It is nice to hear when people have good experiences. I've had a couple in the last few games I've been roaming. Had one Monday morning when I was doing a daily challenge of take so many full carcasses to the butcher. I was tracking a dear when I saw a blue dot coning up fast but then slowed when they heard me shoot. I simply turned and waved and they waved back. Off I went hunting next thing I killed 2 more deer and while picking one up I turned round to find the dot putting the other deer that had died a few feet away on my horse. Once they saw me picking mine up they put it on there own horse. Once I got back to the butcher there they were waiting. Once I took mine off to take to the butcher. They took the other off there horse and stowed it on mine. I left the lobby and forgot to say thank you. But it does go to show there are good players on this game.2 points

Well, I don't imagine this requires its own thread because it's probably not a topic important to most people, but did Rockstar do their research on these horse breeds? Obviously, they studied them enough to know what they look like, but then you go into the stats and it seems like all they did was look at pictures. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the game so far, but I am a gamer and gamers complain. I can't see any gameplay balance reasons for getting almost every horse's characteristics and history wrong. For instance, the Tennessee Walker you start with is not a working horse or a fast horse or a particularly strong one. It's a gaited breed made for casual riding and pulling light carriages, prized for its elegant step, not work or range utility. Imagine my surprise when I bought a Morgan, the standard breed of the US Cavalry, and found it to have low health and stamina, lower than a Walker. That's ridiculous, Morgans are legendary for their stamina and resilience. I have personally seen one pull a bull to its knees by the horns, and I owned one. Best damn horse I ever had. Every pasture I put him in, he was the dominant horse, which is saying something because Morgans are so small, rarely topping 14 1/2 hands. Yet he could out-pull anything short of a draft horse, outlast any trail horse, and even out-sprint some quarterhorses. That breed is built for the sprint, their name comes from being fast in the quarter-mile, they're like horse drag racers, with enormous rocket-engine butts, and a Morgan can beat some of them. They're light enough that they can accelerate quickly, even hauling my 6'2" carcass around. I's a consequence of the inverse square law. Increasing the size of something has a direct squared relationship to how much energy it takes to move. Yet somehow, quarterhorses have more stamina in the game They absolutely do not. Riding a quarterhorse is like riding a lawnmower most of the time. They can sprint, sure, and they can canter for a couple of miles at best, but the rest of the time, you have to let that horse eat. They eat while they're walking, and they get hot fast. It's the cost of all that junk in the trunk. Cowboys used them a lot to sprint after cattle, which are comparatively slow, and they are ideal for that application. You don't want any cattle breaking away and dividing the herd, while the rest of the time, you can walk as slowly as they do. Cows graze on the move, too. I know it's just a game and you can't expect everything to be perfect. IRL, horses will not run off a cliff, or into any unbroken barrier, that's allowed so the player has to actually play the game, rather than falling asleep in the saddle, which you can do. Well-trained horses have an innate cruise control. That's what most people experience when they go on paid trail rides. The horse knows that if it follows a certain path, based on a certain set of stimuli, it gets food and rest. Couldn't care less what the rider is doing, which is why such attractions are safe for kids. This thing about breeds just seems like something that could be easily addressed and changed with only a few hours' work. I don't know much about modern programming, but I know QBASIC and I know variables. I also know other horsemen who are generally satisfied with the way riding is treated in this game, I certainly am, especially that lovely gallop mechanic. Western riding is all about moving with the horse. It's not quite the same in the game but it's close. How do you do everything so right and then screw up the simple part, Rockstar? Alright, that's the end of my little rant. I don't expect anyone to go back and do more work when it's clear that you already put a lot into this game. Maybe the modders will, if and when they are allowed. Maybe just consider this as advice for the next installment, which I am looking forward to seeing, even paying for.2 points

The little rectangle in the red crosshairs is a cabin. You will find platinum earrings, a platinum necklace, liquor, canned goods, and express ammo for your rifle 😁 and maybe even some gun oil. You can hit this once every 24 hours. Also, Braithwaite Mansion has platinum jewelry, first bedroom on the left upstairs and there are liquors in the dining room. Premium cigarettes in the living room You can only hit these spots once in a 24-hour period1 point

What's up everyone new here first post. I'm attaching an image to see if anyone can tell me what's undiscovered/missing. I'm over 98% done and I know the Social Club doesn't keep things updated very well and I may have it completed already. I've also done all the grave locations. ..could that be it? It's driving me goofy lol. I figured this would be the best place to come. Thanks in advanced1 point

Perhaps those many others are saying they are durable because, well, they are. I'm just speaking from personal experience as I'm sure those many others have as well.1 point

Yes, the icon for the last one will resolve when you reach completion of this collection. I wont spoil anything for you. As with the rest of the collection strands, you have to go see the collection giver to complete that part of the story.1 point

Right on bro thanks I'll check it out. I've noticed in videos of trying to catch it the Catfish Icon would show up in San Luis River ( I believe that's what it's called ). I don't have one there so you guys may be right. I'll keep ya posted after I check it out tonight1 point

Haven't really tipped my toes in catching legendary fish yet myself. Yet, if you did happen to catch all of them before activating the side quest. Thinking all that is left to do is find Jeremy Gills and have the games system recognize and activate the event and then it should show up. Could be wrong though just a thought.1 point

Cool username bud. Not completely sure. Yet, just looked this up think it might be "A Fisher of Fish" side-quest. Talk to a non playable character at the end of a dock around north-east shoreline of Flat Iron Lake. The character's name is "Jeremy Gill". He'll want you to catch legendary fish. There are thirteen of legendary fish to collect. Edit: or it could be "gang hideouts"1 point

Hello Zampen, Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support. We understand that you are not able to find the fishing challenge in Red Dead Online Beta. We would like to inform you that the fishing challenge was only available on the 19th of March what a joke....1 point

Find treasure maps, find the treasure, sell the treasure. Carry on looting (a lot of those loot boxes you looted before the epilogue get refilled). But mainly the treasure maps, and it's probably better to leave many of those for the epilogue and after if you really want that money. I completed the game and have about $25K or something. You don't really need a lot of money though.1 point

Welcome friend. You got some nice taste when it comes to video games. I have to ask because I ask most MGS fans this... Which Metal Gear Solid game is your favorite?1 point

Yes, as you go back to the old camp spots, you should hear dialogue from the gang members, like a haunting memory in Johns head. I was able to hear this at both Clemmens point and Horseshoe overlook.1 point

You really shouldn't be surprised when tons of people wanted and cheered for abortion being an option all the way up until birth. People pretend to value human life when it suits a narrative of an objective.1 point

I just began playing, new here, this seems as good a place to start as any. My name comes from The Marine Corps Communications Electronics School in 29 Palms. Their motto is "We train C4 warriors" with the C4 denoting Command, Control, Communications, and Countermeasures. Of course, most people just think it means I am fond of the plastic explosive, which I must confess I am, very, and so the name still works. Normally, I get two questions after this. The first is "Why didn't you pick something with 'Marine' in the name?" Well, because while only around 1% of the US population has ever been in the Corps, approximately 500% of the population has such screen names, and at least half of those are new Marines naming every single account they have that way. I would have been one of them if I had found an available one. The next question is "What were you doing with C4 if you were in electronic warfare?" The same thing I was doing driving a truck for three tours: being in charge of a platoon armory, the generator refueling crews, setting up election stations, searching houses, searching for weapons caches, mines, accompanying infantry...….you get the idea. I did whatever the Corps needed me to do, including help the other Comm bubbas make sure hat Comms were up 100% of the time, at least 80% of the time. It's not my fault if people don't change batteries, crypto, hopsets, or the ionosphere. It is certainly not my fault when people point the SatCom antennae at satellites that aren't there, or the Microwave dishes backwards. Still, Explosive Ordinance Disposal thought I was competent enough, or expendable enough, to put C4 on weapons caches, so I did. I'm pretty sure that's NOT the way they're supposed to handle disposal of firearms, based on observing them in the field. To their credit, they never let me blow up any unexploded ordinance that might have killed me if I touched it in a bad place, but they were more than happy to teach me how to place plastic explosives and detonate them. The excuse they gave me was that they were busy and bored of blowing things up, anyway. I think the real reason was that they were filling out paperwork indicating they had followed the proper procedures and wanted a fall-guy if they got caught. I hate to damage the faith civilians have in us, but a surprising amount of military professionalism consists of "Let's not, and report it like we did." Don't worry, you can still count on us 100% in a fight. Well, the Marines at least. Then most of the army. You can count on the Air Force and Navy, too, just always late and over-budget. Not that I'd ever truly look down on the other services, it's a combined-arms force. Indeed, I owe them a great deal for leaving out gear that Marines desperately need. We'd buy it ourselves, but the Navy needs money more for nuclear-powered stealth laser destroyers. They're really important for all those times when a suicide boat is attacking, but you just need to kill the one guy driving it, as his buddies were only cruising. They also have to be computer-guided, which adds expense, because the Navy doesn't do so well in marksmanship training. Just kidding. You know we love ya, squids. Sorry for the rambling, but that's the story behind my name. I've been using variations of it for almost twenty years, so it's just stuck with me, and so are y'all for the time being.1 point
