I'm going to go ahead and merge both threads on this topic together. Thanks for the update Burbon. That's good news that they are aware of the issue and folks are reporting on it. To All, I would again encourage those who have not reported this issue (if you are encountering it) to please do so. Even though R* is apparently aware of it, the more people that report it, the better the the chances of a quick resolution. https://support.rockstargames.com/categories/115001624507?redirect_lang=en_us&_ga=2.68834897.1959283164.1550521385-1719606522.152528735

Back on topic of player traps..... I had a recent run in with a 100+ lvl player in the town of Tumbleweed. Two of us rode into town while the other player went about his business. Neither of us bothered with each other as we went to each store, stable, etc. When I went to the butcher however and finally exited, he shot at me. I looked and realized he appeared to be in the building next to the gunsmith. Since the bldg isn't accessible (AFAIK), I suspected he was on the roof. His first shot either missed or had no effect but both of us were able to move away from his LOS. It was then I realized he was glitched inside of the building. He would try to partially clip through the front door and take shots at us but there was no way to get to him. I even tried dynamite. I'm guessing he found a way to glitch into the bldg and then would shoot unsuspecting people from there. Either way, his exploits were short lived as both my friend and I got a blue screen soon after it all started.

They've mentioned that they would bring the accuracy of the Varmint rifle "more in line" with other rifles. I hope that includes the acquisition time as that is one of the main reasons folks use it beyond its intended purpose.

....quite the opposite. I think it's quite clear most just want focus.....a goal for the group based on a common interest. For me, that is easier to accomplish with smaller groups. Not that larger groups in sessions haven't been fun, but I seem to get way more accomplished when it's 4 or less without all the farting around.

I hear you. Seems to me I have more luck in groups of 4 or less. I've been in a couple groups of 7 and it tends to be chaos. Folks screwing around and yeah, sometimes one of them griefing another player and getting the rest involved.

You can set it up any way you like but to be honest, most are simply looking for those they can play with. .....and if your posse is "mixed", it may tend to cause confusion or frustration. I honestly doubt RDO will ever be cross-platform and if it is, that is a looooong way off I reckon.

@BigShaunPolk Have you provided feedback to R*? https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback?step=f2e50892 They could have had the best intentions with the vote-kick feature as others have in the past. Unfortunately, it's one of those things that can be abused as it is in some other games as well.

That link I posted a couple replies ago to the thread contains everything that has been released about the update so far. There is supposed to be more details announced this week regarding the update for next week. As to what those details will be, no one knows. Either way, the update is coming next week so we'll all know soon enough.

If folks have bugs to report that are happening to them, they should be reporting them. Someone reporting a list of known bugs from the community isn't going to do anything to be honest. I've reported quite a few bugs myself that I've run across (some more than once when I've had more information about them that I thought might help), and most of them I have received a response that it is a known problem that R* is working on. How many of these will be addressed in the coming update is anyone's guess. However, please note that there is supposed to be additional details released this week regarding the update next week. I will say that I highly doubt that R* Support will provide any of those details before the official announcement is made in the release notes or however that is communicated. .....but it doesn't hurt to ask.

All I can say is to make sure you folks are reporting this to R* Support. I'll probably jump on tonight and if I see the same thing, I'll be sure to let them know too. Something else to consider is that the new XP event was suppose to be this week so perhaps something they changed has had an effect on wildlife spawning in, etc.

Nothing more than usual in my case. One thing I did discover last night was while in a posse with a friend I was able to get a couple missions to start by going out to the main screen (PS4) and joining their session. There was a screen that popped up stating the obvious (that I was already in a session with them) but that seemed to kick it loose and the missions started. Sometimes it took several attempts but worked.

Hi @boone0829 and welcome to the forums. I'm going to go ahead and move this to the Online sub forum. Also, in the future you might want to keep the explanation for your topic in your post rather than the title. I'll shorten it for you. Having said that, I would also encourage you to report this problem through R* Support. I've heard a couple others reporting the same problem. https://support.rockstargames.com/categories/115001624507?redirect_lang=en_us&_ga=2.68834897.1959283164.1550521385-1719606522.1525287356

Glad you figured it out. I'll close this thread then.

Unfortunately, I've run into a couple low level loaners that no matter how many times we put them down they continued to come back for more. They were determined to be as irritating as they could even though they were no actual threat to our safety. .....we just couldn't continue to do what we were doing. There's no fun in being steamrolled by greater numbers and/or superior leveled players but there is also no joy in having to continually kill the same player over and over again because they won't leave you alone and accept defeat. .....griefing comes in many forms. Seems we used to be able to run off players like that but now more seem to just keep hanging around trying to be as much of a bother as they can.

First, we welcome you to the forums @devius1. .....but I would ask that you please don't double post. I will leave your post in the Online subforum standing and close this one. Thanks for your understanding and again, welcome. - Kean P.S. Feel free to contact me with any questions / concerns you have.

First, welcome to the forums @nshanny73. Personally, I would report the issue to R* Support. I think it's vital that we report such problems especially during this beta period. The more people that do (who are having problem), the more accurate a picture R* has of more widespread problems, etc. Here's a link: https://support.rockstargames.com/categories/115001624507?redirect_lang=en_us&_ga=2.148343476.2060775431.1550515943-1719606522.1525287356

Yeah, I guess I never noticed. I was always looking at the XP given for the missions. Let's see how the 20% goes this week. It's supposed to to be on all activities so I hope that means everything that doles out XP including kills, etc.

You're welcome to call them what you want but in my book, examples like mine are clear examples of people whose only interest is to harass and irritate other players. ......in other words, griefing. Hell even R* uses the term in describing these folks. We call them griefers, you call them player killers. I'm ok with that as I'm not prepared to start quibbling over semantics.

I'm confused. You "can not get the connection error"? That's a good thing, right? .....or are you saying that you can't connect? If the latter, I'd suggest creating a trouble ticket with R* Support here: https://support.rockstargames.com/categories/115001624507?redirect_lang=en_us&_ga=2.125950539.773102796.1550515017-1719606522.1525287356 A rep will get back to you usually within 24 hours. ......typically much faster IME.

Hi Jdill, First, welcome to the forums. As for forming or joining a posse, you're talking about in-game for Red Dead Online, correct? I'm not sure what platform you're on but for PS4 you click the left D-Pad once to bring up the "Free Roam" menu menu that will appear on the left of the screen. One of those menu items is "Posse". Once you click on that, it will bring up a list of all posses within the session. You are welcome to join any that are "open" while private posses require an invite by the posse leader. Scroll through each to see the posse honor level, status (e.g. open, closed), members in the posse, etc. To create a posse you go to the same Posse menu but this time use the square button to form a posse. The action is shown in the lower right hand corner. This will bring up another menu and at the bottom of that menu (IIRC) it will have a selection to "Form a Posse" (or something along those lines). Click that and you're good to go.To invite other players to your posse you go to the beginning of the "Free Roam" menu and select players. This will bring up a list of all players in your session. If you click the R1 button once, this will show you a list of all your friends. Ones in pink are in the session with you. Also note that you can invite players to your session this way as well as it will show as an option. Click on any player's name and if you have created a posse a menu item will be shown where you can "Invite to Posse". Selecting that option will send an invite to that player. I'm moving this to the Online subform Q&A. Hope this helps and again, welcome to the forums.

This past week it was double the XP bonus of what you would normally get by doing missions with a posse. It wasn't actually "double XP" of the whole payout of XP if that makes sense. Next week is 20% more XP IIRC for all activities and the week after that the new update comes. This was the first time for this sort of XP bonus as I recall but I doubt it will be the last.

Good question. I think the save game file is tied to the game but I don't know if that could or would be transferred to a new copy of the game. My gut says no but I don't know for sure. I would ask Rockstar Support to be honest: https://support.rockstargames.com/categories/115001624507?redirect_lang=en_us&_ga=2.197488167.984162768.1550430230-1719606522.1525287356 Curious though..... What's in the special edition that you want compared to the standard? Welcome to the forums btw.

Maybe ask them? I don't know. Perhaps it's simply not that popular of a request? Maybe it's simply not high on the priority list? Also, we don't know all of the details of what will be included in the 2/26 update nor do we know what other features will be added down the line. We are still in the early stages of this beta. Welcome to the forums btw.

These games are GaaS models (games as a service) and R* has set the benchmark with GTAO as they will no doubt with RDO. An RDR3 is likely many years into the future. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if RDR2/RDO is re-released in a remastered version for next gen consoles like GTAV was. ......depending of course when those are scheduled.

I'll shorten the title and add R* to it before I pin it @jnaron_ngc. .....if it's all the same to you.
