Before the Spring Update, boredom had set in and I was looking for something to do. Then it hit me: this game doesn’t offer a mode for one of the most quintessential Wild West activities. Quick Draws, or showdowns, or whatever you want to call them. Before PVP matches started in RDR, a showdown between the two teams would commence. The last players standing would have the opportunity to run for the power-ups or random weapons on the map first. I missed this aspect of the game. Now I find myself trying to gather random players for one-on-one duels in the muddy streets of Valentine, or on the dusty drag of Armadillo. It’s worked a few times. Sometimes griefers ruin the fun. But there isn’t anything quite like staring down another player, six-shooter at my side, with my finger hovering over the trigger to see who will win the day.

finally got my panther 🙂 turns out i did need another deer, but that was no problem, and now i have the biggest satchel 🙂

I don't play online because I get shot at by twelve-year olds who are faster and fiercer than I am.

Nowadays a lot of players getting bored. They react in killing everybody they encounter. Solo missions are almost impossible to cash. Was shot in the back yesterday when I entered the Sheriff's office in Rhodes with a bounty on my shoulder🤬 When I respawned he/she was vanished from the server! The number of griefers/cheaters increases lately. Nowadays I mostly try to run Role missions in daily persistent Posses.

It seems to me there is a very simple fix... limit the servers to 15 players or less

I don't know if it's a bug or not and if it is I don't want them to fix it, but I've been loving how it has become semi frequent to be placed in a solo lobby after completing a mission like a bounty hunter or bootlegger mission. I ended up in a solo lobby all night last Friday and it was glorious. There was a never ending supply of animals to hunt and I could ride around the map and do what I please without worrying about some idiot taking pot shots at me as I ride past.

Every player on my friends list spawned from a griefing encounter - kinda like you did there though, it’s all about the actual type of player each person is .... there are those grief just to be A-holes (grief and run or drop the server, posse of 5 and they see a lone player, etc) and those are the ones we all hate. After all this is a game set in the old west and it’s set up for each of us to ambush a mission; I am on my toes and will shoot first, ask questions second 😂. On the flip side I’ve been too close to someone’s mission before without knowing and they popped me, I didn’t care and would have done the same - to me that’s what makes the game fun and also why I don’t see any need for a private lobby, as there is no real challenge or threat; just my .02

This game is an absolute unnecessary crapshoot right now, my only tips (…. My advice to those trying to max trader if you get into a solo lobby, focus on high quality small and medium animals that are persistent. Sell large pelts and anything else to butcher...cash in hand is better than losing it in a crash. Also you get 1000xp on resupply, no need to give everything to cripps, you'll be level20 in no time. Personally I get solo lobby I focus on the $1.50+ birds and meat. Also, Yep it seems they either nerfed, patched the legendary bounties or it's another bug but if you try to hunt before getting the bounty most of the animals just vanish. To avoid dropping the skin thing you need to put your gun away b4 skinning but that doesn't always work, just have to pick it up. Pain in the as*. Killing all the NPCs and tying up the bounty or dragging the corpse around works best for solo lobby hunting but that kinda hard since I'm on all 5* bounties and they made them impossible for solos* I am having better but rare luck getting into solo lobbies after doing a moonshine delivery (which doesn't pay me the right amount) or mission replay on occasions. Mini spoiler 5* red ben below... Even without animal spawns everything else is all frustrating bs right now. I guess R* doesn't like to lose and whole game is bugged out mess.

Not sure if you know this. But this game doesn't have dedicated servers and it uses P2P connection. So if you don't have OPEN nat settings OR other players near you don't have open NAT. You can get disconnected. Thing is a lot of players don't understand this. And they don't care.

Lol.. A few weeks ago.. I decided to be a griefer.. I sucked at it. I Robbed a lvl 50 of his post office delivery mission. At the end , when im supposed to turn it in, I stopped and dropped it. I was in the process of telling the player that 'he can have it' and he killed me. So I had to start killing him back, then I hog tied him. I quickly sent him a PM while he was hog tied, telling him. "You can the have the bag, but don't shoot me" He then runs up to me, stops, does an emote and shoots me. Now, I now full well that its easy for a new player to shoot while doing a emote. He instantly msgs me 'SORRY was trying to do an emote"... lol After he delivered the bag, he invited me to his posse. And I watched his back for while.... So ya, I suck at being a griefer. I end up becoming friends with my intended victims.

R* seems to be to busy congratulating themselves at the moment. They claim RDO and GTA O have seen its biggest number of players ever. Totally sweeping all the issues under the rug I guess. Most of the issues no doubt stem from R* not wanting to use dedicated severs and using the P2P connection model. Which is also something thats caused massive amounts of problems with GTA O.. and still does. Dealing with R* support always.. always ends with them telling you to fix YOUR sh*t. I remember them pulling the same sh*t with GTA O years ago. But like I keep saying. At least GTA O has lobby option. I honestly can't believe that they still haven't fixed animal spawns.. or at the very least, added private lobbies. What is their ****ing problem? They claim its because they don't want to split the player bases, but the player base is split on the amount of players in a lobby anyways. So WTF are they talking about?

RDR2 Pop figures would be totally awesome.

Either way, it's reported, so if I get the ban, will at least have a leg to stand on to protest it, if that will do anything. My game experience just seems to keep going further downhill in RDR2O.

Oh boy! 25% off camp dogs. Give me some real camp protection.......Then we'll talk.

What, where... really - never seen this. Tell me... Mine is a melee focused build with duel wield sawn off shotgun with explosive ammo, high health yield on damage and always run with a belly full of stew so gold cores all day long. You jump me and you'll be stitching up your ass on the way back to your camp.

I have one of those keychain ones that came with an Alien Quadrilogy blu-ray box set I bought, but that's it. Never felt a strong urge to start collecting. I have a pretty kick ass collection of Hot Wheels, Matchbox, and Greenlight cars, though.

That is the canned response they had been sending to a lot of folks lately including myself.

another random thing that happens too is i spawn into my campfire or with my horse i drop on crips head when i travel and kill him and have to pay 4$ to heal ...

I've just had to update my Social Club name to reflect what I wanted my in-game name to be - annoying as you can only change this every 365 days. What is the point of taking the time to create an in-game name for RDR2 when nobody can see it? You should have a choice on which you want to display.

Ive been wondering this from the start too, at first I thought well can you imagine the ridiculous names that we would then see? or maybe it was to prevent inappropriate or abusive words from being displayed but I think they have a filter on that prevents that anyway, so I really dont understand. It seems like we should be able to not only make our name what we want, but change it as we see fit, as long as it is alwasy tied to our gamer tag what is the difference?

sadly no , theres some funny thing i get now and then like earlier at blackwater close to fast trvel a wagon dropped from the sky onto the butcher , horse was stuck in there , wish i was recording haha

Yeah, I thought that too when I first started. Seems to have no purpose. I named my character booger.

Agreed. Character name, rather than gamertag, should be the default, imo.

Seems you're right. I just checked the Totally Spies! channel and the comment sections on all the videos I looked at are disabled. Granted, they were mostly filled with comments about how hot the three protagonists are, but I digress. I like that show. Don't judge me. 🙉

I'll go and have a look for it. I found the camp up near Hagen where you stay initially in the single player game. I might have to give the single player a bit more time, I didn't get pats that point.
