A small silver lining was that I got myself my first couple of player bounties going after low rank kn*bheads who got themselves high bounties shooting up Valentine and Rhodes.

How does that work? I had a notification that a player bounty was near by, I pressed the button but nothing appeared or happened.

[RyuNova]

Thats something that gets on my tits as well. Why the f*ck is the first reaction from seventy percent of the mouth breathers that are in towns to shoot up the place.

 

If I see a player in Valentine you can bet your sweet ass that its gonna be littered with corpses and a shootout is happening. That is why I am for town guards being OP killers and being Wanted being persistent, you cant just die and lose your Wanted level. I would also lock out all services in that town for a set period for anyone that makes any form of trouble.

They maybe trying to lower their honour to continue story missions. Or farming kills for weapon awards. 

I camped in Blackwater the other day killing the police to get my bounty up so I could get the award for going to jail. While doing this I also got my shotgun affinity more than halfway too.

That's fine, I would still rather they didn't and fought OP Marshall's because of it and had everything locked out. They also need to remove the fact that dying in game removes your Wanted status. Getting Wanted is more of an inconvenience than a punishment.

Not that the hunting missions aren't sh*t in the first place from animals refusing to spawn

Yep, this.

 

Nothing quite like seemingly controlled spawns keeping that immersion at bay and reminding you constantly that you're just playing a game

I didn't know or even think about that lol. I chose an alley in Blackwater with a wall at one end high enough to climb over, parked my horse there and escaped the old fashioned way. 

It's the same as GTA I guess. I think you should still be wanted if you suicide or ewo (respawn), but if the cops kill you that's fair enough.

You mean Rockstar should pull a page out of Elder Scrolls Online and turn law enforcement of the towns into unstoppable terminators? I mean, it’ll be annoying whenever you get a wanted level for petty reasons, but it’ll circumvent the mass-shooting sprees for sure.

Thats fair. I would also have you pay your Bounty price as well. 

I also dont get why NPC Bounty Hunters can arrest you but normal Lawmen cannot. If I accidentally cause trouble in down and get a one cent Bounty I would like to be able to wait for the Lawmen to arrive with my weapons Holstered and pay off my Bounty with no bloodshed but no, everything minor is punishable by death but large Bounties let you be arrested.

Agreed for petty crimes but see my above post.

 

Also we need this guy as the arresting officer...

I got the top left pop up that a player bounty was available, accepted the invite (same way as for freeroam events) and after a couple of seconds the message on the bottom of the screen appeared "kill or hogtie xxx", then they appear on the minimap with the same icon as NPC bounty targets.

 

Both we're busy shooting up the local saloons, so, for both, like an ars*hole, I equipped the tank build, chugged tonics and burst in, re-enforced lasso tackle and because I was so close, I just ran them to the drop off area at the sheriff's office.

 

I don't know how it works if you kill them.

It also can happen with a player in your session, then you won‘t have to join obviously and the bounty hunt starts right away. If you kill the bounty you also need to take it to the sheriff.

 

i was wondering myself if the bounty needs to watch you deliver their body, or if they spawn in another session? It wouldn‘t make sense if they are able to spawn into the same session once killed, but not yet delivered

I knda felt bad afterwards, I think the guy wanted to be captured, oh well lol. The weird ting is, he was right in front of me as a blue dot before it actually kicked in.

Felt kind of sorry for them too, guess they wanted to see what being in jail looked like, nevermind lol.

 

Now I know you just turn their dead body in for an easy $10+ I'll do more in future, might as well make use of my ex/ex rounds.

[RyuNova]

Has anyone noticed that the icon for the custom Volcanic Pistol from the Roles Update is actually the FN 1988 Pistol from PC? I wonder if we were actually supposed to get three unique guns, one for each Role, in the update at some point.

Lost my 2nd sale in a row, had it full for almost a week because I don't need money and I knew something was going to go wrong.

I'm currently stuck staring at Cripps bitching about hurrying up without a HUD. 

All I can do is hold pause to open the map and that's it.

And you know what's worse?

I f*cking called it. I knew it was going to go wrong one way or another.

It's a curse, I tell ya!

[Lonely-Martin]

I see the camp fixes lasted a day, lol.

 

Where's the f*cking alligators!!!

 

C'mon R* FFS. We know you're far better than this bollocks now. Or is it the same clowns that made 2k20 running this crap?

The animals still have problems with spawn count, but the Alligators.......I knew something was wrong when I was sprinting across the Bayou and I didn't hear that chomping sound.

That's about the only positive thing I can come up with for the lack of animal spawns. When I'm collecting I can cut through all the swamp and water areas without my horse saying "nope" and turning me around.

Please tell me that you captured it, Rockstar will refund you if you put in a complaint. Most of the time, it's $625 even if it's the local sale! 

 

They've refunded me twice.

Well, turns out I didn't lost it. I was just frozen. I accepted an invite to Manhunt while I was stuck, maybe that somehow fixed it, or I was simply stuck and the sale never started.

Well last couple of days were nice, horses actually seemed fixed. It didn't buck me off at the first sign of a chipmunk and it actually avoided things like trees and rocks.

 

Then tonight a switch got flipped and they are back to their retarded old selves. Delivery wagon horse decided to go swimming off a cliff, dumping my sale within sight of the drop-off. Then my f*cking horse decides to go rock climbing instead of coming to me so I have to steal a horse. Dipsh*t finally shows up after I've loaded up my borrowed horse. But doesn't follow when I head to the buyer. Then on sack 3 it runs into anything it can find, horses, rocks, porches, dirt-clods... Anything. It even got me killed which cost me about a minute and a half of black screen. Even with a bunch of easy dailies, just shut off the Xbox after my f*cked sale.

[jazzbone]

You should of got a PS4. On PS4 horses are just regular Boneheads. However on xbox horses are Full Retard.
Rumor is that Sony made an under the table deal to have horses less stupider than Micrsoft horses in RDR2.

[Caffeination]

Oh. My. f*cking. GOD.

 

The disconnects were so persistent today that I cannot even remember how many pelts and carcasses I’ve lost now. A huge 3+ gigabyte “patch” and they STILL haven’t fixed this sh*t.

[gtadrive]

Played RDO today, and some thoughts crashed into my head.

Passing by a gang-hideout, I thought about different roads that could have been made compared with RDR1 Multiplayer.
Which road would you take when you see a hideout?

A) You will get free ammo, you will face a challenge of personal time score and killing streaks, you wont wait a day to repeat this event if you are willing to, if your horse dies you could just re-call it.

B) You'll need ammo for this, you wont get your ammo refilled after this, your guns will be damaged and needed to be cleaned (along with clothes), you won't face any challenges or rewards (well, not mentioning treasure map that can drop with chance of 1/100), you won't be able to repeat this event for the next day or even days, if your horse dies, you'll need to wait minutes unless you can re-call it otherwise you are stuck with what ever else.

Basically, realism ruining the gameplay, makes the game less "toyish", RDO is not a survival, but forcing players to manage resources and the way that is not loaded with gameplay. Let's take f.ex. the process of making food: you are not doing anything else besides holding 1 single button for period of time watching static animation over the flame, the food wont overcook or spoil, meat wont rot, it is just a time sucking process, the stick into your wheels.

The guns and stuff, you'll think twice before jumping into water and exploring the area because yeah, your guns will rot and you'll need to fix them. You won't join a shootout if you don't have bullets, and to have bullets you'll have to make your way to nearest supply point such as gun store or delivery station which is often not even close to be near. You'll also may think more if an "event" worth to particulate because of said above criteria.

I just found myself starring at the sun and dying of boredom. Gosh, how good RDR1 Multiplayer used to be, I curse myself for not liking it much when it was actual.

I support this man's take. 2 out of 4 of my horse is a tree and rock magnet and hates open roads.

[Bakkerbaard]

Playing devil's advocate for a moment, though I think we can all agree this was 3GB of hot air, how many of these disconnects could be at our provider's side.

The grand series I had tonight were my problem, it turns out, and had I not also been kicked out of the PS4 party with my buddy I'd never have known.
