Relax, bro, it's just a 'beta' 🤔 Kidding, of course. This thing is all over the place like a meth head checking their phone while driving on the freeway.

Merged a few posts on the same topic into this one.

Let's try to look at this from a different perspective. The game did not come with a guide on how to play it...and I'm glad for that. I'm sure there are a lot of people who hop on and think everyone they meet is a foe. That this game is a shooter. I bet you the term 'griefer', or even the concept, would be pretty foreign to them. For many (not all), I would think they'd regard what the OP has described as simply playing the game...trying to get better...giving it the old college try...never giving up. They don't really get it yet...especially being a lower level. Not everyone has gone on the internet in hopes of learning how to be a better RDO member. Obviously, there are many who also grief for sport. Those are usually much higher levels, though.

Griefers come in all forms. .....and there are more and more of them cropping up that are low level. I've been in the same boat where we have had to continually kill a low level player simply because he would not go away. We report them and block them. Sometimes it's us that have to eventually leave the session. Gets old really fast IMO as there is no challenge nor desire to continue. This may change with the new update however. With a bounty and NPC posses in the mix, they will likely have their hands full allowing victims to simply move on while they are stuck defending themselves from the law. Also, I doubt many would welcome a Feud. The darkening blip and detection won't do them any favors either as I'm sure there are those who are just waiting at the chance to take these griefers out using that new mechanic as a tool to hunt them down.

And then there was me and my posse wasting ours over at flatneck station blowing each other off the tower to see how far we could fly lol. Good times.

i use them but only on griefers. especially when i want them to go away. i use free aim and sb card so i have to time shots or i will miss. using paint it black will of course be bang on target. ex rounds and shotgun incendiary are effective too. once you craft them go and restock materials then you can craft more if needed. just hold triangle to craft anywhere

And worth every red cent.

Just finished playing for an hour In that time frame, not ONE animal, bird or fish spawned ANYWHERE! Jumped servers approximately 15 times... hell, my horse wouldn't spawn in 5 of those sessions... once I could not get on my horse and in another my horse wouldn't move. Cleared my xbox 1 cache and still NOTHING. Has anybody had this problem or know of any workarounds??

tried a few times since last night going thru several different rooms, havent seen animals. even rebooted the game. is it me or rockstar?

I'm actually shocked at his candor.

Lol so last night a friend and I were at camp getting ready to run stranger missions and an other player approached our camp and waved so we obliged and both waved back. This other player then started shooting at us from the edge of our camp ,we tried to ignore it as we were in camp. So I lowered the flag and killed him. Hoping he would go away, he did not... We then left and went on our mission. This other player followed us and kept trying to kill us, after repeatedly killing him I checked to see what level he was. He was a level 5. A level freaking 5! Lol Even though they were the aggressor I felt bad we had to run away from this level 5 so he could live. Lol Is this a form of reverse griefing? Lol had to share as we were laughing our butts off about it last night. what possesses these players, is it ego or just plain stupidity?

Yep yep. The truth will set you free ! Good call on this. Lower level grieves believe that's how the game plays and higher ranked grieves are simply bullys looking to make a name in the wild West !

Heat exhaustion happens at 99 F to 103 F, heat stroke is 104 F and above body temps. So that would be about 37 C to 39 C for heat exhaustion and 40 and above C body temp for heat stroke. Basically if you get heat stroke you're in serious danger. You're correct, outside ambient air temp doesn't have to be triple digits to get heat stroke or heat exhaustion. Just like you posted hiking in warm weather without properly hydrating will cause it. i've gotten heat exhaustion just from mowing the lawn on a hot day and not properly hydrating myself. Luckily i've never had heat stroke, yet anyway. since we're discussing it Signs for heat exhaustion - Dizziness, headaches, muscle cramps, nausea, confusion and fatigue are the most common. If you have to pee and the urine is dark yellow that's a sign of dehydration. this together with these other symptoms is a sign of trouble. if it gets worse and you go into heat stroke you'll have similar symptoms as heat exhaustion, but worse. Also your pulse will increase, breathing will increase, you may start puking, and your skin will become hot and red, and will be either dry or damp. Heat stroke needs immediate attention, hydration and external cooling of the body are a must until medical professionals can assist. Body temps at 106 F (41 C ) will cause the body to start shutting down organs to protect itself, 107 F (41.5 C ) can cause organ failure and brain damage.

You nailed it bud ! Just waiting ! Lol

Me too. We even sent him a posse invite as I thought hey maybe this is this guys weird way of trying to make friends lol no dice he was like The Terminator without the finish he just kept coming and coming...

I'm thinking a deadly mixture of both ! Lol

Haha nice try bud.no guns either.to easy with guns.

Glad this worked for you. Doesn't for me. Most times, I can't get my horse. When I do, I'm either disconnected or get stuck in the stable like you noted. No animals or NPC's either. I've submitted a ticket to R* as this game has been mostly unplayable since Feb 18 for me. Up until then, everything was running very smoothly. 😞

In 3:10 to Yuma Russell Crowe’s characters gun is called “The Hand of God” do you have names for your guns?Should we be able to name them? I call my guns ”Wrath&Greed” dual tricked out nickel plated pearl handled volcanics with long barrels. ”Bessie” my sweet sweet Bessie a tricked out repeating shotgun and ”Lee Harvey” my fully loaded Carcano rifle

I focus on the game usually. I'm trying to communicate more with other players just because a lot of them do the missions quickly. another thing that amuses me is to guess the nationality of the players from their gamertag. 😆

Only thing to do is split into 2 posse and grind story missions through from start.at least we can still chat.games bugged to the max.everyones moaning and having same issue.just gotta prey and hope they working miracles this wk.

That is the great part of open communication between players. It should also be considered that they was doing it to grief you, cause they was bored. If players don't communicate or at least try to. Many players have reasons for doing what they are doing, no necessarily good reasons, but reasons none the less.

Haha gonna love this.

Tips? Shoot them at the ground near a players feet so even if they dive they are blown to bits. Also great to kill players hunkered down somewhere.

On my 3rd playthrough, and absolutely loving it. Long story so I wont bore you with it. What I have noticed on this play through while I am more focused and less overwhelmed are all the litle things I missed previously. Uncle showing his ass around the campfire and mooning, I think Marston, I forget, comes to mind, or one of my favorites, who knew Sean and Karen hooked up? it was really funny, they got together in Marstons tent, and after a little dialogue had a very short interlude, that left Karen unsatisfied, and Sean talking about his, "Sean Jr" lol It is these moments, I moved too quickly in previous attempts to play the game to really take notice. Fishing with the guys, taking pics of the group interacting while Arthur watches from a distance can be great fun. I went out of my way to talk to everyone at camp mutliple times a day when I am there and at night, and listen very carefully to everyone that will talk to you. It is the little things that really make the game, the small details, the Agnes Dowds of RDR2, little hidden stories with clues everywhere if you pay attention, but the camp/group interactions are my favorite.

If he's on Xbox, he should report them for harassment through the Xbox Live service. No one deserves to be harassed. That's not part of the game.

I put in another ticket this morning and they got back to me real quick. They said that they are aware of the situation as many people have put in tickets on this. They are trying to identify the problem and put a fix in.

One of my favorite flavor combos is an outdoor grilled burger one of them thick meaty ones, topped with a nice stack of thick-cut bacon, melted cheese, and BBQ sauce while sipping a coke alongside it. I have not tried cola candies bacon but based on this alone, I think I would enjoy it. Meat + coke/cola = heaven.

Now I want this to be an option in game. I would have never thought to name them but now I will and I will be hoping it becomes an option in the future. Naming your horse is cool and all but naming a gun is just badass.

LOL This is a really spot on point. Maybe Rockstar is drinking from the same juice these days. I didn't notice it right away but when I did, I could not figure it out.

I am asking cause me and my gal get crap for not doing anything every year from people. Like we are a pair of diseased murderers or something. All my friends and family as well as her's nag us. They ask what we are doing and when we say nothing, it is just another day to us, we get lectured about our relationship. Surely we can't be the only couple who opts out of holidays like these!

They need a private option similar to friday the 13th the game. I cannot avoid this if people are intent on doing regardless of right/or wrong doing. It is not a game breaker by any stretch of the imagination it is more of a thorn....in my ass. Like how is this the way the team behind a game that was delayed 2x think this was the best option? They had time. They werent rushed. With an indie game I kind of expect stuff like this but R* games are always polished with a ton of money behind them. Its fine Ill man up. I was just curious if this was the "Norm"

I'm with you. A lad at work asked me what I had brought my wife. My answer was nothing. We been together 17 years in July and married 14 in July. I tell her at least twice a day that I lover her and buy her whatever she wants when she wants something. Why should I go out and buy flowers double the price they were the day before or chocolates that will be half price the next day just because someone's says I should.

i haven't done it yet, but this is from IGN, maybe it will help -

only I think this system is profoundly wrong? it does not reward the ability or the speed of the player to complete the missions ...

Also good for those slippery bastards if you don't have paint it black. Or even if you do and want to see people fly. Or knock people off something you either can't get up to or have difficulty getting to. Dynamite arrows are delicious

Good for getting the "bow kill at 100m" achievement, too.

If folks have bugs to report that are happening to them, they should be reporting them. Someone reporting a list of known bugs from the community isn't going to do anything to be honest. I've reported quite a few bugs myself that I've run across (some more than once when I've had more information about them that I thought might help), and most of them I have received a response that it is a known problem that R* is working on. How many of these will be addressed in the coming update is anyone's guess. However, please note that there is supposed to be additional details released this week regarding the update next week. I will say that I highly doubt that R* Support will provide any of those details before the official announcement is made in the release notes or however that is communicated. .....but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I don't know what good it would do to write all this now. I mean if the update is set and announced, it means they are already working on the next round of patches and updates which likely won't happen again until late March or even April.

There are few games I play more than once and even fewer I play 3 times. This will be the first game I intend to play 3 times through in many, many years. There is so much to see it is impossible to catch it all on one play through.

Hi @boone0829 and welcome to the forums. I'm going to go ahead and move this to the Online sub forum. Also, in the future you might want to keep the explanation for your topic in your post rather than the title. I'll shorten it for you. Having said that, I would also encourage you to report this problem through R* Support. I've heard a couple others reporting the same problem. https://support.rockstargames.com/categories/115001624507?redirect_lang=en_us&_ga=2.68834897.1959283164.1550521385-1719606522.1525287356

A couple of weeks ago I was riding away from lagras not galloping but not trotting either. I came up to like a set of trees or something. This lad runs out right in front of me. Not at me. it was like he was chasing something or being chased. Anyway I knocked him down but didn't kill him. I turned around to emote wave as if to say sorry. But pressed right trigger by mistake. Pulled out my bow and arrow and killed him. I felt awful.

that would make it more interesting. you could kill Micah over and over I'd suffer heat stroke with Arthur every day for that lol

I tend to do this just to avoid the possibility of the player I killed getting his gang involved. I can take on one or two guys but three or more and I am f'd in the a.

That is by far and away the biggest frustration when it comes to griefers. When my horse is empty, kill me all you want, I just pop right back in. But if you cause me to lose a perfect buck carcass or worse, a perfect cougar/panther and a couple of spoonbills, I'm going to be super pissed and will come at you with fire and fury to make you pay dearly for my loss.

Kind of meh.. This is what the hinted at a while ago. Should not take this long to add such minor changes to the game. Game needs an injection of content they are holding back for the sake of drip feeding. With free aim and and private lobbies. NPC bounty hunters? Why? Killing other players gets you a bounty? Ok then everyone will just keep killing myself over and over again after they kill players to avoid NPC Bounty Hunters. Infact I can already see friends killing each other.. Just to get bounties and then just kill the NPCs that come for it. Bounties should be put on players, by other players.... and paid to players who get the bounty. R* really needs to get their sh*t together.. Or this game won't matter anymore once they get out of beta.

Cola candied bacon will change your life. It takes a lot of work, but IMO it's worth it.

Most of what passes as "journalism" these days is anything but. 99% of what you see on a "newscast" is opinion, as opposed to fact. The internet has fostered the dreams and ambitions of armchair journalists who have access and a medium without the training and discipline of actual journalists.
