I'd trade or simply discard them (like horses) against nothing at all if it meant we simply get a no ability card lobby or pvp matches without them. No matter how much I spent on them. I rather have em gone.

I like for hunting big animals, you got 2 cougar spawns, black bears, grizzly bears, 1 moose location, elks, 1 eagle sometimes at Manzanita Post, herbs to pick up. I fell a lot of my horse too.

anyone notice this:

The store is closed, also not showing on main menu.

Is only me?? or another bug, not that I'm complaining about being closed, if that is a bug affecting me, then yes.

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.

Feeling with you, showdown series was kinda fun for a while, but it’s limited how long it could continue to be fun.

 

Stranger missions is just the same over and over, our poor 8 story missions is also over for months ago.

Rs need to just release the spring update asap, even we optimistic fans could end up to stop playing it...

they had one good game mode (spoils of war) and they removed it and made it a pain to find.

Yes, not often one find Spoils of War in the small showdowns. When they finaly make a popular mode they make it impossible for us to just enjoy that mode. 

Plunder is not that bad but im kinda tired of all the time i spend on just running lol

Earlier there was improvement on story missions not starting they was usually locked at 1:15, now it's only 0:45. Guess we'll get there someday

In general, the grind to do anything is much more painful in this game than in GTAO. I always felt like I was playing to have fun in GTAO, even if I was grinding.

That feeling is basically gone.

What I feel like now when I'm playing RDRO, is that my girlfriend, my job, my friends, my cat, my music collection, everything --- it's all suffering while I'm playing this POS unfinished online steaming pile of hatred and torture for Rockstar loyalists. The only time I feel like I'm not wasting time is when my friend is lassoing me and hanging me from waterfall cliffs. Or when I'm lighting another player on fire with buckshot incendiary rounds. Caravan escorts are always a breath of fresh air.

But Rockstar is really testing our loyalty and ability to take punishment with this game, more than I've ever seen. Deliberately changing the spawns and the rules and the payouts on a weekly basis, while we're still getting used to everything, it's just --- I don't get the intentional punishment.

 

It's like they don't want us to play the online game.

Let me be very super extra clear about this: I'm not defending Rockstar at all. But maybe, maybe the have been busy with the PSN ID change, since GTA is an old game ported from old gen to current, and no March update either on GTA. I just wanted to mention it.

 

Back on topic, I was in standing still in the forest, someone with a full gold gun appears and start to approach, I shot a warning shot when I look at the TV, was doing something else. The person start shooting me, blew him up and they charge me 4$, why?? he shot first. I'm pissed the game charge me 4$ for defending myself even after a warning shot.

Nah, that's all on Sony, I doubt that Rockstar had to do anything on their end. Besides, it's been known to cause issues with GTA - not serious issues, but I guess there have been some reports of the new ID not displaying properly in certain areas. Not sure, but I plan to try this week and see for myself what happens.

I said I'm not taking any sides at all, what I mean is that maybe people on Rockstar have been busy implementing the PSN ID change on GTA 5, since is a 2013 game ported from old gen (and probably original programmers left, is really hard read and understand other people code, personal experience here unfortunately), hence there was no dlc on March and the new content on Red Dead Online was delayed because of the same reason. Maybe on Rockstar they suck, and it's been very difficult to implement that ID change into GTA. I'm trying to let me get some false(?) hope that was one of the reasons all new content for both games is delayed.

I get ya, but I don't think it works that way. It's more of Sony working out the issues with the way each individual game reads and uses the unique member ID. Most games that were released after the specified date in 2018 were coded differently to be compatible with how the system recognises the unique member IDs; apparently it's always been pretty easy to change names on Xbox because the games weren't ever coded like they were on Sony, whose initial set-up was a bit archaic in comparison - from what I can gather, the information on Xbox was never tied to the original account name itself but perhaps a hidden numerical value that never changes but which allows the actual display name to be more static and flexible in regards to how it works and displays within games and in areas on the platform itself. 

 

I don't have any kind of background in programming, but this is kind of what I've read and understood to be the situation and how it works. As for the game companies though, it's completely out of their hands and all on how Sony's system recognises and reads a user's ID within the specific game(s) that were made before the new changes went into effect. But all of this would fall upon the programmers and technicians at Sony, not the ones who designed and produced the actual original game itself. Hope this makes sense, but it's nothing that Rockstar would be involved with, that I'm almost certain of.

I do have experience programming, quite a lot actually, and sometimes even change the color of a button can be a challenge. Trying to make changes on old code that someone else did, oh man, you don't want that, trust me, more than once I just wrote that part of the code from zero, was easy than making changes to old and hard to understand code. I don't know how all is implemented in Sony, so I was just speculating/guessing.

It makes sense what you said and I read the official article (April 1, 2018 I think is the date you are referring), but I also think that makes sense Rockstar needs to change something, right?

Let me have some hope that we will get more content sooner than later, now the ID change is out, in both games.

Btw, I think this is completely off-topic. Don't mind keep talking about it though.

I think if R* had to do something on their end and put forth a substantial amount of effort and work that would mean that any company who has a game on PSN released before 1 April 2018 would have to go back and do the same. I doubt Sony would go through that kind of hassle and it would have cost them a small fortune, which simply wouldn't have been worth it from a business perspective.

 

I hope we get more content as well (perhaps something that will be game changing and draw me back), but I think it's just them dragging their feet and maybe not being fully prepared when the game was initially released. I dunno really, it's quite disappointing in every regard at this point, but who knows, maybe it will change. I've not given up hope completely; obviously I do care and want things to get better or else I wouldn't be here and so vocal about my criticisms and disappointment, but at the same time, I've just had to lower my expectations and maybe realise that if things do not change then there's really nothing I as one person can do but just consider it a loss and not put so much faith into future R* titles going forward.

 

I do hope for the best though.

Not necessarily, not every game is coded the same way, some are better than others, not the best example, but look how many glitches we had and still are in GTA, that shouldn't suppose to happen, but they do. I'd say that is lack of testing, bad design or something alike (just my opinion), and keep in mind in GTA you have linked you accounts (in the Social Club) to previous gen (X360 and PS3) and you get a few bonus for being a returning player. Now if you change your ID, it could affect that. The negative XP bug started 2 days before Sony started this ID change, maybe just pure coincidence. 

At least on my side, I don't know what is happening for real, all I can do is guess. I can't say either point of view is right or wrong, we don't know a lot of things. Sorry to bring this again, this is off-topic and I get carried away sometimes, like now.

Paint it Black was the way how Dead Eye worked in RDR 1 online. I'm cool with that card, but only that one.

[Chrismads]

I love abillity cards. My only bitch about them is that there's no cool down on slippery so peek-a-boo auto aimers can't turn it on/off all the time.

That includes myself.. i simply just cannot help it

Do you need to use deadeye all the time to activate slippery bastard? It would be expensive to buy snake oil all the time, i would guess so since it is not a passive card... But just want to get it confirmed

I tried out Plunder yesterday, which is a rarity for me. 

 

First round, my team won and I was kicking ass! Foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog for every kill I got... Then I realized it went by how many deliveries the player made.  

Made only ten bucks. 

 

Second round, my team sucked. I don't think they were even trying. So I rage quit. (Feck off, don't judge me. If I can lose in it, I've rage quit it... That goes for ALL games I own.)

 

Third round, it was so close! My team was doing their thing but you know it's bad if I have to hold the team up. Anyway, it was 2-2 and at the last few seconds, the other team made a delivery. Made nine bucks. 

 

Fourth round, only one other person on my team. We both quit the session, feck off with that bullsh*t. 

 

 Which leads me to my rant:

Why isn't their automatic team balancing? A limit of players for each time would be nice. 

STOP PLOPPING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME WITHOUT TEAM MATES! I'M NOT A ONE PERSON ARMY!

To me, I enjoy free roam the most and hunting (and in a way, fishing) gets funnier with time. With Daily Challenges and learning what animals give the best price etc, there’s a sense of accomplishment that I like. I’m a sucker for Gang Hideouts, and looting corpses (treasure map hunting) as well as looting houses and camps and discovering new fruitful locations in that regard.

 

I also enjoy Stranger Missions, particularly with large groups of friends, even being attacked while doing them. I enjoy doing all of this solo as well, and I play on a daily basis. Sometimes there’s action and sometimes just peaceful exploring.

 

But if the next update drops with only a few changes to the Bounty system, and then more Adversary Modes and limited time clothing, even I don’t know for how long I’ll enjoy keeping doing these same activities in free roam...
