Do you know what's crazy? The update is actually amazing in some ways...

[Dourvas]

Before you get your pitchforks out hear me out..

I was extremely critical of the latest update... I was ready to unistall the game  but i thought i should give it a go before doing so...

 

Daily objectives resetting and the new golden bar economy is BS but you know what?

 

The new bounty missions are probably among the best in the game...

 

Do you know how many of those exist???

3? Nah those are the legendary bounties.

10 ? Try again.

20 ? No sir 39....

39 NEW F###[email protected] unique missions some of them with cutscenes, unique dialog, unique circumstances....

 

My question and the reason i am making this topic is this...

 

ROCKSTAR YOU MADE 39 NEW EXTREMELY ENJOYABLE MISSIONS AND YOU DID NOT ADVERTISE THEM???

 

This seriously BLOWS my mind... 

They got all the hate rightfully so but i bet most people (myself included) didn't even know the fact that we had 39 new unique missions.

 

Rockstars marketing and communication department did it again... Try to give the update a chance just for these missions. Believe me its worth it.

Kill the traitor.

 

Seriously though - if true, that’s a major addition to content that is easily worth 15 gold.

Check it out. I had the suspicion that the had a couple of new unique missions but not 3 on every single bounty board.

 

Rockstar could easily advertise the fact that they added 42 ( with the new legendaries ) new and unique bounty Hunter missions....

Fair play. Makes you wonder why they didn't mention any of it though as I'm sure that would have eased some heat they've received, surely. That seems odd.

 

But the game is still broken, the economy borked, the continued lack of freedom, and some dumb sh*t in the pass. Plus as I don't do bounties (only on rank 4 or 5 before I got bored of them), it means little to me so I got little out of this DLC, but that's just a personal preference. 

 

Certainly good news for those that enjoy the bounty hunter role though. Credit where credit is due.

my motivation for play this game gone with the 50% nerf of dailys

[IamCourtney]

Yeah these Infamouseseses are pretty cool, at least for the minority of people who like the Bounty Hunter role, of which I am one. I'm assuming they can be repeated eventually after completion?

 

Also, for those unaware, any bounty can be turned in at any jail, so if the automatic marker is sending you back to where you started, consider bringing them to another town instead so that you can grab a fresh Infamous/$$$ bounty there.

[Dark Spark]

Given what I know, the only reason R* never mentioned these from the start must be because they're supposed to be drip-fed over the next three or four weeks and you're seeing them now because of a bug that makes them immediately available.

 

Soon as R* realizes this, they'll patch them out quicker than you can say "That will require gold to purchase... do you have some?"

You are right, i saw videos and they look good. I was mad by the same as always, horrible bugs after the update... i am in no way risking to loose my 10 outfits that were the cullprit of all the creativity i could reunite, nor i am loosing my time in a broken game because they areare useless... then the lack of new weapons, and slots for everything  thriggers me... i love my horses, i love my weapons, i love my outfits... but i need variety, and i am bored of grinding using the same equitment time and time again... i have three or four sets of clothing, weapons and even horses in my mind, which i want to kick ass with and i cant because well... these douchebags are taking their time... this is great but i expected, no... i needed...a more stable update with more QOL.

Naturalist patch was hell of stable in comparison to this... then they screw it up horridly in a really amateurish way but it all went smooth in the end... that is not the case with this update... if  it were this may be a better patch than naturalist, at least overall.

[Krommer]

 

Yeah, that is why there was a poster of 4 dudes but the bounty only had one dude (which surprised me.)

 

Later, at the same poster, I realized it was putting an X over the dudes I'd already done that way. So then I got that 

it was supposed to be that way.

 

Then, on another one, it surprised me because all 4 of the guys were at Fort Mercer (rather than just one, like some other new ones.)

So I lost one guy...

 

They are kind of different, but I already maxed bounty Hunter easily now (level 30.) Meanwhile, I'm level 22 or so in Wheeler Rawson.

I'm also not sure if doing bounties is the best way to raise Wheeler Rawson by itself? Doing the 9/9 7/7 dailies seems to be a good way to raise it.

So unless you have extra time to do the bounties, long after you easily got bounty hunter level 30, it is kind of a shame.

 

I knew about the payouts thing, but really did not wait around; If it was a minute or two OVER 10, or OVER 5, I'd

wait until it was just UNDER 10 or  just UNDER 5 (so I'd maybe sit with the bounty wagon for a minute or two.)

That seems to be the sweet spot, if you don't want to wait forever (to at least be at/under 5 if possible, or even at/under 10,

probably not worth it to wait longer than a minute or two because you could be doing another bounty sooner.)

 

 

"The last tip: the 3rd part of the Van Horn bounty is agonizing as a solo player. You'll find the 4 targets in the cave complex behind the waterfall near Butcher's Creek, and you'll have to carry each out on your back to your bounty wagon; you'll be right up against the time limit if you are not careful. Good luck!"

 

The best way I've found to do that solo, even with the old ones with two dudes in the cave, is to get the bounty wagon

ahead of time out front and then go in the BACK way (kind of a "secret entrance" and kill everyone fast (even the bounties.)

Otherwise, one might escape out the back (probably even more likely with 4 in the new one.) There is certainly no way you'd

have time to hog tie all four, then bring them out, with none escaping or having enough time. Better to have all 4 dead, in the wagon,

then lose some. That is kind of cool! I'll have to try it now.

This update has literally nothing new.  The missions are the exact same thing in the game.  If you are lucky, you dont have to ride for 5 mins one way to play the missions.  The fix of player bounties by reducing the amount a player can go after is the only decent addition, and of course, this is locked behind a paywall.

 

  Legendary bounties are boring.  The new bounties on the board are filler missions that instead of being able to complete a bounty each time, you have to complete 4 to get a bonus.  The update is repetitive candy crush level content. 

 

Imagine falling for the idea that they added 40 missions to this game because they added cut scenes that dont load half the time you start them. 

 

Legendary bounties lost there appeal week 4 of their original addition...now they are adding 10 more in an alleged major update.  Yet they nerf they only thing that had any variety.  Even if you consider these bounties new, which none of them are, you would need 40 legendary bounties, with actual loot drops or strategy to take the bounty down to make up for the daily nerf. 

 

Yet we get 10 and the first one, you walk in with slow n steady, shotgun everyone including the bounty...ride the train tracks to rhodes and complete in 5 min on the highest diffculty.  Give me a break.  I burned brad pitt with all my flamable moonshine and dynamite on my last and final play through on 5 stars, his body was completely normal in the cut scene.  Most memorable part of playing.

Don't worry! They're only adding two more

I hated BH, but these missions are supposed to be a lot more interesting.

Might be worth doing...if they can make the game work properly again somehow.

 

I'll only get stung not getting paid once,  shine sales black screened and you lost everything when that dropped, and I didn't have anything to do with it until it was verified that it was fixed.

I'm not bothering with broken crap again until it's proven to be working properly.

I admit. The new bounty to hunt is pretty fun.

I am very daft so this post has helped a lot.

I'm happy with the update, it will keep me going until CP.

I Keep finding this out more everyday 

 

I've done the 3 dudes on the $$$ poster for Tumbleweed, the one where it is only one of them then

you have to wait some time before doing the next (quite a bit of time, it seems... )

 

I'm also working on Armadillo, Annesburg, Van Horn and now Rhodes (since got tired of waiting for the others 

 

There have been a couple of cut scenes from them. It is kind of fun.

Yeah, after completing the Tumbleweed one I expected more fanfare/reward but it seemed about the same? 

But then I see it up again now, with the same 3 guys on it again, so yes

So far, I've had no issue with them not completing/paying for me (well except the very first day of the update, where rewards were bugged.)

 

The only thing I still HATE, overall, is that some of them are "Search The Area!!!" I HATE those, with a passion; the same old stuff as old ones, 

where you "focus on the milk jug", then track the guy and "he didn't go this way, focus on some other junk back there!!!"

In fact, thinking about it again just now, this is pretty much the MAIN REASON I quit doing bounty hunter missions before.

 

I'm 30 in bounty hunter, but still getting bounty hunter xp? This seems to keep going, since there is a buckle for it for getting more xp (even after 30? )

Once you earn the full 70% role xp from OP, these may be a nice way to earn that additional gold and money that's alluded to in the letter you get. BTW, does anyone know if you can track post BHLVL30 xp build up?

That's some good news.

 

The search bounties were actually ones I didn't mind, as they worked consistently without bugs.

 

Apparently after level 30 you can trade in role XP once you reach another 10,000. You get 0.5 gold per trade in.

If you enjoy the new missions and would do them anyway, that could be considered a decent extra perk.

If that's one's only reason to continue doing bounties, then it's a miserable payout.

[StyxTx]

But this is not an "expansion" of the role as promised long ago. It's just more of the same, unless this is their idea of expansion.

[HipHopHead]

I was soloing one where I had to get 2 bounties at once in Thieves Landing.  I had to wait for them to show up and when they did I started shooting their posse.  Holy crap everyone in Thieves Landing started shooting at me and they were infinitely spawning, so many that I was getting killed in seconds.  I ended up killing both bounties just so they wouldn't escape but even then I couldn't even pick even one of them up before being gunned down.  Obviously letting rounds off in there was a bad idea. lol

 

I just ended up finding a new session.

[Rev. Gnash]

So, reached rank 30 and played a handful of the new bounties and a few oldie but goodies. I found the experience to be enjoyable; the Cultist and the Resurrectionist are entertaining as hell.

 

This update had potential. Communication rules the nation - Rockstar didn't market this well.

I think the addition of fast travel to the wilderness camp is the biggest deal of all of it, with additional shotgun ammo second (and probably the ability to cook 3 meats at once, though I can't since I never got that reward because it's still glitched).

 Having a fast travel available (almost) anywhere is a real time saver.

They fixed antique alcohol bottles not taking the one you "use!"

 

At least when I used a Tennessee Whisky, listed fourth in my list, it actually USED the Tennessee whisky!!!

(as opposed to any of the 3 listed before it.)

 

Stealth fix? Or just a fluke?

I can confirm consumption of some London Dry Gin despite Caribbean Rum being first on the list.

That's what an expansion is. More of the same. It's not an extension.

The only profession I dislike more than bounty hunting is moonshining--and I also find those "search" bounties particularly annoying. I quickly leveled up to 30 just to get it out of the way. 

 

At least with moonshining, I can do some of those dailies super easy (like change decor or destroy roadblocks). The bounty hunter dailies I typically don't bother with, at least for now.
