Stupid f*cking horse!

STUPID, STUPID f*cking horse!

And npc traffic.

Coming up to a bridge at pretty good speed, npc decides to angle across the bridge to cut me off, my stupid horse decides to intersect with the edge of the bridge railing, it actually glitches up  in the air about 10-15 ft, bucks me off, lands on me and kills me, and disappears the perfect bison pelt I had on back.

I know, I was just complaining about what they're doing with SP at the moment.

Could you elaborate?  I haven’t been on SP for a while.

You said they were breaking it. 

"stop freaking breaking it with each online update"

[kcole4001]

Is there a consistent problem with the rank award treasure maps?

So far I've tried 2 and for both there was nothing at all.

So I then checked a youtube vid to see where it should be, and the place where it should be just has normal scenery.

This isn't the thread to talk about what they're doing to SP, there's one in the main section

I've never had and issue.There can be 2 or 3 spots where the treasure actually is. Perhaps the video you watched wasn't  the spot where yours is.

Twice now I've done that and there was no mistaking either spot, there just wasn't anything there.

I used a map I found on a tree in between these two and it worked fine.

 

Do you have to do them In order?

That would be stupid, but it is R* after all.

There are 4 possible locations for each map - and which one the chest is set in is random.

My bad. It was a one coffee post lol. And I have no desire to discuss SP.

Horse malnourished?  Eat 3 carrots.  Horse is now Fit.

 

Player malnourished?  Eat 3 Thanksgiving Dinners plus Christmas leftovers.  Player is still malnourished.

No. I have no clue what your issue could be.

[kcole4001]

I feel better if there are multiple locations.

Makes sense I guess.

At least my game's not glitched out. 

Maybe I didn't watch the video long enough, that guy's very reliable...have to have a look at it again.

 

It's funny, the randoms I found on trees were fairly easy to locate, no need to watch a video, looked 'round for 5-10 minutes at most.

The Kamassa River treasure I looked for at least 40 minutes and still couldn't find it.

Yeah that link was for the person that asked about it before.

[NChabb]

It's not exclusive to Online but it's still relevant:

 

"Hey, I have these outlaw NPCs attacking me on their horses right in front of me in this camp, but let's stare at this still irrelevant horse nearby or that tied up bounty target right beside me on the ground instead of aiming at who's shooting at me"

 

The target priority is screwed up lol

[kcole4001]

And what is the deal with aiming when you're behind cover?  (on PC if that matters)

It keeps auto turning me to the left or right regardless of where I want to aim.

I have to break cover to shoot someone right in front of me.

Yeah sometime it won't even shoot.

I've been getting that a lot lately too, haven't figured out why except that after a couple of supply missions my LeMats were dirty as hell, maybe that's why (reduced fire rate).

This is why I take mine "Cliff Diving" every so often...

NPCs on horseback are the worst. They just steer right into you as you ride past. And this isn't a bug, either- they're programmed to do it (traffic in GTAO does the same). And then after the collision, you can't hesitate, you have to pull out a gun and murder the other rider because they'll kill you as soon as they can.

[Commander S]

Figured I'd have a go at some of the Legendary Bounties I missed, and ...ugh, when you want to make good use of your free time, it's not great to start from a board in Saint Denis, only to wind up the other side of the map, in the snow. In the end, I just noped the f*** out of RDO for the day*, and played something else, because the amount of button-mashing (or AFKing) to get anywhere on horseback ends up being a real time-waster - and not at all enjoyable mechanically, either.

 

Also, it's not really much of a "fast travel" system if it takes a fair amount of regular travel to get to one in the first place, and then from the fast travel point to where you need to go. Meanwhile, Forza Horizon starts off with a 'fast travel directly to any activity' system (which upgrades to 'fast travel to any point on any road') - and that's a game where getting around the map normally is actually enjoyable (purely from a game-feel perspective), so it's as much fun to just cruise from A to B manually.

 

 

*the other reason: looking at the Legendary Bounty list, I noticed that R* hasn't reset the difficulty levels for any you might have completed already - so that means if I wanted to do Phillip Carlier again, the only option is the 5-star 'radar blips don't work' version. Bad enough that R* went to all the effort of making proper, solo-able contact missions that expire after a certain time, but the arguably better balanced versions (because 'turn the radar off, and insta-spawn insta-kill alligators' is a cheap way of upping the difficulty) are only playable the once. I'd like to think that R* will change this eventually, so that you can play them from a menu with a difficulty select option (like GTAO contact missions did from Day 1... ), but I'm not getting my hopes up...

4 times today doing collection runs my character just starts walking away, off into the great yonder. unresponsive.

 

When this occurs, it means I don't get the collectible item.

 

So, yay. 4 collections I cannot complete today.

Happened to me last week. I had finished all but one collections and was missing 1 coin and the bug happened. It triggered my OCD for 24 hours.

 

It’s a bug that has been seemingly present for a while. Exploits get fixed in less than 24 hours but that kind of bug persist.

I usually get that when I'm near an object or a wall. My guy just walks up against it and keeps walking, trying to convince it'll get done like I do at work.

Maybe you should consider stop playing video games then... or take your meds.

This is the main reason why I don't replay them. 

 

If we could choose the difficulty, I'd probably go for 3* most of the time, it's a decent level of balance, more enemies with more health but with minimap blips still on. 

 

I wouldn't be playing them for the payout, I'd be playing them to add variety to my gameplay loop and I wouldn't necessarily want to be playing on 5*, no radar, bullet sponge difficulty every single time. That would be cool as part of a group from here, it would be masochism on an unenjoyable level with low level randoms or by myself.

 

I don't understand R*s choice to allow players less choice in their gameplay. No one is going to grind these on easy difficulty levels for the payout, and if anyone did it would be far from the most effective grind.

Stop using the awful cover system that rockstar won’t stop using in every single game they’ve ever made in the last 17 years. You can just achieve a 100x better effect by crouching in first person and headglitching over cover or strafing in and out of the sides.

[zibies]

F-ing play bounties on PC not working -.-
 I have tried several times now.
I have a bounty on me over 20USD, my mate is lvl 20 bounty hunter, with the lisence ofc. One time he got the inv for the bountyevent when i got close, but the mission never started, and next time i logged in my bounty was just reset to 0.
Now he dosent even get the event inv when i come close with a 20USD bounty. 
Why is this not working? Is it only bugging for us or do others have the same problem?

Yeah, I usually get in cover more by accident while frantically reloading, then when I try to shoot someone who comes around the flank my character's aiming right at a wagon or rock in the wrong direction.
