Never knew that. I thought they were just random bootlegger missions  

 

I'll pay more attention to them in the future, then. saves me some bucks on mash.

If you fail you can't sell shine for 48 minutes I think.

You do keep your batch, I sold mine today, it was ready when the last rescue started (which I failed due to the glitch).

...but all that did was remind me just how solid my Breton is for tracking animals. Turkoman is great for getting around quickly, and I'd got it while mainly doing things like collector maps - but that just made me forget how skittish it is, and using it for trying to circle-strafe predators is a no-no...

Is the Breton less skittish around aggressive legendary animals too?

 

I'm still using the free horse I got from somewhere in the beginning (PSN?) but if that Breton will stand up to predatory animals, I might just spend the money to buy one.

Mostly - I nearly got mauled by the Teca Gator earlier, but my Breton didn't budge. Meanwhile, it did buck me off while doing a legendary cougar - and just around some of the regular cougars during the mission! It's a bit of a mixed bag, as far as I can tell - need to put it to the test, but from past experience, the Breton is beaten by the the Ultimate Edition Thoroughbred and the Shire in terms of standing firm near dangerous animals.

 

I'd basically describe the Breton as a less fearless alternative to the Shire, with the trade-off being that you have something faster and less of a big lunk for general use.

...since I have your ear...what is the most fearless horse? You also mentioned the Shire? Speed isn't that important to me, I'd rather have the most fearless animal.

Camp raids happen very rarely for me. All they try to take is supplies, not goods.

 

They take 50 goods if you are full and it fails. I was once killed by another player while I was doing my camp raid and I lost 50 goods.

A friend of mine was afking and didn't notice a raid and lost 50 goods also.

Artificial interruptions are not good gameplay, they're just annoying, that's why I hate raids.

 

But R* loves 'em.

Who thinks interrupting us from what we are doing makes good game play? Not players.

Yesterday I had moonshine buyer rescue and it was succesful. Today I also had to rescue a buyer again. Bah

 

Same with Harriet spraying us, does it make for a fun gameplay having to wait 5 mins? Not for me

Low level Criollo Dun (female) is quite brave with alligators, swims between 2 gators without bucking you off. (Level 20 Criollo is chicken).

She is/was quite brave with others too, but this Naturalist update has made all horses be chickens again due to the "Legendary animal is close by, let me chuck you off so it will be more challenging" thing Rockstar added.

Of the old horses the Brown Leopard Appaloosa is relatively brave with predators.

@Leftover Pizza this is probably more accurate than my guesswork .

Both my rank 20, level 4 bonded Bretons (and all my other top tier, level 4 bonded horses) have become p*ssies since the update.

 

They'll all buck in situations that they never would have before the Naturalist DLC.

 

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

 

The red core bug has also returned for me. Had to discard my Kladruber and Criollo to "fix" the problem.

It's ridiculous the amount of times I get instantly bucked recently, they can turn the function off in the Protect Legendary Animal free mode event so they have the ability to make it so the Horses are less skittish, but it seems Rockstar want us to fail and be mauled more often than not.

The difference since the Naturalist DLC is so noticeable that something must have been purposefully altered. I can barely stay on any of my horses around any predator post update.

That's true. My Criollo is a big chicken right now, and my golden Turk is far more skittish than she was before. Luckily my Bay Turk is still a good boy, as he is my favorite. I haven't taken my Klads, or my Breton out yet so I don't know if they have been changed any.

It's also very annoying when the predator hasn't shown up for you in the map yet but the Horse has instantly bucked you before you can react too so by the time you see the red dot and having to go through the buck animation and getting up again you have less time react so end up getting attacked more often than not. 

[Talisman_83]

I used to have the free Arabian you got with the PS Exclusive benefits when the game released, but got rid of it because it would buck at a f*cking rabbit.

Changed to the Turkoman because I figured, it looks better and may be less skittish.

 

f*ck. ME.

 

I don't know what possessed me to buy two of them (silver and dark bay) but I want to shoot both of them in the head.

Whistle and they'll casually just saunter over and stop like 10 feet away from you. Whistle again and they'll take a few steps.

f*ckin MOVE and get over here you c*nt!

Also, they will buck at any predator, even a f*cking snake.

I won't even begin to describe how much I hate the fact they will literally run into trees.

 

I really want to switch to another breed that is more stable and less of a retard, any suggestions? 

[STNeish]

The best horse for predators, at least in my experience, has been my T1 Gypsy Cob.  I named her Nanna, she's a brave girl.  I'm planning on getting the top tier one, and seeing how he does.  I'm getting the black and white one, and naming him Kratos.

[eighthdoctor]

After the clusterf*ck that Trade Route became, I witnessed some idiots in one of the Protect Legendary Animal FREs last night deliberately try to run over/bump the cougar with their horse, toss fire bottles in its direction and had someone lasso me off my horse towards the end of the event. FFS let people just enjoy these FREs without acting like an utter [email protected] and stop trying to spoil it for others...

Shire, I bought mine as soon as I had the cash and he's served me well ever since. The most he does is whinny at Snakes and as long as I calm him he's fine around Wolves and other predators.

Out of my lot, probably the Shire - I've got a bog-standard dark bay one, and while it's not great stats-wise, I'd take it near gunfights and it'd just stand there. Same with alligators - just doesn't seem to give a f***.

 

Biggest acid test I can think of is when you need to calm your horse - if they calm down straight away, then they're more fearless, while if they're still rearing up and wide-eyed, even when the "calm" turns to "pat", they're more highly-strung. That's really noticeable with the Turkoman - takes ages to calm down, and a lot of pats before it stops looking like it's just seen a ghost.

I had idiots on trade route a few days ago, never again. Was just wondering when people would start acting like clowns on protect the legendary animal event.

I've had my Kladruber (Named him Bullseye lol) for a while now and never looked back.

Weird. I rescued some travelers and the screen went black (as usual for me) before it tells you how many of them I saved. But the screen stayed black much longer than normal with the little bullet chamber on the bottom right continuing to spin. I was ready to just reboot/restart but the game finally came back. I was now in another lobby with players I didn't know. I had to get an invite back to the lobby I was just ejected from.

Well,you are not alone owning silver and dark bay Turkomans,my friend got it as well and he said the silver turkoman is the ugliest horse in the game (come straight out of hell)

 

Mostly i agree with your experience about Turkoman,i got the dark bay. The only reason i still use him because he run straight through the thick snow in full speed like there's nothing in his feet. At first i dont believe such thing but when i changed to my fox trotter he struggled.

ffs, had to rescue the buyer again today! Third time with my secondary in a row. Earlier in the day had a rescue on my main account too, but in that the buyer glitched and just cowered there.

I haven't played RDR:O since April or early May. Is it still in the same state as it was back then (boring, nothing to do unless you grind all day)?

Animal spawns have heavily improved and I suppose there's a few things to do as part of the latest DLC..

 

Not quite the answer you were looking for, I imagine..

It's a shame. Me and my mates enjoyed playing RDR:O when it came out, but I doubt I'll go back. R* really need to up their MP game, they're good with SP, though. That said, atleast GTA:O get's attention, the heists are great, especially the new casino ones. 

 

If only RDR:O got that attention instead... So I guess I'm safely assuming that there aren't any new story missions, then? What a shame. Oh well, at least the single player is good! Tbh I'd rather have SP DLC at this point, R* really f*cked up with that decision. They claim to have focused on RDR:O but tbh, they've done a really bad job with it.

Since the last update (Naturalist), they disabled session merging, so most of the time you play on sessions with 7 players max (I havent seen higher at least), and in a few minutes you easly end up alone on the session, so the game performs with lots of random events, more animals and npc’s around, while thats a good thing, if you are fond of encounters with other players you will be disappointed because the game feels like a singleplayer game now.

 

I wish R* could figure how to make the game works like this but with crowded lobbies, and add custom lobbies for the ppl who wants privates and those who wants to pvp in free roam, so lets see what happens in the future.

[eighthdoctor]

Has Eagle Eye stopped working properly for anyone else? I can only stay in EE if my horse rides at a slower pace instead of being able to go at a gallop and remain in EE (very frustrating when trying to track & keep up with the Legendary Animals).

I think they changed it, because I am experiencing the same sort of thing. Even on foot, if I move too fast it fades out quickly.

On the XBoner I've been in sessions with 10 or 11 but they seem rare. I feel they put it a limit to 15 maybe? It's strange though some times it's just me or 2 other people that's it. Then some times it's like 10 and it doesn't change the whole session, seems all over the place. I would like if it were 8 to 10 at max I agree it's like a single player game most of the time now but I've done everything in it and it's less eventful than single player.
