The PvP / PvE aspect of Free Roam is obviously a well debated topic and one that has sparked some obvious divides among some folks. All I'm saying is that we can still discuss the topics here with a level of civility without trying to belittle someone or a group of fellow members simply for sharing a difference of opinion. That only serves to incite a negative reaction in others followed by a toxic exchange. What good does that do?
Hey, I get tired of hearing some folks as well on forums for one reason or another so I just use the ignore feature and voila. .....I don't have to read their remarks. I can't really do that here because I'm a mod (I need to see what folks are posting), but I think you get the point.
All I will say about your examples of "whiners" is that in RDOs case, those folks used the feedback site R* provided to lodge their complaints and make their suggestions. ....and this wasn't a small group according R*. This feedback is the reason they are implementing anti-griefing measures for those who indiscriminately kill (using their own words). No one here is privy to all of the gameplay data, feedback, reports, etc. that R* is. .....and I have to believe they are using all of that valuable information to help drive their decisions vs. making knee-jerk choices based on the opinion of a small minority of their player base.
Look, my point is that slamming people for voicing their opinion isn't the answer. First, it doesn't help change anyone's opinion on the topic and second, it doesn't change anything with the game.
Unlike other betas on console, RDO is still in development and R* is taking feedback seriously in it's development. They have been urging people to use their feedback page to submit their own ideas, suggestions, bug reports and complaints. I've used it several times myself. If you really don't like the direction you think RDO is going, I would urge you to do the same.
Thank you sir and I will adjust my responses accordingly.

I bet theres people out there that complain about Koopa Shells and Banana peels.
"I just want a clean race'!
Lmao yes sir ! And to clear the air @Kean_1 I do love this forum and positive vibe it sets. Couple examples I'm trying to point out is = do people contact e a sports and whine that someone made them fumble in Madden ? Or contact e a because someone put them into the wall in NASCAR ? Just defending this game bro. I re-read some of my comments and can see where I came off harsh and do apologize for hurting feelings. Just don't want this to be another destiny 2. I was all over destiny 2 right up untill they chose to listen to the small group of whiners.

Seems to me that we can all share our own opinions openly and constructively without disrespectful remarks to one another including groups of people. This thread appears more like a not-so veiled insult toward a segment of the community rather than one actually making a point about the game.
If you guys really want to affect change, I would encourage you (as I do with everyone) to submit your feedback to R* here:
https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback?step=f2e50892
One of the reasons RDR2.org is such a great place IMO is due to its community, it's generally welcoming atmosphere and the overall respect for each other even when we disagree.
Not everyone is going to agree on what we would like to see in this game but I would think we could discuss it rather than trying to belittle one another. Also, it's a working beta and one where R* is using the feedback to make changes as they develop RDO. I think we can all share our opinions with a certain level of mutual respect, yeah?
Yes sir ! I would like to apologize to any hurt feelings I may have caused. Speaking for myself and myself alone I'm just getting a little tired of all the don't shoot me because I'm not here for shooting comments. Again Sorry for ruffled feathers ! Carry on.

Yes bucky.im losing my mind with the whinging.the games forcing you to teaam up and have each others back.its why i bought it in the first place.i hope rockstar do not listen to all the moaning and actually make it a bit more rough.or the game wont last in my house.free roam means FREE ROAM.i actually sympaphise with rockstar on this.for once they have made beauty for it to be pulled apart one month into BETA stage.yes they will milk us for money but aslong as i get my fun and whoever is with me has fun i aint complaing.i like the grind because again aint life just a grind for us poorer folk.get on with it.ive had the game over a month im level 77 got 81 gold bars and 6000 dollars.upgraded cards and got weapons and horse i like.from this point i will just stack away until the major updates.i never bully and will protect others if i see bullying.. The Western Avengers will carry on.this game is a moral mindfield.peoples true colours will show.let it be.just add good realistic fun content to this game and DO NOT take out the realism of the western cowboy era.
100% my friend ! And one more thing , am I to believe that half of these players never played cops and robbers as a kid ? No cowboys vs Indians ? Maybe I'm an old fart but dang I'm thinking they should stay in story mode or grow a pair ! As you mentioned it's about befriending good folk or bad , whatever your into. I've waited my entire life for something that feels authentic and now I have it. Love the era specific weapons. Absolutely love it ! Onwards and upwards my friend !

People moaning but in truth weve all asked for realistic games for years.we should deal with it.its the wild west after all.wasnt a nice place to be or survive in.if you dont like the lobby change lobbies.i dont wanna see a game where its not realistic.and pussy foot around people because they dont like the gameplay.i hate being griefed but its apart of the game.if i struggle solo to much and get bullied i just leave lobby.cant control how others play just because some get fun out of griefing.or if people decide to try rob my mission.its annoying but fun at same time.i dont grief anyone but of someone tries it i will come back at them.if i decide ive had enough i will leave.its male ego that gets in the way.i couldnt care less if another player is quicker or better than me.good for him.just move on and enjoy this beautiful game.its only gonna get so much better.i never played read dead one and this game has blown my mind.peoples moaning is whats negative and taking the fun out of it.it is a work of art only this art can be perfected.keep the WILD WEST the WILD WEST.
Yes sir ! And I find myself wondering , why do people buy a shootem up game and then b#tch about being shot ? I mean dang they need to go play Mario cart before they whine enough to ruin such a beautiful game as you mentioned. I have played rdr1 and this game here will be second to none once it's lined out ! My biggest concern is the whiners will moan and complain enough to get the game changed and then move on to a different game ! I mean honestly !! Man up or move on ! I love that others can try to steal your mission that's what makes it a wild West game ! Did the pony express ever have trouble? Of course they did ! Look it up ! Nothing was easy back then and rockstar has nailed it. So again ,if people don't want to be shot in a shooter game I hear Pac man is still available ! Enough is enough ! Stop fricken crying over being shot ! It's not costing you a gold bar every time you die. Live it or leave it !

Alright here it goes It's pretty long, hope you enjoy it, and sorry if there are any typos etc.:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Spirit Warrior known as Sacred White Bear is a young man who was born during war, and thrived on the deaths of his enemies alongside his spirit Guide known as Nola the white bear. Through his sacrifice to save his Tribe he now wanders the lands as a dead man along with The Born Brothers Gang trying to find peace and balance with his new tribe, so others may find their way during these dark times of change."
I earned my name as a boy from the Makwa Tribe. My people lived in a time of war between a rival tribe in our home known as Tall Trees.
When I was a boy, my mother was walking in the woods teaching me of the vast types of berries we had in our territory, hoping I would follow the footsteps of my father and become our Tribes Healer as I grew older rather than become a warrior as many do in our Tribe. We were on our way back to the village until I heard a growl from a nearby Bear, mother told me to leave it be and to hurry back to the village as it was dangerous. Stubborn as I was I ran to see what was wrong and there I saw it a mythical creature as beautiful as two Hawks soaring freely against the wind: a rare White Bear.
The bear was trapped in a cage, by this group of people I never encountered in our territory before. These men had skin as white as the snow. Terrified I immediately ran up to the cage and unleashed the bear to free her. These white men started to make loud banging noises from these devices I have never seen or heard before. I immediately pulled out the dagger my father gifted me and started attacking these men, the bear was savagely tearing apart the group of men. My mother stared at me with a disappointed look on her face but at the same time relieved that I was able to fight off an unknown enemy as she knew I was born to be a fighter.
As I get up off the ground body covered in blood, I looked over and see the Bear charging at me with the loudest roar anyone has heard, it shook the ground beneath me and made the trees whisper in fear.
I stared at the Bear in the eyes and showed it that I was in peace with it. As I closed my eyes expecting life to end, nothing happened. I open my eyes to find the Bear laying in front of me, hurt with a blade dug into her strong coat. I gently reach out with my hand and placed it on her forehead. I felt a strong connection with her. I pulled the blade away, it only caused a small cut as if it was nothing but a thorn.
Mother screamed as she looked off into the distance, smoke coming from our village. I looked at the White bear and asked her to be my spirit guide in battle. I charged to the village, followed by my new companion. There about 30 white men, Burning huts, and killing my tribe even the women and children. I knew I was destined to be a warrior. I engaged in battle along with my friend killing and slaughtering the group as we did earlier except we fight as if we were one. The tribes war chiefs arrived along with our great warriors to the aftermath of the chaos. They saw a fierce warrior and saw that I had the gift of loyalty from the White Bear. There they granted me the name of Wahkan Makostah.
Throughout the years I became a great Warchief leading the fight against the White men and invading tribes from the East. Countless of battles won and Lives lost. Our numbers were thinning as the White man's creations were too powerful against our spears, and arrows. I decided to find peace with the Dakota tribe who was coming into our land, as we fought off this never ending force.
That is when I found out that the Dakota tribe was being pushed out of their homes by the same men we have been fighting Against which is why they were moving west, and did not know who to trust. I spent a years time among them learning of their ways of peace and war, where I learned the white man's language with a member of their tribe who was with the US ARMY named Monroe. There I learned that everyone wanted to live in these lands and were fighting to survive.
Seeing the Dakota Tribe, struggle and allowing the Americans to disrespect their land and people all for a treaty to keep the peace. I could not allow my people to fall the same way. My companion and I were almost home when we came across a camp near our village. I snuck into their camp to see almost 100 men with bigger guns, and carriages. I knew I could not fight them alone. We retreated.
Once in my village I told the Chief and my father what I encountered. The War Chiefs wanted to stay and fight, my father knew of a place up North where they would not be able to follow. As much as I wanted to defend our home, I knew we were fighting a losing war, our numbers diminishing there were just too many of them. I agreed with father as I've witnessed many deaths, and I knew my spirit guide was tired of fighting, she deserved peace in her life. I wanted nothing more than for my mother, father, wife with child and tribe to live in peace and prosper.
As my village was packing to leave, the Army ambushed us in a surprise attack, leaving no time I told the Chief to leave, along with the Tribe. I asked my bear to go with them for protection. They begged me to stay but I told them that as a strong spirit warrior I was unable to retreat from this battle until my people were safe, that if I fall may the many generations hear of my story. I will either die or live on as a Legend to inspire the Makwa Tribe. I told my wife to give my son or daughter their name the same way I earned mine (Reference to my character in Red Dead 1 “Brave Buffalo”), I kissed her goodbye, and I Thanked my spirit animal for her loyalty and the opportunity to share a love that was unbreakable.
The men charged at me, I fought them off with several traps in our home, once They were done I had to attack with arrows and poisoned hatchets. I went in accepting death, I just needed to hold them off until I knew my people were safe. As the insides and decapitated bodies of my enemies filled the floors, one of the men shot my arm with a revolver, I stopped as I have never been hit before, I gaze upon my own blood for the first time, as another bullet hit me in the chest followed by another I looked up in the cloudy sky laughing as it began to pour rain. I raged on killing the two men. As I grew weak I fell to my knees I saw the signal from my people and the fierce roar from my companion indicating they were safe.
With no energy left a man with a sword approached me, swinging to finish me off, I heard a roaring sound of water filling the dried River. The man with the sword flinched as he turned slicing the side of my face deep. He was knocked down by the current barely missing me. All the Army men retreated and I could no longer keep my eyes open, I fade away feeling satisfied.
I awake to find a Man who's name is Uncas, he reveals to me that he disassembled the Dam unleashing the force that was withheld from the waterfalls. I thank him as he healed my wounds and took care of me. He spoke of hearing the legend of White Bear and that I was needed. I refused as I had to make sure the leader of the group of Army men would not follow my people. Uncas said he had a gift for me, but that I could only receive it if I listened to what he needed to say. He was mysterious and curiosity got the best of me. I agreed.
Uncas told me that the same is happening to all tribes from the lands that surround us, and that not all tribes were lucky enough to escape, he had a grim and saddened expression; I could tell he had experienced great loss. I was needed to not fight the White men, but to help others from all types of tribes and people to survive in this world. That I was needed to help guide others who wish to help Uncas mission and those who wished to call our group home and be part of a family. I did not fully understand what he was speaking of but I was still hearing him. He continued to say that “times were changing and that I may not fully understand what I am hearing but as time goes on all with make sense brother”.
I refused as I could not leave my tribe to fight off the following Army men, he chuckled and dragged out the Man with the Sword. Uncas said to me “not only did I release the waterfalls to save you, I also did it to kill off the entire group of men that were left standing. The Only survivor was their leader known as Colonel Grimshaw” he told me that my tribes safety would be guaranteed once Grimshaw was dead as no one would know which way they went. That once the life escaped from his body I must release all of the hatred, vengeance, and bloodlust within me and continue on. He was very wise, as I turn to the Colonel I rub my wounded face and fed my blood to him, I told him that “I may let go of my bloodlust for you on this night, but it will follow you in the afterlife”, as I slit his throat with my gifted dagger.
Uncas gave me an option now that my family was safe, I either go back to them and Live in Peace as I wish them to be, or become a ghost and allow them to tell tales of me and my legends of sacrifice in order to help others less fortunate than us. I believed in his cause and wanted to see what the future holds for us and this journey of ours. I saw that he had lost everything but he continued to accept others who are different and wanted to help those who needed a family of their own using a balanced mind of war and peace. I owed Uncas not only for saving me, but also for guaranteeing the safety of my people.
I accepted his offer and told him I would never leave his side until my last breath. That we will honor our people and allow others to have a home. He stood up away from the fire and told me it was time to go, that it was time to meet his right hand man who is named Chesmu where we must discuss your place with us. Chesmu was well educated and had a great amount of knowledge, he welcomed me with open arms and was glad that the great White Bear Wahkan Makostah joined his family.
They are my brothers and on this day of blood, battle, sacrifice and acceptance we are Born Brothers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
as you can see its pretty long, but It explains my characters life before the world of RDR online, and how I ended up with The Born Brothers Gang (Uncas and Chesmu). I definitely hope they add in a Bear mount someday lol.

So I just spent over an hour playing Online mode and the entire time either the orange quests would not start after accepting them or I would get booted before finishing by Online error code. And the most frustrating thing was I was charged a $2.00 Camp Upkeep Fee. That's over an hour of play with no progress and lost money. WHEN will these things be fixed?
Couple things we do is when starting a mission make sure your posse members are 40 or 50 yards from the mission giver ,also keep holding L2 untill the narative is done. Works for us and sometimes it takes a few seconds to kick in but always does. Hope this helps.

Just using your name as an example but you get the idea. I change my posse name all the time depending on mood whenever I'm playing solo so I can display info to others. (most probably never notice but some do).
Gold !! Pure gold !!!

Also, the reason I dont join your posse "for security reasons " is so whenever I DO have to kill someone to defend you, you do not show up as a hostile enemy to the griefers or their posse. A few have asked and I didnt exactly state why.
You have really thought this out ! Well done and I'm excited to ride with you !
Its suppose to be a realistic game.thats what we got.let people play there own way.
