to the Moonshine Buyers list every 96 minutes.

Well it depends how long that lasts. Would be fun if the world turned to undead nightmares with zombies everywhere for halloween though ,,, maybe a week, but if it lasted a full month it would get annoying for those who want to play on normal world. Maybe there should be 2 options to choose. Normal or undeadnightmares.

A distant sound echoes through the vast land, yet you suddenly realize it's Clay asking for them horses. I can see that as the equivalent of Simeon text messages.

I hope it works like the OG Simeon I/E texts to be honest, not every activity has to be a Role.

 

Stealing wagons and stealing/breaking wild horses for profit doesn't need to be any different than in SP.

Which explains well The Men from the Ministry line: "...with the bowler, briefcase and brolly brigade.." (South African version intro)

 

Gotta love those old British radio (and TV) shows.

Back on topic: One of the best things about RDO has to be no phones like GTA Online! Thank goodness.

You know how everything you see of England on TV looks grey? Everything is not actually grey, its just the weather and lack of natural light.

Yeah, I think the main thing is giving players the choice of normal or zombie infestation.

 

That said, I had a blast years ago playing the Counter-Strike: Source zombie mod--got kind of old with the tiny maps and limited climbing access, but with an extensive map like RDO, fighting and evading zombies could be pretty addicting; at least for a while!

yeah it sure would be fun and this made me remember that ive been dreaming that rockstar cames makes a open world zombie survival game. I mean think about how great and better would it been if rockstar games made those The Walking Dead games. Or a Undead Nightmares game as its own game, but in modern time.

Sure, but the thing is in rdo is pretty easy to earn money, there must be something behind the activity, a reward... if there were premium content that drained our wallets and nuggets like in gta, a simple activity as that would have a point besides the role playing even if we didnt obtain anything special, of course rockstar developing department is crap  and slow so everyone is rich  by now. I believe the role is unavoidable because of it.

Well considering how legendary animals and bounty hunter role were paid, I won’t be surprised if you need to pay certain amount of gold in order to do these sort of activities in online 

[AltiMetro]

It might make more sense to introduce new gameplay features small, then expand them into roles.
Would give us content and new gameplay loops at shorter intervals.

Small intro: an update with a cutscene ("here's a guy who will buy wild horses off you"). We can start selling horses to him. He has a weekly list of certain breeds which fetch a higher price. Only has $xxxx weekly budget / player
Role: fleshed out Rustler/Breeder/Horseman role with stables, missions, etc. etc.

Small intro: "you can now rob NPCs, stage coaches, businesses, etc."
Role: Outlaw role with ...........

Small intro: "there are 10 legendary fish, sell them to XYZ or sample them"
Small intro: "Birds have been added to the Naturalist compendium"

there probably is not much addons like clothing in next dlc so,,,,,, meh... When will the dlc after that come? Next year?

Oh, ok. I don't consider that a DLC, it's just a holiday event with a 20 rank Pass and new game mode.

 

The next actual DLC will probably come some time between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
