Hi Necro and welcome to the forums. With that our of the way, this was a Necro bump of a old discussion from 2018 initially about the PvP modes in RDO and some speculation as to how the gameplay would be in the future. The game was still in beta at that time IIRC. Either way, no one is forcing you to play the PvP modes if you don't want to nor is anyone here expecting you to.

Moving this to the recruitment forum.

The OP can contact you via your reply to this thread.

Yeah, not entirely sure what they meant by that remark but I have a feeling....

Keep an eye out for the Shotguns littering the map for a deadly edge in combat. Take part in this week's Featured Series – or any showdown mode – to earn Double XP through April 13. Pike’s Basin A good, old-fashioned turf war in the arid climes of Pike's Basin. The rules are simple: Capture and retain the most territories to win. It's surviving and holding on that are the hard part. Stillwater Creek Take control of unclaimed loot in the long grass and murky waters of Stillwater Creek, returning it to your team's home base to outscore your rivals. Other players no longer appear blipped on the mini-map in this new Showdown map. Roanoke Valley Just to the north of the Annesburg Mines, the great state of New Hanover plays host to a deadly game of capture. Defend your stockpile from enemies while stealing from them at the same time. Whichever team steals the most wins. Other players no longer appear blipped on the mini-map in this new Showdown map. Kamassa River The calm waters of the meandering Kamassa River are the backdrop for this frenetic and explosive mode. All players start out carrying a package - the goal is to deliver said package to your enemy's camp without getting killed. Whichever team delivers the most or all of their packages by the end of the game will destroy the enemy base for good. Other players no longer appear blipped on the mini-map in this new Showdown map. Look out for fresh maps hitting two more Showdown Modes in the next couple of weeks. Check Rockstar Support for details and limitations.

Yeah.... Now that I think of it, I believe the owner set it up so that new users have to post a few times before they can use PMs. We have had issues in the past where some would join up with ill intentions and this was to help mitigate that problem. The OP should be receiving emails from these responses if they set up notifications. I also see they visited less than 24 hrs ago so maybe they are still checking in on this thread. If they don't seem to be active, I would recommend checking a posse from members who are more active in the community.

I believe you should be able to now. Thanks for your patience Ovin and let me know if you have any issues.

I would follow @Dissention's advice here. Assume it may be something you're overlooking or perhaps need to do in order to jar things loose so to speak. As mentioned, are you cycling through your weapons while near or on the horse? If you look again through the catalogue, does it show that you've already purchased the pump shotgun?

Their support has been stretched since the PC release. As for outsourcing, it has always been thought that their first tier support is likely handled by a CS partner rather than R* themselves. Support that seemed to use scripts and canned responses. Escalations were different however. What changed are the lead times to responses, quality of support and now it seems having your case escalated is more difficult or impossible. I guess could be that they switched vendors or simply were stretched too thin and never made the necessary changes to help restore the level of service they once had. The thing is, none of us know for sure.

If I'm not mistaken, firearms appear immediately in your inventory. Check your weapon wheel.

Being a first time poster, your initial post needs to be approved which I have just done. I think now you will be able to send PMs although if the OP has set their subscription to notify them of responses in this thread, they should also receive an email.

On console there is an in-game reporting feature you can use and then there is Customer Support where there are options as well to report people like that. I'm guessing you're on PC?

Yeah, I don't really Tweet or anything like that but I keep an account for most of my gaming news. Seems these companies use Twitter as one of their first means of distributing information so I tap into that.

Subscribe to their Twitter feed and/or the Online forum here as I or someone else will likely post a thread when there is any news like this.

I don't believe I've ever had that problem myself.

I have everyone muted and/or only use party chat. .....so I don't communicate with randoms in GTAVO or RDO.

Hi sjb and welcome. I changed your font color so the text is readable on this site with the dark theme. I also moved it to the PC section since this deals with PC specific configurations, etc.

It's an April Fool's joke. It will likely be gone sometime today or tomorrow.

....it's April 1st today.

Yeah, if someone is really not happy with the game they don't need to keep playing it. Personally, I'm pretty indifferent about the whole thing. I still enjoy the game from time to time especially now that I don't have the animal spawn issue. Most things work for me. Content is my main issue so once the new stuff drops, I'll probably be spending more time with it. ....at least for a while.

No problem. As for the grumbling by some, what can I say.

Sounds like they are looking into compensating you for the money / reward you lost on the challenge. It's no secret that they are using outsourced companies for their frontline CS so their wording could either be from their script, sound like broken English, etc. It's unfortunate their service went downhill after the PC release. I simply stopped reporting my problems at that point and send things through their Feedback site.
