Npc not calling cops on other npc is boring and sedate a predator and drag it to town doesn´t make them hunt npc.....

The one that annoys me to no end is when a NPC insists on steering his horse into you, no matter how far you go to avoid them, and they get pissed at you.

Been there done that, now I just shoot them when doing deliveries and what not before they can do anything. And riders who think it is fun to park their horse across the road get lassoed and beat to a pulp...

The bugs will not be fixed. There are loads of them that have been there since day one, especially the ones caused by big lobbys which can easily be fixed by reducing lobby sizes but they won't do it, so that should tell you something. Other bugs, well, I don't think they even know how to fix them if they wanted to, but at this point it seems they've given up on RDO.

Ya I'm just say'n it lol cope because I don't play GTA even as much as RDO due to boring gunplay mechanics and the fact you cant even have fun in normal cars for the most part, but ya after GTA isn't even fixed it aint happening with this one. I wouldn't say I've given up yet on it, but probably after Christmas of this year. If there isn't anything after the Halloween and Christ CallToArms return (and then get removed) Ill probably move on for a long time just waiting for the those they'll be the only thing keeping me invested.

Im running into this problem with collector pamphlets not opening and appearing a message "You cannot use this pamphlet at this time, you need to get higher on collector role..." , so nice to read that when you're max at the role.    -_-

Si the Strawberry bug is in Blackwater too? Great!!!

Ya the only things my friends and I see it being caused by our experience is trying to play 3 Call To arms in a row it starts to happen no matter where we are. Or sometimes does it on first CallToArms if were in certain buildings or being on top certain buildings together. Could also be  a lagg thing, I wouldn't mind it since it is funny at time like Halloween spawning on top of you but when it happens it slows spawning because 2 enemies will spawn at a time on whatever player it chooses as a victim so it takes forever to finish the waves. The building combat is great when it works. We're gonna try next time to quit the game all of us and reboot it when we see it start, only thing that may fix it after but not guaranteed I guess.

So I took a mission from crazy lady to go sample a legendary cougar.  Went through the mission, and the trail led into very, very dense brush.  I'm on my horse, EVERY SINGLE TIME anything so much as breathed in my direction, it dumped me and ran off, even when I'm pressing to calm.  So, after getting jumped around 60 times by a generic panther wandering in the area, I finally managed to kill it and carried on after the legendary one.  On my way there, I was jumped another 40 times by a generic panther.  It was the same thing, over and over and over and over.  Respawn, fire once, jumped, instant death.  Repeat 40-60 times.  With the dense brush, AND at night AND the thick fog, there was NO way to even see the things coming.  More, there were NO rocks or anything for me to stand on.

 

Finally get to the legendary one, and it was exactly the same thing.  Jumped on, instant kill.  No cover, no rocks, nothing.  I even managed to hit it around 8 times with the tranquilizers, they did nothing.  Repeated that, respawn, instant killed, respawn, instant killed... 113 times.  Then it ran away, and I couldn't catch up.  Mission failed.

 

How is that supposed to be fun?  I mean seriously, you can't fight it off if it jumps on you, you can't survive if it jumps on you, and because it's essentially immune to anything you do to it, you can't AVOID it jumping on you... unless there's a rock or something to climb on... which this idiotic mission doesn't GIVE you.

 

What a waste of time.

Use S&S when on horse and it won´t buck you off! And second try to make it follow you to a shore where you stand in the water and sedate/shoot at it... If you think that is fun try the bear or moose from the crazy lady. Especially the bear takes forever to with all the tracking...

Ha! The bears are the most frustrating, thankfully slower than the cats at spooking horses in general, but yeah.

 

The funny (or not so funny) thing is sometimes after you manage to sedate an aggressive bear, it will continue trying to eat you. I end up over sedating them and they still act as if the rounds do nothing, once the reticle turns to a Red Cross and the “click-clack” sound plays. The bear STILL aggro’s me!

 

Slow and Steady is great for hostile Naturalist L.A.’s. But also, and I’m unsure if Rockstar added this post-Naturalist DLC as a countermeasure to S&S being used, is the predator L.A. frantically running around you in a circle endlessly, like a screaming child at their mother for your candy. It’s like trying to shoot at roadrunner when the ADS of Red Dead won’t move that fast even at max settings! I can’t aim for sh*t in this game, so I stay pointed in one static direction to allow the L.A. to run into my reticle and shoot when it enters it. This obviously slows the sedate procedure and requires a tier 3 tonic prior to engaging the beast, but I frequently end up barely managing to survive; usually an empty dead eye, an inevitable buck from Yulia, and if no rocks are around, a very swift death and escape of the L.A. 

 

After all the time I spent 100 percenting the Naturalist compendium I still suck at claiming legendaries. I reckon I have good situational awareness, but I feel a lot of the time the odds are stacked against you on purpose.

[Drimes]

I saw the chance of big opportunities coming to online, bank robberies, horse and cattle rustling, more collectibles, more ways of making money and definitely more things to spend money on. What does Rockstar have to show for after nearly 4 years? An unfinished storyline, an online stuck in 1898, jobs that are hidden behind timers and low payment, a nerf to some of the collections and daily challenges, a new currency that makes no sense.. It's sad, but it is what it is now. This is the hand we've been dealt, I've given up on online.

I always thought that the game was spazing out due to the horse not bucking us off! They are stacked against us just so they can sell gold. It is like sedating snakes in water and we can´t pick them up.... Or the pronghorns that runs like a formel 1 car! And if you tried to tame a wild horse you noticed that their stamina never goes down when they are running away from you!

Speaking of snakes, R* believes snakes can survive in freezing temps.

That... is actually a great idea and I'm slapping myself in the head for not thinking of it myself.  Fortunately, I now have S&S equipped, so it doesn't hurt.

 

 

Update:

So, tried this strategy, and it WOULD work pretty well, but it's really hard to hit the targets when you can't really move.  Cougars, wolves and even bears come up and stand in the horse's legs, and you can't aim DOWN enough to hit them.

Then there's the experience I had tonight, trying to sedate the Golden Spirit Bear.  That thing charged, I hit S&S, and it then ran around and around and around my horse at about warp 12.  Seriously, GAZELLES don't run that fast.  It was running so fast, my mouse couldn't scroll fast enough to keep up.  That meant hitting him once in each cycle, which meant it took so long my deadeye just ran out, even from full gold ring and core.  I mean, it takes about 50 hits to put the thing down.

 

Anyway, I tried climbing on the cage the poachers had put it in, but apparently you're not allowed to do that (or call your wagons).  So, I sniped him with scope from very far before he could reach me.  But seriously, what's up with that warp speed?

Yes, it is hilarious when they start zooming! I said earlier I think it is a bug when they can´t attack us and it makes them broken!

A couple of times now I have tried to complete the daily for collecting Capitale notes. How difficult is it to get these because I've never been able to get any and I have looted the chests and as many dead enemies as I can. Is it somehow easier to get them when doing the Jewel Blood Money missions or the regular ones for Jeb etc?

*cough* *cough* Third part of the train mission the conductor usually carrying three notes *cough* cough* (Before I got bored I always had that one ready to go.)

[VercettiGuy]

I haven't played since around Autumn last year. Although I would love to, I don't plan on doing so since there is nothing to do for me and I would have to buy the game again on the XSX.

 

But what has really left a mark on me is ... CAPITALE. I can't even read that word without dying inside. It's such an incredibly stupid and unnecessary addition and the way they forced it on us by mentioning it in every sentence is unbearable.

[Junior Lambz]

They really need new clothing in the game ffs.

Ya during Christmas those Snow Turtles blend quite well in the icy waters of the swamp I've heard they migrate from the mountains specifically at that time and eat all the normal turtles. I have lost them in the great blizzards before when trying to sample them. Also be careful of the alligators they don't move much so they tend to collect a lot of snow and if you step on one in deep snow by golly jee wizz you'll never been seen again as your pulled into a snow bank. It's crazy out there with them warm blooded reptiles. I do think they need to add an explanation to the lore soon or I'll be slightly irked I's will.

I hate races because I’m always put in the near end of one, or get asked to spectate.

Right!!

 

Believe it or not there is a warm blooded gator in this pic, he was literally covered in snow a moment before I snapped this screenshot. Caught another one off to my right just before he showed up on the map and tried to make my character dinner.

 

They blend so well into the snow covered mud, guess winter must be the best hunting season for them and all?

[eighthdoctor]

Tried to do 2 different bounties today that had 3 bounty targets in each of them to get that BH daily of having 3 living bounty targets in a photograph. Both times when those bounty hunts started, I only had one target to go after. Is this normal and are these "locked" to those of us trying to do them if we're playing alone? Very, very frustrating if so.

(Didn't want to do the Owl Hoot family Legendary Bounty again for this daily as I'm not a fan of the forced difficulty increased with each play of those!)

[LooseCanon]

Some posters show multiple targets but when it starts you have less to go after, the poster shows the whole gang but you only go after one target or whatever.

 

for the photograph daily you can do 3 single bounties and it will count, you don’t have to do 3 in one photo, just 3 in total.

You probably started an infamous bounty. Those have multiple layers to them so you go after the entire poster in parts. Just do a multi bounty from the second poster or one from the third poster that's not an infamous bounty.

 

The infamous bounty poster descriptions are written in normal lettering style where as the regular three star bounties (the one you want for the photograph daily if there's multiple targets on the poster) use all caps lettering in parts of their description.

Oi! Um Crikey? They're taking over, probably coming from the land from beyond the mountains we can't get to? Or they're coming from uh Mexico oh noes! We can't be letting those out of bounds lands dump their mutated animals. I heard there was someone in a saloon that mentioned there was a way to travel beyond the mountain boundaries, but he was mysteriously taken away while he was cleaning himself in a buddy's wilderness camp with the horse brush, never to be seen again.

Did 2 easy dailies this morning & realized I got 0 gold from them. Turned it off

Literally what is the point of freeroam bounties? They pay an insultingly low amount and don’t count towards dailies.

Best I can figure is that it’s a way for players to initiate a freeroam PvP fight without griefing.  But as with most everything else in this game, it’s poorly designed.  Land Grab from RDR1 was much better and was a helluva lot more fun.

They only daily i could get out them is the posse one (albeit finique to work) and the don´t kill daily. Before they had a fix pay like ten dollars and 100 xp both standard and roll and then they changed so it is time sensitive.

At the very best, an increase on bh xp to 1k (dont remember the max )for the gold reward.
