Moved to RDO forum....

Maybe he's just talking about having as many friends as they can get join the same session. I see nothing wrong with that and it actually sounds pretty cool if they can do it. .....given we don't have any private session options.

At the time, I enjoyed it. ........at the time. If they were to introduce a UN2, I don't know if I would be on board this time around. I've been all "zombied out" for quite a while.

I'll wager quite a few folks feel the same way and why R* chose to focus on it last week.

Just note that the link above is to the "online" feedback page. The "Feedback" option is for feedback regarding RDO only. However, the "Bug / Technical Issue" option will take you to their Support site which will allow you to report problems, etc. for both online and the campaign (the one I linked to).

Well, they probably say that because it is a beta. Whether some folks choose not to accept that statement is not going to change the fact that it is. Also, R* was up front that RDO would be a work in process that would take weeks or months to develop. .....before they even mentioned the "coming months" remark in the last progress update so (at least to me) it was no surprise. As for MTXs, I personally don't see the issue. You don't have to buy Gold Bars and they are not required for access to weapons, ability cards, etc. R* made it clear that anything locked behind GBs will essentially be cosmetic. This game is a GaaS model like GTAO. The reality is that things like Shark Cards and GBs are an essential part of this model and are what sustain these games and drive future updates / content. It's why GTAO is still popular and selling strong several years after it's release. It makes sense to me that they would establish the MTX component early on in RDO so that it's in place as they begin to release new content including new outfits, etc. ....but again, no one is forcing players to buy those items nor are they required for access to weapons, etc. I never paid for Shark Cards in GTAO and probably will never buy GBs in RDO. .....and yet I still play GTA and will likely be active in RDO long into the future as well. IMO, they are two games I feel were well worth the $60 each I paid for them. I can't say the same for most other titles I've purchased through the years.

This is a big one for me. The campaign doesn't have co-op and there is no private session options now or in the foreseeable future. Also, it's not all about hunting and fishing. Some PvE'ers and co-op parties want to partake in the story and side missions of RDO as well like I (and my friends) do. R* created RDO as an experience for all players (PvP and PvE alike) and they have stated time and time again: ....or rather, an online shooting game meant to blend PvE and PvP gameplay together. What do I expect? ......balance. To be brutally honest, all I care about is that R* has recognized that many of their customers are not happy with the current trolling problem and they are willing to do something about it. Whether that will help or make the problem worse is another story.

Multiple accounts or maybe platforms.

See ya Lemon. FYI.... I'll keep posting updates on the PSN Community including patches, etc. so folks in your position as well will still know what's going on. ....in case you want to revisit the game again after a more meaningful update. Regards, Kean

Welcome Nate. Yeah, probably not ever going to join you during that time frame but we do have folks here from the UK and other parts of the world. .....so while that time may not be so convenient for a lot of folks in the U.S., it could be for them.

What I don't get are some of these YT personalities that should know better but still let slip racial/derogatory slurs that they then regret, make excuses and have to apologize for. .....especially when they portray themselves as "culturally sensitive". I'm far from being any kind of SJW and I certainly believe a lot of that stuff gets taken too far, folks being too sensitive, etc., but I would never say some of the things these people have said and I think there's no excuse for it. That's not the way I was raised nor the way I would raise my own child.

Yeah, most of the times I play alone is usually just to hunt/cook food and/or to sell goods for money. ....sometimes for XP but not really anymore.

I thought that stuff was automatically moved to your new saddle?

Of course not. .....and thanks. No worries. It's my pleasure. I saw it on my Twitter feed and hadn't noticed anyone post it yet so I thought I would. ....plus, being semi-retired, I'm not doing a whole lot of other important things anyways. As for right now? .....yes. Seems the other items will require an update they will have to push out to users to be downloaded so those will come with the next TU when that's done and approved by MS / Sony.

RDO way more fun with friends than alone. Anyone can play solo but helping out friends, co-op'ing in missions and simply sharing the whole experience is much more rewarding IMO / IME. .....and I do mean friends, not randoms (that's a whole different story). To be quite honest, playing with friends is probably the only thing still keeping me going right now with the lack of content.

I'll probably spend it on finishes for my weapons. As for their focus, it may actually be that these PvP modes are really popular. I dunno... I never play them. We also have to remember that title updates have to go through a Sony/MS certification process that can take a month or more.

Yeah.... Just not happy seeing that the next TU with the changes I've been waiting are slated to release in the "coming months". Seems I may actually have to shelve this game at some point and then revisit it later when more content (that I want) begins to arrive.

Really? I didn't know that. I'll have to try it out next time. There are a lot of things in this game that R* didn't really reveal about the UI, mechanics, etc. No idea why.

Welcome Bandit. Fyi, we have a sub-forum for recruitment posts so I will move this over there.

No, it's not just you. It's that way for a lot of millenials. Seems rude behavior, insults and that whole "in your face" attitude are not only tolerated but encouraged in some cases over qualities like good sportsmanship. Far cry from the way I was raised but it is what it is. As for talking smack to get in people's heads, a little ribbing is one thing but some folks using racial slurs, profanity laced threats, derogatory remarks about yourself or family members, etc. is another in my book. I mute them, report the more extreme cases and block them.

I rarely use my camp for anything but cooking food and even then, I usually just find an open campfire to take care of that. I agree with the idea that Cripps could fulfill the butcher's role in camp. ......but then again, I think it kind of ruins the role that towns in the game play. Perhaps simply adding more butcher locations is the answer then? .....or a roving trader(s).

Hi Bandit and welcome to the forums. We have a Recruitment forum specifically for these types of posts which I will move this to now. RDR2.org also provides a way to create a Posse or community that you also may be interested in: https://www.rdr2.org/forums/clubs/ Might I also suggest you add your platform and gamertag into your profile as it will help those you are trying to reach. - Kean

Just had a disconnect with this error code tonight. Again, rare for me but it still happens.
