Shooting folks in the back

 Kinda tired of getting sneak attacked by cowards that shoot people minding their own business, for BS reasons. We need a "Call Out" system to properly start fights, not going around being colossal jackasses because you most likely are bad at showdown. Not cool when you don't actually get a chance to defend yourself, since you know you've been KILLED from a sneak attack. Honestly, R* needs to put all these trigger happy a-holes together in the same server. When I feel the need to fight players, I go to a structured event, you know, SHOWDOWN ????

Know the feels dude. Been offed myself by some of these absolute heroes before I can even see my character online let alone be in a position to make him do something. It's like a competition between them all to see who can sink to the lowest levels of internet slime the quickest.

Just an opinion, but spawning in at your camp would avoid spawn killing.  You know R* though.  Surprised you dont spawn in the middle of a lake or something.

Mentioned that exact point to R* on day 1 through the official feedback Frykill. Too obvious a solution and kills a little revenue stream I guess. Have been spawned into war zones I would have thought could be easily avoided a few times though not a lake yet I'll admit. Well done for that then R*.

 What triggered this rant for me was being shot from behind, in the head (twice) literally as I was turning away from the fence, after selling some items from a mission.

Yeah, these types of players give PvP a bad name.

 

I'll never be against PvP, but it's so obvious PvE and PvP don't mix. It's ignorance and laziness from R*, nothing more/less.

Worse still there's actually an award, Kill players from behind, up to 1000 kills.

I'm not anti-pvp but these are some of the most frustrating kills for me too...you spend a few minutes around another player and they seem cool only to take a cheap shot and run when you let your guard down...much prefer if they just come up to me shooting first..it seems much more honest..

Doesn't happen often enough to me for it to be that frustrating. I kind of like the excitement of the unexpected.

We should get to see pics of the devs who think stuff like that up, give credit where credit is due. I betcha he's a wormy little weasel.

Stupid sh*t like this just makes me think that the design team are a bunch of assholes themselves. Bet they laugh at their own jokes too.

 

Some "friendly" guy tried shooting me in the back while riding a train out of St Denis a couple of days ago... lucky for me his aim wasn't all that and I gave him a face full of shotgun for his troubles. Three more failed attempts on me later and he eventually sloped off.

 

Calling someone out (and having them accept) might be an interesting option for players - i'd rather some low-life cowboy stepping up in a saloon with some mighty strong words (maybe the piano could stop as soon as the emote is performed?) instead of just barging through the door and start spamming the trigger while diving around like a premier league footballer.

As predicted, I still get shot at the butcher shop by blue dots camping out. To make matters worse, the perp can fast travel away and you can never find them. 

 

I noticed attacks from social justice warriors. My avatar is flaming red hot from defending myself and punishing the guilty. That is, I spawn rape them three times in a row.

 

I was hoping the red dots would act as a deterrent. Some blue dots want to be a hero and ambush me. Only to get demolished and making me even redder.

You don't lose pelts and stuff anymore when killed, so just parley and sell your stuff. Revenge is a weakness anyway. As Michelle Obama said; when they go low, we get high.

 

Obviously red dots are not a deterrent, people will f*ck anything that moves. I also like to use them for some of the PVP dailies because I assume they're down to play.

I'm all for a pve lobby. We should have a pve forum here aswell. And the users wouldn't be able to use the pvp section of the forum and RDO and vice versa.

Then I wouldn't have to hear all this bitching every day.

I can't even comprehend how it is still a problem for some people. I can go whole sessions without meeting anyone.

I'll submit a ticket to R* when I boot up the old laptop. I'm fed up and almost inclined to agree with that "Griefer" guy more than any of you.

Fully agree. I could never imagine getting killed in a game and running to the forums to cry about it.

Even when PvE lobbies come, they're still going to be in here, crying about other forms of griefing like animal stealing etc.

They won't be satisfied until Rockstar lets them play this online game all by themselves.... and then they'll complain that the game feels lifeless blah blah blah

 

I want invite and crew lobbies too, but part of me respects Rockstar for holding the line so far. I bet the devs really do laugh at these whiners.

You know that there is an award for killing players in back. Rockstar wants us to play that way. I'm not saying its 

Ok but the game was designed like that.

My motto is kill before you get killed even if they are blue. I my self gave some players the opportunity just to ride by, and most players attack. Not very many players just ride by. There is a few tho. Rockstar always made pvp games.

Pulled this from a locked thread because it applies:

 

  

 Long day at work, come home to unwind, escape from the world... Maybe the person on the other end of your rifle is also looking to unwind after a hard days work or escape their own problems. What right do you have to deny them their hobby or pastime? Also, PvP Showdown sessions remain unchanged and still remain the best method of earning XP, Cash and Gold Nuggets with no risk of loss. Meanwhile hunting, fishing etc only net you cash with high risk of profits being lost, even due to disconnects. So you're essentially a spoiled child with all the toys and lollies going around a sandpit and kicking sand in the face of others because they won't play with you.

 

If you were actually any descent at video games you'd be in the PvP showdown and be asking for a ranked mode to show off your prowess. Instead you're the same as a grown man barging into a pre-school and kicking sand in the face of children to get into a fight with a four year old.

When they go low, I go like this:

I think Al-Qaida didn't get the memo. Michelle Obama should have given Osama a hug. Lolz.

It actually says „enemies“ not „players“. You could complete the whole award with just npcs.. just saying. 

Nevertheless I know where you‘re coming from!

Uuuuhm okay. Then I need to take this back, sorry. 

I was pretty sure it said enemies, maybe it was changed...? I dunno. Probably I just recalled it incorrectly! Thx for clarification.

 

however, I know that npcs counted for this award. I need to check next week if they still count.

You're right I could.

The title is pretty vague though, so didn't know what to expect.

Title should've been: "PVE mode please" or something like that. But its not. Its vague click bait.

Trust me I get pissed off at least as much as any of you when assassinated while minding my own business. 

But I don't lose anything being killed other than pride.

Pelts persists on my horse and now I even respawn (able to change session) with my cores and bars intact. 

Its a douchebag move, but it's about the only excitement left for (I assume) most of us playing this game. It gives us something to do, retaliate.

But as I said PVE'ers has now convinced me.

Let them have their own game. But remove parley and other pve aspects from the real RDO. And don't let pve'ers come on our pvp sessions with their easy acquired money, gold and Ranks to pvp and grief.

It would ruin the game for us who likes the pvp as it is.

No worries mate, there's something like 500+ awards and I bet I couldn't say what 75% of them are. I also wouldn't put it past R* to alter some of them either.

 

I actually only knew about this one after getting the "10 kills on players from behind" notification pop up while I was killing someone who'd tried to kill me, I wasn't about to let a little thing like them running away get between myself and retribution.

It's not a PvEers thread, it's got little to do with PvE overall as this way of killing is often equally as frustrating for PvP players too. As you showed, it vexed all playstyles at times.

 

But Yeah, until R* make it clear one way or the other about PvE/friendly lobbies, it will remain a big topic of discussion. With those, I'd be all over the game for sure. Many would.
