Well, people could already be providing that input for all we know. It could even be in their future plans although gambling in game with in-game currency can be a little risky if not implemented correctly. If you haven't already, I would suggest you provide your feedback on the Beta Feedback website: https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback?step=f2e50892

The point of some of these groups is to mingle, meet folks and create your own in-game posse. They don't all follow a structured format like some.

Ubi has a "State of the Game" livestream from time to time where they announce upcoming updates, issues they are working on, etc. TU = Title Update

Did you hear the State of the Game today? Just ended about 20 minutes ago. The next TU is coming 4/5.

We get it.... If you want to add / contribute to the discussion I encourage you to do so, but please don't start spamming threads with the same point over and over again. Thanks.

btw, if you like creepy and enjoy hardcore survival games, an inexpensive gem (IMO) is The Forrest. Not sure if it's on XB1 but may be worth checking out. I bought it for $19 on a friend's recommendation and it is addictive. .....tons of fun with a friend (you can play with 3 others) or alone.

No problem... I have to add.... Now that I think about it, I do have 3 characters I use. One for solo and the other two for when I play with friends which is usually 1-2 times per week. ....so my solo play is probably about 30 hours so far with around the remaining 16 hours as coop. It's kind of cool because when a friend joins, I don't mind replaying some missions they want to do, etc. It's a different experience with a team and you really need to use some basic tactics and cover in this game as the lethality has been increased (both in what you deal and take). You can also stash weapons / gear and use it for your other characters (if they are the appropriate level for those items of course).

20 hours? I've already put in 46 hrs of PvE and I just barely got to level 18 last night. After lvl 30 there is end game content, challenges you can do, etc. I know some folks have already blasted through the end-game content after the first week and quite frankly, I don't know how they do it without actually being able to enjoy the game. I thought I was making good, steady progress while still exploring and finishing off all the side missions, settlement requests, random events along the way, collecting blueprints, etc. I always level up above the requirement for the missions before tackling them where possible. .....and try to obtain the best gear. If you're like me and don't blow through games, I think TD2 would last you a while. .....and then it doesn't stop there as they will be adding more content along the way. Not at the top of my favorite games but quite fun. ....especially with a friend or two.

I know @BropolloCreed79 was playing the Division 2. I am too in fact. Days Gone is coming up quick but I have a funny feeling about that one. I just don't get a good vibe from the hype, interviews, footage, etc. .....a good vibe for me that is. I don't know..... What do you like that you've played? I'm just waiting for the Spring RDO update which I have a feeling will land in April since that is when their published schedule ended for their weekly release of challenges, etc. ....I'll still be playing other titles at the same time though as I do now.

Been playing the Division 2 myself. Waiting for the RDO Spring update.

RED DEAD ONLINE BETA: TARGET RACES NOW AVAILABLE Shoot targets while on horseback to pass checkpoints while racing and be first to finish in Target Races, today's addition to the Red Dead Online Beta. All players start out with a bow and arrow – as you race, each target you hit will increase your Horse’s Stamina – but you can also take advantage of strategic pickups along the courses. Ride through Stamina pickups to extend your Horse’s sprinting time or quickly recover from a drained Horse Stamina core. Weapons pickups dole out firearms with limited ammo supplies – use a shotgun blast to quickly and easily takeout a checkpoint target or turn that weapon against your competition. While players can lock-on to checkpoint targets, using weapons against other competitors will require proficiency with free-aim. If you’re trailing behind, ride in your competitor’s slipstream to regenerate Horse Stamina quickly and gain a slight speed boost, or if you’re defending a lead you can kick your competitors to reduce their Horse Stamina levels with a slight chance of being able to knock them down. Launch Target Races from the Landing Page menu, using the Quick Join option or riding to a Featured Series sign post. PlayStation 4 players get early access to Open Target Races, where you compete in an open space to take out all targets then race to the finish. You’re free to shoot targets in any order you wish, just keep an eye on how quickly your competition is knocking out targets and use the mini-map to know which target to hit next. PS4 players will also see the Special Series icon appear on the game map; the Special Series will appear whenever there is a PS4 early access mode and launch players directly into a series. Whether you’re shooting your way through a Target Race, helping folks in need in Free Roam Missions, clearing Hideouts, hunting game, crafting supplies, or choosing the honorable (or dishonorable) path in A Land of Opportunities, the Red Dead Online Beta is dishing out a 20% boost on all XP earning activities. You can also take off 25% from everything in the Horse Care Section at the Stables and in the Wheeler, Rawson & Co Catalogue including medicines, revivers, stimulants and the trusty brush. Higher ranked players can always upgrade their saddles with 25% off Improved Saddles. Plus, look for the latest shipments of frontier worthy clothing: Morning Tail Coat Strickland Boots Bowyer Boots (Female only) Furred Gloves Look for more additions to the Red Dead Online Beta in the weeks ahead, including new Showdown Modes Up In Smoke and Plunder, along with a big new update later this Spring.

Hi @Bristles88 and welcome to the site. You may also want to check out the Posse Directory here: https://www.rdr2.org/forums/clubs/

A 7 month old necro bump. Cool.....

That's when I stopped as well. It started feeling like a never ending battle. While my MBs, CPUs, sound cards, memory, HDDs, etc. were usually good to go for a while, it was the video cards I was replacing more often. It got to the point where I had a hard time justifying the upgrades. Just wasn't worth it. .....and as time went on the new cards required new, more powerful power supplies and new MBs with the appropriate interface. Enough was enough so I bought the PS3 when they came out and been a PS player ever since.

.....not likely.

Those "noobs" are what drive the GaaS model. Without them buying GBs for cosmetic MTXs, games like thus would be shirt lived. I'm not one to buy into it but I can appreciate those who do because they keep the games going.

Interesting..... A leaderboard without crafty cheaters, enthusiastic exploiters and / or guileful glitchers. ......yeah, never thought much of them myself.

If you're not willing to grind all over again I'm sure the option will become available at some point like it is in GTAO. Although it will likely cost some in-game money.

Not my cup of tea but glad to see the event wasn't a one day deal and some folks have been able to try it out.

It's all likely a moot point discussing this any further as the OP has been MIA since their post. ....another hit & run question from a new member.

I know. I hate it too. Just like the outfit reset bug everyone I log in.

Yes. Very common and likely just a limitation of the game (not a bug). If animals, etc. are outside of a certain range, the can despawn. The trick is to keep items within the area of the minimap if possible. .....but even in the best circumstances it could still happen at times. Could be due to how much has to be rendered at the time.

AFAIK, it's a long standing bug that still needs to be worked out.

......minor eh?

Hey there Wayne. A couple things..... FIrst, welcome to the forums. Second, I think you may have a misunderstanding that we are affiliated with R* and/or 2K (we're not). .....so when you say "you", we are not them. Just fans of the game. Also, in case you wanted to contact R* directly to voice your concerns about the game, they have a Beta Feedback site here: https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback?step=f2e50892 Again, welcome to the site. Hope you can spend some time here browsing around and perhaps even share some of your own experience(s).
