Why does dead npc stay longer than dead animals?

Its simple, If it has anything to do with players enjoying the game R* will close it down strait away, Same for anything that stops then taking money of players IE dollars or gold then they will address it immediately.

 

 If it a simple bug like butchers, Strangers, story mission etc that puts dollars our way then R* interest in fixing it is f*ck you Players 

 

Some of you guys need to get a f*cking grip, like seriously I get it, bugs suck and it's frustrating dealing with them. The bottom line is we have no idea what is involved with these fixes and while it annoys you that they they seem to fix the issues you deem to be beneficial to the players with quickness while leaving stuff like mission not working and disconnects, the fact is those issues could very well just be that easy to fix compared to the more disruptive issues.

 

It bothers me as well so don't act like I'm trying to defend R*, but you're literally talking out of your ass and acting like a baby with posts like these. "if it's a simple fix like X" no dude, it might not be a simple fix, and while T2 might be willing to bleed you and me dry, the people actually working on the game likely want you to just enjoy it.

 

Sound like a damn conspiracy theorist with this constant nonsense.

Some people can be such jackasses for no reason AT ALL.

 

Met some guy playing a Story Mission. He sends a Friend Invite. Cool. I ask if he plays Free Aim. Only reason was because I do and if he doesn't, you know, fair warning I might be slower at some things so bear with me but I can definitely hang in the Free Mode and Story Missions environments.

 

This dude says "Only idiots use Free Aim that's f*cking retarded"

 

Uh...huh.  I say that I do and since he sent me a Friend Request I figure I would just let him know I use Free Aim and...

 

"I don't give a f*ck if you even add me"

 

Ok then.

 

WHY? Just why? At no point was I rude, I was definitely going to add the guy since I don't have anyone to play with these days but nope just another stupidly angry player talking trash to someone else for nothing. Just to be a dick.

Maybe that player was dreaming to play this game with Free Aim but came out to be mad at R* how they managed this whole shooting mechanic?

 

I myself love to play with free aim, but in case with RDR2/O it is always floating camera and reticle separately + weird camera accelerations and the same session for both free and auto aim players. So yeah, I could be mad and say that free aim in this game is for retarded.

Srly, the game designed to be with auto aim, free aim in this one is the worst ever made in video games industry.

[Labovasha]

I think Rockstar anticipated that some people would want to play free aim and they see "slippery bastard" as the solution so I doubt they are even going to bother giving lobby options. They only listen to feedback in the sense that they will use it to find avenues that will quiet things down the most. Rockstar laid their cards al out when GTAO started to get its updates. Just look at the mission updates.

At first you could play any contact mission you wanted and play back to back. 

They disabled there play button and forced the players to go through several load screens to replay missions.

Then they  reduced payouts

Then after the heist update came out and people realized how borderline unplayable the gamemode  was with public matchmaking, the new missions started to have the 2 player minimum with heist rule sets.

Now RDO comes right out of the gate with no replay buttons, a wait timer between manually selected missions, and every single mission requires more than one person, instant mission failures for running out of lives and reduced rewards for dying on missions. They have no plans of making that mode bearable because they don't give a sh*t.

 

People don't like to here it but they just legitimately do not care. They are going to stay on the road map they planned out and no amount of community feedback is going to change that.You complain about the lack of free aim they are just going to encourage you to use slippery bastard because they want you playing with the default aim. You complain about griefers, they are just going to make adjustments to how players damage or spot each other because they want players shooting each other. You complain about a price being too high, they are going to hike up the price of something else because they want you spending a lot.

Very true. I have a feeling that Feedback is just placebo effect.

The floor doesn't find humans tasty enough to eat; it feeds off frustration and stress which makes our dead animals much yummier. 

[Shadowfennekin]

I'm not going to take credit for somebody else's math so here

 

Quite ridiculous that they keep going over the "30 day exclusive" marking.... heck PS has another "exclusive" now and us Xbox players still don't have the new stuff.

I don't even care for any of it apart from the knife, it's the principle of the matter!

 

Multi-platform games should NOT have exclusives, it's just a f*cking stupid thing to do. Just like the Epic store

Truth be told, there is a lot of substance to it though. A money glitch gets patched within days or weeks, we’re still 4-5 months into this ”beta” and my Horse Bonding still resets. How hard could that be to fix?

 

50% of Stranger Missions just say ”Accept” in greyed out text even though the symbol says they’re available. Of the 50% that actually have a mission, half won’t start when you start them. Almost 5 (!) months into the beta. Sh*t like this should work right outta the box ffs.

 

They’re clearly very selective about what to fix, how to fix it and with what urgency. And with all the feedback they’ve got through their site and from places such as this and social media - they still blatantly just ignore so much of it. But yeah, they’re ”interested in what the fans want” (just as long as it suits T2’s business model).

 

Bottom line, it’s not meant to create the best possible gaming experience, it’s made to make the most possible profit.

Honestly, if I met a guy who walked around blindfolded, I’d ask him ”Are you blind?”, and he’d go ”No, I see perfectly well but I walk around with this anyway.”, I’d say ”Well, then you must be retarded.”

 

Free aim in R* games is sh*t compared to other games, I use auto aim because the game is created for auto aim play, I don’t want to fight against the game, I want to enjoy playing it.

 

And let’s not start that whole ”free aim superiority”-bullsh*t because that’s just silly.

 

But I agree that he could have expressed himself a bit more kindly.

As people have mentioned above, when I first started the game, I noticed the ability cards and was thinking that it may be interesting. I then had a look at the cards itself and as soon as i saw that perk which enables free aim when dead eye is in use, I knew that they weren't planning on adding a free aim mode at all.

 

My Understanding is that they most likely want to group all players into the same matchmaking (first red dead had friendly free mode, casual free mode and casual matches, Hardcore free mode (maybe hardcore gamemodes as well?), Poker and Liars Dice (which required DLC), Other gamemodes (Which required DLC), Undead Nightmare survival (which required DLC). It's probably  less costly just grouping everyone together. Hell they started showing signs with Next gen gta V when they implemented "Assisted Free Aim" with free aim. Having any sort of lock on is auto aim whether it may be weak or strong. 

 

However, this doesn't really appease free aim players and while they probably makes up less of the playerbase, it still is annoying for them.

There is a mission where you collect bags in freemode and that's still bugged for me and others as well. When you initiate grabbing the bag, it drops it almost straight away. (Only seems to affect players that haven't initiated the activity themselves)

 

yea the games are generally made for auto aim, however having that option for free aim is something they had in past games. I used to play GTA 4 with free aim as well as RDR all the time. Reason being is that i found it to be more fun then playing with Autoaim on. Freeaim isn't really superior to autoaim and vice versa because it's just a style of playing imo. None of the R* games are built for e sports or anything so no real competitive vibe there.

 

However, In terms of RDR2, the movement in this game feels quite different from the first Red dead and feels a lot slower so maybe free aim wouldn't really mix as well but it wouldn't be that hard for Rockstar to make seperate free aim and auto aim matchmaking.

[Dr.Rosenthal]

@The FoolYT Completely agree. I think there should be separate lobbies for aiming preferences, but like you said it seems R* want to lump us all together. And the way the game is made (and with how ill-suited the free aim controls are, at least in my opinion, compared to other free aim games) it’s clear that auto aim is the intended way of playing.

I'm out of tha dentist cabinet, gon enjoy my red dead online beta now. With that numb lip i really feel into character, just need mah spit bucket. You hear me R ?! add that sh*t asap

Can we just start raising hell now? 

There are more and more reasons to start a sh*t storm for R*.

No it was definitely just someone being an idiot. He had more to say about totally unrelated things and seemed to generally just want to crap on people and had 0 to do with aiming preference.

I can't be bothered to rank up anymore lmao. Just hit 95 yesterday and I'm way past burnt out from showdowns and stranger missions. Even dailies don't seem to do it for me anymore.

 

Ah, truly nothing left for me to do in this game anymore.

[BUT THE BENZ]

^dude I don't know HOW I made it to rank 80....my best guess: the scenery....and maybe the ecstasy opf gold (treasure maps)

unlocking a few coats down the road, was kind of a goal....but ever since the marshall coat I don't think I'll ever need another.

but yeah, after rank 100....with no unlocks...and glitched out hideouts, it is kind of over!

There's probably some mail left to be delivered, but whether or not the bags actually appear is a different story. Seriously though, before I put this game on my dusty virtual shelf, the mail delivery missions seemed to come up just a little too often. Now why in the hell would I want to RP as a postal carrier? I have relatives who actually do that job for a living and all they ever do is bitch about it.

 

Perhaps they're not as bad as the Post OP MC delivery sales from GTAO, but I do have to wonder: if R* eventually adds business endeavours in this game that we will be able to purchase and profit from, will LJT's great-grandfather constantly spam us with Western Union telegrams about how we need to refill the gunpowder factory? I shudder to think of what they could do to irritate the f*ck out of everyone even more than they already have.  

 

Really though, the stranger missions in this game, if they actually load up and work properly, aren't that great or diverse overall. I especially cringe at the ones that involve assassinating other players. It's not even the forced PvP element that makes them so bad, but even if I wanted to try and partake, I'll easily run out of time trying to catch up to the person in question, who obviously sees the alert that they're being targeted and is either running away full speed with a huge lead or juicing tonics and preparing to be a slippery bastard. And they give you what, 3 or is it 4 minutes max to complete it? I don't know if it's changed since one of the updates, but it's just really poor game design and almost as if they haven't any original ideas left at all.

 

I don't know how you made it this long, lol! I'm sure that if I ever play again, I'll be the lowly rank 56, 57, or whatever I actually am in a sea full of level 200+ players. I honestly can't really imagine, but I guess god help me if I subject myself to it again in the future and god bless them for having that much patience, determination, and endurance to withstand this much torture, because I for one certainly do not, cannot, and will not!

I guess the scenery just kept me hooked and a desire to fill up my wardrobe with swanky attire lol. It's packed now though and all my guns are fully maxed out. Horse is in tip top shape too I really don't know what else to save up for

 Showdown would be a LOT more fun, if they allowed you to choose the game mode lobby you want to go into.
