The Red Dead Online B*tch & Moan Thread

[Coleco]

R*, can we please stop the whole goddamn seemingly infinite army spawning thing with this (and every other) game please? To capture each single bounty alive I have to kill about 30 other people rushing me in several waves. That's some serious bro love.

 

I murder more than the murderers murder

 

 

And i'm supposed to be the good guy!

using bounties to create solo sessions didn't work as all 4 that I tried started in the session I was in but were bugged with the bounty target not appearing and all shops became inaccessible.

Though I wasn't on yesterday (CoD) I was quickly doing the lobby hop before or after I selected the bounty and that usually kicked me into a solo lobby. Then I used the resupply missions (I don't do them, I just use the time to hunt) to keep the lobby empty.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I dont like that you can dualwield with just one holster.

Tell them you‘ve done all the steps and the game is working fine again (twinker twinker), but you insist on getting the cash reward you lost due to the disconnect.

 

i did so and they added the 625$ to my balance

I told them straight away that I did not want compensation. Also told my connection was fine and the issue as nothing to do with it (I think...). Also that dude from R* is still talking about disconnection and error message and that he'd need a screenshot, when I've been very clear in my first message that it was a game crash, so no error message...

 

Anyway I'll wait and see what his next answer is and I'll ask for compensation then... This is going nowhere anyway.

Looks like my horse wants to be brushed every 5 seconds now.

Note that when the collector roles are like "0/3 arrowheads collected", they must be collected in the same session, otherwise the count resets. 

 

Idk if it was your case or not.

Thanks for the info, I did not know that. So role specific stuff has to be same session but all other objectives can be across session... weird....

Good old R*, I do enjoy when they "fix" things.

Not sure if it's coincidence or a fix, but I moved my camp in a 22 player lobby and got it insta spawned at the new location. Wildlife, though..... it's non existent.

That amuses me in RDR2 single-player, too - it's 1898, and yet the O'Driscoll 'gang' has enough members to qualify as nation state, and they all have state-of-the-art GPS tracking and wireless communication devices that allow them to coordinate and home in on Arthur Morgan from any direction, even if one of them just stumbled upon him by chance, and there's no earthly way they could have notified every other gang member in the county from the middle of nowhere...

 

And this is part of why R* gets flack for not trying to improve or evolve their approach to game design - compare this to the likes of MGSV, where doing things like stopping enemies calling in backup by radio is one of the many fine-tuned tactical options, or where you can even just thin out every surrounding base before attacking a target, so then they don't have backup to call in (and no cheap infinite insta-spawning waves of enemies, either).

 

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

 

In another example of R*'s game design being dated and unsatisfying, I finally bought myself that Mauser I wanted, and ...it's okay, I guess - but like every other gun in the game (aside from the odd punchy-by-the-standards-of-this-game-at-least shotgun), there's so little feedback from it. The whole point of 'game feel' is to disguise the fact that you're not just clicking a button, and yet I've had more resistance and 'oomph' from a real-life Nerf gun.

 

Meanwhile, in Monster Hunter, I'll swap from a decent-enough blade to a more powerful one with ice attacks, and the animations and sound design do a fantastic job of conveying weight, momentum, impact, etc. A dull blade will bounce off hard enemies with a properly-disorientating 'thunk', while sharper ones can whirl around effortlessly, sending monsters reeling, all with a satisfying ring to each slash. Heck, even a more notoriously janky game like Mafia III manages to make suppressed pistols feel precise and efficient, and marksman rifles nice and punchy - I just don't get why R*'s stuff has about as much snap and crackle as the feel and sound of clicking a mouse button.

Same for me. 

 

Since the patch earlier my camp is now there upon every lobby change and initial load in, full areas are greyed out and camp moves don't result in Cripps packing it up.

 

Animal spawns aren't much better, if at all, than pre 1.14. High population lobbies still have hardly any wildlife, but when the player count drops low enough, like after a freeroam event invite, animals start spawning again, until the lobby fills back up.

Oh, neat - the new clothing today includes some actual dress shoes...

 

...and they're only available for male characters.

 

And before anyone brings up 'historical accuracy', it's not like R* hasn't been perfectly fine with unisex stuff and/or anachronistic clothing (neon horror masks, anyone?), so ...why can't I finish off my 'consulting detective' outfit with some actual shoes, FFS - ??

[joshua969]

Is it true the camp spawns are fixed ?

shame the wildlife is still broken though

[No Homing]

Omg I'm the biggest idiot ever, confirmed.

I could have grabbed a condor egg in 10 seconds, but I forgot to sell it.

I finally got it at the one spawn location I needed it to be at but I f*cked up so bad.....

Wait what.... are you telling me that it vanishes from your inventory after the event is done? That's even more fail than I've already read about this event!

Haven't fired things up this morning but as of last night, camp spawns and wildlife as broken as ever.

Lol i‘ve wondered why a dude didn‘t pick up the egg in the event i was few minutes ago. While wondering I forgot to slow down and crashed down the cliff where the egg was. 
could it be that we‘ve been in the same event?

[Non Funkable Token]

The new update has introduced a change that irks me: now you have to scroll with L1 to donate to Cripps, or to sell at the butcher, send collections, etc. The first screen belongs to "recent items" and obviously is a mix of varied stuff. 

 

No one asked for that, right? 

[Brutal Trout]

Am I the only one having troubles with the object wheel (fishing rode, camp etc...) ?

[chuckclc]

Couple things I noticed so far.  One I like one I dislike.  Dislike: tougher to bring up items/horse stuff quickly on the wheel. Weapons still work the same but you have to hold the R stick longer to equip item or horse things. Also feathers and plumes have more value now and can be considered useful to donate to Cripps.

NO.

 

Now the wheel seems to work worse. Pulling the metal detector was a pain at a times (didn't try fishing rod or tonics). Could be another subtle change to the game mechanics no one asked for? .....

Waiting for wildlife to spawn.....

No I already had one.

[chuckclc]

And still didnt fix large animal carcasses donated to Cripps. If you donate them from your wagon they still do not count.

Not being able to stack them is another fail, IMO. Either way, it's an event I steer clear from.

[Danish Crusader]

Well that patch was a letdown.

They didn't fix the Wakeeney outfit on the athletic female body.

They didn't fix the animal spawns.

They didn't fix the Breton changing size.

They didn't fix ANY of the other role outfit bugs/flaws.

They broke the item wheel somehow(Guess to stop tonic chugging).

Aaaand the newest Legendary Bounty can be completed in about 3 minutes. Not even kidding, 3 minutes. I shot 3 of her clones, ran and grabbed her off of the coach and turned her in. The cutscene lasted longer than the actual bounty gameplay.

I try it often. The couple of times I won, it came in handy for upgrading ability cards.

 Guess that's a great excuse to go hunting.

Having some issues here too with the wheel! Took me couple of times to get out the detector or change cloths....

Just opened a ticket with support, we'll see what gives..... I could do with most of the broken stuff in the game but not this...

[Leftover Pizza]

I'm having no issues with the wheel so far. Everything selects fine.
