leave it for some weeks. I finished my 90 days streak at the weekend and I aint regret it.

You need a break, when it feels nothing like work anymore....

 

I don't mind doing the "work" in this game. I just hate doing it for nothing.

It seems like the 25% RDO$ bonus applies to Trader business, Collectibles, Bounty Hunter and Moonshiner.

Pretty much how it is with me at the moment. I let my streak run out a while ago and only hop on when my mates are coming on as well.

I'm a fairly casual player and I'm currently sitting with an extremely comfortable 280 gold and ~$21,500 dollars. I have everything that I want to buy, and so there isn't really an incentive for me to come on and play regularly. I don't really see much point in farming more and more collectibles because everything I earn now is just 100% profit.

Where as in GTA Online I was almost constantly poor and couldn't afford anything, and didn't want to do the work for money because I didn't enjoy trying to do businesses in a public session. Whilst in RDO I do enjoy it, I'm very wealthy and have nothing to buy. Its a very strange mirror.

I gave up caring so much for RDO, because its like a emotional rolercoaster since beta....Now I lean back on my grinded gold/money and pausing RDO until the next DLC arrives

I'm guessing it's a Launcher update... or a patch for something specific.

Why is it that there's not a single cell in my body, motivated enough to even login to this game and look at the 'new' items? 
I can barely bring up the energy to keep the daily streak going. 

If it wasn't for the attachment to the game world I got from SP and most of the people here I genuinely don't think I'd play, probably would've moved RDR2 to an external drive. 

 

I logged on, played the Panther mission, checked the catalogue on my phone while the mission was loading, did 4 dailies and logged off.

 

I was really back into RDO while everything was working, now I've very little enthusiasm for it.

Yeah I'm much less enthused to play since they fixed player counts. I only hop on for about 20 minutes to do dailies.

They didn't even grow the guts to use the Guarma map on a 100% scripted mission. BOH.......

 

If it's true that they'll bring a new piece of map to GTAO in December, what a better way to tease that than bringing Guarma to RDO? In a limited way, but still.......

That would actually get my attention... if it happens.

I think that increase in player counts kinda killed it for me again. I was happily doing dailies for fun and enjoying the careless travels for months. I tried a few dailies and after looking for 4 deer to skin for half an hour, I had enough of it. 

The best thing about the game world is that I felt it was mine, when population was low. No PlaYeR InTerAcTiOnS, an alive and vibrant world, no issues to disturb the immersion, it was bliss.

That feeling is gone again.

I have no problems with having more players (it's not like you run into them that often), but the fact that the random events and missions are basically gone is a turn off for me. Traveling was a joy during that period, just like in story mode. Oh well...

[IamCourtney]

I split my RDO time pretty much 50/50 between regular 10-15 player sessions and closed posse sessions with 2-6 of us and I can't perceive a difference between one and the other when it comes to spawn rates. "Stuff" in my vicinty is plentiful at times and nowhere to be found at others no matter which sort of lobby I'm in, and population of general animals/NPCs only really goes dry if there's a gunfight popping off, which makes sense.

On PC, I've only seen one random event all week, a poacher mission in Lagras many days ago.

Animals are intermittent.

Same here, though I've been a bit more fortunate with random events (not sure why), but still about half what it was with smaller sessions. Treasure tree maps are almost nonexistent (only one found over the last week).

 

Mostly campsite rescues which aren't worth a rat's posterior; one "Danger Seeker" and a couple of "take me to location X".

 

Re: Danger Seeker: No idea how taking a photo of an NPC on your horse qualifies as a "Danger Seeker"... R* logic for you. Yeah, she might try stealing my horse, but she's the one in danger; not me. lol

 

Now that I think of it--has anyone tried whistling for their horse after she rides off with it? Would be hilarious if your horse turns around and comes right back, making her explain her misdeed to your shotgun.

My camp often is just south of Valentine, and the camp defend on the hill opposite is was a regular feature (as well as being the most annoying), but I haven't even seen that one for a week.

 

That's exactly what happened the first time I came across her.

She rode off on my horse, and I'm left standing there .

I whistle for my horse and it comes back alone, must have dumped her.

The next time I was ready, but she just wanted a pic.

You know, the more I think about I realise that them not putting bicycles in the game is a MASSIVE missed opportunity. They went to all the trouble of making them in GTA only for them to be never used because we had cars, helicopters and jets etc but they could have used the same code to add them to the RDR2/RDO. Seeing people riding bicycles in Saint-Denis or Blackwater would have added alot in the way of making these "cultured places" stand out against the rest of the rough and tumble dirty map.

I've been in your shoes.
Took a 3 month break.
When I came back, it was nice. Remembered what I love about the game so much.

If they add bicycles to RDO then we will be seeing this in Saint-Denis, relentlessly.

Cyberpunk 2077 releasing in December, I guess I'm gonna drop early F in the chat for RDO "engagement levels".

They could move the update to Dec 1st or Nov 27th to get more attention. What do you think? 

[Emilie]

I feel like you all overestimate the impact one game has on another in terms of player numbers. People will play more than one game at a time if they feel like it.

More like overstimating rockstar care about cyberpunk which is another type of game.

Would have been cool if the "jaguar" was undead... 

 

I know, curse me for hoping for a bit more from R* pertaining to the season and all.

Not even that, they could have given it one damaged and bloody eye with blood stains all over it's fur, it's supposed to be vicious and you find it after it's attacked a camp and some guys so this could work.
