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.

Thanks to everyone who has participated in the Beta so far, we appreciate your help in testing the game! Your feedback from these early days will be instrumental in helping formulate updates to every aspect of the experience. Our current areas of focus include the in-game economy, which will require some additional balancing in order to ensure all activities are appropriately rewarding and fun, as well as some persistent bugs that are causing some players to be kicked from sessions. The game has been developed so that we will be able to quickly make any adjustments like these, and we plan to get updates out as early as the end of this week with more updates to come next week. Feedback from the community has been invaluable, and we will continue to keep you regularly updated as things progress. We hope you continue to play and enjoy the game, and please keep sending your feedback to reddeadonline.com/feedback.

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!

If you crouch, you're icon will show as grey which means no one can see you. Also, I suspect some are using the respawn feature to get out of firefights. I've spent a while examining other player's behavior on the main map. Sometimes the players disappear only to show up a bit of a distance away. .....sometimes they disappear but show up relatively close to where they were. Other times the icons seem to jump around a bit in close proximity which I can only guess is lag. On the minimap though, if a player disappears, it could be that they have crouched to avoid detection or respawned. I have a feeling some trolls may be doing that to get around their victim and to try and gain an edge. If you start running when crouching, you will be seen again. If you skin and animal, look at the catalogue, etc., you're detectable. You have to walk while crouched to get around anywhere and remain undetected.

You are a gentlemen and a scholar kind sir

This has happened to me atleast 3 times. Man do I know the feeling. 😂😂😂😂

I had something similar happen to me. I must have taken too long to kill them off cause it seemed like soon as I looted the last body they were all over me again. I didn't make it out alive though. lol

I mostly just hunt. I haven't really established anything yet but I figured this is the most fun way to earn money considering I can make it a game in my own right. Me and a buddy will set a timer and see who can hunt the most deer (or other animals) in that time frame. We will also see who can get the most quality pelts. It is a lot of fun.

I like to hunt in the Heartlands, generally the space of land in between Valentine and Emerald Ranch. It's very open and contains a lot of birds and deer, which can be very profitable if you kill a lot of them at a time. It's best to do it during the daytime because that's when the birds like to fly around. I make about $40.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst. I'm planning on a character wipe. So if that happens, then I won't be disappointed with having to start over in RDO. The beta RDO has been productive with learning how things work in it. What's the same with single player, and what's different. Does my control configuration work well against other players? Do I want to change it? That sort of thing.

But do you accept paypal or crypto? WE NEED TO KNOW!!!

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.

lol nobody, it's a WWE memorabilia item signed by The Undertaker

Haha. I've had that happen a couple times. Always cracks me up. I've had a couple people waste a lot of ammo trying to shoot me as well. Makes me think that they do not know about the camps, probably only know how to find players and troll them. Actually had a dream after the first time that they could shoot the white flag to make me attackable again, was relieved when I realized it was just a dream, cuz that would really suck.

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 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 ...

I can give the quick version.. Need to get to work. The Loft (Basement around back) North East of Grizzly (it a gang hide out) Velocity Ammo West of Annes Burg. (West from the A on the map near the river) Gang Hide Out/fort (Back room of a cabin in the fort has a basement down the ladder ) Express Ammo Gangs don't always spawn there so it can be easy too loot The farm/ranch east of Tumble Weed.. By the entrance to the barn. Horse Reviver ( So tired can't remember the name of the place..lol) Ill post pictures of the locations after.

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

I love how they get so bored that they cant troll the poor dude cooking that they turn on each other. Levels of crippling stupidity are through the roof!

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

Imagine wanting to wait, just to do that... so lame!

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!

No it's only available in that mission, revert back to an older save if you really want it but it's not necessary for 100% completion.

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

Ironically enough this is the reason I never liked wearing band shirts. So many people do and yeah that is great, you are supporting a band but you are still supporting a label. People pay extra for the name. My girlfriend is always shopping that pink crap at Victoria's Secret. The quality of the clothes itself is less than that found at Walmart but you pay $45+ for a single shirt that is basically paper thin. You have to figure though for women they are not just paying to wear a brand but for vanity sizing. A size 6 woman at Walmart would be a size 2 in designer clothes. Such a stupid concept people fall for.

Canoes can definitely be had. Tried to get to Siskin penitenary - it boot so out. Also tried to go north - auto death. But fun in a local area.

I hate that greaseball.

Yeah, the star icons are posse leaders. ......red icons are players who you are engaged with. ....little black and white crosses are dead players. .....your icon will apear grey when not visible to others (e.g. while kneeling). ......but does anyone know what the eye icon represents? I've seen that a few times where a player's icon changes into this for a moment or so.

Because YOU suck and THEY're amazing gamers. You just wish you could shoot "someone adjusting their settings and unable to see the game" with such ease! Get good!!!

Doubtful. Quantity does not equal quality.

I don't work for Rockstar. When and if they choose to ban your account you can accept that as proof. So I don't have to prove it. What I know is if they ban you they won't play the "oh we didn't know, that you realized you was cheating over and over and over." They will ban you and that will be that. If you don't care then it won't matter. I have spoke with those who got banned in GTA Online, cause they used a glitch and didn't know any better, *wink *wink. I would also suggest if you come on forums and claim to cheat, I will point it out for 2 reasons. 1st) you may actual don't realize you're cheating and can be banned for it. No refunds. 2nd) your cheating and bragging about it in the forums can lead to others doing it, which could get them banned. In turn, that decreases the shelf life of the game. Which I do enjoy playing. So if you want to brag about it, it makes it my business cause you are affecting the whole community which I am a part of. Also if you do feel a need a rulebook, feel free to look up the Terms of Service for the game. It is usually pretty general to cover their backsides legally. They may or may not doing anything, but if they do they can ban you no questions asked and with no warning.

Yesterday I was enjoying a robbery which I forgot to use mask in. Of course someone told the police and Arthur got a bounty. I was riding my horse and saw a smoke and decided to rob the guy at the camp but the dude was nice and just invited me to sit by the fire with him. As I was cooking my meal by the smell of burnt wood and warmth of fire the men tried to engage in conversation. Soon he started to ask where I am from and get suspicious about my face until he realized I’m an outlaw and kicked me out of his camp. It’s a minor detail but I love it so much. Another thing that caught my attention was when I have bought a new revolver and everybody in camp complemented me about my new firearm. Big shoutout to Rockstar

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.

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).

Maybe that works for some, but I fall in the catagory where I stop playing this and go play something else. I spend money for me to have fun. PvP or Trolling what ever you want to call it, is becoming less fun, cause most players don't care to be the best, they just want to bully others.

Could we have a Seniors Mode? I'm 68 years old and my nervous system and 56K modem just cant cope with the 14 year old griefers and the jumpy graphics. A casino on the Wapiti Reservation with a Denny's down the trail and we stay out of your way. Win/win.
