Hey folks! Just wanted to say hi and mention how much I idore this game. I'm part of a PS4 posse called the Victims of Circumstance. I record our online adventures on our own instagram profile through a mixture of Illustrated Humorous comics and screen caps. you can check it out at: https://www.instagram.com/reddeadonlineposse/ Looking forward to chatting all things Red Dead with all you fine folks here!

I don't see an issue with that but that's not to say it wouldn't be subject to review/scrutiny depending on the individual situation. Intent plays a big part in that. The main point of the rule is to address those that would use this site as a means for self promotion. .....including trying to sneak around those rules. I think Creed put it best with his post.

When this was posted, the video that usually plays at the bottom of the page was made into a pop up on the right side of the screen (on desktop). It was fixed later in the day. I believe that's what he was referring to. You're always very prompt with fixing things, keep up the good work!

I still don't understand why you can't just have one lobby for 'anything goes' and another lobby where you cannot kill another player or their horse or cause any griefing but you can fight AI cowboys or gangs, or fish and hunt, do missions together or just mess around, either on your own or with like minded players.. Surely that's the answer?

I’ve almost got all of the satchels, next on my list is a perfect panther pelt. So I go to the T-junction near Catfish Jackson’s and get pounced on as soon as I get off my horse. I lay down bait in the evening and wait. A one star cat turns up, so I leave it. Return the next night and the same happens. Next time, I creep into the woods and keep my ears and eyes open. Pounce. Dead. Pounce. Dead. I’m really struggling with bagging this one.

As I am so bad at this game, but I love the game, I've decided not to try and beat people in gunfights anymore...Now I'm going to strap dynamite around my waist and just run at them.

Panthers are really quite simple. What i do: Take the road to the area, just south east of the fallen down church the road splits. camp there till night. that will put you just south of the road into the forest. Don't bother with bait USE COVER SCENT it's a must unless you like feeding the panthers, equip a rifle SAVE YOUR GAME!! crouch walk around the camp, usually they spawn to the east and south east, sometimes you can hear them growl from your camp. I wear headphones so i can hear them growl easier Once you hear them growl, stop, activate eagle eye, search around you for the cat. If it's not a 3 star cat, load the save above and try again.

The people complaining about griefing are folks like me too. .....and I'll tell ya, we want to be able to do more than just hunt/fish/forage without having to interact with randoms. This is obviously not GTA but they could still use that game as a model for RDO in regard to private sessions which is why I bring it up. That is exactly the problem and if they ever do create private session options, you know they are likely going to borrow more than a couple things they learned from the GTA playbook. ....and btw, there is a big chunk locked behind public sessions in GTA. All of the VP and CEO activities for starters which is a huge part of what makes GTAVO fun. The issue is that you have to play in public servers with randoms to take part in any of that. Even with many of them making you contend with NPCs, you still have randoms that can be way stronger than you ruin your hard work. There is really no balance and that to me is absolutely no fun. ......and private sessions do nothing to solve that problem except exclude those players from fully enjoying what the game offers. There will never be a complete online experience in private modes if R* follows the same guidelines with RDO. This argument is going in circles though. With all due respect because I get your desire to keep Free Roam the way it is (although I don't agree), it makes no difference to me at this point to convince you of why we prefer more balance to Free Roam. What matters to me is the fact that R* has already acknowledged the griefing problem and is committed to implementing solutions that (hopefully) will help mitigate the problem of randoms who "grief and kill indiscriminately". Again, R*s description of the problem, not mine. It's clear to me that R* doesn't want RDO to be the crap show (as I believe you once put it) that public sessions are/were in previous titles. With GTA still co-existing alongside RDO, I don't see why they would want it to be. I really do think they would prefer to take a more balanced approach with RDO but no one will know for sure until this game really starts to get more content and options.

I'm not saying that option shouldn't be available. They attack you, you attack them. I just saying that isn't "anything can happen", if that is the only thing that is going to happen. I just believe if a PvP player wants to PvP, his choice of targets shouldn't always be "the Easiest Target". In a PvEvP, it isn't just suppose to be a PvP only. Otherwise, it would be called PvP. A player should be able to target whoever they want upto the point. Your fun shouldn't have to limit mine. Not in a world where we are suppose to co-exist. So the players your are defending, are out to ruin the game. You support that choice.

Ah you're talking about online. Wish people would pay attention to what forum they're posting in Could be any number of reason for online causes.

Hi @Mark4407, was it a video unit? If so, that was an error and has been fixed - sorry. Thank you very much for your feedback! Let me know if you have any further concerns!

I had a situation last night where we had just cleared out a gang camp. As we were finishing up, two players rode in. I got on my horse and took a flanking position in case they tried something. To my surprise, completely ignoring us, they started to try and loot the bodies. I immediately thought.....the nerve of these guys. A couple things..... Riding up on me that fast (off the road) I would say justifies being shot 9 times out of 10. Trying to loot bodies in a gang hideout that they had no part of in my opinion is really asking for it. Both actions break neighborly etiquette in my book and if I were alone or with some of my other friends and we hadn't already looted all the bodies, I / we would have killed them both. I guess luckily for them the players I were with were quite a bit more passive in this respect so we simply left them to dig through what was essentially nothing.

You're missing his whole point. He's not the one trying to force a "one size fits all" solution, R* is already doing that with Free Roam. There is no other alternative for PvE / co-op players right now and (more importantly) there is no guarantee that there will be in the form of private session alternatives. ....if they ever happen. As much as I hope and suspect there will be, there is simply no way to know for sure that invite-only options will materialize. They are already doing it now. .....at least for the meantime. Here's the key folks...... If private sessions do become a thing, it will depend entirely on how they are implemented before anyone can say they solve anything. The problem I see is if they use the GTAVO model where most of the businesses and related missions were locked behind public sessions. If you want participate in any of these continuing CEO/VP story missions / businesses, you have to be in a public session. Invite-only sessions are a kind of "band-aid" in the sense that they allow some level of separation from randoms but players in those private sessions will never be able to experience the whole game without subjecting themselves to public servers. R* forces this on to players if they want to participate in these activities which make up a good portion of what's fun about the game. As it stands, no one knows for sure what we will see in RDO's future. Given that fact, I can't blame anyone for complaining about griefers in Free Roam nor do I blame them for suggestion more balance in this mode. ....this one mode we have. Just the fact that R* has acknowledged the problem and is looking at ways to "improve gameplay balance" as a result (their words, not mine) tells me that they are still interested in trying to make this PvPvE experience work for all players to enjoy. .....and to be honest, that's all that really matters to me because in the end, convincing someone else it is, is really a moot point.

I got myself a nice sheep called Bessie. I like to dress her up and have picnics down by the river. She doesn't like going near the water but she seems to like the exercise.

if you have the money and surrender they take 80% of the bounty., if you don't have that much they take all you have and clear your bounty.

I usually have pretty good luck on the trail along the Kamassa river north of Elysian spring.

Go to the sheriff and surrender, when they turn hostile target them and press Y i think it is and don't move. they'll arrest you, you'll pay %80 of the bounty, or whatever money you have will be taken. then you'll be clear. Even with a bounty you can go into town. If the dotted border circle on the map is red stay away from lawmen and don't do any other crimes, but you can still go play poker and get a room/bath and whatnot.

same. I'm finding that i'm not really up for a 2nd play through. I just started chapter 6 and have everything completed except challenges and such that require access to New Austin (Legendary fish/animals, bones, etc). I'll get the 100% and call it good, maybe go back in a while and play it again but not right away. 3-5 hours a night almost every night since release and now i'm finding it hard to return to, to finish the game.

You can also go swimming to clean up. Same with the horse.

Agreed, along with a few other day 1 bugs that still haven't been adressed. For a beta there sure are little efforts shown to improve on basic persistent bugs since day 1. I have achieved my gold buckle for 1000 lvl1 horse bonds by now

I am not great at this game either, granted I haven't played much due to the server kicking me constantly and not having anyone to roll with. I also fear going into any town with a bunch of people waiting around the towns. I have a couple friends I met on here that I play with from the UK who are really awesome to play with, but I have a hard time keeping up being a level 8 and not having a lot of fire power at this point. I go on for about 3-4 hours a week...waiting for the beta to finish before I really dive into it. Anxious for the update R* mentioned to fix the griefing.

Considering the fact that Red Dead Redemption 2 is as popular as it is, it's surprising there aren't many more cosplays floating about. The setting and character design make it less difficult a subject than, say, Warcraft or Destiny with its armor design. And yet, when compared to other games less popular, Red Dead Redemption 2 cosplays are just hard to come by. That makes this fantastic Sadie Adler cosplay all the more appreciatable. Skunk, a cosplayer and part of the Skunk & Weasel duo, recently created a costume based on Sadie Adler. Sadie is one of the more prominent characters in Red Dead Redemption 2, and a central member of the Van Der Linde gang - even though she joins up at the beginning of the game. Sadie Adler. @Eosandy @RockstarGames #cosplay #sadieadler #RedDeadRedemption2 #RedDeadRedemption pic.twitter.com/F5AGYZrRAS — SKUNK the misthios (@MissSkunk) December 3, 2018 We'll avoid spoilers, but players who have finished the game know how much of an impact she has on the story. This makes it logical for her to be among the first high-profile cosplays to appear, though we're surprised Arthur Morgan or Dutch Van Der Linde himself weren't done sooner. The cosplay, complete with her iconic scarf, cowboy hat and even her typical hairdo certainly do the character justice. Speaking of Dutch, the other member of this cosplaying pair - Weasel - is working on a cosplay of the gang leader. Skunk got ready with her Sadie getup earlier, which is why we got some sneak-peek shots, but the team-up will be the real deal. Some Sadie Again? Yes ? This Lady is love. really. like Kassandra or Aloy. #RockstarGames @RockstarGames #cosplay #sadieadler #reddeadredemption photo taken by @FatalFranPhoto @frostshattered thanks! pic.twitter.com/a2NEPoBnr8 — SKUNK the misthios (@MissSkunk) January 9, 2019 If this outfit is anything to go by, Dutch will be impeccable as well, and we can't wait for the two to appear together on images. Hopefully such a quality outing will kickstart some more Red Dead Redemption 2 cosplays. After all, the game is filled to the brim with characters worth cosplaying, be they friends and allies or enemies of Arthur and the player.

I'm rank 77. I started a week after launch. I was going pretty slow until I got into my ever expanding posse (some 25 people that we can choose from or fill up a session with on a good day). The posse has made it extremely fast in getting those ranks. If one of us gets messed with the whole gang and then some will hunt you down. Even our solo members will come help.

Private lobbies are moot for me because I don't have a lot of online friends; darn few in fact. So I wouldn't have anybody to invite and necessarily need public servers. If a griefer nails me after hunting , have Miss Scarlett head for the hills with my pelts until I respawn. She is a red chestnut Arabian mare who is skittish, anyway To the victors go the spoils? Yes--if I'm in a PUBG environment or mode. Everybody out there is armed and I get my yayas from a good firefight, too. If somebody wants to engage me time and again, all the better, causing me--challenging me-- to sharpen my skills to be a badder cowboy. Just don't take away the product of 2 hours game time hunting. The disconnects happened, take their share, and give me all the frustration I'm willing to bear. As a senior citizen, gaming at this level beats the hell out of checking the local Senior/Community Center schedule to find out when the next 1-Bucket Group Denture Soak is going to convene. RDR2 and RDO allow me to focus and concentrate, challenge my motor and hand-eye coordination skills, and keep me from being out there driving too slow in the fast lane, terrified of the unbridled power under the hood of my new, 6-cylinder Ford PickemUp truck😎lol

Thanks very much. Will def post more here but the bulk of the content will be on the instagram page

Online seems a bit crazy today, poor mayor Dammidge, went to skin a wolf on some rocks and next thing we know he's flying 30 feet up and landed about 30-40 yards away. 😂 Funniest thing I have seen in a while.

Dave. You certainly have a better plan than anything I could ever have come with. If those are the parameters you are comfortable with.....go for it. But if you try to step in on my dope business......I am afraid I might have to send Charles over to your spread and have serious discussion about ethics.

Good stuff, and love the artwork. Nice way to capture your adventures.

My ideal cave would include a nice big desk with 2 or 3 large monitors. I would have my PC and console close by. I like this set up actually: It is simple and doesn't take up a lot of room.

Like the posse name and the artwork. Would love to see more of the artwork.

You and a couple others keep talking about it, and despite it's flaws, I loved TD, and now I just have to preorder TD2 for PC. Switched back to PC gaming a while back for various reasons, only playing RDR2 on xbox simply cuz it's not on PC (yet) and already had an xbone. Plus, when I made said switch, GTAO had many, many more hackers and griefers than xbox, so dont imagine RDO would be any different if they released it for PC. Also seeing a lot of people complaining that R* released Gun Rush while many other things remain broken and whatnot. More than likely, Gun Rush was already finished and in the code when the beta launched. Pretty sure there was a leak about a battle royale mode prior to beta, and Gun Rush has those parameters that were leaked. Much easier to give access to something already completed than to rewrite the code for bug fixes, reworks and such, so they released it just so that there was something new for people to sink their teeth into. I am a little upset about the beta going for another few months, but it is what it is. I was throwing dynamite and molotovs trying to kill the prisoner on the back of someone's horse once, but it was because they were just riding around slowly, not going to the objective, just wasting everyone's time... another form of griefing, simply wasting a lot of people's time by dragging things out

If you're not terribly worried about speed and stamina, there turkoman is the best option. It's great in a shootout, doesn't spook and fight you in my experience. I use the silver turkoman when I'm fighting at night because I blend in very well. I do the same with the brown foxtrotter and green/black clothes. But I generally use my silver dapple foxtrotter for most things as my play style is to be very mobile, although she sticks out like a sore thumb. It's what I used in SP. As far as temperament, they are almost even with the turk winning out. Although, I sometimes feel it varies. Because my horse will follow me everywhere even if it puts her in danger. Where as my friend's horse is hard headed lol. I am not fond of the Arabians at all. Although their stats are pretty on paper, the temperament kills it for me. I have literally ran down cougars and gators with the turk. I have noticed, as far as "personality", the Turks are very.... sassy? Lol. The Foxes are more chill. Arabians are like brat children tho. Currently have both coats of foxtrotter and the silver Turk.

Let me know when you figure it out lol

There's an inappropriate joke in there somewhere.... but I'll allow it for now.

I live in a town in Eastbelgium, which has been part of Germany and then Belgium again, so many speak german and/or french here. I got the chance to be raised by parents speaking different languages fluently (german and french), so this makes me trilingual (if i add the english language).

I found a spot for this you won't have to watch for trains. Just north of St. Denis the train tracks split, the east track goes up to Annesbury, but the west track is unused as it dead ends. You can stand on that west track and fish all day if you want. Almost all of the Lake Sturgeon weigh at least this much. And you can catch them in the swamp at Lagras with the lake or swamp lures.

It seems to work in real life for people, not sure if it would online though. If you show me how to do it I'll do the same In any case if you want to get better at shooting people, I suggest trying to go on the rooftop in Saint Denis or other spots (check the net) and start practicing headshots and other methods for killing. In the current state of the game it basically comes down to pressing the auto lock and flick the right stick quickly in the direction of the opponents head and shoot. About 75% of most encounters are who gets the first hit in anyway. I am very average in shooting, but still manage to kill quite a few people. It takes a bit of practice though.

bandana's back then weren't worn for fashion. They had a purpose. Most men in those days didn't give a sh*t about fashion and wearing patterns, or if their shirt matched their spurs. etc. The only things that mattered about a bandanna was if it matched the colors if they were in a gang, (like The Cowboys and the Wild Bunch all wore red bandannas) to keep dust/dirt from their mouths, and conceal themselves if needed. I think the masks are stupid, masks back then were mainly worn in the cities by the rich and the suck-ups to their balls and parties. Men of the wild west didn't wear masks, they used their bandannas. About the only time you'd see a mask on an outlaw was their death photograph/drawing depending on the undertaker, or if they got shot in the face/head.

if you're on xbox save the game (or if you have a save near that mission use it) then exit the game in the game menu or game management menu. Shut the xbox off for 30 seconds or so using the button on the console. restart the console, load that save and try again.

The attitude you have is kind of wrong.. Well id say the lack of attitude. Im friendly.. and will help players. I help them all the time. But in the back of my mind im always waiting for someone to attack me and that its what makes it fun. For me its.. go ahead, and make my day. One of my favorite games of all time was Diablo 2. Back in that game the griefers where called PKers. A lot of people hated them.. I LOVED them. Because they added sort of evil encounter feel to the game that was better than AI's. There was also private game options.. Same applies to RD O. R* should not dumb this game down for players who don't like conflict with others. They should add private lobbies OR at the very least Friendly Lobbies for PvE only players. I don't want R* to punish griefers or hostile players. I can do it myself. Griefing is the least important thing R* should be focusing on. They should be adding BASIC game player features and options, some of which would end griefing by default.

Players can live with being killed. When a players fill a need to attack and only attack players that aren't participating in PvP is an issue. I understand seeing a player and trying to start some PvP action, but seeing a group in a town shooting everything in sight and then deciding the those players out in the middle of no where is where the PvP action is? Come on! Seriously, to say there isn't a issue because you decide there isn't one. As you said adding those extra lobbies would actually fix the griefing, cause then players wouldn't have to partake in it if they chose not to. Having a PvEvP freeroam is tough to make cause some players are just asshats and want to force players into playing the game the way they want and say stupid crap like that's the way the way the Devs wanted it, the complain about something else that the Devs have done. Rockstar's 1st focus should be improving the PvE side, not PvP. PvP players have options and what few options the PvE players are being ruined by the griefers who don't want to PvP and claim the PvE is way too easy for their superior skills.

Not sure, I've only seen this movement near death, like a gunfight, or flying through the air when El Stupido ( my horse's name) runs into a rock or tree

Ocarina of Time So many good memories. I must have beaten this game 50 times.

100% completion requires taking 1 bath

Maybe. I think it comes down to personal preference and play style. Overall, I think the Fox Trotter is the better horse. It has a faster top speed and more stamina to maintain it. I also think they are the most calm and easily controlled horses in the game (with good stats). So if you're playing the game solo or do a lot of traveling and hunting, etc. it may be the best horse for you. Certainly my favorite for general free roam style of play. However, and this is a big consideration, if your play style is more PvP based, more protracted and ongoing gun fights and hunting down opposing posses and such, then I would say the Turkoman is the better choice by a pretty significant margin. It has the same acceleration as the Fox Trotter, just not the top speed. Which, acceleration is probably more important in pitched gun battles than top speed anyway. And although you give up some longer ranging stamina you more than make up for it in much better health so that your horse has a better chance of surviving throughout the battle. Seriously, I don't think you can go wrong with either choice. It's just a matter of which you really value more. Health or Stamina. As for the Arabians, no. Absolutely not. Skittish little ponies that everyone just looks ridiculously huge riding on.

Can we say best horse for online is Turkoman? (including all horses)

Jeesh, fine. Here's my last haul from my new pit.

Pic of my brand new pit smoker my kiddos and I put together this year. ????

I live in a small city called Posadas, Misiones province. North east Argentina. Right on the frontier with Paraguay and very close to Brazil. Really close to the jungle and Iguazú falls.

Michigan. No place fancy and a bit of a hell hole if you ask me. I want to move more out West. Hoping to do it in the next year or two.
