RDO Next Updates Speculation & General Chat (Part I)

Medium sized shack on the San Luis River, with a dock for a row boat or a canoe, small horse corral and herb garden. I would pay 300 gold bars for that - 600 gold bars if it's on the other side of river in Mexico.

 

Sidenote: Rockstar could give players a small coastal village in Mexico; leaving the larger map off limits.

 

 

same here... there are 10-20 smaller properties spread all throughout the map, that would be real nice to own. 
There's a small hunting cabin west of Deadboot Creek, up near Colter. It's perfect. 
Or one of the small fishing huts in Lemoyne
Or that Hobbit-like cabin that's under a grassy mound (up in Grizzlies East I think)
Etc. etc. etc. 

What's frustrating is that this is not only content a lot of people in forums are asking for, it's content that would anchor us more into the game. 
A place to call our own. Make it customizable, I wouldn't even mind paying extra gold if I had a lot of control over how it looks inside. 
Let us hang up hunting trophies of animals we hunted ourselves. Or pictures we took ourselves in-game.
Give us fun mini-games to play with our posse. 
Give us small chores to do, that give us useful benefits for our gameplay. 
Make us do some maintenance / upkeep, so it doesn't start to deteriorate. Alternative: we pay someone to do it. 

The list goes on, I better stop here. 

The sad truth is: a shack like you described would be overpriced at 300 gold.
But at the moment, with me being thirsty after the serious content drought there has been for more than a year, I'd pay it.

I don't see the purpose owning mansions or whatever large properties and the like, as it's not as if it will be much use, since Rockstar will still make you travel to other areas to start missions etc. And no doubt we'll get some NPCs that moan at us daily just like Cripps or something that will annoy us after a while.

Mansions will be like yachts in GTAO, very nice looking but useless properties to show off our wealth.

have you tried moving to different locations right before trying to spawn your camp? 
If the camp spot I want isn't taken by another player, I can make Cripps spawn a camp in the exact spot I want quite reliably.
There seems to be a sweet spot, I can't be too far and not too close. 

When I did those ultra-short local trader deliveries to Benedict Point, I knew where to stand at Scratching post so the game would spawn my camp where I wanted it. 
Have tried in other areas too... it works well

It's not that the camp is occupied by another player because they're solo lobbies. I had heard what you're talking about but I can never get it right. I guess I should stop being lazy, visit every fast travel location and try to pitch camp from each location. The thing is, when I finally hit it this morning (after trying for two days), it dropped it in my spot after trying four or five times--and I was standing in the same spot. Now that you mention it, I'd be surprised if someone hasn't done it already.

I'd pay 600 gold for a permanent camp in Roanoke Ridge, in the uppermost right corner of the map near the waterfall. I've been moving camp from one place then back to Roanoke repeatedly,  trying to pitch my camp in this one spot since Monday and only hit it this morning (Wednesday). And I play in solo lobbies 99% of the time and it still won't move there. Best spot in the game for me though I do hate doing long distance deliveries from there (but if I move my camp to a better delivery spot, I'd probably never get that camp for a long while).

That is my favorite place, especially when the fog roles in. It gives me a sort of supernatural vibe for some reason, like there are ancient spirits in those woods.

 

Not really looking forward to a mansion property to be honest. I have that casino penthouse in GTA online and my character looks like a dirty biker, it just doesn't fit him, as a big fancy house would not fit my RDR character's personality either. He's just fine putting up his boots wherever he is allowed, really I could easily see him being perfectly happy finding a table at the shack and taking a rest there. My gunslinger is a vagabond, and just isn't the sort to be looking to be held down by a property under his own responsibility. 

But, just like the casino, I would probably buy it because I have to get something new every once in a while.

Oh and I want to see my dog in the shack laying next to the fireplace 

Yes! I would love to have a place to actually see my current horses in their own paddock outside the shack, and I'd be happy to be able to bring my hound Fern to the shack so she could sleep in front of the fire out of the elements and away from grumpy old Cripps.

Had a look at the jeanropke map. 
There are 3 small camp site spawns pretty close to each other, that could throw the game off alittle - depending on where you stand when pitching camp. 

I think your best chance at spawning "your" camp is to start at "your" camp site, go SW along the river, across the train tracks, and start trying to spawn camp then. 
If you try to spawn camp from a fast travel post, there are too many other camp sites the game can pick from. That makes it unreliable

I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

Update--Darned if it didn't work! First time, too! The spot you mentioned I knew had the Rams' Head we needed for today's daily, so I went there to pick them, then pitched camp. It went right over to the other side of the track where I wanted. I guess having to first go all the way up there to reliably pitch the camp is a small price to pay. Thanks again!

hey that's cool it worked, txs for the update

[RyuNova]

I have said it before, we need a Ranch update where the Ranch is a separate cell from the main world space. 

 

That way we can have it be open air with no load screens to enter the actual buildings, the Stable can show our horses and we can have our Wagons parked around the property etc.

 

Give us plots of land where we can have stuff built like Stables, let us customise the inside like we can with the Casino Penthouse, choosing where furniture goes etc. Go even further and let us interact with the place like lighting the fireplace or turning lamps on or off in certain rooms.

 

Stuff like manikins, weapon racks and display tables. Let it be a money sink if you want but the outcome is something that's ours, a monument to our RDO adventures.

Hey cowpokes, I have been out of the forums for a few days, I missed something?

Oh, big Oof....

 

 

 

Nah okay I see there is nothing more apart from the OP 5, and I think they will release the new telegram missions with the new Outlaw Pass on the 16th, it will be like "Hey there you go, new OP and some new telegram missions!!"

I mailed R* yesterday on the RDO suggestions tab about a posible bounty hunter role expansion in Nuevo Paraiso (maybe it´s in the junk folder now, but it´s free so it´s worth the try), I want that place so much, I wrote them with the idea of bounty hunting in Mexico and for that you need to pay again a bounty hunter mexican license, to be able to do your role in a foreign country, because we have the USA bounty hunter license, it´s not international lol, so that could be the way to justify to pay again a bounty hunter role and not what they did in december... and maybe if they want to add a greedy paywall they could not allow non mexican bounty hunters to cross the border by the bridges, and if you try it by crossing the river or whatever they f*ck your balls like when you try to get in NA and Blackwater with Arthur, but I would prefer NP to be available for everyone, no matter if they bought the mexican BH license or not. And they have all the assets of the first game so it shouldn´t be so hard to port that to the RDR2 RAGE, I mean, it was harder to make the Moonshiner shack by scratch lol, that was completely new

I'd bet anything that if they added a stable they'd only allow us to put the horse we are currently using in it and that's it.

[Sentinel Driver]

Nowadays if I need tonics or ammo, I just head to Thieves Landing and kill Del Lobos to fill my inventory up! It's fun and good xp!

Anyways we already know that the next update is probably going to be an expansion to the trader role 

I'd want a bandit/heist update but whatever. The game mechanics are good enough (combat etc.) to keep me entertained for now.

[Rev. Gnash]

 

“- Everett: Well, there are all manner of lesser imps and demons, Pete, but the great Satan himself is red and scaly with a bifurcated tail, and he carries a hay fork.
- Tommy Johnson: Oh, no. No, sir. He's white, as white as you folks, with empty eyes and a big hollow voice. He likes to travel around with a mean old hound. That's right.”

 

...and he got a job at Rockstar, giving the green light to these dumbass updates. That's right.

As long as a high enough % of players get excited and buy this garbage they'll keep pumping it out.

 

Isn't that dude smoking with the straw beard worried about setting the beard on fire?

I would like to see crossplay in RDO and GTAO. Most of my homies play games on pc and I'm completely lonely playing heists on Xbox. Initiating crossplay wouldn't be that hard, especially with Social Club.

[racingman11]

I can't believe the lack of content / update.

 

I had my first child in october, so I stopped playing RDO, I just used gold for the Halloween pass and to unlock the 20 ranks (I had absolutely NO TIME to play). I come back this week expecting to be overwhelmed by new content...

 

Tell me if i'm wrong, but since I left there is 10 new ranks to the Bounty Hunter Role, 3 Legendary Bounties, 3 Telegram missions, Outlaw Pass N°5 and... nothing more to do ?

 

Well at least I can catch up fast...

 

Can we expect something big for the next update ? I heard Taxidermy, which would be a letdown...

Edited March 7, 2021 by racingman11

[OREOBOREALIS]

So there was some new missions added right? Where do I find them?

[racingman11]

You collect the Telegram at the Post Office, you open the Telegram in your satchel and there you go. There are 3 missions, but that's only very generic missions. 23 minutes cooldown between missions.

haven't tried any telegram mission yet...auto-aim is just killing it for me!

[roggek]

You know that you can alter "auto-aim too "free aim" and the strength of "aim assist" in the settings under controls?

no I don't. can you really change it, during that very mission!?

You can't. Only on ruthless difficulty. 

 

You can act like it is free aim though if you only press the left trigger halfway. 

If you are on Xbox (I assume PS4) you can use the elite controller to lock the left trigger to 50% so it does that automatically and basically only allows free aim even on auto aim only missions.

The hardest difficulty are autoaim only.

[BUT THE BENZ]

^yeah that I know already....you can sit through this auto-aim horror 3x and then have your freedom. but to me auto-aim is really a MESS of gameplay since I cannot aim with it...camera keeps swinging around, at enemies I didn't even want to point my gun at (yet)...so that sh*t pretty much KILLS the immersion. and I can't stand that 3x....

those missions do not seem worth it anyways...

[AutisticAnarchist]

Honestly I'm baffled by the content in Outlaw Pass 5. The only explanations I can think of are they're still working with ideas initially suggested for the Halloween Pass (unlikely) or they're trying to appeal to younger players with mommy's credit card info (sadly, quite likely)

[TagoKG]

so if R* does not extend pass 4 expire date, this tuesday should announced "new" pass 5 and with "lucky" the trader extension..

Well, if R* doesn't want to add ranches maybe this will work eventually.

They don't give a f*ck and OP5 is just sh*t scraped up of the cutting room floor and added to the Pass.

[AdamNortonUK]

I've noticed that they've added a type of Moonshine Production to the Roles on the Social Club like the Collector's Bag and Animal Field Guide - Red Dead Online - Moonshiner Business (rockstargames.com)

However, it doesn't seem to be working yet, or correctly since I have a completed batch of Strong Moonshine.... 

 

 

I'm wondering why they've decided to add it after all this time, unless perhaps the small Trader expansion includes the Moonshiner Role as well, or it's not a Trader expansion but a Moonshiner expansion... hmmmm!!?!
