The fact we have not got private sessions yet. Offensive/defensive playstyles won't cut it, even if you're in defensive you will still be attacked by determined griefers. I been attacked four times today alone while in defensive, it doesn't change anything. No matter what Rockstar does, it won't deter dedicated griefers from doing what they do. They should just give it up and give us private sessions already, they need to quit sniffing their ass gas and forcing us into public sessions out of some delusional and misguided vision of theirs. Players will never do what you want them to do. Accept that.

Their games facilitate, encourage, and reward players for being dicks to one another. This in turn attracts bad apples who in turn create a rather toxic community. Players who want to play the game, but not be subject to the toxicity should have a means of removing themselves from it.

Yeah, I'll never stop asking. Might have had a reprieve this week, but I don't expect it to last. Hope it does though.

 

I just want R* to release Bully 2 Online, lol. Already had to change the name of the last one here in the UK because of the name sounding encouraging or whatever. The parents/government will have a field day if R* had the balls to release an online game under a name that truly does highlight the obvious and does what it says on the tin. Bully online.

 

The fact that R* allow cheating with it all is just a joke.

@Lonely-Martin

 

I’m really happy to hear that you’re enjoying the game more recently! And sorry for sounding like a R* rep, lol.

 

I know it ain’t perfect still, but the griefing situation seems to have become better, just two days ago I spawned into Valentine into a literal barfight, two or three possies were beating up NPC’s and I just went to the bar, got me a whiskey and observed the whole spectacle without being attacked even once. Stuff like that didn’t happen before.

 

Sure, there is still a bit of fighting here and there, and to me, I really enjoy the fact that there’s always the potential to get into a war (I know many of you disagree though), but yeah, to me it’s got just about the right amount of tension/hostility to it.

 

If I’m in the wilderness, most often I don’t even see anyone else and when I do they usually wave back at me nowadays.

 

I know this wasn’t much of a B&M post, sorry about that.

 

Well, I guess I can use this space to bitch about the f*cking Raccoon hat. Never seen an uglier piece of clothing in a game, like ever. It’s absolutely horrendous.

I sure hope that hat won't be a required attire item for a Hunter/Trader role. The world doesn't need a whole mass production batch of Davy Crocketts running about. 

Had the raccoon hat in story mode too, just for completionist's reasons. It's hideous.

[4eyedcoupe]

I was all good with the offense/defense player type and griefing was never really an issue for me before, but honestly the past 3-4 days have been the worst I have ever had in this game with other players.  I've always supported separate lobbies even if I didn't really intend to use them, but now I'm all for them and will be sending R* messages everyday.

Yeah, it's not a hat for me either, lol.

 

It's all good dude, and thanks too. I appreciate many playstyles are keen and R* are determined to try this and to be fair I should try it too to have a better opinion and offer my feedback on it as one or two moments aren't gonna define it all.

 

I do feel if they allow cash glitches to go unattended properly and fairly it can compromise the whole concept though so I hope they put more effort in all round than they do with GTA. Time will tell.

 

I really hope it continues to grow on me.

Anyone else having trouble killing turkeys in one shot with the varmint rifle? For the last couple of weeks, I can never get a 1 shot kill on turkeys and I know very well I used to be able to easily do it a while back. Now, no matter where I hit it, how close I am or whatever, I have to shoot turkeys twice with the varmint rifle. Did they change something?

I've noticed as well, it's like they toughened the fkr's up or something.

Yeah, just as Lonely-Martin says, I'll keep asking Rockstar to get it together with separate servers. I submit any Defensive grief videos (mine and those I find on YouTube) to Rockstar.

I'll be the first to admit that I get griefed much less now but the griefing still happens. I still play in free roam mostly while in glitched lobbies, especially when fishing.

What do you mean by glitched lobbies?

Finally put in a ticket about my gold Turk's broken red cores. 

 

I tried killing him a few times, nothing worked. So I complained to R* support, asked for my $950 to be returned, plus the $125 for horse insurance, so I can discard him and buy another.

 

The reply was something along the lines of "lol, no. We know it's an issue, we're working on it, thanks for your patience", ticket closed.

 

I don't need to cash, or another horse, but having the most expensive, in terms of cash, horse, stuck in the stable, insured, with broken cores is just a little tiresome.

Use paint it black and shoot its neck or head. That's what i usually do and it dies in one shot and keeps its value.

Jan 14th I put my first ticket in for this and was told the same as you " We are working as fast as possible on this issue" 

 

Sorry but if they aint fixed it yet they aint going to.

I noticed hunting ducks with the varmint rife, Range seems way less .

Used to be point and click Easy

 

something has changed

I'm basically waiting for something to come along that I would have replaced it with anyway, Micah's black and white MFT is top of my wish list, but I do feel that R* should be willing to refund us for horses with broken cores. That $1075, including insurance, was hardly a drop in the ocean for me, especially as the horse is useless now.

R* are too far stuck up their ass, it's only going downhill from now on. 

Why tf make an online feedback page with dedicated sections and what not when they literally implemented just 2 simple highly requested features so far... Ponchos and poker. They waste resources on this beautiful website for feedback and do absolute minimum to actually deliver. Your feedback is irrelevant to them. They only do what fits THEM and what they have planned and what PROFITS to make their investors happy and poor Strauss Zelnick can buy a sandwich for each microtransaction that dumb fanboys openly support... I'm just so frustrated with all this sh*t this company is pulling off recently... I used to like em

This. This the biggest problem you guys laid out again until they do these private servers they show they don't care at all of what people want just telling us what they want. All these game issues and such are bad but if they wont implement private sessions then they truly are a lost cause think of how much more you could do, they hamstringed this game's online straight away. I could overlook issues in the game but having to play in this public cess pool (again and again) because they want profit over roleplay is terrible.

 

Ah Red Dead 1 when they actually cared about immersion or when they wanted it to be an actual realistic setting where you could play how you want with friends or a coop world, you can tell now it's not about that. I keep thinking what is bugging me while playing it and it's definetly this the most I keep wondering why be so stupid? But will they implement it in the future though is there hope? Is it a technical thing with time or they just being asses with profitability we really don't know until years ahead but if it never comes we know they chose head in their asses money over us all again...

[XxJazzy42xX]

I know this was mentioned and might have already been submitted, but to double down R* needs to release some patch that fixes the walking style selection. If I select X walking style have it stay that way unless I change it later and the same goes for Offensive and Defensive play styles.

 

Now on the other hand. I know players want heists and all, but most people I met can't even hop on the Stagecoach for a simple grab and go heist mission without getting blasted in the face hilariously(Banks Don't Rob Themselves). If that was a mission to test if players are ready for heists I shudder at the amount of people who would fail.

[YNNEL]

I haven’t had a random event since the day they came out.

 

I’m lucky if 1/5 showdowns actually load.

I had that problem for 2 weeks since informing R*, but now its cleared up for me and idk why. Idk if its a bug of some sort or what.

Are there still blue screen & disconnects crashes on PS4, like each 10-15 mins ? I was thinking about giving this another try because of the stuff they added recently but if this is still happening, just no way..

You're so pessimistic, they eventually fixed horse bonding didn't they?

 

I guess my current B&M isn't a fault of the game/devs but my own, forgot to play and do one challenge yesterday so I lost my 21 day streak, sh*t sucks lol.

 

@ThaBirdCoot I have not crashed since the update, I have gotten maybe 3 disconnects since then but I don't get disconnected that often and those bother me a lot less than the crashes.

It seems to get better as you get near the evenings... I am beginning to think that the reason we disconnect is that during the day, we connect to whatever server is available, no matter where they are in the world. But in the evenings, when more people from your own region is on, you connect to your local servers, and therefor don't get disconnected because there isn't any extreme latency.

 

This is just speculation, but it is what I have noticed. Playing during the day = Disconnects every 10-15 minutes. In the evenings = Play for hours.

 

Give it a try.

My issue was with the actual blue screening & beeing forced to close app on PS4, I thought my brand new console just sh*t the bed at first but then it became too apparent this was clearly an issue only with RDO. So I deleted the game & haven't played since when they added leMat ect. Disconnects still happened randomly but those were a less serious issue for me though being annoying af.

 

I will reinstall and see for myself I guess..

As I mentioned above I have not gotten a crash since the 1.10 update.

I heard that the PS4 has less Blue Screens, but they are not eliminated yet. But... It is Rockstar, so don't expect them to be completely gone for another 3-5 months.

Playing "Kill Them, Each and Every One" and the people I'm grouped with all just rushed Teddy Brown at the end are all killed within seconds forcing us to start from the checkpoint, where they do it again, on the third attempt two of them learned and only one got his face blown off and we were able to kill him. You'd think the cutscene showing him with a bunch of armor and a shotgun would've tipped them off to avoid getting right up in his face but apparently not.

There’s a checkerboard upstairs in Tammy’s house.

 

Why can’t we play online checkers? Or pool for that matter. I used to love playing those (I think it was on Yahoo, correct me), online against people, about 15+ years ago. 

 

You mean to tell me they can’t do something like that here? I wanted it for the MC hangout in GTA and THIS is a supposed upgrade.

 

Let us get our filliards with billiards.

Most players don't have a clue what they are doing.
And they probably "skip the cutscenes" too so they are very uninformed of the mission...
Sad, but true...
