Project Cars was going places IMO but the latest iteration is an example of what can happen to some of those kinds of projects. It got dumbed down in the hopes of appealing to more people. Same thing seems to be happening to Insurgency Sandstorm. It was supposed to be a bridge between milsim and more casual shooters but some of their decisions are to appeal to more casual gamers (e.g. kill cam). ......and then they got bought out by a larger company which will likely further influence the direction of the game even more (although they say NWI will still have their freedom). They started out knowing their niche audience and were dedicated to making the game for those folks. .....the kind of game they also felt passionate about. I followed Star Citizen for a while and really liked the idea. I also like the idea that they essentially stuck to their vision / goal. As for whether it will get to where it needs to be, I have no idea. I've also followed several other projects I was hyped about that fell short so my expectations are not set very high. DayZ was one of those and the next one right now (because I'm on console) is Zero Six which is currently in early development. Speaking of which, I'm hoping the new gen console will help entice more devs to port their milsim titles over and even create new ones on these platforms. Personally, I believe there is a larger audience out there interested in more hardcore titles than AAA companies realize but it's likely going to take an independent or smaller dev to tap into that fan base.

Yes. Quite an ambitious game and has been in development forever.

Ok, now I understand with the explanation Sigil provided and I agree, its not broken. You have to understand that R* can see the activity of folks that play RDO and realized what was happening. I do recall playing with some friends and we were doing some collecting. I didn't know what map they were using but they knew exactly where to go. In all honesty, I found it quite boring as there was no sense of accomplishment for me or discovery. It felt like a cheat. Either way, I agree that it working like I think they intended it to from the beginning. A lot of folks were exploiting it the other way so they made the change.

FYI..... The OP hasn't been back here since 8/25. If they fail to respond, I will be closing this thread. I don't want other members wasting their time responding to a recruitment thread where the OP is MIA.

The OP reported his issues with access to poker is now resolved in another thread. Marking and closing this one as resolved.

Thanks for hopping in and confirming @Sigill MacFinn

Well, I wish there were someone with a PC that could chime in to verify this for you. In fact, you may just want to make a new thread in the PC sub forum or with "PC" in the title asking this question (about not being able to access gambling and if others are having the same problem).

Yeah, that's one reason I stopped gaming on PC. ......main reason was my obsession with upgrading. The only thing I miss are some of the more milsim leaning games, flight sims and some others. Console rarely has anything that good in those genres although there are some promising titles in the future for the next gen.

Don't know what else to tell you then......

The reason you can't send PMs is because you only have two posts since you joined back in May 2019. We have a limit to help protect our members from spammers, etc. I will unlock your old thread. We just ask all new members to please make sure to read and adhere to the community rules including the supplementary ones located in the stickies in the Posse Recruitment sub forum. As per the Recruitment forum rules: Threads that are found to have MIA thread starters may be closed at our discretion. We do this when it's obvious they haven't been back to engage with the RDR2.org community, respond to posts, etc. ....so anyhow, I unlocked your thread and you should be able to edit or add to it at this point. I am going to lock this thread as the issue is resolved.

Actually, they do but you can sometimes get a canned response. You're likely reaching a first tier CS which is usually run by a 3rd party. The degradation ins service has been a problem since PC released.

....so are you still talking about not being able to get into a poker game in RDO or GTAO? I'm confused. I do know that I can join a game in RDO without issue. I also have not heard anyone mention problems with it on console or PC. I would suggest sending a trouble ticket to R* Support.

That would be the the owner / Admin, Lonestar.

Hi Wolf and welcome. I would encourage you to take a minute and fill out you profile including the platform you're playing on. There are some nuances between PC, XB1 and in some cases even PS4 with the early access aspects, etc. Thank You. As for the question regarding the Trader Role, I haven't really delved into it so I'm not well versed in how it all works but I'm sure someone else will know and chime in.

Well, I tried earlier this evening and had no problem. .....PS4.

You also have to realize you're on PC and others may be on PS4 or XB1 like Antonia.

I haven't heard anything.

Perhaps. I don't know how sessions are populated although it I have doubts the low count is due to a lack of players to fill them. I would assume a decrease in players would simply mean less sessions.

Seems the gamin news outlets are catching wind of the reduced player counts: https://www.polygon.com/platform/amp/2020/9/4/21422795/red-dead-online-rdo-lobbies-rockstar-redemption-2-player-count Something else interesting in that article: "On social media, one Red Dead Online community posed a poll asking players if they’d like small lobby counts to be permanent, and out of more than 3,200 replies, an overwhelming number of people voted yes. The consensus seems to be that folks will take the game actually working over making it a social experience."

@Senor-Fredo-Lz Whats with the multiple replies? I'm guessing a problem submitting your post? I deleted the other 3 for ya. As far as poker not being available, I haven't heard of any issue yet. ....assuming you're from a region that allows it, etc.

Saw this on R*'s Twitter feed. I thought it was kinda cool and figured I'd share with y'all:

nice....

The only way i know is through their Support site here: https://support.rockstargames.com/ That's one thing I don't miss from my PC days are the issues with some games and griefers. I still play GTAO to this day on my PS4 and rarely have problems. Sorry you're having issues though.
