I have a decent stockpile of money and Gold Bars but what are we gonna do when everything is thousands of dollars and the best stuff is like fifty plus Gold Bars and we are still making a quarter at most of a Gold Bar per mission and five hundred dollars?

 

Look at the Kreiger from GTAO, 2.8 million dollars and the Bunker makes two hundred and ten thousand every two hours. That's thirteen hours of continuous play just to afford a single car.

 

 

Agreed. Things are definitely going to get more expensive as well as items that can only be bought with gold bars.

If you do the long distance delivery yes, but you can stay in defensive doing a short distance sale. Players are not given any incentive to kill you either.

The only time I ever get attacked these days is by stupid low ranks who don't know about defensive and how it works.

 

I won't lie, it always amuses me when some lowbie rolls up on me continuously whipping his/her gun out in an attempt to auto aim on me while in defensive mode.

 

B&M time:

I'm still annoyed that they went from a weekly clothing/bonuses/etc update to a biweekly one, yet the stuff offered during the first week will go away at week two? How does that make any sense, especially considering some of the items are limited. 

 

Put out some new clothes and offer up some actual belts/bandoliers, I don't give a sh*t if they clip I'll make the best of it (like I did in single player).

Amuses me as well. Same as when they pull out their knife and charge at you doing a litlte arm wiggle.

If they wont give us new stuff every week then rotate the old "Limited Stock" items on the second week. So its new stuff one week and old stuff the next.

Pretty sure that stuff will be locked for a major update.

Yeah and I'll keep glitching outfits in the meantime I guess

@Leftover Pizza that is my experience as well, hardly ever get attacked. And I never put myself in defensive mode. Ive been playing without radar lately to make the game a bit more thrilling. I know the map by heart anyway, using the collector map to check where Im going so I dont need to use the ingame map. If I was to be attacked by hostile players, I would have turned on the radar again. But today the only combat I saw was me being dragged off my horse which became a fist fight after. I even strolled around st denis, doing a few dailies noticed a few red dots, but no one came after me. A player bounty popped up, and I accepted it. The guy died before I got there somehow. Another guy was fishing next to the body. I could collect the body without anyone even looking in my direction.

 

I hate anything that takes me out of free roam. So nobody go all "play showdowns" on me. 

 

Tl:dr: this game is getting boring with too little free roam pvp

Start a communty or ask around here to find like minded players... I bet you there is people here who like pvp....

Yea, until they patch it and all your saved outfits "mysteriously" disappear due to a "glitch"

 

[Foxwolfe]

Lol true that, on the bright side only 2-3 of my outfits are glitched, it annoys me too much that the outfits typically break upon loading so I didn't want to go overboard with them.

Rockstar, take the dailies that don’t count although I do them, oil your asshole up with special snake oil open a pack of condom put three on a machete and show it up with all the dailies that don’t count in your doohdooh hole alright?

'Escort a stranger in need', eh? I saved the fellow by the river near Blackwater, carried him to Thieves Landing, and never got that checked off my Dailies.

[Bakkerbaard]

More of a question, this, but I suppose it can double as a B&M.

 

I've noticed that whenever there are other players nearby, like, see-the-blue-blip nearby, my overal game experience dips.

Not that they hassle me, but I notice a slight visual stutter, animation like cooking meat are delayed, bounty missions won't start.

And ofcourse we've all noticed it's a whole lot easier to set up camp outside of hunting hotspots.

 

Anyone else notice this with randoms around?

 

My theory is a bit shakey, as I sometimes have a friendlist player around and everything's fine.

killed for no reason at all, but I kill back and settle the score. 

Hard to settle the score when it's always 100+ levelled three man posses with pay2win gold bought guns and constant dead eye, faster horses, and tank setups. My bolt action does nothing. My revolver hits nothing.

I always have a stash of dynamite arrows and EE ammo ready to at least kill someone back. Thing is, I've only needed a dynamite arrow once or twice. So, that pamphlet was a bit of a waste, money wise.

The Dynamite arrows are great for killing 2 animals in an explosion. Specially with fish! So if you haven't maxed that out, then it's worth it.

[Dark Spark]

A dynamite arrow is a good way to collect animal fat for 'splodey rounds and fire bottles, as you can kill a good number of ducks who are settled by a riverbank.

Accidentally chosen to do a local delivery instead of a supply run at 96/100 good produced lol

 

not even a f*cking confirmation pop-up or one of those option where you need to hold X or A for a while to confirm your choice.

I know from experience that the hold-it buffer only adds three seconds to the f*ck up. ;o)

Either that or people who played enough over the past year to afford all that. I personally am sitting on a nice 25,000 dollars and 237 gold. Haven't spent a penny on micro-transactions.

I got friends. And they like what I like. But its not about organized pvp. Its more about the risk. If there is absolutely no risk, things get dull. Im mainly a pve player, and its many times Im fine with dull. I see the benefit of being able to level without any risk, or maybe I have limited game time and can only do a local sale. I dont mind R* making it better for pve'ers. But its gone too far now, there has to be a balance. Im still for players getting ($20?)bounty for raiding other players sales. I would be a raider then. Not only having to fight for the wagon, but also have to escape bounty hunters after. I wouldnt even mind if I had to go to jail.

 

Or make pvp zones like wow has. In free roam. Set up one in the snow, and one in new austin. Would have been great.

Starting this past Saturday, I've been getting an infinite load screen. It just sits there with the picture rotation, after about 2 minutes the music cuts out. This happens in both online and story mode.  Anyone know a fix for this?  I let it sit for 15 minutes and it was still in the picture rotation. Bummer

Erm, out of the two of you, there's only one that A) looks like it's ever had a wash, and B), crucially, I explicitly asked to have at camp, so...

 

But if it bothers you that much (and since you're already so keen to set up a meat raffle somewhere rather than look after my camp), there's nothing stopping you leaving any time you want, eh?

...in other gripes, I figured I'd look up the most appropriate colours for a possible Criollo and Breton to add to my roster eventually, and of course the two most breed-typical colours are for the baseline ones with the crappy stats.

My two favorite horses are Grullo Dun Breton (Tan) and Tiger Striped Bay Mustang. Neither have the best stats but are good horses. I keep up fine with horses with the best stats. I'm usually ahead of them anyway because of my shortcuts from A-B.

Exactly. The game is dead. R* are killed their own product on purpose. Instead of making Undead Nightmare 2 or co-op game mode versus zombies, they decide to make stupid unbalanced to hell bugged pvp game mode that never reaches the minimum player number to be played.

In the event you do get attacked you have the massive advantage of being immune to headshots as well as a strong innate damage resistance. I killed a posse of four twice now using this advantage, dispatching them all with my trusty sawed off shotgun. Its also been a known fact for a long time now that griefers can take you out of defensive mode by putting themselves in front of you and your horse and getting knocked over. Any time another player is riding past you, give them a wide berth. If they keep trying to get close despite giving them more space, then slow down or come to a complete stop.

Lastly I never put myself in a position where I can be ran over by another player on horseback or wagon easily.

The two player attack on me came when one player came up over a hill and T-boned me. I didn't see him or his partner on the other hill who shot me.

 

The attack when the player tried to run me over with his wagon was me seeing if my justification of calling Rockstar axxxxxxs was valid. I will sometimes play in a nonglitched lobby (as I did in the situation above also), minding my own business, enjoying the scenery. Some people say they never get attacked while playing. Fine for them. I and others (see that When Justice Is Served thread) are being attacked. And most are being attacked because Rockstar is the main axxxxxe here, not the childish griefing bullies who actually do the deed.
