Jason Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 One of the good jackets from the update earlier this year is back, shame it's the one with some major clipping issues with belts.

Leftover Pizza Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) If this is anything of an indication of the future of RDO, I'm not giving it much chance for longtime players. Even now, most of the players in the list are below rank 50. Honesty forces me to say this weekly update is a kick in the nuts for the ones already down on the ground and a slap in the face for those still standing. Off all past updates these weeks, free gun oil was the most usefull one so far. Funny how they say "don't get caught lacking on the frontier". If anyone is, it's Rockstar.

-LN- Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Someone said there was a new skirt, but I don't even see that. Twitch this, twitch that. Ugh, yea, no, thanks! Content, R*, actual content is what we need! The game still has promise, but more details about what is to come would at least be something.

ZakeBudek Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I figured at least 2 weeks after the Casino (Aug 6 next week) would be the earliest for the next update of "roles starting this summer." "more news in the coming weeks" sounds like a lot longer. And counting Aug 6 there are only 7 Tuesdays left in the summer. I expect a September date for the next real update.

ALifeOfMisery Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I know GTAO hadn't had an update for around 7 months and was in need of a new DLC, but GTAO already had over 5 years worth of content, RDO is still in it's infancy and is desperately in need of new playable content. Despite this, the Casino opened in GTAO before RDO got its summer update and I fully expect the Casino DLC to get its spot at the top of the Newswire for at least a few weeks while RDO chugs along on the fumes provided by XP bonuses on PvP, 20% boosts to hunting XP, discounts on bread or whatever the f*ck R* decide to nonchalantly toss our way. August is looking like it will be a long, slow slog. RuningKikFukSlap, Tasty_Pasta, Kremita and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremita Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Jesus f*cking Christ! I can’t wait till September 21st (Last day of summer) to finally get the summer update. P.S. I still love this game. 18 minutes ago, ALifeOfMisery said: I know GTAO hadn't had an update for around 7 months and was in need of a new DLC, but GTAO already had over 5 years worth of content, RDO is still in it's infancy and is desperately in need of new playable content.

I still love the game and especially the theme, but faith in Rockstar to do something great with it is decreasing rapidly. "Here, have a hat! And an ugly one, just like we figured you'd like!" GTAO got the Casino update before RDO's and was announced after the RDO summer update announcement. Yeah, they must really care for their fans.......

Gleeman Vox Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 finally the Carcano is free. I made the mistake of buying the Rolling Block right before the Carcano got buffed. Otherwise the only notable thing this week is Tobacco on sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leftover Pizza Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 These Twitch benefits don't give me a good feeling about coming updates either. Those who use it get a lot more benefits than anyone else with previous 'exclusive' benefits. I start to feel like a pleb without it and I am sure the hell not gonna get it for benefits in a game.

Jason Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 None of the Twitch Prime benefits are game changing, $300 in cash and the Carcano rifle (forgot how much that's worth) are the only notables. Twitch Prime benefits generally are cosmetics with some small pick-me-up style benefits like an extra discount, a timed exp booster, whatever. Nothing that's going to give anyone any real advantage or big jump ahead in terms of progression and certainly not power.

I'd rather have a Carcano for free and not spend $456 on it. Shadowfennekin, Tasty_Pasta and ShadowlessDevil 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtf Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Been waiting for that ammo discount. Stocked up last time and starting to run low. It's not going to keep me in repeater rounds but helps with everything else. ALifeOfMisery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayD70 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 This lackluster nonsense is why I only pop on for a couple minutes to keep my daily streak alive anymore. 10 minutes, 15 tops depending on what I can knock out fast. There hasn't been anything even worth buying in well over a month. Not one single thing. Why bother grinding?

Danelaw Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 The Elimination Series is my least favorite, I don't have the patience for sneaking around. All the same, I'm going to start getting into Gun Rush once again. I recall winning one long ago and getting 1200xp, which is awesome when you're low level. 3 minutes ago, RayD70 said: There hasn't been anything even worth buying in well over a month.
