Despite GTAO’s numerous faults that made it into a mind-numbing mess, at least it took the decency to notify us when Rockstar’s Cloud service saved our progress with a spinning yellow circle in the corner. Even forcing the Cloud to save your progress was as simple as equipping and unequipping a pair of glasses.

 

In RDO, you gotta wait for a good minute to be sure because there’s no indicator whatsoever.

Yeah that always worries me especially after completing a trading delivery and it could disconnect any second.

Not the greatest picture quality, but how on earth does this yellow route make sense? Why would I want to go all the way around the Dakota River bend when I can practically go due north and get there in half the time?

Maybe it's a one way road?

The yellow line is sh*t. Looking at your map to determine the quicker route, or even the nearest town is what I do.

I capture a target up there in Big Valley, not far off from the road that's practically straight to Strawberry..... and it wants me to go all the way west and down that stupidly long ass path to get there?! lmao, no thanks!

 

If I want to drag out a mission, I'd rather sit there for a minute or two before turning in the bounty. Or if it's close enough, go to a different target in order to snag a bounty there. Like Blackwater's actually pretty close to some West Elizabeth bounties, I'd rather go there than Strawberry or a wagon so I can check up on my camp and resupply/hunt a bit of deer if necessary

Looks like you're stuck with "The Cock." My posse bro and I call the route "The Cock" because... Well you'll see. More often than not, when we're running a delivery or bounty, one of us will tell, "dammit, its sending us around the cock."

 

We always end up have to readjust our route like you did. It's a weird routing bug.

So I start the game, choose Free Roam Lemoyne and end up at Wapiti. Nice 

 

 

Seems that spawning is becoming an issue. I chose to spawn in Lemoyne and I ended up on the outskirts of Blackwater..

[Karen Daniels]

Small gripe but I am a fan of the smaller more quant things in games. Since launch my poses for self portraits (camera not at studio) have been broken. Can only do the one with the hands folded, and the two kneeling ones. And now with posse portraits, every time we go to do one, the posse leader will crash out of the game.

God I really hope we see a patch this Tuesday regarding better server connection, this is f*cking ridiculous...

No idea if it works but after doing something I open the catalogue and buy some ammo, I assume it saves after

[Van_Hellsing]

I can not pitch a camp. After choosing an location, the selection starts to flicker. Then I get a message that Cripps has packed up the camp. 

 

I change sessions and sometimes the camp will be at the chosen location. And sometimes not. 

 

I resort to the hunting wagon to store some carcasses. The wagon always faills to find me, despite me standing at a road. That you can't have both your horse and wagon active at the same time is lazy programming. 

 

[frap]

Your progress for the normal daily challenges (i.e. 4/5 wild carots picked) is saved when switching lobbies but the new role ones will be reset. 

 

Also it seems Sunday evening (EU time) is griefer time. Yesterday it happened again whereas at other times and days it is really relaxed. Three times in a row and the latest ‘trick’ of those d**kheads is to immediately switch lobbies so I can’t retaliate and kill them until they parley or leave the lobby.

Do as i do: Note down the griefers player tag on a bit of paper, and use the "find player function" by your console.

Then you can either fight them or report them for unfair behaviour...

Many times these "dickheads" is forgetting to hide their console identity...

Thanks mate for the tip. But now that griefers camping at Madame Nazar’s is a thing I think I just switch back to Defensive Mode, something I’ve done very rarely in the last months.

I get the feeling people already have rushed through all roles and now are back to being bored again, harassing others. Just like it was in the beginning.

 

I just wish everyone could kill red blip players without any consequence.

Yeah I don't always follow the route the game gives me, I was trying to figure out where the waypoint was so I was trying to follow the route to find it only to realize it was right above me lol. I thought at first there was a reason it took me so far out of my way so that's when I decided to set my own waypoint to see if it gave me the same route and sure enough it was much shorter. In open areas such as Big Valley and the Heartlands I typically don't use the roads and just ride straight "as the crow flies" to get to where I'm going 

[hotrats773]

No camp for almost an entire day (money was deducted for it though! Thanks f*ckers). Using bounty and resupply sessions for hunting is getting old.

 

With camp, dailys, animal population  and other things so f*cked, I have little faith in any other components of the game. It's really become a goddamn chore to get anything done without asking "how will this get hosed?" I really don't care for more content until they fix this sh*t.

I report and block them, each and every one. I can also confirm that players blocking others from seeing Madame Nazar is a thing now. I visit her now when using the bounty glitch. Thank you, Rockstar (you're a bunch of xxxxxxxx). 

[Caffeination]

Not a B&M, but once you unlock the Trader ability that lets you get more material from perfect carcasses, never ignore squirrels. Even when the servers are being garbage as usual and spawning only poor condition varmints, the squirrels will always be there, and I never seen any American Red Squirrels or Black Squirrels in less than perfect condition.

 

You can hold up to 10 of these fluffy critters around for when you need to fill the production bar until the server sorts itself out and finally sends a consistent stream of perfect Whitetail Bucks to make up for its incompetence episode.

Why do the camps get packed up? I dont get it? Is it something to do with other players in the lobby? It is so frustrating, normally I didn't care as I never visited it, now as a trader I do.
I mean if Cripps has to pack, just move it close by automatically and let me know. 
The camp needs something too, more characters, and personality. maybe the ability to design a character who can do things there, like cook (which will probably end up being 40 gold bars). It is good we can upgrade the tables and tent though. Cripps also mentioned this fella called "The Crab". I want him to join my camp, just want to know why he is called "The Crab".

Him and Pete were hanged the day after the bank job in Tennessee, only Cripps managed to get out of the town safely.

That's a damn shame.

Cripps sounds like a grass..

[Coleco]

While Master Archer can be lots of fun (and oddly satisfying), the ability to kill other players in it often overrides the objective and spoils it a little. It just becomes a bow and arrow deathmatch far too easily. You can't kill other players in the Wild Animals Kills challenge (and there are way less targets in that mode to distract people) so why is it allowed here?

 

 

Out of the Free Roam Events i've played, most of them are questionable to be honest. Worst culprits for amateur-hour game design are still Shotgun Spawn Kill Railroad Baron and WTF is Going On Seriously Dispatch Rider though

Someone else who has a bugged Trader wagon?

 

Did post a ticket with <72 hour answer time

Yep. Some sessions it doesn't matter how much I call it it will never show up. The stables are always "Busy". 

 

Oh and today's B&M #1,"You know, this would sell more as a set."

 

YES I KNOW THEY SELL FOR MORE AS A SET! I DON'T f*ckING CARE! AND TURN OFF THAT f*ckING MUSIC! NO WONDER YOU ARE f*ckING LOOPY IN THE HEAD YOU LISTEN TO THE SAME TWO SONGS ON REPEAT!

 

B&M #2,

Oh and can I get a refund on my f*cking horse? Bought a Klaudhopper or whatever it's called because it's supposed to be "Brave". On Saturday it spooked because a squirrel ran by it. Not only that but the f*cking thing AIMS for rocks. It's smashed into so many rocks, trees, walls and tents it's name is Lawndart. It's gotten to the point where I rather send the horse cliffdiving and would rather walk to my destination.

I can relate. R* really should add some logic so that the first time you go to sell to her, she says that line, but that's it. Only once.

Not every. f*cking. time I go to sell an individual item. Mental.

 

Also, my Turkoman used to laugh in the face of danger. Now he crashes into trees at the sight of a f*ckin muskrat.

One time my Kladruber jumped over a big rock and in doing so smashed headfirst into a tree that was directly behind the rock. Spent a good few seconds picking up all of the carcasses I had stored on my horse

+1 on both accounts.

 

#1 - I go ballistic whenever I am selling a lot of single items. 

 

#2 -  Think I wasted $1,100 on my Criollo which is the worst horse I ever owned. Unbelievably skittish, gets spooked by nearly everything. You cannot even trot through shallow water without it complaining and whinnying. Almost ruined my 5* legendary bounty hunt today. 

On the one hand I like that no two horses are alike (just like IRL) but you at least should get an indication of what you’re getting. Just imagine you’d buy one “that requires GOLD to purchase” (“do you have some?”) such as one of the rarer breeds/coats, only to end up with a coward.

Same thing did happen to me today but due to a log - annoying as horsesh*te.

Wait what? There is a more elaborate objective other than killing each other as many times as possible until the event ends?  

Whenever I joined, it basically was exactly what you’re saying with nearly all players “huddled up” and killing each other as soon as one spawned.

about 3 or 4 days ago i tried doing the 5 star wolf man bounty because i got tired of my chestnut arabian getting spooked in that bounty, so i tried to use the kladruber that i bought when the dlc came out.

that horse got so easily spooked by the wolves (i swear it was a bigger coward then my arabian) and my arabian doesn't get that easily spooked.

so i got rid of my kladruber and now i'm out of over $1,000.00.
