Another bug in races where you spawns in on foot instead of on horse! It almost costed my daily! glad that people are lousy shooters in target races.....

[Commander S]

Some days, you head out from camp, and immediately get wind of a legendary buck - everything plays out like the idealised version you'd show off in a trailer or tutorial: studying/snapping it from the bushes, giving chase, sedating/sampling it, and then finally reviving it like nothing happened. 100% by-the-book stuff, and oh-so-satisfying to pull off - everything felt proper organic.

 

...and then there's the time you see a legendary gator, it swims off, so you figure maybe use potent predator bait () to get it to come over - turns out predator bait does nothing, and you just need to get lucky and hope that the gator comes back around. Which it did - because it wanted to eat my horse. And when I say the predator bait did "nothing", that's for the legendary gator - oh, it did a great job of attracting every other bloody gator in the entire state, like some horrible flashback to the Philip Carlier legendary bounty... 

[Caffeination]

why do I even bother with the moonshine shack and its infinite loading screen? am I really that desperate for gold? Rockstar didn’t fix it then, they won’t fix it now, and they won’t fix it in the future.

 

I wouldn’t be this upset if the cargo stowed on our horses didn’t disappear any time we’re booted off to the main menu. Yeah, sure, hunting wagon, I guess I could cave in and buy an overpriced tub of rotten wood because I hate losing perfect cougars, but it’s better if I avoid the moonshine business from now on if it doesn’t involve playing with or dancing to the band.

Not really a B&M, but those guys you have to rescue from predators in free roam, if you rescue them they reward you $10. The guy I encountered dropped from the tree himself and got attacked by 3 wolves. I killed the guy by accident, but was only able to loot 11ct from him.... How the heck would he pay me $10 if I did rescue him?

I escorted a caravan, this morning.

Easy trip, nothing too heavy, both wagons delivered to location and the drivers survived.

 

0.08 gold

and

 

$1.00

That's right.

$1.00

I don't have any Harriet Legendary missions available. PS4 European servers. They worked fine yesterday.

Restarted game and Playstation, still nothing. Joined friend in a different session, still nothing. Weird stuff and I need a fix soon.

Sigh

 

So this was fixed by going to my secondary account and doing the featured mission, Then they worked for my main.

 

When Naturalist came out I did the intro in Strawberry, but it kept having the yellow circle for intro available and Harriet and Gus weren't on map. I went to my secondary and did the intro there and when I came back to main it was working.

 

There are people who suddenly can't do bounties, it wants them to buy in to the role again. I am wondering if they also have a secondary account and that one hasn't bought bounty role?

 

I think the second account is responsible for all the problems with Naturalist update, somehow Rockstar changed something and the roles are somehow twisted between the accounts, maybe counted through the ip address?

 

Also, My main doesn't have Moonshiner story missions available to replay, Maggie has one of the missions available but when I do it it does nothing.

My main has 3 of the Marshall story missions counted as not done and shown on the map as yellow circle to start the mission.

My second account has none of these, both story missions available to replay normally.

None of my friends have these issues either.

 

The only other thing I can think of for the problems is that for one of the updates I was on my secondary account when the game updated. I switched accounts and it started uploading, maybe it was the update before Naturalist, the update that broke the animal spawns completely, so the update right before Naturalist?

Wow, what a night!  Two legendary animals out in the open (though, one was invisible... I could HEAR it, but couldn't interact with it), ambushes all over, rescues, strangers in distress... LOTS to do for a change!  Loving these small populations.

Did you turn them in immediately when you got there? If you wait till 30 seconds or less are left you max out gold, money and xp for the mission. You said there were 2 wagons, so you get $1.00 for the first wagon but you get more for the 2nd one. I'm assuming this was a mission from one of the post offices or those characters? If it was something else, never mind. lol

 

I always thought it was backwards to have to wait. Seems to me the faster you get it done the more you should get.

I got to be absolutely honest, but since low pop lobbies, I have nothing, nothing to B&M about, at all.

It scares me.....

You can always B&M about not having anything to B&M about!

Finally spawned the sun gator but didn’t realize it was going to be surrounded by an army of super gators and it escaped after I got attacked twice...excellent

Ah, so that's just par for the course with the Sun Gator, then? I had the same issue: you go for it, and regular gators come at you from all angles. I blamed that on using predator bait at the time, but...

 

*checks YouTube for video evidence*

 

...yep, looks like that's how the encounter is scripted:

 

 

 

 

Well, f*** that for a game of soldiers - glad I won't need to sample it again any time soon, at least...

 

[edit - checked the Teca Gator as well, and that also spawns half a dozen homing gators when you get close to it, which is just... ]

Edited September 6, 2020 by Commander S

[yeezy203]

Yup, first time I didn’t bother getting off my horse because it usually tramples the regular gators but kicked me off for the “super” gator. It ate me immediately. Then I head back guns blazing and you can’t lock on and it’s eating shotgun slugs to the face like a legendary on its own. I’m backing up only to get attacked by another that didn’t even show on radar, sun gator escapes. I have the elephant rifle now was waiting on a sale but that won’t happen again.

That sh*t will knock you clean off your feet and won't one shot a LA. It's an almost pointless weapon.

 

Used mine once and locked it away.

[Assblaster]

My first disconnect since this small lobby thing started, during a damn bounty. Oh well, can't complain too much really, one disconnect in so long a time. I've had a blast playing the game, and I've been spending all my gaming time on this game alone.

[Talisman_83]

What the actual f*ck.

 

FINALLY found the Teca gator. 

Killed it, skinned it but just as I was finishing skinning it, another alligator mauled me.

Respawned and even though the interaction menu said skin and tooth retrieved from it, it was lost.

Oh but the f*cking TOOTH is there. Just not the skin.

 

Honestly, whoever designed this f*cking system deserves to get shot.

[Shadowfennekin]

Oh look, I've seen the Wapa boar THREE f*cking times yet I have to jump through hoops, jump lobbies, do the hokey pokey just to get one I have NOT seen yet

Wouldn't mind having the Buffalo rifle from RDR1, Blunderbuss too.

What are you suppose to do when you start a Cripps resupply mission but it doesn’t actually start or show you where to go?

 It makes lunch meat, out of marauders, when defending camps.

[No Homing]

The hardcore series is f*cking retarded. Guns with only 6 bullets, and it takes 4 bullets to kill someone.

Everyone strafes back and forth at the speed of light and hipfires hoping something hits.

[Direwrath]

Is anyone else having problems with the horses not wanting to cross water when you call for them? Nor do they despawn when you get a good distance away from them. 

 

Last night I had to change my horse through the menu a few times because the one I was using did not come when called, one was left behind near Rhodes when I was chasing a darn legendary fox in the swamp and ended up close to St Denis (lol, don't ask).  And one time my horse literally stood across the river from me, I just stood there watching her run up and down the embankment when I whistled for her.

Lol, actually its either shotguns or snipers.

I think they overdid it... they should had removed items and cards, thats all. insist with auto aim, so the more precise and tactical folk win.

Why dont you make a point of handing in the cougar to either butcher, Gus or camp before setting off your moonshine stuff

I shouldn’t even need to say it, because the only reason I would keep things stowed on my horse is obviously because Cripps’ is full on material, thus these are reserved for when he runs low while I do something else. You know, like tend to the moonshiner business, and collect things, obviously.

 

And I’m not supposed to “deal” with a bug that persisted for nearly a year now, if that’s what you’re suggesting, and I’m not selling things to Gus. He rarely has gold challenges associated with him, and it’s usually just one that I can accomplish by selling feathers, while Cripps has a total of three pertaining to his business, which ranges from donations of varying animals to making money out of delivery.

I think its a new bug, experienced the horse didnt fast travel with me although i accessed the thing with it. For the crossing thing,my horse just went for the bridge.

I can't say much about the fast travel bug because I didn't use the post but yeah my poor horse went full moron and just kept running up and down as I stood across from her like what in the heck? I was on that little island in the water just north of Brandywine, near the waterfall.
