RDR2's battle pass is quite possibly the dumbest battle pass out of them all to pay to skip with tbh. Easy as piss to level it up.

I'm sure they were hoping to get some gold sales out it.

Well not with the current rewards though. It's weird, they classified the first pass as "heavily discounted", which lead to believe the next pass would be bigger and fancier... But Pass number 2 is merely 5 gold more expensive... And for what? Some really niche cosmetics, a reskin of a pair of pants we could already buy, two outfits that can't be modified and some discounts on clothes I already purchased in the last two months. I guess for a new player joining in today these are appealing but my wardrobe is already filled with stuffs I don't wear because I can only have so much outfits at once lol. The husky is cute tho. As much as I fancied the first pass' rewards, now with the current one I'm just... really indifferent. If only the clothings we got could be recolored at will... But this is only possible on the mystery voucher rewards (so something that will be given to me for pass #3).

 

The vouchers/discounts are interesting by themselves but overall there's nothing mindblowing about the pass.

 

I would have thrown money at Rockstar if they made the pass around 50 gold and it included Outlaw Pass 1 for PC players but... I guess we'll be locked out the first pass' rewards for months... If not forever.

Did the cycle reset time change? Pre-patch cycles rotated at 7 PM EST. Yesterday around 10 EST I emptied the map of all available collection items but as of today noon EST, some of them were reset and there were even additional collections that were missing yesterday (e.g. arrows, eggs...)

It's kind of funny to see how we're aĺl puzzled n sh*t as to how R* switched up the collectibles/cycles. With new locations for certain items it will be interesting to have a second look at the world again.It's a nerf that's really in favor of the player I think, it should  keep us from OD'ing on that collection-trip, for now!

 not all of the collection items have the same cycle.

Metal detector got the biggest Collector nerf by far. There's like a quarter of the spots there used to be every day.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh 

 

Well it could have been worse, like a real randomizer. The pattern will still be predictable at some point.

And there's new locations. Bird nests in other trees, heirlooms in different shacks etc.

Yep and I am so mad. I never used the map, I just liked coming across collectibles while riding around, it made me actually want to play the game. Now I can ride across half the map and not get a single hit, its really disappointing and has made me stop playing once again.....too bad.

rockstar treats pc players like roaches. he have to wait a year for their ports that are lazy and rushed. i understand a 1060 is not exactly high end graphics but on console settings i should expect at least 80 fps. they also implement next to no anti cheat in online and overall give no f*cks about us. what a joke

So from what I've heard and am now also seeing my self, it seems like each set has it's own set of cycles now.

Except Flowers. Each flower has it's own cycle. And now there are more than 3 cycles. Something like 6-7 of them.

I also felt like changes were coming, I rushed the night of Dec. 12 to get that last batch completed before the patch. I kinda like it, I spent too much time collecting without really knowing it.

I don't mind it really. The last day I did some collecting was when @ALifeOfMiseryand I sold our souls to the shiny dollar by using the online map for an hour. I still sit on a good amount of money, serving me through a few updates for sure. 

It's still paying good in the current format.

It wasn't even a big nerf really, it's still by far the best cash. Exp was the main thing that got hit because of the metal detector nerf but it's still great exp mind you cause of the 1.5k exp from mailing in sets.

It appears to me that the only people contented or welcoming of the changes to the collector role are those who have already harvested it for all it has to offer, and are now wealthy enough so that the nerf has little effect upon them and therefore essentially eradicating any of the significant issues it would give them if they were not as rich in the game. I, for one, am unbelievably poor and low in the role ranks, and so this comes as as bad news for me given that it was my only means of income.
