WARNING: WILD LEGENDARY BEARS SEEN ROAMING THE RIVERSIDES (September 22nd)

[yeezy203]

For those who've encountered it. Is the bear really that fast and ferocious? Someone said you need 2 people to take it down. Just want to be prepared if I come across it will take my bravest horse.

[Rev. Gnash]

The Ridgeback Bear, must be wearing ninja shoes. I was looking at an American Black Bear, stand up on its hind legs and scratch its ass on a tree.

 

Me: Well, that's new.

Ridgeback: Surprise motherf*cker

*crunch*

[Non Funkable Token]

^lol

 

I got it too. There was a lone camp marked with the yellow "?" with a couple dead men, then examined one of the bodies and the bear spawned behind some bushes. It didn't attack that fast, tho. I had time to mount and shoot it while getting away.

Yeah, those 3 seem odd, since I got them for the first time. I moved my shack to Tall Trees and I get the Snow Buck, Wakpa Boar and Midnight Paw Coyote quite often. Maybe it's something to do with all the sales I run that go past any through their territories? I get the Midnight Paw Coyote almost every time I do a moonshine sale to the place near Strawberry stable.

 

Tall Trees is high traffic area, and trader sells and moonshine sells sure act as triggers, same as fast travelling to Manzanita.

If you are with friends or other players in the area, cooldowns don't apply. Ending a trader sell in Riggs Station 99% spawns the Midnight Paw to our group of 4-5 players, same as going through there.

I have kept a list of times I spawn something and 72 hours applies quite strickly, with maybe 2 or 3 exceptions ever.              One time I spawned Wakpa 3 times in a day. Had gotten it earlier in the day alone, then it spawned on a trader sell to our group, and later I was idling for a long time at Manzanita and it spawned again. Sort of force spawned it.

Well, based on the ratings of players I see in lobbies, including the big ones, and even on the PS4 version which has been out a year longer than PC, a huge majority of players are below 100 which shows a pretty hefty turnover rate among players. Maybe they are just happy with the income from new players and don't really care about the long timers who don't spend as much real money in the game. Who knows.

I used to play around 10 hours per day since release but the last month or so it's dropped to 1-2, basically for dailies. I've gotten interested in my sports games again to the point it's turning into a chore to spend even a couple hours in this game. I almost have to force myself to turn it on. I reckon it won't be to long before I say hell with it until some major content additions come along.

Trust me when I say you will feel great when you quit your daily streak. Do not force yourself to play for the gold. I did and could not be happier when I quit the streak, its actually quite an insidious game mechanic.

 

In any case I've already un-installed the game a few weeks after the herbalist update. I saw the writing on the wall and bailed. RDO is not what I had expected it to be after two years, so much potential just being wasted with these shallow roles.

 

There is only one thing that will bring me back and that is a RDR remaster. An online only Mexico would not interest me because it just means more of the same in a similar environment.

I'm really interested in playing the original RDR but as of now I can only stream it on PS4. I'm not into the streaming thing.

Be a lot more fun and way more realistic of how the west was. This stuff they're adding lately is flat out boring.

What the heck?  I spawned in to do the new bear mission. Went to Harriet and I only have 3 (old) missions to pick from when I would usually have the new LA listed as a 4th mission upon first login when a new animal is released. What am I missing?

It's not here?

 

They release the animals first THEN the mission at a later point

The dripfeed f*cking sucks

I guess I assumed one would be a mission and one a random spawn like the last couple.  I guess they are both random this week?  I have no patience for this...

Yep!

They only did all with the goat last week cause that was the PS exclusive content

They released new sighting missions with the Buck and Coyote the 2 weeks before that too.  No consistency.

No, the coyote mission was three weeks later than the FR coyotes and the buck... IDK how long that was since the FR ones

 

Only the goats got released in bulk

I think they toned her down:

 

She sprayed me when I had to turn in  5 samples, the other day, but I'd been more or less killing animals non stop for days.

She only gave me a warning at a point before that, "I know what you've been up to..." or something.

 

I think after she sprays you, it takes some time before you kill enough for her to spray you again?

I miss the glitch where you could continually emote your way out of it, with her gradually warming to you =/

PlayStation Now is garbage, I was hoping Sony would scrap it for next gen.

Wow! A reward for a free hat, that's awesome!!

Taking a break from this game until the next dlc. This drip feed is just tedious.

I did the same. Quit the streak on purpose so I didn’t have a reason to log in. Literally forced myself through the naturalist update. So tedious. This game took a wrong turn. I’ve already got more money and gold than I know what to do with. With next gen round the corner there’s too many other great gaming experiences coming up for me to invest anymore time in this. Shame as it could have been brilliant. I can’t ever see them doing heists or anything either. They’ll be focusing on GTAO next gen. No hint of a RDR2 remaster for next gen either.

Also bounty hunters next step would be to become lawmen.

That defeats the purpose of being a bounty hunter. You become a lawman, say goodbye to getting the bounty. You're restricted under the law for trying to collect the bounties on fugitives.

I guess R* figures that would be the next logical step. Let's see how they do it. They're the ones who discussed role progression a long time ago when roles first came out. Besides, R* takes liberties with "laws" and other things as it is now. Let's face it, when you have a bounty or the law is after you, the law or gang members didn't have radios to contact people out in the field but somehow they always know where you are even if you take your own route, not the one shown on the map. So using the logic that they all have a magic power to zero in on you, I'm sure R* will come up with some off the wall thing for lawmen.

^^ Yeah, wanted levels are highly inconsistent and buggy... I've had times where the law is breathing down my neck, and then five seconds later, they're clueless as to where I am and start wandering off for in-game miles, while your "red glow circle" stays put. Total nonsense.

 

Getting ~15 lawmen chasing after you with terminator accuracy is sheer stupidity, and taxes normal NPC/animal spawns. It likely was R*'s response to the early days of constant griefing, but I think most of those days are past us now.

 

BTW, nice to have met you at Cumberland Forest last night!

Likewise. I hoped you'd notice it was me before shooting. lol

well, I killed it on my own. it went down after 5 or 6 shots?! it was the legendary OWIZA bear, it spawned "randomly", didn't start a mission at harriet.

situation: I ran into the bear near wallace station, really at the riverside...it was having a drink and didn't see me at first so I had a free shot. then it turned around, really close to me and I guess "tried" to attack me but couldn't/wouldn't. there were stones and I quickly got onto one. apparently it was high enough though it seemed really low and easy for the bear to climb. end of story: it didn't - and thus was easy prey!

I used the same thing to kill the other one!

I killed it solo as well. Spawned into camp and it was nearby after a short travel. Caught it drinking and also got a few free shots in. Was on horseback and was able to shoot it while running away. It was fast but I was able to dodge him by riding in circles even after one time it got really close my horse didn't buck me (gypsy cob.) Looking for the Ridgeback now can't find it after a few days.
