RDO Next Updates Speculation & General Chat (Part I)

Forget about how the robberies will be or how big they are, let's speculate and talk about purchasable items that could be added in the next update or in the future.

They can and will always add new clothing, guns and horses but what new categories can they add? Unlike gtao where huge part of its content is cars and there are many classes and car's stats are different form vehicle to another, in rdo horses are pretty much the same if you have the best saddle and stirrups, only difference is size and color (health too but it's not really that important in most situations), they will probably add new customization to horses like new masks or maybe we will be able to paint our horses at some point (horse liveries lol), maybe horse armor? For the whole body as a cosmetic.

Moving to vehicles, we already have few wagons but those are utility wagons, not for fun, we might see the war wagon at some point and a bigger capacity and faster hunting wagon, heck we might even see cars but what types of wagons or vehicles can be added for fun and missing around?

 

Boats and ships will be a nice addition even luxurious yachts similar to gta. I also want to see some simple non-weaponized flying vehicles (don't hate me), maybe similar to the one you can find in in the map (flying machine) with a small engine strapped to it, just a fast vehicle for transportation and to enjoy the beauty of the map from the sky. 

This is kind of my wishlist but other than properties, what new categories of purchasable stuff can be added to the game in general? And what things or items suit a robberies themed update?

 

 

Edit: I should've probably studied for my power electronics exam instead of writing this...

I want a top notch tank immune to explosives that I can chase griefers/assholes around in.

I want to be able to do a turn of the century "taxi" service with those nice looking carriages, I enjoyed doing those things in GTA story mode and it would be pretty fun in RDO as well. 

Well okay, pretty fun for me not so much for my passengers. Those wagons don't take turns well and all. But I'll sure as heck get them where they need to go!

 

As for the horses, all they can do is give us different breeds, but in all honesty one breed isn't much different than the other when you go by class alone. If they allow us jobs that will demand a certain type of horse to do it would be different.

For example, a thoroughbred is the same animal as the stock horse (in this game the paint/appaloosa breeds). But if you want a good cutting horse the stock horse has the muscle mass and the conformation built for short stops and twists that the thoroughbred is just too long legged for.

The Suffolk is better built for strength and pulling while the Morgan is going to be more sure footed off road and in the mountains. Of course all horses can do the jobs that others can do, but some are just bred specifically for certain tasks and their bodies fit the demands of those jobs. 

Would have been nice for them to have given the breeds a little bit of a difference.

But then the griefers would have it too... and they could spawn it right in front of themselves with invincibility, explosive ammo, and teleport to you.

If you're riding about and hear huge explosions, than you know where @StyxTx is at.

No. I want it. I didn't say anyone else should be able to have one. That wouldn't be any fun.

Found a bit more info about the mystery item data, the following strings within a file associated with the cut script:

MYSTERY_ITEM_LOCATION_00
MYSTERY_ITEM_LOCATION_01
P_PAMPHLETSTACK01X

The last string is an object that's shown here:

Spoiler

This is linked with Thomas Downes who Arthur beats due to unpaid debt owed for Strauss. And we are seemingly getting an "unpaid debt" random event with the next update. Coincidence?

Loan-sharking as new "dishonourable" activity?

So the mystery voucher is basically a cash voucher with extra steps? I like the idea though

Summer runs from June-21st to Sept-23rd. 
Early / Middle / Late summer means three thirds. 

If we don't get the update by July-27th, R* is late in my book. 
There, I'm even giving them a bit of a grace period

They have to add a separate core meter for how full of beans you are.

 

...and if you use it on horseback, your horse gets spooked bucks you off and runs away.

 

...and if you do it by a fire, you catch on fire and die.

Except for the reality would be that griefers/assholes would use it to chase you around...

I was doing this for fun (RP).  Would sit in a few locations (SD, Rhodes, Valentine, BW, TW) with a top-notch carriage (preferably unmarked) near the fast travel.  My posse would be called Fells Wargo Travel Services (or something like this...I had the FW name).  Anytime I saw someone, I invited them to the posse.

 

They join, hop in, and tell me where to go.

 

Didn’t pay anything, but I drove at a solid speed and took some scenic routes.  Was a blast.  Even got to defend my customers a couple times.  
 

Good times.

Did anyone get their 2 treasure maps from last week yet? They said by the 16th but those useless cunts can't deliver anything on time nowadays.

I got those 3 tarrot cards after only a few days, not sure why I didn't get the maps at the same time.

I got 1 map and the cards even though I'm eligible for 2

Do you guys think that with "massive" update is a fix to random encounters if that is going to be a part as outlaw? They kinda fixed the animals spawning with naturalist. Even if it still broken when we need to hunt a specific animal for Crips or daily!

What's still broken about it?

I haven't experienced a problem finding particular animals for dailies since they fixed it.

that's a real possibility. 
Am also curious about any QoL improvements, or other changes to the game we might (or might not) get. 
Remember how exciting it was when they introduced changes like Hostility system, blips, Defensive mode, changes to movement speed + combat, etc. etc. 
Was awesome.. felt like the game is alive and R* really invested in shaping it. 

[SGT-WD]

I don't remember them saying "massive" about this update

[kubikin]

best qol upgrade would be a more customizable item wheel. like removing things we dont want (an actual locker), favoriting tonics or provisions, ability card presets. maybe moving the stable menu to the wheel. 

[No Homing]

Did they say the BH update was big? If they consider that to be big but not the upcoming summer update how small is it going to be?

 

I have been joking about Guido's missions being just stranger missions, but what if they really are?

 

And also they said like any good oppertunity there's no upfront cost but that's not true at all, just look at the roles.

I like to shi t on rockstar as much as anyone else but they never used the term "massive" that was what they used to describe the naturalist update and I think they've learned from that after the backlash/ people saying "THIS is suppose to be 'massive'???" So you and plenty others need to taper your expectation because its very likely this update is some new random events and a couple mission. MAYBE some clothing and a few qol changes but dont expect much because rockstar has only done a "massive" update once, years ago and hyped it up months before hand. This game is basically just a testing ground for GTA 6 Online and thats all its probably ever going to be unfortunately. I want to be wrong but the proof is in the pudding man.

you make a lot of good points. 

One thing I'm not sure about, regarding RDO being a testing ground for GTA6: what exactly do you think are they testing ?
Aren't there more efficient and cost-effective testing methods? 
GTA and RDO are similar in a lot of ways, but very different in a lot of ways too.

I don't have GTA but from what I've read the formulas they use as far as missions, etc, for both games are the same. I may be wrong, only going on what I've read about GTA.

 

As you said they are 2 different games and R* needs to realize that and not try to make RDO a GTAO type of game. Originality would be nice but that isn't their forte.

I just want them to add more headbands, weapons and shacks. And more Native-American stuff but locked behind a lot of gold bars so only people who actually see value in it spend their hard earned gold bars on it, i feel like that is the only way they can sort of stave off appropriation at least a little (I would not imagine a lot of racists would spend 25 gold on a tipi but people who value tipis will, etc).

 

Im Anishinaabe and we all have different opinions on how they should add Native stuff but we do want to see it in the game.

 

Also i noticed for a month or two now i can't get to the grassy area east of mexico that is out of the playable map and i get booted immediately to St.Denis. Could they expand the map a little across Annesburg? Maybe a Ferry service?

 

Idk im talking out my bum.
