I think you are missing something, Rockstar posted a photo for a posse rob a train, make sure of your words before you accuse others, people think before they talk, do not they? 

 

How does that confirm it? If Rockstar said something like 'Train robberies coming in the summer update' I would call that confirming it. Posting a picture of something is just them suggesting something that could happen in the game.

Well, not to be pedantic but you can technically already rob homesteads, you're just more likely to find baked beans instead of RDO$ xD 

 yes that’s true but you got my point

The same as in stranger missions. We actually already have outlaw stranger missions with The Boy, Stuttering Tom (or whatever his name is), Slim and Triple D (Tammy and her brother), mama Watson and a few others. So yeah, more of the same.

 

Wouldn't it be nice if we could cause havoc without having to go through some formulaic procedure or something spawning to allow us to do it? Like we could just be out wandering around and decide to rob a store, bank, or whatever.......like real life, without getting "permission" from the game programming or assigned a job from some NPC? Let us be like Arthur in our freedom to do what we want.

Yes I know there are those missions, I do them when I’m bored. But they’re not true outlaw experience. Also they’re random, if you want for example stagecoach robbery you have to wait till the stranger offers it and that’s the thing I think will be different in upcoming update. I think you’ll be able to select a mission from the list of missions from Guido. 
 

It would be nice but don’t forget that it’s not quite possible. There are four banks iirc. How would it work? Imagine a scenario when 90% of the lobby will go to rob a bank at the same. There’s a big chance that groups of players will meet at the bank and that would create chaos. Would be the bank closed for everyone else when the first player/posse enters the bank? What about players waiting on them outside when they’re leaving the bank? Yes a little skirmish would be good agree first but after some time when you just wanna grab the loot and escape it would get annoying. 
 

Bank jobs should be done in instanced lobby without a timer and multiple ways to execute the job. 
 

Robbing a store in free roam could be done in my opinion tho. There are a lot of shops so there’s not a chance every shop will be already occupied by other players who decided to rob it   

[SGT-WD]

What if those free roam robberies were similar to treasure maps and not dynamic events? You loot or collect a tip written on a paper, if you open the paper the robbery and the money will spawn in some homestead, but maybe collecting those tips will be easier than treasure maps

That’s really great idea. The tips could be looted from enemies or found in random places with collectibles as well.

tbh the thing i am excited for the most is being able to look through new files again.
the missing file names will be annoying, but oh well.
it should be relative easy to extract the outlaw pass stuff if there are more than 1 added.

 

Let's hope they address that annoying cold dialogue bug in camp for the Story Mode.

I was given four gold bars from R*. Anyone else receive this? If so, why we get it?

Yep i just received one too , the voucher says "available through November 16th"

[rollschuh2282]

ok i have to check.
i will be happy if i got one too.

lol, i just checked the social club page first, and seems like i got it too.
NICE

[SGT-WD]

Today R* was supposed to fix the issue with op5, maybe they accidentally gave away the gold voucher on the last tier again

Banks should not be easy to rob. I guess they could be done in a way it's done when we enter our shine shack while we're inside but when we leave the bank it's like leaving the shack, back out in the real world. If there are others outside the bank as we leave, well, there's a challenge and I think that would be good. There are other players in the towns anyway as it is now. We shouldn't be able to waltz in, kill some weak NPCs and walk out unscathed. Even the law in this game is pathetically lame. The trouble with this game as it is now there is such a lack of challenge and that's why I can't stand to get back into the game. But bank robberies could pose a threat from other players just as trader deliveries and a few other things do since the NPCs can't do anything.

R* has posted pictures of things in the past that ended off being no more that background options for your photos.

Well - Thank you for 4 Goldbars.

By the way that I read the first line of text from the newswire, it seems that the ability to rob homesteads and the like is just one part of the update we will be getting since it says:

It's quite possible that it's not part of the Role they may introduce or whatever.  We'll probably just getting Trader Role Expansion instead tough. 

what's the updside of them not mentioning a role expansion at all? Doesn't make sense to me. 

[TagoKG]

So GTAO Got 2 weeks event = rdo next week update

If bank robberies are well executed, fun, replayable, AND done in normal lobbies, we'd have pandemonium for months. 
You'd have 4 hotspots / chokepoints on the map, that a lot of players are getting funneled to. 
Lots of random PvP killings, griefing and camping. 

However R* does it, I hope they do it right.

fingers crossed they've worked on this update's game mechanics and systems, and balanced everything well so it fits into the existing world nicely. 

If they get this update right, it's the perfect set up for a white hat lawman role. 

Imagine being a Sheriff, and getting a tip about another player robbing a bank, a store, a train, whatever. You grab your Deputies (aka your own posse, or some NPCs), and race to the crime scene. 
You set up outside, and wait for the robbers to make a move....  

Just like in the movies... could be awesome.

Same here, on PC, it appeared as I loaded in to my camp.

[Janiro]

I think they only gave the goldbars to people who bought the Outlaw pass with gold. I also got the gold on my main, but not on my second account i play on only sometimes.

[TagoKG]

My gold up now to 4104 thanks R*

Interesting: The new GTA Online event week lasts for 2 weeks. Could be some kind of a sign that something is planned for RDO next week? That would be a surprise. But it also couldn't be a sign...of course.

No! Not on a Thursday. But the fact that there's nothing "special" next weeg on GTAO could be a good thing for RDO and a sign for something to happen here. Maybe. But maybe not. We'll have to wait

Yeah, that would be cool.

What I would like to see in this game, is being able to manipulate sedated predators so they can be used as a trap.Using Aligators/Bears or Panters to mangle enemies, enemy possees , for instance. Being able to tame wild animals would be awesome.Being able to use cages and drag them onto the wagon, and put sedated Aligators in them or Grizzlies, it would be so hilarrious to lure enemy players into a shack and have them be eaten alive, hehehehe.

 

I kind of miss Pythons in this game.

Personally I do not want another Naturalist themes update. Not until all outlaw stuff is here + lots of stuff to spend gold/cash on.
