Why the hell we can't have gramophone in our camp? Like one in Dutch's tent? There are plenty of music they can use without copyrighting issues. 

There’s something deeply mesmerising about the sound of an authentic gramophone. I personally love neo-classical and the closest to such a sound irl is industrial darkwave. In RD there’s opera, but that may get a little jarring if there’s only one cylinder. I’d still take anything they throw on there if they offered a music box up in an Outlaw Pass or whatever. I still long for the day of having a banjo, guitar, jaw harp and harmonica like Cripps vibes out with. 

 

I cant put my finger on what it is, all I know is gramophones make my hair stand on end (in a good way). It’s like a real life glimpse into the past. But for Red Dead it’s just one of those newfangled music contraptions.

okay so im a little confused of how never without one works. so i have the card fully leveled. but it feels inconsistent. sometimes it will save me. and sometimes i still die in one shot by headshot. even with my hat on. does the type of hat have some sort of effect? is there some kind of glitch or counter that makes people negate it? its getting so annoying that i die even though im supposed to survive.

Coulda sworn they changed it at some point so only the part of your head covered by the hat gets protected, so like if you got shot in the mouth your f*cked, but I can't confirm something like that atm.

Correct.

Still trying to grasp why a minimum of 2 players is mandatory for story missions. Yeah, storming Fort Mercer alone or hogtieing and transporting 4 individuals seems rather dumb and unrealistic, but the mission objectives and amount of adversary could be reduced by player count. I'm just tired of awkwardly speeddating strangers to complete a mission, not excluding the idiots being AFK, clearly illiterate enough to not read the mission objective or waking up the block at 1 AM with drown out loud ass voice chat. Or perhaps you're halfway through a mission and that only teammate leaves?

 

Rockstar: ''Go f*ck yourself you f*cking clown and go back to matchmaking and start over ''. At least I'm not thrown into freemode with several minutes of loading only to enter that mission again, as with GTAO, I'll give them that.

Bro, f*** these legendary bounty missions! I'm trying to do The Wolf Man's bounty mission on a 5* difficulty and it's not even difficult, but instead filled will a bunch of crap to try and make you fail.

 

* When you do find him, you have to try and kill a good 20 wolfs before you can attempt to capture him.

 

* If I try to knock him out, it fails me because he died. I thought that you were supposed to be able to bring bountys in dead or alive. 

 

* It won't let me call my bounty wagon for no reason. I'm glad that I spent almost $900 for that crap that I'm not even allowed to use half of the time. Now I'm forced to watch him while I wait out the timer so I can actually get a decent pay day.

 

* And then they have a bear outside of the drop off to try and kill you right before the end.

And why we can´t change the difficult setting is another B&M!

 If you were on the wagon you could just laugh at the bear & the wolves.

Typical artificial difficulty garbage. Just like timers as well - if you take your time on a long ride to the search area on a regular bounty then have the timer start at 1:30 when you do find them.

Failed the Iwatka Panther mission because my horse suddenly decided it wanted to stay put and no longer move. 

You can't make this sh*t up, wtf is this game....

Lol, I'm sorry but that is hilarious after most of us have the problem with the horses dropping us like a bad habit and leaving us as bait when it comes to the big kitties.

 

In seriousness I have had my horse just go static quite a few times during the bounty hunting missions, as well.

Wasn't even because of fear, I climbed onto something and almost killed the panther because it started to run away so I chased it and after some distance while the panther was still a good distance ahead of me and not at all turning back for me this happened.

[Nerfgoth]

Hey R* where is all the limited stuff?

[ventogt]

@Nerfgoth the beans come to next month's ground breaking player appreciation monthly event for the record numbers of RDRO players.  Also free Cattleman revolvers and 2x RP on PvP showdowns - watch the newswire for more info [in a month] !!!!!

THE SCALES OF THE UNIVERSE WILL SEE JUSTICE FOR YOUR CRUELTY, MARK ME!

 

mfw I just spent 4 hours sedating, sampling and reviving about 100 animals, sedating and sampling 3 legendaries and ensuring nothing kamikaze’d me the entire time.

 

“Soo you want these samples Harriet?”

 

YOU'RE NO BETTER THAN GUS, OR THE REST OF THEM! YOU’RE WORSE!!

Lol, she hates my character too.. And I try my hardest not to kill animals, but those predators come at me in a way that I don't particularly care for. Also I can't help it if my horse's hooves tend to find as many small furry things to run over, and it's body tends to be a wall that the birds love to fly into.

I am a calamity for the animals in this game and I try not to be, lol. 

 

luckily, giver her time, she will calm down and all will be forgiven.

Tried to call a new custom outfit for my character Scholar. Apparently it's too offensive for R*. Go figure...

[sifu]

Holy moly...

 

The very moment invites for "condor egg" are sent out, I'm told to drop everything and rescue a moonshine buyer out in the middle of buttf*ck nowhere. Yeah, NO!

 

Quickly re-joined free roam and fortunately caught the invite to condor egg, just in time.

 

Wtf though?! I totally dislike those situations when free roam events' invites are blocked/don't get through because of some random sh*t forced upon you.

 

Happy end: I found the egg and once back in free roam I ran straight into a revenue agents' roadblock, where I looted a treasure map from a dead goon.

Rockstar should add more heritages and body types, it is annoying how I cannot make myself a big guy without that double chin flashing like a sore thumb

Timers are so unnecessary, I should get paid what's owed to me after completing whatever line of work, no ifs and buts, no 00:30 BS. Can't believe they make us wait 10-15 minutes to blow up a damn wagon only to get paid a lousy 30-50 bucks tops

I don´t mind the timer for payout but the timer for completing the mission should be removed! It´s no fun to do all the missions in the same way!

 

Something like this?

My guess would be it sounds too much like Cholo, so they see it as a censor bypass attempt.

Anyone else having issues getting the 3 Collector Maps used daily to work today? I've opened up 2 of them and completed both but never got the notification from the game that it acknowledged those were used or at least opened. Also didn't have my first non-player NPC enemy that I grappled to the ground work either. I have noticed as well that R* haven't bothered fixing that treasure map glitch at Cattail Pond (the one on top of the train tunnel next to two skeletons) and that glitch/bug has been in the game for months, if not over a year. Wonder if there's issues in the servers today...

Eerily creepy we both ran into similar bugs today. Treasure map guy @ Cumberland Falls. Spooked him with the firearm, he dropped the map and ran off. Picked it up off the ground - no pop up or notification. Treasure Maps not even full in satchel neither, only have about 8 currently. Grapples kept bugging out too so got into fighting in town to fix it but garnered an ‘unarmed assault’ bounty…

 

As for the collector maps used, not much help but I can never open maps I have full sets of collectibles in. I always try open my flowers map first as it’s the cheapest to use but I always have a full stack of em. Tarot cards bug out occasionally too and refuse to show me any at all, even though I only have a few of those sets at any one time. No clue as what the cause could be

I like how even with only 10 people in a lobby I still can't get any random encounters/ambushes/gang hideouts to spawn, what a joke.

 

Those are still in the game?  I haven't seen one of those in over a year.

I was able to get the O'Driscoll ambush just outside of Strawberry on Friday there but the ambushes, dog encounters etc are definitely not as common as they should be or used to be. The O'Driscoll ambushes along that curved road at Bard's Crossing that goes along to Limpany and the one along the southern road under Six Point Cabin have not spawned for a loooong time for me. At least when we had those near-solo lobbies after the disastrous 1.21 patch update, all those ambushes, random encounters, random events and the barking dogs that lead you to something actually appeared. They all seem to still be affected by sessions with over 2-3 players, yet still no word from R* about solo sessions...

I started a new character some time ago with the theme of no clutter and stuff I don't want or need, not logging in the weeks they give out free clothes and waiting out those passes so my wardrobe would only have stuff I wear. Until this week I decided to retry this game, see what's up, when I noticed those stupid tied pants were in there and I only did 3 legendary bounties, I counted. This character was level 66 and had 3 roles and I deleted him, not really because of the pants, but because of all the other stuff that's been discussed thoroughly on this site. Our time has passed friends

Eh, it's not as bad as GTA's selection since they actually group clothing colors into the same category. I hope the next GTA uses this for both SP and Online as it keeps the clothing selection cleaner with all the variants within the same jacket/etc

My reaction to the Colter Gang Hideout I had no clue existed after getting back into it this month, although more a "How dare ye camp where Morgan once walked ya irish bastards".

In fairness to this day I still don't understand how the spawning system works for gang hideouts outside of being apparently even more Line of Sight based than all of GTAV's spawning systems and being so woefully inconsistent that they are far rarer than usual. Some people claim "oh this hideout/ambush happens from X time to X time ingame day" only for it to be bullsh*t. Makes me sad that the Southern Fox's old friends at Shady Belle haven't been able to be visited by their most feared enemy in awhile. That hideout never seems to spawn anymore.

Also on top of this (image warning):
 
I found this clearly player owned horse 5 times in 5 different areas one day, the day after it the rabbit hole went deeper:







The hell has been going on in 1899 that I didn't hear about while I was on vacation? These are all player horses too that randomly showed up dead in spots.
