What are the main issues with the new update?

[AmyStone]

One small bug I've noticed is that you can't clean your weapons if you're in a posse and are not the leader.

If it was upto me I would nerf the carrying capacity of everything by a huge margin. Like three of each tonics and meats, each. I would also half the number of regular ammo and quarter the special ammo.

I'm not sure how this would improve the game. The number of weapons and ammo you can carry is a huge nerf compared with GTA (where you can carry every gun and piece of ammo you own) and I can't imagine they would nerf it even more.

Not being able to just chug virtually unlimited tonics and cooked meats would improve PvP and PvP as people would not be able to just chug with one hand and fire with the other. A finite number of healing items means people would have to think tactically and use cover.

 

Limited ammo would mean people can't just machine gun their weapons. It also rolls into my above point as well, limited ammo would mean you need to place your shots.

 

Another thing as well is that loads of healing items and ammo makes a vast portion of the game redundant like shops, buying meat and buying ammo etc.

 

Cooked meats make all other healing items useless and are instant with no downsides.

If I was going to change one thing about PvP to improve it then it would be not allowing players to move around and accurately aim when they're using a scope. Someone dancing around randomly in 1st person while spamming bullets at you is one of the least realistic aspects of PvP. If you've scoping then you should have to remain still in order to stand any kind of chance of hitting your target. Scope fights are generally pointless and so unauthentic. When someone starts the scope dance I feel like I've been teleported into Fortnite.

I agree a hundred percent, movement speed when aiming should be reduced by seventy-five percent and a hundred percent when using scoped weapons. If you want to sprint sideways while aiming you should have reduced accuracy (hip fire) and no auto-aim.

XP is frozen again for me.

The game lag like crazy, screen freezes randomly for a second.

On tumblr there was a player that lost their entire character. When they emailed R* they responded back that there are no deletion records in their files, it's as if the character file didn't even exist, so basically that person just lost two years worth of money and progress and all they did was log in for the new pass.

 

This is word of mouth, mind you. But maybe we need to be a little more cautious just in case?

 

On losing outfits, do they disappear from our inventory? Or do we just have to put them back together and save them again?

 

 

Imagine this, loosing 2 years of playing in a videogame, hundreds, maybe thousands of hours of your life tossed to the thrash can... people get crazy because of this kind of things... this is why i am not playing in a while... i dont care about the 10 gold i may loose if i dont complete the pass this week... in the long run i am risking for a far far worse scenario to occurr on me...

Yeah, that is glitch happening, there was a player who apparently lost her character all together...

Anybody else having problems using offers while making purchases?  For the past two days when I've gone into the store or the stable to buy something, I see the button appear to indicate I have offers and to press the L button to access it (I'm on Xbox).  However no matter how many times I press the L button it doesn't work and no offer appears.  I can confirm the L button works when not in a purchase screen (which allows you to crouch or uncrouch).

I have the same problem. Most benefits are gray and unavailable. The offer cue lights up, but I can not make a purchase with the offer.

[Big TIme McGill]

Part of me wonders if this is just lazy coding.  All my old offers are greyed out, which means they are expired, but I suspect that many will come back as I progress through Outlaw Pass 4.  Perhaps they just didn't bother to remove the Offer notification and it will work the next time I try to buy something with a current offer.

 

If this is actually the reason, boy that says something about their current standards...

Yeah they were actually devastated and I don't blame them at all. R* looked through their files and found no record of a deletion in their account, it looks like we might have to start recording our stats and everything that we own with our characters because R* is messing this up badly. I know that if I lose my character I will just stop playing the game at this point, that would be the breaking point for me.

Seems I'm with you, I was really excited to get to play with my family and do these new Bounty missions but now I'm too scared to play. This is the second time I've heard of people losing their characters or their progress because of a mess that R* made, sounds like they need to find a way to backup our characters somewhere that is safer in case this happens again. Because I'll bet it will.

They are the ones that keep breaking their game more and more, haven't been able to fix much of anything, if they even bothered to try, which I doubt at this point. I seriously doubt they will bother doing backups. Why should they. Only thing that will speak to them is a massive protest by the players, ie, stop playing. Words have done ZERO good with R*.

Damm the second time... was the first in this same update or before ? ...

This is the only player I know of that has had this happen to them so far in this update. The last time this was a problem was with the Naturalist update when players were having their progress wiped clean, and their inventory was removed, even their Pass items.

I've just never heard of a player's character just up and disappearing like that, from what was posted they player started the game and went straight to the original beginning as if they had not created a character yet. When R* supposedly looked into it they could not find any evidence that a character slot had been deleted on the account. So could that mean that there was no evidence that the character even existed on their social club account? 

 

It's all very strange.

Luckily most people are only experiencing the loss of saved outfits, but this is just ridiculous.

Anyone else not able to clean weapons because you can’t inspect them?  

[Excalibur Voltaire]

I liked this update because it really shows how out-of-touch and autistic R* is. They're so desperate to cater to their "audience"(kids who want to look edgy while shooting everyone) and I'm glad I'm not that part of "audience"

You might be trying at the wrong place, like places in your camp where you can't (so you move and then can.)

 

OR, you might mean during the new bounties (or it was always that way.) This seems intentional, like they don't think you should

be able to clean them until after. I noticed that, then immediately after the bounty ended I could again.

Yeah, it's the same stupid game design that prevent you from crafting, fishing, etc... when there's a random event nearby

I'm experiencing this bug too.

 

Are posse members' dogs being at camp a thing now?  We currently have 3/3 dogs at our camp

I was in various places around the map, iirc.  I’ll check again tonight.

Word, as it is I throw out most of the stuff R* shovels onto us as giveaways and Outlaw Pass rewards. I like having to maintain supplies of animal fat, scent glands, herbs, meat, etc. and getting a month's supply dumped at once just diminishes the experience for me. I think the game would be a lot more interesting if we could only carry a very limited amount of stuff on our persons, plus a bit more on our horse, with a stockpile at camp rather than three tons of bottles, bullets and bacon in an invisible satchel.

[MadCaz]

How about Rockstar not being ready for all the new players. The lack of server space and the amount of times we get kicked are astounding! And usually during an event, like a trader run.

[MadCaz]

Difficult to join friend's sessions. Get kicked during trader deliveries. Get stuck loading moonshiner missions. Overall unprepared for the increase in players.  Pretty much a lot effort for not much reward.

Discard discard discard. Now you can carry or store as much as you want.

This. So much this.

 

Its not like we are not a stone's throw away from shops or hunting at all times so I don't see why we need to be able to carry all this meat and ammo with upgrades. All PvP/PvE (Me included) devolves into doping ourselves up with tonics and meat and then just playing the game like Fortnite with circle strafing at full sprint.

If it was upto me I would reduce all item carry amounts to three at basic, each upgrade you get another slot to carry one more, ammo reduce by fifty percent, special ammo by seventy-five percent, enemy damage increased by fifty percent, reload speed reduce by fifty percent, movement when aiming by seventy-five percent, scoped aiming by one hundred percent and diving or ducking on a horse would break lock on for NPC's and players and remove PiB markers.

 

Items would also have downsides, eating too much too quickly would make you sick, booze would make you drunk and disable auto aim, tonics would poison you and drain health. Special Ammo would quickly damage your guns, guns with no condition would be unusable.

[jackedbanan]

people here complain about this game not being wild west enough and then talk about introducing autistic gun control measures to a wild west game. I don't think back in the real wild west, outlaws would care much about what condition were their guns at and what ammo they were firing

though I agree about tonics, game mechanics (health stamina dead eye) make it impossible to do something big about tonics. they would have to overhaul the whole thing

Nothing wrong with it for me. It's extra stuff added to a game that I was already enjoying enough to keep playing. The gold nerf won't affect me because I already have more then I'll ever need.

I really don't get how people can have fun with so lame content in a multiplayer lol

I used to be a part of this "audience", but thank god I have better multiplayers on my PC to play and no time to grinding for all eternity for absolute nothing in a sh*t multiplayer like RDO lmao
