The Red Dead Online B*tch & Moan Thread

[4eyedcoupe]

I haven't signed into RDO on either account since 4/6 & 4/7.  No desire too any more sadly.  Any one else picking up Days Gone next week?

 

[Dr.Rosenthal]

Did the three Showdown matches last night as part of the Daily Challenges.

 

Me and my two posse members joined as a posse, ended up on the same team. Until the teams locked in and the game jumbles everything around and we all go separate ways. f*ck this game.

 

What’s the point of playing with friends when the game puts us on different f*cking teams?? I’d definitely play more of Showdown if I knew we could cooperate. When a match throws us all in different teams, what’s the point of even trying..??

[Tez2]

[Jason]

If people b*tching at each other and fighting is going to become a daily occurrence in this thread then don't be surprised if it ends up being temporarily locked, giving you no where to b*tch and moan about the game.

 

B&M about the game, not each other.

 

 

[TheExclusiveMan]

The griefing in this game is worse than gtao. A huge posse is always ganging up on me when im looting or hunting. 

Not playing this until the spring update arrives,  I just hate pvp and rockstar encourages it

[Raylan Givens]

Not really a B&M...more of a "huh". Played a Large Showdown of Hostile Territory on Rhodes and it was way more epic than usual. Basically orange vs purple (save the 1 lonely soul on blue). Then when the match ended... I realized why. We were the only two teams with people. 

 

Didn't we get an update specifically for matchmaking? lol

No surprise. 2 teams is way more fun than 5-6 teams.

f*ck, that hurts even looking at it.

 

Would restoration even be possible?

Hah well the old Notre dame turned out to be a lot more reliable that Rockstar all that smoke and fire and it barely scratched it other than cleaning the wooden roof off which needed fixing anyway.

My only regret is that I have only one "" to give.

today i did a couple of rounds of spoils of war, after that i went into free roam and did some hunting and i took my kills to tumbleweed and sold them and bought ammo at the nearby gun store.

when i tried to get on my horse a griefer blew my head off, i went into parley with the griefer and i ended up at the ranch near tumbleweed and i killed some chickens, when i started to skin thhe chickens the same griefer got out of parley and killed me again (i once again went into parley with him.

r*'s idea of mixing lobby types was a bad idea.

I think you shouldn't see dots at all if you're in a posse.

The Spring Update sounds promising. However, I'll be surprised if we get solo lobbies in the future. It appears as if Rockstar is hellbent on making this mixed lobby work for everyone. That includes Autoaimers and Freeaimers along with solo and cooperative players. One lobby for everyone seems to be the goal. This may be the future for GTA as well.

I gotta admit... cash payout bonus + SoW this week is looking good. This will be my money go-to this week.

As of now nothing looks promising except more pvp AM’s.  As far as lobby types go I have no faith in that either as the progression of online content from gta4, to rdr1, to gta5  was from nil to wow at the launch of each, now almost 6 months in to RDR2 and we have nothing but pvp bs with some clothes thrown in. I can read the future of RDRo and if it keeps going like this I’m not in it.

If you're good at PvP you can make money....

People like me, no chance

 

PvE needs an event

Or 1.5x Butcher payout

Not entirely true. You just need one person on your team to have Slippery Bastard. 99% of players in pvp modes can’t free aim for sh*t. $50 outlay equals guaranteed bag delivery, then you just defend it.

Easy money.

I hate how Online did away with the hair cutting mechanic from singleplayer. I can maybe understand them removing it for headhair because there’s far more styles available online, but I can’t see any reason to remove the facial hair shaving aspect. All the... bones used for the male faces have the same base, so any facial hair should copy right over. It already does with the preset styles. 

 

The only reason I can think of is because the Online characters don’t sleep, so there’s no time period for the game to load in the next stage of growth. But even I can come up with a few ways to get around that. Simplest would be to simply add a stage every time you log back on. That way players would only have to do it once a play session, and they could easily cheese it by repeatedly logging on and off to get the length they want for the style they’re after. Barring that, they could also auto-add a stage of growth for every 24 hours in real time. So if you go offline for a few days and come back on, your character would have the equivalent level of growth for when you were gone. The most realistic would be to add a stage of growth every realtime week, say on Tuesdays when they do the usual updates. So it would take 10 real weeks to get a max beard. Giving players a real sense of Pride & Accomplishment (tm) for having a max beard or max-length style. 

 

There’s no way they cut it because they were worried about players complaining about having to pay money to shave it every time they got on. We end up having to pay upwards of $5 every 30 IRL minutes to pay for our stables’ upkeep and to pay Cripps to be worthless. They should’ve been tripping over themselves at the idea of players paying a shilling to shave every time they log on. At least that would have a tangible effect in the game, and would be entirely optional for players. Unlike the bloody stables and Cripps. That freeloading arse. I’d much rather pay to shave than pay for a camp I literally never use.

Wow, that is some new level of complaint.

Seriously, hair grow was such a pain in the ass in SP. At least one thing they have done right for RDO.

Let me be clear: I'm not great at PvP.  I assure you. I can go middle-of-the-road most times, occasional good game, lots of stinkers. I prefer PvE by far (hunting mostly, but stranger missions too).

 

But with SoW, even on the losing team (it went to OT), I was getting like $17+. I don't think any of the team-based showdowns pay that much to the non-winning teams. I could be mistaken though.

 

But yeah, I just wanted to be clear that I lose PLENTY of gunfights in PvP. lol

[Ronin Ogami]

WHERE is my Bone Knife, R* ? It's been almost TWO months since PS players got it, what about us Xbox players? Are we not supporting you too?

[afriendlyreddot]

Online still a filthy casual butt cheek fest with players ooddling their magic the gathering cards?? Fine I'll go back to my hole..

Not even close, both games are worlds apart. Majority of people dont attack at first sight.

 

 

That said, played Conan Exiles (garbage game btw) and i saw this:

 

 

Even this trash game has PvE servers, why the f*ck RDO doesnt? People with each respective game style would enjoy it more...

Garbage in some ways, some cool ideas but a poor graphics engine. The player movement doesn't feel real. Attacks are limit to the single silly animation that don't land right. And they took out the nudity for consoles, which is stupid. These kids today see more than I ever did growing up in the 60s and 70s lol. (Not to mention the stuff in GTAO, far worse stuff than nudity.)

If I try to join to a showdown, my screen stays black for 10 minutes. So tough luck on making money that way. 

 

The last time I logged on to gta, I got a million cash gifted by Rockstar with the class action suit bonus. One million $ in gta will buy you a cup of coffee online nowadays, but the gesture is there. 

 

I lost gold because the dailies did not work. Can Rockstar at least give a gold bar or $50? That would be a good thing.

There's nudity on console. Maybe not official, but who got time for that anyway.

I think the combat system is great. Loads of different weapons and you can combine heavy and light attacks to make awesome combos for different situations.

 

That's just my opinion, but one thing is a fact; there's hell of alot more playtime in Conan Exiles than the current garbage that is RDO
