He did it on me too twice. He tackled and I pressed Struggle but immediately died. Was it the crouch death punch ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALifeOfMisery Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I've not had any problems with playing defensively so far. I've only been attacked maybe 4 or 5 times since the update, so admittedly I don't have much experience to put forward. But, the couple of times it happened yesterday: The first time it happened I was curious to see how the damage reduction and press charges feature worked, so I let them have the kill, I went down after 4 or 5 Cattleman shots. They were level 28. The second time, level 36 came out of the Valentine saloon, hit me with their Carbine Repeater, I activated S&S 3, pulled out my dual LeMats, they were much better at free aiming than me, but I still practically walked through them, their damage per shot was almost negligible, I spammed express rounds in their general direction until they went down.

Assblaster Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I've gotten griefed only twice since the update dropped. I made sure to press charges each time so the dirty bushwhacker faced fines. I remember I got back at one with my trusty scattergun and didn't get a bounty. So cool we can go after the red dots and not get in trouble for it.

He didn’t laugh and pressed charges, cost me 50c but was worth it. Edited May 16, 2019 by LooseCanon Chunkey_Monkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for those who stopped playing waiting for Rockstar to stop the griefing, Rockstar didn't do it. There is still griefing but I must admit that I have encountered less of it. As players get bored, I assume it will increase to the old level. And if 50 cents is all Rockstar charges, Rockstar is tacitly approving the griefing as far as I'm concerned. I do enjoy the quick roam missions but, for free roam, my buddy is investigating a new passive/solo lobby glitch. If you want to play in peace, that is still the only way to go.

I dunno anymore, I've had mostly really great and entertaining encounters with other players since the big update. I've never had so much fun with this game until now. I think a lot of rotten apples up and left the barrel. I'm coming across lots of role-players and mostly cool players, not a ton of dirty griefing like before. It was always a warzone awhile back but now it's cool I can mosey down the street without gun drawn and feel comfortable. Problems arise, I deal with em better now because of the advantages of the defensive system and the deterrent of the bounty/fine system. I'm having more fun in public lobbies than I would have in solo lobbies. Smokewood, raysis and -LN- 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon now, in my comment I admitted there is less griefing--but I'm not the only one complaining about still getting popped in game. Some people actually stopped playing because of the griefing and I'm just letting them know, it has not stopped. Again, I have experienced less, but there is still griefing.

No doubt, I get bothered now and then but not like before and it's easier for me to deal with it now. Depends on the griefer (his access to cards and explosives especially), but I'm still pretty low-rank and have no big problems yet, knock on wood.

Leftover Pizza Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Since Defense Mode is on I see very very little hassle with other players. Also, very very little interaction at all. Most of them leave you be or leave entirely. Of all player encounters I've had since the update, 2 or 3 took a single shot at me and stopped bothering. One dumbo tried to lasso me, to no prevail, and stopped bothering me after 10 times. i don't walk or ride off, but just stay where I am and they'll leave. Before the update just about any dot on the map would kill me just for the sake of shooting someone. Only 1 player so far shot me a few times and turned red on the map. Killed the dumbo quick and remained in Defensive mode. So, it seems you may retaliate without a hostility increase if they shoot first. I must admit, I have 't enjoyed the online game as much as I do now. Hunt/gather hassle free. Sell goods and stay alive, ride into a war zone and spectate. Defensive mode is actually this game's lifesaver, until griefers found a way around it. Til that moment, i finally enjoy the online game.

-LN- Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I was very, very sceptical at first about defensive mode, but since I've started playing again and using it all the time aside from when it's automatically disabled during stranger missions and the like, I've not been attacked or harassed even once. I did see someone try to kill my friend last night, who was not too far away from me, but charges were pressed and that was the last either of us saw of them. Perhaps I've been lucky thus far, but everyone I've come into contact with in FR since the update has either just ridden past me and gone on about their business or stopped, waved, and then rode away. All in all, I must say that I'm quite impressed; the last time I played prior to the update was back in mid-March and people were either very hostile back then or they'd kill you when you least expected and leave the session before you respawned. I'm sorry that some of you haven't had the best luck even after the update; I'm not sure what's going on there, but it definitely seems better than before. Hopefully they'll get whatever bugs are present sorted and no one will be forced to endure the negative elements.

Yup, exactly. We still need to cope with the forced pvp aspect. As far as I am concerned though, we have a lot less encounters going south since the update. Me and my posse only had one big fight with an another posse in the last 5 (long) nights of playing we had. Now most attackers will parley/quit/leave the server real fast after starting sh*t In fact, I believe we haven't been attacked even once for our stranger mission objective since the update dropped.

Coxbox Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Defensive mode is great, so far, here is a video from my crew member. We like that we can now stay in defensive mode and use Free Aim 100% of the time. We did notice that the griefers are just using different ability cards and more explosive ammo now.

Defensive mode is only disabled when playing certain stranger missions but you are alerted to this before accepting the mission so if you don't want to be attacked then only accept the ones that don't take you out of defensive mode, this is what I have been doing when playing solo.

CosmicBuffalo Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) I was whooping a BW roof elf...so after around 10 kills in a row...he went into defensive mode. He then used paint it black...he didnt kill me, but he drained all my health...about 2 min later he left defense mode which is b.s., he shouldve been stuck in it, of course of he can pop in and out of it. I havent tried it yet. Worst part is, this gnome killed me to start out with a bogus head shot now that nwo1 is nerfed because..."all the griefers use it," so it had to go...now these griefers just gonna pop in defense mode once they start losing...great...and then pop out a second later. Probably kill you once then hide in defensive mode trying to get kills with PIB. So basically, now I am just going to play in defensive mode. There is no reason an offensive player should be able to switch out after engaging in a fight...pathetic showing, this is basically passive mode with guns.

Leftover Pizza Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 They should let players set their prefered playstyle by choice, before spawning in a session. If you give us a "don't bother me" option, then why do we have to switch it on every time again and wait the 30 seconds for it to become active? Perhaps to give the lucky griefer who happens to be at your spawn spot? Makes no sense to me. Just make it a set & forget feature.

That69Guy Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Confused about defensive mode. I was under the Impression that if you killed someone it supposed to take you out of defensive mode. I seen people griefing killing non stop while in defensive mode. The video posted above shows that player non stop killing and never was put back in offensive. Either the description is wrong or that video should be called this is why defensive mode is broken. IDK, am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK, am I missing something? You are getting confused, the way it works is when a player shoots someone, in defensive mode they become aggressive and show up as a red dot. The person who was shot is then free to defend himself without any increase in their hostility. In other words if I get shot once in defensive mode i can shoot the other person as much as i like because they shot me first.

I don't have time to post the full thing now but I've been in a conversation with Rockstar support ever since Offensive/Defensive started. I reported my killing by a griefer while I was in Defensive mode as a glitch. I will post it tomorrow. In the meantime, if you have videos or links of anyone getting griefed/killed while in Defensive mode, YouTube videos also, please keep track of them.

CrimsonFolo Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 What's up with some players being like ghosts? I can't seem to hurt them in any way? In terms of defensive mode, I don't think I've come across many using it (they prob don't know how to activate it) Jasmyn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
