From what i understand, it's simply a personal option just like the sensitivity settings for auto aim, FPV vs. TPV, etc. Everyone gets put into the same generic Free Roam session regardless of what their settings are.

fyi.... I just got finished checking my blocked list and I have over 200 players. I also checked in several spots on list as I scrolled through the names and for each that I did, they were still blocked. .....although the last 56 looked like place holders as there is no longer player information in those boxes. My list is in alphabetical order and stops after "Si". Seems half of the S's and thru Z are still there but simply blank. .....not sure what that's about. Maybe I'll try to block someone in that alphabet range to see what happens. 190 blocked players are still visible though. Anyhow, are you saying that you can only see 50 on your list and that Sony confirmed that's the limit?

Hi Spiteful, You've already got a duplicate thread in the Online forum. I will merge this one with that. - Kean

No problem..... I'm from the U.S. (PST) btw. If I'm on, it's usually during the evening hours. Feel free to send me an invite or join up if you see me playing.

Hi Spiteful and welcome. A couple things..... First, I wanted to let you know that RDR2.org is not affiliated with Rockstar or Take Two Interactive. This is a fan site, so when you say "your game", it isn't really our game. Having said that, I will provide a link below where you can contact R* directly with your feedback: https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback?step=f2e50892 Please note that there is a 500 character limit when providing feedback so you'll likely need to submit your suggestions piecemeal. Either way, there's no problem in sharing these ideas for discussion with fellow community members and in fact, participation is encouraged. I just wanted to make sure you knew that what you post here won't necessarily reach R*. You'll have to go through their feedback site to ensure that. ....and the more of us that do, the more likely it will be that these ideas can become reality.

...by the way. I forgot to mention but a chunk of the folks in this group are from the UK and other parts of the world as well. I believe some of our friends from across the pond have joined up together through the group. I occasionally play with someone from Hong Kong (they speak English).

Ah, ok. That could be it. My friend was closer to my horse when I died and respawned than I was. I really wish R* would provide more details on the mechanics of the game. They release information about such things in spurts ever since the game released. .....much of it surprising me because I never knew certain things had an affect or operated in that way.

You're more than welcome. I havent played with many in the group but it's simply a resource that can be used to try and gather more friends so there is a better opportunity to find folks online when you play. Feel free to use it to try and form a regular posse, etc. I figure, the more people we get on board, the better chances folks have with finding players to join.

In the example I provided earlier, I called my horse and all my pelts were still there. Perhaps the combination of proximity suggested earlier plays into it as well?

Yeah, the BBB is really an empty threat as Chris mentioned. It really makes no difference as they hold no power in these matters. I would would simply be persistent in your complaints to R* Support.

Yeah, it is.

I never thought much of the "skill" in RDO gunplay anyhow given the auto-aim mechanics, etc. Besides, it's simply not the kind of game I care about gettin' gud at or taking that seriously. All I know is that shooting up a town from a rooftop is sometimes just a lot of fun and my friends enjoy it too. Kind of like an Alamo / defense mode. When we get bored of that, we move on. We do all that other stuff too like engaging posses on foot or horseback, fending off trolls, gang hideouts, etc. It's just nice to mix it up once in a while since there really isn't anything we haven't already done in this stage of the beta.

IIRC, the time is already displayed in the option menu regardless but if it isn't I still wouldn't bother buying it as you can pick one up at some point simply by looting bodies. ......unless the catalogue watch is providing some other unique benefit I'm totally missing.

Gotcha

I created this posse back in June 2018 for players who prefer cooperative, respectful and fun gameplay. For folks who are easy-going and like to work as a team, help slower/newer players out in the group, etc. If you're as tired as I am of dealing with trolls, griefers or some of the rude, obnoxious, self-important players that plague online games, feel free to TeamUp. You can use this community as a resource, a group of "friendlies" that we all can tap into so we don't have to brave the RDR2 Online gameworld alone. I also have a Community on PSN named "Red Dead Redemption 2 - TeamUp" so please feel free to join on there as well if you wish. With all the folks I see asking to join posses to avoid being vulnerable, I thought I would advertise here in the Recruitment forum as well. Please let me know if you have any questions. This is not a clan or a group that requires any kind of commitments, etc. Just a pool of players you can tap in to. Regards, Kean

I've been playing since day one and to be honest, I don't believe I've ever been the victim of one. First, folks can only carry 10 of them. Second, from what I hear they are very expensive. I would rather not see something like this in the game at all but at least it's to the point where I believe most would use it as a "last resort" vs. just for indiscriminate killing of other players. .....and if they do, I'll wager that is pretty rare.

Sorry to see you go Red. I hope that doesn't mean you'll be leaving RDO all together. Just know you're always welcome here.

That makes sense then. Do you know if the damage you take without your hat increases at level 2 & 3?

Glad to see the group on here and the PSN Community growing. Welcome all.

Thanks. I'll try that. I thought that option was just to attempt and match you with friends sessions but I'll see if it works (to exclude randoms) next time we try to join a story mission.

Ok, I see. Yeah, Express ammo makes a decent difference in the damage stats for your weapons.

You're right. It's pretty close and on the side of the town where the butcher is where I died.

Hope you're submitting these to R*. Just a word of caution however, they have a 500 character limit so you'll need to break it up into chunks and make multiple entries. https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback?step=f2e50892

You're having trouble obtaining or equipping Express ammo for your Lancaster? ....a bug?

Make sure you're providing your suggestions / concerns directly to R* during this beta through their website: https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback?step=f2e50892
