The Red Dead Online B*tch & Moan Thread

[volta2001]

I’m stuck at 76% for story missions. I’m missing 3 low honor ones and I have low honor. Any advice?

Leveling is soooooo sloooooow

A "cancel action" button would be very welcome. Got hit by a train while skinning an animal right next to the tracks. I noticed the train too late, but Stupid kept on skinning where every other normal person would get the hell away from the track (okay, or wouldn't skin there at all). Stupid stayed, Stupid skinned, Stupid died, Stupid respawned empty handed. Had we have a "cancel action" button, Stupid would have been empty handed alive. 

 

Another gripe; can we at least NOT drop dead when falling off a 6ft ledge? It's really not that high. Why, while horses stop dead at a higher ledge, do we keep walking a few extra steps and just walk off the same ledge a horse stops for, and drop to our untimely deaths? Are our characters really that stupid? I dropped off a cliff, onto a lower ledge, survived this fall, turned around to climb back up, but Stupid took a few steps forward first, turned around and dropped again; dead.

 

And my horse is stupid too. Jumped over fence #1, fence #2 and then smacked into fence #3, toppled over and had to be revived.

why the f*ck does the small game arrow pamphlet cost $350?

 

why should i fork out $300+ on arrows that are smaller than regular ones

There aren't enough valuable animals that need them too. A dangerous, poisonous snake, that needs one of these handcrafted arrows to kill - that only gets you 2.50$. A rabbit, that only needs a Varmint Rifle bullet - that's 4.00$. Edit: Might be 3.50$ actually, I'm getting mixed up with Muskrats. Still more than the snake, which makes no sense at all.

There's actually quite a few animals you can't kill for a perfect carcass without small game arrows. Squirrels, Chipmunks, Bats, Rats, Crows, and a wide variety of tiny birds.

True, but a rabbit is worth more than all of them as far as I know, and they're all over the place, don't need ammo crafted etc.

 

Most valuable creature that needs them I know of is the California Quail, at 2.75$ for a perfect carcass. That's not bad, and I get those whenever I see them. But there's not many around, and they're the odd animal out.

 

Edit: You'd think the tiny little birds would get a lot. Difficult targets, need to be hit with an arrow too. But they're only 1$.

If you press "X" on XBox or "Square" on PS, your horses jump over fences more easily...Just a tip

How does peak condition work exactly? Does stamina have to be completely full for it to work?

[Grichka Bogdanoff]

The game has gotten painfully boring and tedious now that the only activities I can do are Make it count (that I don't even like at all, f*ck brs) and overrun. When are they going to fix showdowns' matchmaking? Are they ever going to do it? It's been two weeks, c'mon.

I agree, I was suprised Robin feathers only sell for 0.30$. Atleast, I think they do.

According to the latest patch notes, PC is only active while below 100% and above 75%.

But @ALifeOfMisery posted a video of him on a horseback with 100% stam, obviously, where the card did show as active in the right top cornor.

Very old news at this point, but ...yeah, the character creation system is fundamentally flawed. It takes two (IMO) contradictory approaches to custom character models, and mashes them together in the worst possible way - lemme explain:

 

In something like the older Mass Effects, aside from the default male Shepard (based on a real-life person), all the custom characters used a shared base model, with interchangeable facial features (and room to fine-tune those). All the 'presets' were just examples of characters made by using different combinations of eyes/nose/chin/skin tone/etc. from that same basic 'suite'. Same for things like Saints Row, (IIRC) Monster Hunter: World, etc. - so in theory, you can start with one preset, and then toggle every feature manually until you wind up creating one of the other presets, because they all use the same assets.

 

Then you have things like Mass Effect Andromeda, where all the preset faces are scans of actual people. There's room to tweak sliders, of course - but because all the default values and settings for each preset are unique (i.e. not shared across all of them), you can't make one look like another, and so whichever base face you start with will have some effect on how your character will look. In other words, presets in SR2 or ME2 are just suggested starting points - in Andromeda, they're different and distinct foundations altogether. The trade-off with Andromeda is that while realistic base settings are more limiting, you can get a more photorealistic character that way, more than you might with a hand-sculpted custom character.

 

 

Meanwhile, R*'s approach to both GTAO and RDO? Unique presets like Andromeda, but without being face-scanned from real people. It's not so bad in GTAO, where the presets have realistic proportions, and are generic enough to work as a foundation for something more unique - but in RDO, pretty much every preset is an exaggerated caricature. In other words, GTAO feels like a merger of the approaches of ME2 and MEA, giving you unique presets that work fine as-is, but with room to deviate from that base and make something original that still looks good. RDO achieves the opposite - the presets largely look weird as heck, and also lack enough freedom to really get away from their influence, and so the best you can do is offset the damage of whatever you start out with. Particularly when you've got certain NPCs in the game (particularly the ones from RDR2 single-player) who look more photorealistic - it's really weird to have some flat-faced cartoon character with a massive, boxy head interacting with actual human beings...

Can anyone remember a newsfeed about Rockstar employees being forced to work overtime to get RDR2 out in time? Well, I guess they are now compensating. Disconnect, disconnect, disconnect....

Yeah, really puts me off.

I want to get the explosive arrows but.... such a drag compared to GTA, where even at 950 I can level up within one-two hours doing what I want, not PvP sh*t

[-LN-]

I'm still enjoying this game, but it's starting to sour my mood today. First, I try to finish up the dailies from yesterday and when trying to connect to Showdown, I get the infinite black loading screen four times in a row, which requires me to close and reload the entire applications each time. Then I see today's list and it has one (Multiple player kills in 5 seconds in posse versus) that I can't even be arsed to try and set up. I then go to look for the sheep to skin, but someone is constantly battling lawmen and turning Valentine into a war zone where they spawn, so I keep having to change lobbies because they're already dead and won't respawn. I finally get it completed, only to accidentally run over a fleeing NPC and rack up a bounty and wanted level. I escape and then travel to the river for steelhead or salmon fishing to make the succulent fish. I have one on the reel and what happens next...

 

 

Ugh, I think I just need a night off from playing; all of these things are starting to add up and it's really just grating on my nerves like nothing else.

Had real problems this morn, strangers not giving out mission and when they do instant failure due to my non existing posse buggering off then all npcs and animals disappearing, tried lobby surfing but with no luck, just wonder if its due to the update supposedly out today.

[Chunkey_Monkey]

Again lots of folk online as new dupe glitch so servers get hammered and cause this sh*t

Weird thing is that when I check server status through my PS4 it says everything is fully functioning.

[ALifeOfMisery]

All servers are now up, apart from RDO on PS4, which has gone from limited to down.

So we got new cloth but not more slots for custom outfits...... Yay

[Leftover Pizza]

The only time I got spawn killed this week is by AI. Spawned in West Elizabeth, just opened the player menu to switch to Defensive Mode. Mauled by bear; dead. I got spawn griefed by R*! And they've done so before! I should report them -.-

[Dr.Rosenthal]

Last night, on party chat, my friend told me ”earlier we talked about how much better this game feels since the update...” and just as he’d said that I got booted from the session.

 

Impeccable timing, as always, R*.
