Time limits is the most disappointing thing about RDO.

I understand, I also understand that "Spawn "Object X" near player" is perhaps one of the most simple scripts you can activate. There is no valid reason why it needs two entire minutes between spawns apart from to annoy the player. There is no way that the game can have two entire minutes of scripts attached to the player.

When you consider what other scripts are activating in the environment around you, then you might understand.

That kinda goes out of the window when I can gather the entire Lobby and have everyone summon their Wagon at the same time/one after the other and the queue does not get bogged down.

So you can get over 25 people in one area without them killing each other? I bet you the queue does bog down. You look at how long it takes their wagons to spawn, they are not instantaneous spawns.

I hope that's a rhetorical question.

You are missing the point. Even with twenty-five people it would not take two entire minutes to spawn all the wagons. You may have a point, it may have something to do with memory issues but it should not take two entire minutes. Thats my point.

Nothing against the OP but when I look at that title now I chuckle a little. Maybe it was at the time but how things have changed since 11/19.

wow, you wrote half a novel, trying to be proven right somehow, and I will never bother to even read it because I know I'm right

it's a giant waste of money for idiots, who then go online and complain about the missions not paying out enough

@fuzzyballs01  YOU ARE A COMPLETE JACKASS.   YES, I am calling you a jackass.  You have acted like one from the very first post you put on this forum.  Why don't you start treating people the way you would like to be treated and maybe things in life will go a little better for you.  You have done nothing but call people names since you have joined and acted like a 12 year old child.  You behavior isn't even excusable for a 12 year old.  Maybe you need a timeout little boy.

trollynuts is just trying to stir up crap.

 

I had started to think it might be the reincarnation of Blasterman, but no...too salty and bitter even for the Blaster.

At least he (Blasterman) had some valid points and didn't just stomp around being generally obnoxious.

on topic:

And yes, time limits are still one of the most immersion breaking and annoying 'features' of greedstar games.

One of the best features of missions like telegram jobs are the lack of timer, it's refreshing not  to have to watch the clock.

Except they still do have a timer attached, the cooldown is the timer.

[fuzzyballs01]

hah

"the cooldown is the timer" no it's not

timers are there to make sure you can actual fail something by running out of time, it makes sense

and they even fixed timer abuse by making rewards go up to a point, then go back down, so standing next to a sherrif's office for 10 minutes will cost you both time and money

Yeah, there is that, but like all respawn (lootables, collectibles, plants, LA, etc.) timers in the game they're at least less intrusive.

I think the two minutes are there because of “balance”.

Exactly, its not a system limitation. Its just R* f*cking players over and treating this game like its a mobile game.

I've never complained about missions not paying enough, since I make great use of the Hunting Wagon to make money (which is the best investment ever!!!) 

 

I forgot all about how great the Hunting Wagon was for fishing Pike, before they added as many ways to make money and the animal spawns were often broken (except fish.) It was worth it back then to throw five pike in it, then sell

them as close as possible; I've paid for that puppy many times over! When I'm VERY lazy, I still fish for 5 sturgeon by Blackwater with the Hunting Wagon and drive it down the street to the Butcher.

 

I've never noticed the Hunting Wagon cooldown limitation, since I'm always doing something for at least 2 minutes or more before summoning it again.

I could see how it might bother people, though.
