On one hand i appreciate the game adding a level of difficulty not normally attributed to something so simple as PvE. On the other, it artificially handicaps those of poor dexterity or attention in being able to complete the new content, then stifling them out of a reward if they die / fail mid-way through, due to the way the reward system is setup.

 

Not sure if these same rules apply to the perma-increasing difficulty once completed like the other telegram missions, but this in itself puts me off replaying said content. Options, people! Jeez... what happened to user preference?

 

Getting insta gib from npc with rolling block rifles isn´t fun either! Don´t get me wrong I do like a challenge but this telegram missions are us just brute forcing it with tonic spam and shotguns.... The sneak system is better here than compered to GTAO but it need rework!

 

And secondly what the hell have they done with bootlegger missions where we poisons the shine? Right now it is insta detected as soon you stand up to poison the shine!!!

It's usually the low levels, isn't it? The low levels who mistake RDO for GTAO, kill him and her, no regret. I was minding my business and rode past a posse as I was going to Manzanita Post to acquire a bag of goods for Cripps. Suddenly the idiots in that posse tries to snipe me 5 times. I got the bag, took a detour to my camp, and gave Cripps the bag. Then I got out my guns and made sure their heads got quite familiar with my bullets. Needless to say, I saw their blips vanish like Jimmy Hoffa after a minute.

I'm really bummed that rockstar is abandoning this game, I feel like there is a lot of potential, and much room to grow.

Hear hear. The Rockstar Editor being in my opinion one drop of the midnight oil, the catalyst in the pipette to allow creative content to flourish.

 

Even if everything else remained locked, that tool would have provided so much extra in terms of player engagement and interest. The (for the lack of a better term) limpdick photo mode they stuffed in last minute (and it shows, eesh) really pulls away from what is instinctively a powerful tool for players to find plenty of entertainment value in. Keeping it out (whether on purpose or by accident) i feel has weakened the external potential near 90%. I'm constantly reminded of all the impressive custom videos put out by GTA Online players and then mirror that with the black and white film grain videos that could've been here in the Red Dead Wild West. People could've made whole custom movies professionally, and with some heart.

 

Hopium that when / if they split the two (RDO and RDR2) as speculated, they finally get the chance to squeeze that in last minute. That would be... just... nice.

I will bet that the reason we didn´t get one is that a gimped version of GTA6.... Is probably what we get!

 

I think they have gone out of their way to kill the game. Everything is broken and sluggish.... Wagons don´t work, horses don´t always come when you whistle. Scenes when doing bounties don´t always plays same with resupply to camp.

I waited so long thinking one day they'd add a photo mode to online, silly me lol

[Nerfgoth]

Somehow I wish that their networking coding or at least p2p system was leaked, so they was forced to overhaul the system.

Since the last update/patch my game swapped sessions by itself a couple of times.  Even during a trader delivery.     I wish they would keep their old system that showed when people joined and left the session as well.

Yeah i didn't mean in an ungrateful way, just that it would have been so much more beneficial to include the tried-and-tested program rather than to shoehorn an afterthought in last minute.

 

Definitely glad we got something eventually, but it could've been better. That statement kinda covers just about everything else though don' it?

[awanderers1877]

Full of nostalgia thinking of this game. 

 

Havent played it (or any other game actually) in over a month which is probably the longest spell of the game I've had.

 

Thinking of when this game seemed new, the playerbase was buzzing and full of hopes for what will remain as the most incredible open world map ever. 

 

PvP posses releasing videos daily

 

Thinking horses stat actually meant something

 

Captain Baldricks' spreadsheet

 

Spawning in Valentine right into scenes that would give any Army Vet PTSDs

 

Christian Larsson dropping belters after belters on his Youtube

 

Grinding the hell out of the dailies (11bars a day) to coat every single of my weapons in full gold as it seemed to me as the ultimate sign of wealth at the time

 

PvP Cat producing incredible guides that werent whinning about Rockstar or NFTs

 

R* releasing Frontier Pursuit 

 

Replaying the Barbarella Alcazar bounty on and on as this mine in the desert is the greatest depiction of far west for me 

 

Spending 7hours a day doing full collector runs 

 

 

I dont want to go on another useless rant about R* but man what could have been if they'd given this game enough attention

I agree with many of the things you posted, I have saId to myself that once I reach 3K gold bars in this game I will not play it on a daily basis anymore, just once in while and check for potential updates.

As of now I have about 2880 gold bars.

Speedrunning the Collector run was fun at the time.   Nowadays you can spend days trying to find a specific collectible.
 

I remember very early on some people used to go to Saint Denis and execute cops by the thousands as a quick way to level up.

The hardest one of all is coins... At least we could get some rare coins in the outlaw pass. If they don´t have any big plans for RDO they could at least bring back the old way collectibles spawned...

True. The 1800 Gold Dollar is the rarest for me.   
 

They could also bring back the OG daily challenge payout.

There was that one building that we used to just perch above and shoot them as they tried to climb up, I remember so many players just hanging out there.

Of course, but they ain't going to be listening anymore.

This stable one really has be going bananas, most others I can find some way of getting around but getting locked into the livery, being forced to log out, and having to keep logging back in to a game is frustrating.

Especially when my horse keeps losing either it's mane, tail, or it has wayward pelts on it. All of that drives me bonkers, making the inability to use the stable even worse.

Try walking into the Blackwater stables on foot.  Usually works for me.  The Strawberry and Emerald Ranch ones are completely broken, haven’t tried the other ones.

Is there really no other masks in this game other than the bandit mask that costs 21 gold? Really nice to try do the daily missions as a new character when one of the tasks is to wear a mask and there ain't none. I tried using a bandana but that didn't work.

There are other masks, although they are limited time only, like most clothing / accessories. 
 

The Halloween pass had (iirc) 9 masks for 9 gold $150 each. You bought them from Nazar. 
 

 

There were also a couple masks given out during the Outlaw Pass days, but they too were limited time. You’re SOL unless they bring them back this season.

Ok, so no other masks that are available now, that really sucks. I'm not gonna spend 21 gold on a piece of clothing that covers my eyes.

The one that started it all for me was in Valentine, so I guess avoiding those three is probably the best option for the moment. I'll have to try Blackwater on foot, thanks for the suggestion!

Did the 3 kill in free mode event and all but one was tonic and big meat.... Probably cards too.....

The fact that this game doesn't have a UFO event like GTAOnline does is criminal and stupid.

 

The assets are there, the UFOs on GTAO aren't new or specially made for it, they could've literally done the exact same concept in RDO but they didn't.

Why would they do a UFO event for RDO lol something more grounded, undead nightmare-esque would be better suited for this game.

What an outlandish idea to have UFOs that already exist in the game appear as they do in GTAO.

 

Come on.

I personally woulda liked a vampire vendor like the guy from story mode handing out jobs.

 

I mean, idk what he'd have us do and idk how "grounded" it'd be to appease others but some paranormal activity over the seasonal event would've been nice, like the eerie green and red halloween weather in GTAO for instance.

[Archangelsky]

I wrote earlier that I had a problem with "taking samples" in the naturalist role did not register for me and that it created some problems in terms of dailies. I think perhaps Rockstar knows about this issue because lately "two animals revived" is featured alot in the dailies whereas "3 samples from X animal" is not included as often, I think not at all in the last 4-5 days I would say.

[Rvfae]

How did they introduce so many bugs with the September update that they still have yet to fix?
