Tell me about the how you are not required to be fast and accurate to shoot someone in the face before they do the same thing to you in free aim... FREE AIM clearly requires more talent because you don't auto lock into someone, you need to actually AIM at someone and shoot, there is no praying involved. I'm inclined to think this whole "topic" is sarcasm hahahahahaha

.....well then, color me unimpressed with the whole epeen thing. Frankly, I consider games entertainment and not life accomplishments, but more power to you. .....I yield. Your button mashing skills and talent for killing virtual characters with virtual weapons and arcade shooting/aiming/ballistic mechanics are to be commended.

Much like this text, copy / pasting may have been a bad idea!

Sooooo ... I cleared a gang hideout near Lagras and went a-lootin'. Half way through, while searching a hut, the entire gang respawned around me and started moaning about the bodies on the floor!! I tried to run for cover but got riddled with holes before I had a chance to get somewhere safe. Ouch! Got ambushed by a bug! Oh well ... I cleared them out again after the respawn, and looted them for the second time

... not seeming to realise I can break out of it and shoot them in the head? Happened a few times now when they lasso me out of the blue, obviously thinking they can have fun with me, only to find they get an unexpected bullet to the brain. Have I found a rare cache of imbecilic trolls?

For those of you struggling trying to obtain max health stats, here's a really easy way to do so: buy a bow & arrows and just kill enemies, either by replaying story missions, doing gang hideouts, or killing other players (sometimes it's amusing to bring a bow to a gunfight). Each kill will either give you +10 or +15 health, but make sure you aim for the chest. If you aim for the head you'll more likely get +1 deadeye stat instead of health. Two days ago I was still at level 6 health, now I'm almost to level 10.

Auto Aim.. does 99% of the work for you. To say auto aim takes more skill than free aim is pretty funny. You are out of your damn mind if you believe any of that..lol Free aim takes no method? No strategy? No navigating the map?... It takes luck? Dafuk are you talking about? Auto aim literally seeks out targets, even if you don't notice them on your screen. And for the record, people who are highly skilled with manual aim..don't pray for their bullets to hit. They just shoot you dead..

That must have been an unpleasant surprise.

Auto aim takes more skill than free aim. You've got to remember that while I've got auto aim, my enemy also has auto aim. And if i'm not fast enough and accurate enough I will get killed pretty quickly by a good player. That fast reaction time and the accuracy it requires is not demanded in free aim. In free aim, you pray your bullets will hit. It takes no method, no strategy, no navigating the map efficiently and being quick and stuff. It literally takes luck and the right settings (deadzone acceleration etc). If a top auto aimer played a 1v1 with a top free aim player, the auto aim player would surely win by a greater margin in auto aim than he would lose in free aim. It's honestly not that skilled. People think, well its manual aim you have to do it yourself, surely that takes more skill right? Don't pretend its easy to hit a good player in auto aim either. I guarantee if you play against someone who knows how to spin and sidestep well you will not land a hit on them all game long.

Some good ones there Poggy! The Voice, and the weather effects would be so cool! - But to add even more random events, the Bar fights with people thrown out of the windows, would be even more cool!!

Here is where the Lasso is used, proper AND respectfull!!! https://streamable.com/fh0pc

I tried to submit this to the Beta Recommendations link, but it was more than 500 characters. 1. Leave PvP as it is, simply remove the player blips from the map, that would go a long way. 2. If a player kills another player, they are highlighted on the map as hostile for 5 minutes. 3. If that player kills another player during that 5 minutes, they are marked as hostile for 10 minutes with a small bounty. 4. The hostile marker and bounty goes up each subsequent crime. 5. Killing a player marked as hostile with a bounty does not mark you as hostile, in fact, your respect level goes up. This puts a consequence on senseless PvP and it allows players to exact revenge with impunity and gain some cash.

I just want to clarify something so I am not being a pain in the butt to the mods... Are words being automatically censored or is this something the mods have to actually fix? If they are being censored on their own I won't worry too much but I don't want to say some minor swears and them to force mods to edit my posts. I know how annoying that can be.

Feature Request for RDR2 Online: Having everyone shown on the map is discouraging. It creates a toxic environment for players whose main focus to piss others off by killing them repeatedly and makes it too easy to find others. Solution below. Spotting Players: How it would work: "Spotting" another player would mark them on the map for you (or everyone) to see for a limited time (i.e. 2 minutes). Introducing a player spotting system would provide the community with the following benefits: 1. Reduce the amount of unnecessary PVP by trolls who kill others while trying to do tasks, missions, etc. 2. Encourage players to "scout" enemies before engaging. People would use binoculars, scopes, etc before engaging to ensure their target is not with a crew of other players. 3. Increase the online mode's realism. 4. There would be large community support for this - many posts on Reddit would confirm this idea as beneficial for the community. 5. Encourage use of microphone/global chat vs party. Thank you! Matt Rockstar responded to me! They gave me this link to submit the feature request: www.rockstargames.com/mouthoff. They told me the more people that submit the feature the more likely they will implement the feature!

You are a gentlemen and a scholar kind sir

For those who did not see it yet, we will see an update this week!! 🙂 Adressing some of the issues we have had, and also more! This is good news!

Good to know. I was having this problem for 3 days and even contacted Rockstar about it but they never responded. I am going to see if this works for me as well.

I actually want to tell people to just send me money via PayPal now to see what they say. When you think about it though... if everyone is just giving each other cash... what is the point of it? You either end up with the same amount, less, or more. Gifts are no different. You are basically buying people things in return for things you may not want or even need so it is like we are blindly spending money for no reason other than because the fat cats trick us into believing it is part of the "holiday spirit". Grinch had it right. Spend nothing and STEAL EVERYTHING!

It's ****ing automatic, so don't ****ing worry about it! If not they probably would've booted me by now lol

....along with posses and lawmen that will hunt you down in that region. That would sure help take the wind out of the troll's sails and at least hold them accountable.

I went back in the house after you wake up by the tree, he cowered in the corner and i put all 6 rounds from Flaco's revolver in his head

You know that there is an option for it already? Go to Options -> Settings -> Display -> Online Overhead You will have 3 options there.

I would love to see the bounty system to be like in story mode. Lots of $ on your head if you go on a rampage.

What is a Western without a bar fight and someone getting thrown through a window? I don't like that when I go get drunk in a saloon then start a brawl it's only a short moment before some NPC starts shooting and the whole thing becomes a blood bath! I want it more classic cinematic Western rather than GTO with cowboy hats.

I'm come to believe that the basic economy isn't actually too bad - it just seems mega rough because of five things: 1) Gold being unable to unlock stuff early, being too hard to get, and being an obvious set up for MTs 2) Missions not paying out enough to make them worth the time - they need better rewards 3) Purely cosmetic items, like many clothes, haircuts etc. being overpriced 4) Very arbitrary level locks on stuff 5) Trolls making hunting and fishing harder than it has to be

Seasonal events - Mardi Gras in St Denis, Halloween (zombies and werewolves) in the Bayou, Christmas in Mt Shan etc Bring back the night folk Sites of interest (with journal entries?) Mexico, Cuba, Sisika Penitentiary! Ponchos, Crossed Bandoliers, satchels A voice for our character! More background music with actual songs/voices - even if just campfire songs More weather effects - shooting stars, twisters, earthquakes(?!) Bar fights where no one starts shooting, breakable table/chairs and bottles, and people getting thrown through windows!

Troll the newest player you can find? Edit: I feel I should specify that I'm joking

I reported the bug to R* and got a message back later saying it had been 'resolved'. When I'm next on I'll find out if it has or not ...

Guy's a hero

Wow - so you can go into debt. Cool ... Sorta

Especially, if its dark when you go out of the cabin, and hear a "bear" Growl... So nerve-wrecking!

Yes, I agree! though I got quite a 'thrill' last night when I went running up to a shack in the dark and ran straight into a Grizzly outside - oh boy that made me act quick!

Check these morons ...

Yeah! its a stupid move.. I always make the evil laugh, when they instantly die after trying!

When you start a session do you have your free thoroughbred with you/available? If not you have the same problem i had. I resolved it by going into the relevant menu and selecting heal horse. I have no problems now.

Just saw this post, so if any mod can delete my post!

You can steal canoes off the coast of St Denis. I tried to steal a steamboat but there's no driving compartment. Tried swimming to the big one but got teleported to shore.

No spoilers, just some new information. It's been confirmed that Arthur cannot see prostitutes or engage in any sexual activity in the game. I wasn't bothered by any of the other information (like clipping of objects), but this I have to admit is a let down. This is a game where you HAVE to eat and sleep, change your clothes based on the weather, feed and look after your horse, etc. Horses dynamically crap, their testicles shrivel dynamically, animals decompose dynamically, and there are over 80 pages of dialogue for each NPC... And yet they drew the line at sex. Arthur Morgan, your Wild West outlaw, can butcher entire towns and settlements, but will never be able to visit a brothel. Figures. It made sense for John. But for Arthur? Nah. I'm still hyped for the game, but I gotta admit I don't appreciate that they purposefully kept this from the game. It's not like it was an oversight. The game has dynamic horse pooping. This was intentionally omitted from the game. A Rockstar game. Potentially the only Wild West game of this caliber that will ever exist and your outlaw can never have sex. Murder indiscriminately, sure. Sex, nah. That's too much. I don't know if you can tell -- I'm pretty salty right now.

1. Private sessions.

Change #3 & 4 to "gold" , with separate cool downs for the bounty and the claimer (24 hours for each--you can only get a gold bounty once, or claim a gold bounty once every 24 hours--to prevent exploits gaming the system).

I hate that greaseball.

Bro, how much ya bench? Everyone knows that they didn't have powdered protein in the Old West, so to build muscle mass they had to rely on a strict lean protein diet and maxing out reps. Hydration was important too, bro, but you had to watch out for both Cholera and Dysentery. Basically, lots of campfires and boiling water. After the water was boiled you could boil chicken in it too--that's another lean protein that was widely available. Everything a bro needed to build muscle mass was provided for by the land around him. Water and lean protein, bro!

I think that's the posse leader.

Why use a glitch to make money? Most players will use a glitch to buy better gear and advantages. Guns and Horses. Many not all players that race for these benefits do it so they have an edge in PvP in a shooter game. Now by the examples I have seen in the past of games like this. Those same players will go looking for players that off doing there own thing for sake of fun. Now if you are just starting out, do you really want to have some tool that is already level 20+ and bored deciding to kill you, wait for you to respond come and kill you again and again and again and again. Eventually, that kind of PvP gets boring and yet Trolls just won't stop. They you find yourself quitting and complaining about the game and telling everyone how bad it is. Not because of the game, but because some players have no restraint. Now if you are lucky a player like myself may intervene, but then your attacker feels the same way you did, cause now I ruined their fun. So the money you gain from cheats and glitches to give you a upperhand? While others are grinding the game to death?

Does the money situation suck currently? Yes. Is it a released game? No. It is beta. So what you are saying is that rather than test the game and offer feedback about what is wrong, you will do something you consider to be exploiting in order to benefit yourself. I have no issue with that. You do you. However "before you judge me"? Bugger off, mate. You willingly exploit in a sodding beta, you are being judged. Would you like a legitimate way to make decent money? I know it is not what you asked for but I will tell you anyway. Birds. Outside Saint Denis is easiest. Herons, pelicans, loons, ducks. Anything that flies. 40-60 dollars for ten minutes work. Only works during daylight though. Exploiting for personal gain hurts everyone who plays by unbalancing the economy. Is it crap right now? Yes. So offer feedback on the beta. Tell them what they need to fix to make the game successful and fun. Don't use it as an excuse to game the system.

Just kill animals for meat --> cook it. Its really cheap

I am all for adding sex just for the sake of adding sex, in pretty much any and all aspects of my daily life. So... yeah. There's that.

I was just hoping they would be able to curb it with an aggressive bounty system but it doesn't look like that's happening. Make it so killing other players comes with a harsh bounty and hunters at every corner. Make it so continuing to play the game after committing murder is burdensome and frustrating. Zero fun and costly to erase. Rockstar doesn't want that though. Or they would have done it. Hell, they did it in single player.

I don't even have an issue with people ganking me (because it's SOOOOOOOO impressive when four guys ambush a solo player, that's some 1337 skills, right there) but this notion that everyone is viewable on the map constantly is nonsense. Even The Division learned from that mistake with their PvP area, the Dark Zone. Hopefully, R* takes note. It's 1899. Nobody is carrying a cellphone for the government to track. There aren't any spy satellites. And there's no surveillance equipment, apart from people's eyes, o I would think that unless people are in your field of vision, or part of your party, it would make more sense for them to not appear on the map or minimap unless they're making enough noise to be heard (like gunfire or dynamite).

The first half of it has to do with my choice of recreational indulgence. SCREW YOU CANADA! 😭 The second half, it is a play on my last name. I used both combined together since I was 15 for multiple usernames online and Gamertags.
