No worries.

You had two threads open for the same topic. Likely a mistake. I closed the other one for you. It also appears you copied an unintended format with your text so I fixed that for you as well so your message could be more easily viewed.

That's not what he was saying at all. As for exploits, his point is that you don't need to use exploits to do what was described. The roofs are accessible to everyone. He was not excusing griefing, just the opposite. If you know of someone using a glitch / exploit, then report them. If someone is griefing you, then report them. ....and block them.

You do essentially what I do. If someone is tracking me, making a bee line for me when I'm off road, etc., I don;t hesitate to shoot first after making sure I don;t know them. It also depends on where I'm at (e.g. in a town, on the road, at a mission point, etc.). It most cases, it pretty apparent what their motives are IMO/IME.

Nope. I have been paying attention to the amounts provided and when I click on some pelts it simply does nothing. Once I click on an item that I can sell, the items that did nothing will then disappear.

I would just suggest that you make the replies meaningful rather than simply trying to reach a particular post count. .....but there are plenty of subjects being discussed around here so it shouldn't be too difficult to find ones to participate in.

Hi Zombie, While I'm not in the UK, we have quite a few folks from that region in our group. Feel free to join if you're looking to meet more people in your area to co-op with: I have also set up a PSN Community group for the same purpose (to meet like minded people to team up with). It's "Red Dead Redemption 2 - TeamUp" (without the quotes).

I know I've said this a million times before but I would encourage folks that do have problems to report them to R* perhaps even providing your screen print. https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback?step=f2e50892

Personally, I would suggest folks hold off on recreating their character until the option is offered to do so without losing progress. ....like in GTA.

I get random disconnects from time to time but nothing close to what you describe. Maybe once in a session if at all.

I take it you were in a posse with randoms? ......one reason I don't play with randoms.

I used to have that issue but not for quite some time. All of the sessions I've been in have been populated with plenty of animals. Now, if we're talking about side missions, those sometimes disappear and have been as long as I can remember. They will either reappear on their own or after I force a respawn, join a new session, etc.

I don't know if I mentioned it here but there was this dude who was lvl 140+ that was simply dominating every event. He was MVP in nearly every one of the matches and took headshots after rolling/dancing around with ease. ....part of the other reason I don't like the PvP in RDO is that I'm not particularly impressed with the gunplay in R* games (e.g. strong auto aim, dives/rolls, high ttk, etc.). In PvE it's fine because it's more about the overall experience IMO.

I have the same issue but it only seems to be with pelts. Some pelts I will not get paid for and nothing happens when you click on them. You just have to move on to the next items and then they disappear. I would suggest reporting this to R* if you haven't already. https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback?step=addb2b0b

Although I wasn't in a mission, I had an issue once where I tried to get on my horse and it wouldn't respond. I hopped off and forget what I did, but after I jumped back on, all was fine. I also had a side mission yesterday where I recovered a wagon. When I arrived at the destination, I was frozen in the cropped widescreen but the missions would not state that it ended. I could still walk around shoot my equipped weapon but not much else. .....I even killed a cow. Funny, I can't remember what I did but I was able to break the freeze and the mission ended and all was well after a couple minutes.

Yeah, it sucks that they require one of latest OS's for their app to run. I would kept my old phone if you wasn't for the battery acting up. I still will keep it as a backup after I replace the battery myself. I just didn't want to attempt it and then break something leaving me without a device. Also, I got a great deal on my new, unlocked phone through Amazon. $120 less than it was on Verizon plus a 2000 mAh battery mod for free ($40 value). ....it's a Moto Z3 where you can attach mods to the back of it (magnetized). I stopped paying for phones on plans long ago.

I had the same problem with my old Android phone. The OS was too old. Turns out however that I bought a new phone since my old battery was finally acting up after 4 years. Now I can run the RDR2 app. Makes a big difference now when playing.

The near future updates that are coming are mostly aimed at helping mitigate the issue of griefing / gameplay balance. They will include Parley changes, a new bounty system, proximity based blips and blips that change color / increase range on griefers. As for how these will play out, I agree that we'll just have to see. .....but personally, I wouldn't say R* isn't making anti-griefing a priority. I can't say for sure if it works but I have blocked a lot of people. .....I mean a lot. I also do what I call proactive blocks against players in a session where I will sometimes observe their actions or even lock them based on their honor level in posses and/or gamertags, descriptions in profiles, etc. I will say that I have yet to run into someone in a session that I have already tried to block. .....don't know if that means anything given statistics but I'm going to keep doing it until I discover otherwise. I also will report trolls in-game for disruptive behavior when appropriate. I think I'll send a message to Sony to see what they say. IIRC, blocked players are also supposed to be blocked from the sessions you join.

Cool, thanks.

I know it's not what I wanted (I'm a PvE / co-op kind of guy), but we're not privy to the stats and information R* has from feedback they receive. Right, wrong or indifferent, BR is the hot ticket right now and what people want. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a hotly requested item R* received feedback on through their site. We also don't know how many people play the PvP events vs. Free Roam which could affect R*'s choice in what they prioritized this year. Anti-griefing measures are part of what R* announced as coming "soon" (listed below) but it appears additional missions and content will be later: Either way, you folks need to make sure you submit your feedback regarding bugs, suggestions, wants, complaints, etc. on their site otherwise all of this discussion is for naught: https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback?step=addb2b0b The more of us that request more PvE content, bug fixes, etc., the more likely these become priorities for R*. Just look at griefing. People complained through their feedback site and R* listened. How that will play out is another matter but at least it's acknowledged and they are making moves toward doing something about it.

Me too when dealing with trolls. ......but it's out of spite more than anything. .....and when I want to make a quick get away. Had this happen to me with a troll last night who was tracking me. I finally had enough, stopped and then killed him. .....and his horse. I put a lot of distance between him and myself but he kept coming from a distance (slowly but surely likely to make me feel as though there was no threat). I was about ready to log off for the night anyhow so I led him along for while and made him think I didn't notice. He made a final sprint toward my location and then I logged out. I love the phone app btw. You can see these trolls coming from a mile away without having to open the big map on the screen.

I don't even know if they are privy to the information since it goes to R*. .....but depending on what was in the message, that alone could have warranted action regardless. I understand the OPs frustration and hate to see him banned for voicing his disapproval to them, but messaging the troll was a big mistake.

Ahhh, ok. .....it was "several" months btw. We could be looking well past March until RDO is final. I suspect a lot will depend on what issues they encounter as they begin to roll out new components to the game.

This has been one of my favorite sites and the community in general here has been great. .....so when I was asked, I figured I wouldn't mind pitching in a bit where I can help. It was an MS ban to this Live account. I suspect the response the instigator received from the OP may have been a little heated and that was enough for MS to act. They are only seeing one side of the story since they don't see the reports made with the in-game reporting tool. ....just the reaction in MS messaging.

Was there a leaked about the March timeframe? AFAIK there hasn't been any hard dates sets for upcoming updates yet and no mention so far of invite-only sessions (sadly). Only "coming soon" features/changes and "more to come this year" with some specific and not so specific mentions. I have the same rule to gaming. .....if it ain't fun, it ain't worth playing. We all have enough drama and angst in life. I play games to relax.
