I might just give the next one a miss.

Whatever extra ammo pouch upgrades there will be (I forget), well, I've been living without them for over a year, so unless there's something like equivalent to the fast travel from the wilderness camp, it's a no go.

The clothes look like sh*t, the vouchers are almost all useless, you don't necessarily get your gold back, the last one was broken for a couple of weeks at the start.

Meh!

Yeah. I have so many of the blue tokens cuz I rarely see anything I want. Last one there were only 2 things, fast travel and cook multiple meat. Those 2 things weren't worth the gold but it was the only way to get them. Clothes, emotes, photo backgrounds......psh.

 

I still wonder how the satchel "sorting" thing is supposed to work. I have 30 ginseng in my main satchel, but they are sorted into 20 American and 20 Alaskan which is more than 30. Well, I have 19 Alaskan but if I try to pick another one to get it back to 20 it won't let me. So I am clueless on the benefit of the sorting stuff.

 

Maybe someone can explain it to me.

have they done something with the legendary animals? i hadn't seen one in months, now today out of the blue I've seen 3 and I wasn't looking? Not complaining but such a weird little coincidence if not.

I saw three of 'em today (well, the ? anyway: for a gator, buck, & cougar) while trying to do other thngs

I was in a solo session, though.

I didn't bother with any of them, as I was either on the way to do a mission or in the middle of one.

Yeah I don't know why they changed it up for this game because as far as I remember, in RDR1 the game split the different sage plants up in your satchel - hummingbird, red and desert sage were all treated as separate plants, which technically they are. Wonder why R* lumped the sages, currants and ginsengs instead of (in my opinion) separating them as they should have been.

I have 3 types of Ginseng in my satchel, Ginseng on its own, Alaskan Ginseng and American Ginseng. I'm wondering if the Ginseng that gets looted from NPCs doesn't isn't named either American or Alaskan. So check your satchel for the 3rd type

Same here. The main satchel is just Ginseng.

 

When I got the satchel sorting thing I got the 20 American and 20 Alaskan from my camp box. But I used one of the Alaskan ginseng somehow and now I have 19 of those but I can't get it back up to 20. If I try to pick one it's greyed out.

I bump into the Legendary Coyote constantly, since my camp is usually near it in Hennington's stead; also, other players seem to REALLY hate that area since I'm almost

always the only one there.

Yes, you have Hennigans stead all for your self .. Been camping there a couple of times, and always get attacked by wolf packs - It's fairly easy to fill Cripps at Hennigans Stead - lots of pronghorns, and they are easy to spot, as there is no tall/long grass .. But the landscape is a bit boring - only the canyon is out of the ordinary, but bandits ar lurking in there ..

 

I still prefer Heartlands east, or Scarlett Meadows north .. Often so quiet and calm .. .. Or the desert in the south (Rio Grande ?) not many predators (with 2 or 4 legs ..)

Sell them to the Doctor in Valentine or Saint Denis, when I last sold herbs for a Daily Challenge all three types of Ginseng could be sold.

Yeah, you throw a rock and hit Pronghorns; the packs of them were even still around when there were animal spawn problems.  ;)

The wolves are cool too, always easy to have some skins/big game meat/or good to perfect wolf to turn in.

 

As you say the shorter grass is nice too, since easy to chase down squirrels.

 

Another thing I notice is, I actually thought they took that "explosive supply drum" thing out of the game (for resupply, from Cripps.)

This is because you never get it in that area; I'm always getting "pick up supplies ten feet away at McFarlane's" or "save the trader(protection) drive his wagon", or "hunt a turtle/deer

in a nearby area for the wagon." The turtle one is especially nice, get turtle a few feet away from where the trader dude is by his wagon.

Makes you wonder how he rounded up the supplies since obviously he has 2 broken legs cuz he couldn't go get the turtle himself.

 

I guess that isn't any worse than Cripps not being able to kill a pronghorn or deer that's in the middle of camp.

I still get it occasionally either at the oilfields or at Limpany.

My camp is currently on the hill north of Guthrie Farm, so it's off road a lot of the way. (the only time it ever moves is if I happen to join another player using the same solo method)

Either I make a little speed and lose most of it or go super slow, still lose a lot, and take forever.

You can't take the tracks, since that's as bad as going off road through a field.

Is that the tanning fluids?  Whenever I hear him say thats what the resupply mission is going to be, I exit game and start a new one.

[netnow66]

Not really bitching and moaning about this because it's too slight--but can anyone eat the canned salmon in your saddlebag? I tried to use it to clear one of the dailies and couldn't. Neither could my friend.

That's the one, he says "tanning fluid" and "normally old drunks and explosive chemicals don't mix".

 

There is also a "tanning supplies", but that one is where you steal a bag, so it's super easy.

Yup...NOPE.  I hear tanning fluid and I won't touch that mission with your D on a 10ft pole.

[Megadeus]

So today I log in to my camp, I have Cripps prepare a high quality stew for me. As soon as I take the last sip I'm charged with murder, and lose honor.

 

Weird...

 

Later on I do a bounty mission. Tie up the suspect, take him to Valentine sheriffs office. As I walk into the building, im charged with griefing, lose honor, am taken out of defensive mode and am marked as a high hostility player.. I didnt touch or even look at anyone, and all this happens out of nowhere. Naturally people come to try and kill me as im in the middle of Valentine and marked as a red blip on minimap all a sudden for no reason. wtf.

 

And as I mentioned in the other thread, this is less than 24 hrs after three of my wardrobe outfits disappearing.

 

How hard is it to fix these dang bugs?

My thought as well

[No Homing]

Does playing an instrument in the shack cancel a buyer rescue?

Right as I sat down to play the piano a buyer rescue popped up which ended instantly.

Guess I won't be rescueing that buyer then.

[Dark Spark]

What's a buyer rescue?

 

On top of that, what's a camp raid?

 

Feels like the game is hiding parts of itself away from me, because I have never personally encountered some of these events.

 

 

PS: You can get a tanning fluid wagon mission out of Bacchus Station. The wagon is guaranteed to take damage since it's basically parked on the railroad tracks.

A buyer rescue is a moonshiner mission. A camp raid is a trader thing if you have a load of goods waiting for delivery sitting in your camp. Some things rarely spawn on full servers.

Buyer rescue: you have to ride for ages, rescue the kidnapped buyer from a bunch of revenue agents and bring him to a drop off.

You get nothing as a reward, but if you don't rescue him you can't sell shine to decent buyers (other that Bert) for a cool down period (1 game day?).

 

Camp raid: your dog comes to alert you that bandits are trying to steal your goods. You'll get the option to fast travel (for free) to your camp where you can shoot the bandits with Cripps' help as they are trying to abscond with a blue goods bag.

When they're all dead the mission is over.

I have no idea how much they take if they're successful.

 

If you're moving product as soon as it's ready you'll likely never see these things.

 

A lot of the time the buyer rescue is bugged and the buyer just cowers in a corner and won't move, so you fail the mission when the timer runs out.

I just switch sessions or close the game when that happens, I don't care if I can't sell shine for a while, I only rarely do it as it is, and the missions are s complete waste of time unless you need a bunch of NPCs to loot for a daily.

 

The camp raid is easy, it's just an interruption.

 

And the tanker wagon will explode if it loses enough fluid even from driving, not just from being shot.

I found that out the first time I did that mission over a year ago, wasn't paying attention to the blue bar around the wagon wheel icon and ran it full speed back to camp.

Didn't make it.

Because their egos are totally wrapped up in a game. IRL they are wussies.
