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.

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.

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.

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

For those who did not see it yet, we will see an update this week!! 🙂 Adressing some of the issues we have had, and also more! This is good news!

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 actually want to tell people to just send me money via PayPal now to see what they say. When you think about it though... if everyone is just giving each other cash... what is the point of it? You either end up with the same amount, less, or more. Gifts are no different. You are basically buying people things in return for things you may not want or even need so it is like we are blindly spending money for no reason other than because the fat cats trick us into believing it is part of the "holiday spirit". Grinch had it right. Spend nothing and STEAL EVERYTHING!

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

I went back in the house after you wake up by the tree, he cowered in the corner and i put all 6 rounds from Flaco's revolver in his head

You know that there is an option for it already? Go to Options -> Settings -> Display -> Online Overhead You will have 3 options there.

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'm come to believe that the basic economy isn't actually too bad - it just seems mega rough because of five things: 1) Gold being unable to unlock stuff early, being too hard to get, and being an obvious set up for MTs 2) Missions not paying out enough to make them worth the time - they need better rewards 3) Purely cosmetic items, like many clothes, haircuts etc. being overpriced 4) Very arbitrary level locks on stuff 5) Trolls making hunting and fishing harder than it has to be

Seasonal events - Mardi Gras in St Denis, Halloween (zombies and werewolves) in the Bayou, Christmas in Mt Shan etc Bring back the night folk Sites of interest (with journal entries?) Mexico, Cuba, Sisika Penitentiary! Ponchos, Crossed Bandoliers, satchels A voice for our character! More background music with actual songs/voices - even if just campfire songs More weather effects - shooting stars, twisters, earthquakes(?!) Bar fights where no one starts shooting, breakable table/chairs and bottles, and people getting thrown through windows!

Troll the newest player you can find? Edit: I feel I should specify that I'm joking

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.

Guy's a hero

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!

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

Check these morons ...

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

When you start a session do you have your free thoroughbred with you/available? If not you have the same problem i had. I resolved it by going into the relevant menu and selecting heal horse. I have no problems now.

Just saw this post, so if any mod can delete my post!

You can steal canoes off the coast of St Denis. I tried to steal a steamboat but there's no driving compartment. Tried swimming to the big one but got teleported to shore.

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!!!

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

I am all for adding sex just for the sake of adding sex, in pretty much any and all aspects of my daily life. So... yeah. There's that.

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).

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.
