what was your rdo wtf moment?

[Rev. Gnash]

About one month ago, I was doing some business, in Rhodes and spotted a pillar of smoke. Rode up to the camp, expecting hostiles and found this guy.

 

 

I guess, he rescued himself and decided to take a break.

[DentureDynamite]

Not a big deal, but I've made a note to self (for next time) to NOT kill the train engineer, then a little while later decide to take on an caravan escort mission. lol

Yep, that tends to create a problem.

Had a similar issue once when another player left the train at the Valentine station blocking all the roads, so I had to hop off the wagon and move it.

Also had to do this for a shine sale through the Emerald intersection, other wagons can go around, but not the shine in those super thin bottles.

That's such a mean trick 

[DentureDynamite]

^^ Yeah, R* should really launch that Caravan Escort mission on the other side of the tracks.

I don't know that it was intentional, people generally just leave things where they are when they're done with them, I do always try to make sure something's not blocking a road if possible.

If someone's on a resupply or whatever that can be time sensitive, it could mean the difference between success and failure.

'Do unto others...' and all that.

[Captain Kyra]

One time I was doing a distant trader delivery out of Great Plains and the route took me across three railway tracks. I arrived at all three crossings just as the train was pulling in and had to wait!

[kcole4001]

============================

 

Also somewhat connected and a bit of a wtf moment, I was doing a shine sale the other day when another player started up the road, so I turned to face the back of the wagon, I always use the aiming auto-steer to drive the wagon.

 

This player must not have understood how that works because next thing I know I hear the sound of a horse being run down, and sure enough he and his horse are down.

It looked like it needed a revive so I jumped off to do that for him, but it was actually a deer carcass he had on board that was still laying in the road.

I waved and he used the 'take note' emote.

 

Since I felt somewhat at fault, I went back a few times with a 3* deer carcass to donate to mend fences, since I assumed correctly that he was heading to the camp which I had seen just north of my shack.

 

Maybe he doesn't have a shine shack and might not know that the wagon will follow the road, and to take a shine wagon off road is a really bad idea, anyway to assume the other guy is going to move for you is generally asking for a collision, I'm sure most players are aware of that, I learned that lesson pretty early on so if possible I'll detour to keep things running smoothly.

Some weird crap happening today:

 

The tables, chairs, and bar were not only invisible, but you could walk right through them, and couldn't interact with any shopkeepers, fence, etc.

 

[ALifeOfMisery]

These low population lobbies are a definite WTF moment for me. I can hardly believe that R* have either done this on purpose or haven't "fixed" them ASAP.

 

They are a real breath of fresh air.

My guess is that there is another issue with the game code and Lobbies are not merging. We could be in luck and R* is gauging the reaction to smaller Lobbies to see if people do actually want IO Lobbies and it's not just a vocal minority.

Cruising out on a long distance trader sale. About a quarter of the way, "trader goods have been destroyed" despite no crashes, enemies, gunfire, and a fully operational wagon still rolling along. I closed the game immediately and everything was fine, but still, wtf?

Had the same thing.

Or perhaps to see if more people are playing longer because of it.

More hours played = good numbers for the shareholder meetings.

 

Also potentially more players are starting/returning to the game, now that it actually WORKS!

It's definitely getting attention on youtube.

I encountered a very WTF bug tonight. I was playing with a friend, though he was not in my posse (he had been earlier). We were both in St. Denis, I was standing somewhere semi-afk, and he gave the begger a quarter. When he did this, it teleported me across the city to the begger and deducted $.25 from me, too. I had given the begger money about ten minutes earlier.

 

I can only guess this is because helping the begger is technically a mission, an "assist a person in need" mission that just sort of instantly completes itself.

Well frontier women were a bit tough and all, looks like she wasn't gonna let a little piece of wood piercing her lungs stop her from winning a few hands at the table.

Uh, I said maybe you need to go to the fence, not bring a fence to the game.

Nope just a few friends alone in a session

Cripps bitching and moaning at me about needing a dog, I get the free Australian Shepherd to shut him up, and he tells me he doesn't like dogs!!!!

[AdamNortonUK]

Today when I went to the butcher table and as it was switching to Cripps a FME invite popped up and nothing happened for about 5-10 seconds then my character appears behind the butcher table and ends up strangling Cripps and I couldn’t do anything as and had quit the game.

Funny though!

[Direwrath]

So we were hunting one of the legendary animals when we got attacked by a cougar (a lot) and my husband's character just completely glitched out.

 

[DentureDynamite]

Haven't been able to duplicate it yet [Edit: Easy to duplicate] There's a 'launch' spot along the mid-inside north fence edge of the Heartland Oil Fields (big building).

 

It flung me about 30-40 feet in the air, but no damage when I landed.

Was rowing some possemates from Rhodes to Blackwater the other day and discovered that while holding X down drained stamina pretty quickly, mashing it drained nothing and was just as fast.

Yeah, plus if you vary from the "moonshiner path" then you take BIG damage on the moonshine. 

 

I thought at first it was because I was "off the road", but even if on the road and you take a different path the damage is big; that is one thing

that irritates me about moonshine deliveries, I guess so you can't avoid revenuer roadblocks?

[fryday]

I was fishing, while a small boat Drives by. Suddenly IT went superfast with the rear end completely under water ( Like its shown in Cartoons) The Driver paniced and jumped Into water. 

[DentureDynamite]

^^ Reminds me of the time an NPC rowed his boat through the set of docks below (clipped right through)--never seen anything like it since:

the other day when i was petting my camp's golden retreiver cripps said "i rather pet a pig", i basically said to the dog "pay cripps no mind you're much cuttier and better trained".

i had this happen to me last night, i went to the saloon in valentine and bought a beer, when i got back on my horse and rode off, an npc driving a covered wagon crashed into me and knocked me off my horse.

(not really a wtf moment though).

 

npc jerk.
