I don't see the point of allowing players to have gold cores/rings if the lobbies merge so damn often you can't keep those gold things for more than a couple of minutes,

 

That is my single most hated bug, lately 

 

It does keep me killing gators until max big game meat, then make 9+ of minty/thyme/oregano big game, then

kill more gators... I also get many frogs that way, from the same area!

 

Merging lobbies I don't particularly MIND, but they should not strip you of cores/buffs.

It makes no sense when sometimes, though rarely, you quick join a PVP/Story mode thing and

are NOT stripped of gold cores and buffs! So it doesn't HAVE to happen, they just seem

to have it hard coded to do it when the lobby merges.

I did Fast Travel to Strawberry (could use Valentine too, but I don't like Valentine.)

 

Ride to that Flatneck Junction railroad tracks below Valentine.

 

5(6?) pigs in the pen; skinned what I needed to for daily, put rest in my Hunting Wagon/with skins.

Those pigs are nearly ALWAYS up, when there is a "Pig Daily", with no need to get in a solo lobby 

There is also sometimes a donkey there, to ride around on.. for no reason.

Forgot about that one but it is mostly broken in public lobbies on ps4!

I used the gold cores from camp stew as a weight management thing. I'd get overweight, make a stew and go the rest of the play time without eating. By the time my game time was done my weight would be down to perfect. Can't do that with the way it is now.

Disconnection is still an ongoing issue...

We get a non pvp/posse 7/7 day and I managed to get the Maxim kills in Lakay with a moonshine mission then disconnected as I start to loot the bodies.

Nice...

 

At least it didn't rob me of the 3 Maxim kill daily.

Then it took over an hour riding back and forth from under Bard's Crossing to the road intersection location upriver to get an ambush.

I almost gave up after 40 minutes, but these no pvp/posse days are so rare.

I usually get pigs at the just farm outside of Valentine to the west (since it's closer to a fast travel post), but last time there was a pig daily there was only 1 pig by Valentine (in a solo session, no less!), so I had to go to Flatneck to finish it.

I would have thought that a good PVP gunfight would have been more thrilling, and I was more than eager to oblige them.

 

Being as eager to shoot a player in the back after I came out of the "grab" scene as they were, I thought they wouldn't be able to resist a player sitting out in the open on their horse. I guess they didn't feel as confident as they initially were, and I wonder what changed their mind and forced them to run from the server.  

 

One of the last few times I played I really wasn't in the mood for a PVP fight and was in defensive when a player shot me dead, chased me around Rhodes on horseback on their little Morgan (I had my grey Turkoman, it was hilarious), and finally when I was trying to finish my dinner I watched them try to kill me as my character stood on the porch at the Rhodes station. Lol, so when they didn't go away I started to trash emote them and they finally got enough attention from the law and were forced out of town. Now that was a bored player!

Ya some just shoot at me when I'm using fast travel just never getting the hint... I never seem to get a normal fight though with the psychos. Ive been pushed out of passive by groups of 3 mostly then they just use explosive bullets, arrows and fire stuff. I just fall down constantly never has been a fun fight which is a shame. As much as I'm always in passive sometimes I'd like to have a gun fight if required but never the case it's always staright to explosives rounds, so realistic.

 

Granted I used it back at them with these situtations but it's crap strategy making me fall down then using fire or whatever cheap tactic. Even if I defeated them they'd just do this again together always outnumbered by atleast 3. I've had them add me and join on my game constantly too so I just block'em, if they fought me normally I wouldn't block them but those damn tryhard cowards.

[kcole4001]

Oh, and all my f*cking crabs were gone today so I had to go hunt more.  

AND the glitch where they either are just a black block in your satchel or appear with the image of something else is still a thing.

[No Homing]

Ran out of time AGAIN during the Protect LA event.

Is there even any point in joining this event anymore?

I either run out of time, everyone's too busy lassoing each other and blowing each other up or both.

No camp Fast Travel anymore?

Yes, seems to happen more to me lately.

 

Great to have the fast travel from Wilderness camp, then 

When I can't fast travel from camp, I ride off a bit and do that!

Or you get stuck on the black screen trying to spawn the camp.

Talking about Fast Travel.....They should activate Mexico and Guarma, The map we have now is beautiful....but I hope they enhance the map, going more towards Canada and Mexico, the maps are already there, but need work.

Honestly feel bad for the Youtubers who set their channel up around this game thinking it would take over GTAO. I saw a few channels pop up and they were patient. Pushing their creativity to the edge just to get any type of content from RDO and keep their channels alive.

I know Mexico will never come to the game but does anyone miss the battles with the entire lobby at El Presidio whether it was storming the fort, defending the fort or vice versa? I saw this posted on an OG RDR Multiplayer video from years back and it brought back memories of so many things in OG RDR. The random multiplayer characters (even though creating a personal one in RDO was more fun one could say?) The cheeky multiplayer “titles” above a player’s head, the multiplayer characters sarcastic one-liners after you’ve killed the person with player-cam focusing on that said player, etc...

 

“This is where one of my favourite experiences in gaming was born. A couple of years ago I joined a server where there was 2 posses which everybody on the server was in one defending the fort and one attacking. I joined the attacking side (it was an 8v8 once I joined) and made my way to the fort. It was hectic. We advanced with the aid of the Mexican army NPCs attacking the people in the fort while cannons were lighting us up. We eventually made our way into the fort and dug in. It was our turn to defend. I had the privilege of using the cannon and blowing up attackers left and right, and that’s all I can remember about that. I hope red dead redemption 2’s online will be fun and have moments like these that I can look back to and smile.”

 

followed by another fella’s reply...

I respect the type of players who enjoy the laid back experience RDO offers whether it be relaxing to a nice hunting or fishing session or just simply taking in the atmosphere within the world and steadily enjoying the game at their own pace but OG RDR Multiplayer has its shining moments at times. I like RDO online don’t get me wrong but there was just something special about OG RDR. I know it didn’t actually have the immersive hunting we see in RDO but it’s multiplayer wasn’t a “chore” so to speak.

..... which again should lead to this video

In case anyone missed it, Red Dead Online joined Xbox Game Pass today. Obviously most people wouldn't know as Rockstar hasn't even made any knowledgement of it, so yeah there's that. But I thought to give you guys a heads up, I'd expect to see somewhat a large number of new players joining on Xbox.

Here come the low level trigger happy opportunists that honestly don't care about the game but just want to aggravate those who do.

Probably lots of GTAO dweebs, who think the "King of the Monsters" idea applies to RDO aswell.Imagine seeing Mr.StayPufffed, King Kong or Kthulu suddenly appearing in Saint Denis or Valentine.....Do Rockstar really want to go that way with RDO????

Same with GTA, when you need to rely on Modders to get content you know your going down in flames.

Ranking up in this game is so tedious. I recently started playing gta online again and levels get up so fast compared to rdo. In gta online you might level up 5 in one day but in rdo maybe 2-3 if playing a lot but usually just one a day unless playing 24h. Well the double xp gang hide outs we have now for a week makes it a bit faster, but anyway still too slow.

I dont care about ranks but im trying to get up so i can get one of the special saddles. They should make it little bit easier

Collector role is the best way to rank up.

hmm okay. i always collect things if i ride past something but i dont really try to find anything or use the maps or try to get the full collection. i just sell them all when im near the gypsy lady.

[rollschuh2282]

ok, earlier i was about to complain and vent here bc i had a full trader delivery and got stuck on a rock 100m before the destination and the wagon got destroyed.
and then i closed the game after 15 sec of shock.

but i decided to load the game again and to my happy surprise the stock was all still there and i could sell it.

idk why i got to keep the delivery stock, but i am grateful

haha 15 seconds of shock... I know how that feels. had my wagon ruined a few times aswell during a big sale, so I "rage-quit" and looked out of the window with a sad expression. but then I just tried again right away, and surprisingly yes, the goods were NOT lost. I did that on several occasions, at least 3x, and always the goods were back to sell if you just close the game, and try again. a safety-net if you will

RDO is def easier to rank up because of roles, while GTA have more ways to do, in RDO depending on your will to explore and do free roam stuff, you get ranks in between pretty fast. 
 

Been playing GTA since 2015, im rank 538 there, now in almost 2 years of RDO im rank 380.

Not true. I restarted from 0 in gta online recently and went to 5 in that day just by doing couple Gerald and one Simeon mission. 

Mean while i might play more than 6 hours rdo straight doing trading, hunting, collecting, gang hide outs, story missions, and i only rank up 1 or 2. Well maybe 3 max if really really grinding.

so no way rdo is faster or easier to rank. In gtaonline I didnt almost do nothing and rank went up like rocket with few missions.

...but i wonder if it has been this fast always or have they made it easier now, i dont remember how it was back then in 2014-2018 when i played it more.

 

Also i still dont understand how some one can be rank 300+ in this came while im now only at rank 71 and i have also played since 2018 lol. Well i have restarted rank 20 character couple times so i would probaly be something 100+ if i did not do so.

I have had long breaks of the game some times too so i quess also because of that.

You must play it if not every day then most of days. I have had 2 month or longer breaks here and there and i play pretty randomly although its my favorite game.

Well. I was rank 363 on PS before PC came out and most of that was pre-Frontier Pursuit days when all we had to do was stranger missions and random events. Talk about a grind . 555 on PC - I played 12 hours or more per day. Collector did help but I didn't just collect. Doing one thing all the time would get boring to me and a lot of time me and my friends were in posse which helped a lot as far as the fun factor.
