The honor/bounty system is f*cked!

Both in online and single player.

 

I kill 6 people and their horses, lose a little honor.

Feed my horse once and it's full again?

 

And exactly who witnessed me feeding my horse, or skinning those animals? (skinning animals you hunted gives you honor...just weird )

 

In single player I ride across Braithwaite land and they get pissed, I stealth kill one of their guards that comes after me and I get a $15 bounty.

 

Make up your f*cking minds, which is it gonna be? Stupid easy or stupid hard?

Yes it is stupid. You can go medieval on St Denis or Valentine but you are a the nicest person in the world everybody loves you because you give extra tasty carrots to your horse!

 

And talking about stupid hard! I did a bounty up in that abandoned fort outside Van Horn with 2 star bounty of 4 girls to turn in. If they made an effort to free them or shout take they are going to take revenge instead of throwing wave after wave npc against you. Same thing with revenue agents!

 

[kcole4001]

Yep, a wild carrot and a few strokes with the brush do wonders for your standing in the community!

They said kill 3 players with a rifle in a showdown, they said kill three players with a headshot. It is kinda hard with firing bullets with a knife! These special edition should have a category of its own. So I jumped over to shootout series instead and that game mode is basically dead. I will thank the player who sticked around so I could get my headshot kills with a rifle.

That's mostly why I never do these, even if they are a pretty easy daily, it takes ages just to get enough people to play.

I'll gladly waste money to get gold, but I'm not sitting around all day to do something I don't like for a measly 0.5 gold and whatever pittance they give as a payout.

Dropped my streak, going to have a break.

670 hours and now on pause.

I had fun.

[Archangelsky]

My streak goes on monday,  will see what I do after that. Probably I do 1-4 easy daily challenges after that until we get official news.

[kcole4001]

Now every time I hop up into the burned house above the stable south of Emerald the game locks up and I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL to get out of it.

Last time was to finish a still mission, today was to pick up a card from the basement.

I believe there was a card in the basement when I was doing the still mission, so it may be linked to that specifically.

 

New content will be welcome, but if they don't fix existing issues, it won't mean much.

When the shine update dropped I couldn't trust it to not black screen on initiating a sale for a couple of months.

There are still the same collectibles/locations bugged since the launch of the collector role and it doesn't appear to be getting any better.

This card never was a problem before.

Darn this map is to small! Moonshiner and hideouts are sharing spots.So for today's daily I needed to clear out moonshiners to get hideouts to spawn.

[kcole4001]

Why is it always 'pick 5' when we all know they really mean pick 6, because there will always be one that doesn't count...

take a breather between them and it should work! Sometimes the game is way to laggy!

I picked 2 in one spot, then probably at least 5 minutes later I find a 3 spot and only 2 count.

It happens all the time.

 

And today I spent over 4 hours looking for a second hideout with no success, even with only 17 people in the session.

It's a bare minimum from now on. I'll do the fastest, cheapest single daily and out.

Found my two outside Mcfarlane Ranch and Willard's Rest and the second one mostly spawns at night and the first in day time.

f*cking DOUBLE UP the speed for the animation to pick up the f*ckin condor egg. OR.....get rid of those f*ckin dynamite arrows in that event

Meh I have almost 2300 gold, gladly gave up my streak a month ago.

No point in playing just for 1 or 2 dailies if I have this much gold.

I've never had a streak longer than a couple weeks, but luckily still have plenty of gold. But looking back in the thread there are a few people who decided to recently end their streak due to lack of information. So I definitely feel for them 

[RaigeGames]

Started out with my first pleasant round of Trade Route in a long time. I was the only player on the front car so I was in first place. And wouldn't you know it, I was disconnected halfway through. Fixing disconnects better be at the top of their list with this new update

It's been getting a little better for me (3 sessions out of 6 without thunder), but it has been going on for MONTHS, almost every single session, and impenetrable fog also.

 

I fear it's going to be even worse as of Tuesday.

Let us hope this Tuesday they addressed fixing other than just the new Battle Pass with a new role. If it's stable again I hope then I can actually play it again like all you beta testers have been I quit 3 months ago really, been trying to play with a friend nothing ever works longer than 30 min in a posse. His shack never functions my camp never shows up, animals vanish, etc. hope they took this extra time and used it or they just slapped this together with duct tape in that case I'll do the pass then quit again lol.

[kcole4001]

Today the time kept flipping back and forth for about 30 minutes going at first from evening to 1 PM, then going back and forth from 1:05 to 1:00 in 1 minute increments.

Then the thunder started.

Then it took 5 attempts to get any IMPORTANT!!! NPCs in my shine shack so I could do a quick mix.

That part has become quite consistent, Marcel/Maggie have not been there, so I have to exit/enter/exit/enter/exit/enter until they show up.

 

I get the distinct impression that when they test this stuff, it's not on the antiquated p2p system we are forced to use, but on a nice stable network where everything does indeed work beautifully, just like in solo or very low player count sessions.

I ditched doing dailies two months ago when I couldn't stand the thought of logging in.

 

Now the game chokes on me and freezes up.

 

What else is new...

A few weeks from now you will probably look back on losing that streak as a good thing.

The sense of freedom definitely is.

The cinematic horse auto ride system is sure great at homing on just about every NPC on their horse and crashing into them

I had like 3 f*cking crashes on a short journey from Thieves landing to Manzanita post

[TCA]

Every time I try going to Valentine and pick up the tarot card my game completely crashes. ...really?

[DentureDynamite]

^^ Oh my--now I don't feel so bad about my crashes/freezes.

 

Sounds like a trend, unfortunately.

[jazzbone]

I was going to also dump dailies a few months ago. Back when camp setup was a nightmare.
What i did was settle in to a routine of logging in at about 1:30 am every other night and do dailies for 2 days.
Often i would logg out 5 minutes past 2:am after doing 1 daily to keep the streak.
Maybe once a week, if the game is working half decent, i will play for 3 hours selling shine, hunting, and doing 8-10 dailies.

With over 1,000 gold i don't really need more, but i have lots of time to game.
Maybe the big update tomorrow will have stuff i will want to spend some of my gold on.

What platform? Heard of this on PS4, so I went and tried to repro it on PC, no success. Was able to collect the card.

 

Edit: Also just got modder'd for the first time, FFS. Was going for Nazar who is in the middle of buttf*ck nowhere and someone exploded me from thin air.

Same (PS4).

[eighthdoctor]

After weeks of very little disconnects or no disconnects, over this past week or so I've been disconnected 7 times (twice when I was in the middle of doing Stranger Missions for the dailies!). 

 

Apologies if this has been explained before but I'm only now just noticing that I'm getting one head shot killed with a Lancaster Repeater (even with the Never Without One ability card equipped), particularly during free roam events. How is that possible or is this yet another exploitive glitch or something? I didn't think the Lancaster had that much power...
