Yes, as you guessed it, this is not an official forum for R* or Take Two. In order to contact them directly to submit your suggestions, you can go here: https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadonline/feedback?redirect_lang=en_us One other thing I'd like to point out is that this site is comprised of a community of various backgrounds, political and religious affiliations / beliefs, etc. While there is not a problem specifically with what you posted here, I'd always ask that that folks please remember that and respect that others may not feel the same way they do in that regard. RDR2.org is a RDR2 fansite after all. .....not a platform to stump for personal beliefs on sensitive subjects, etc. Again, not saying you are but I just want to make sure we're on the same page so we don't head that way. Anyhow, I'd like to say welcome to the site. As for churches not being open, there are a lot of buildings that are not accessible in the game. In regard to content (or lack thereof according to some), RDO has grown quite a lot from the beta days and there are more businesses, properties, etc. to come. It's going to take time but just like GTAO, RDO will have a lot more as time goes on. .....btw, I am moving this to the Online section.

@MATIMAS, I split off your post from the general discussion thread and created your own thread in the Online section. I also translated it for the ease of others to view so you can get help.

I get it and I agree. Some people panic in situations like this and then stock up on items they really don't need to. Unfortunately, that forces the hand of more rational folks to buy additional items they may need out of fear those items may not be available for a while. .....kind of a domino effect. We had Costco deliver to us since it was that time and we really didn't want to go anywhere near that place. Luckily, the grocery store also had plenty of meats and produce they stocked back up on the next day so no worries there. I really don't think there will be a problem in that regard especially as stores place limitations on certain items. ....toilet paper on the other hand, don't get me started. One cool thing is that beer, wine and booze seem unaffected which is great. Luckily, we already prepare for stuff like natural disasters, service interruptions, etc. in my house so we have plenty of food for weeks if needed. .....but I prefer not to tap into that since it's quite expensive so we have frozen items, etc. that will sustain us for a long time. I would just clarify that I believe the concern over the potential is warranted IMO. I also think (generally speaking) the steps and recommendations coming from our government at the direction of the experts is justified. The real problem will come from those that don;t take this thing seriously enough in my honest opinion. .....but we need to approach this all with a degree of rationality and calm. As for the media and those individuals who decide to freak out, what can I say. It's gonna happen.

Don't get me wrong.... The spawns are certainly bountiful for me although just not quite at the level they once were which I'm actually ok with. I used to be able to run up and down that NW valley everyone goes to and have to stop about 3 times or more one way. I would then stop, turn around and do it again. Now, it's not as easy as that but there are animals / herds there as I first come in. It just takes more time for them to spawn in again. It seems I can't spam the area as quickly for herds / flocks like I once could but I can still harvest quite a bit.

This really belongs in the RDO section. I'll move it. Sorry to hear you're still having animal spawn issues. The last fix seemed to do it for me as the populations for the most part have returned close to the level they once were. .....and if I'm going to be honest, I always thought the animal spawns were overdone previously. What I see now in my sessions is close to what I saw months ago but more balanced. ......although I'm not going to deny that I didn't take advantage of those endless herds, etc. before. I know a lot of people won't be happy until spawns are the way they were though.

.....and there are now over 174,000 confirmed cases worldwide and over 6,700 deaths linked to COVID-19. I understand folks trying to put things in perspective in regard to deaths caused by other means, but that doesn't take away from the fact that this new virus is a real threat to be taken seriously. If the measures the U.S. and other countries / localities are taking now were to be dismissed, the impact would be far greater along with the consequences. The spread really just started to make an impact in January within China and then the rest of the world by Feb. .....we're still in March. If the threat had been ignored, can you imagine how much worse it would be now especially with how easily this virus appears to spread? ....how about during the whole flu season or over the course of a year? I'm not saying there isn't senseless panic or a level of media hype over all this because there most certainly is. ....but I wouldn't dismiss the current impact nor the potential harm this virus could do if the measures we've seen were not being taken. A lot of people are idiots when it comes to the spread of the flu, etc. in any given year. They just don't care or realize how their carelessness impacts their coworkers, customers, relatives, close family members, other children, fellow travelers, etc. I'm glad you're posting deaths from the flu in general because IMO, I don't think it gets enough attention. ......I just had influenza B and pneumonia in Dec / Jan which wasn't fun at all. Luckily my pulmonologist got me sorted out. The impact of these measures here in the U.S. have already affected our family and community but I understand it as do many in our city. It sucks but hopefully our businesses will pull through and can get back to normal sooner rather than later.

The OP has not been back since January. I'm closing this thread as a result as it's likely just a waste of people's time who are replying to it.

No, they didn't remove the camps. I don't know why you are having the issue though. I know some still do have camp problems.

There used to be one that would always appear in that NW valley a lot of folks go to for hunting. I used to run back and forth down that thing and typically, there was a solitary moose that would spawn at one point near the center where the fingers of the creek would criss cross on the meadow. I played a game yesterday and while I found quite a few animals, no moose in that spot.

He's talking about your remark about the yellow / white patches on the map.

That would be cool.

Yeah, some of those are really incredible. ......I wish I had a lathe.

I don't mind it either with the exception of wolves where the animation briefly locks you out of being able to look around you. I also find it adds a level of tension as you are vulnerable for that period while you are harvesting the animals. Personally, I believe it's these animations and interactions in the gameworld that help make RDR2 immersive. If anything, I would love to see things like reloading slowed down to something resembling a halfway believable pace. If we were to skip animations like these, the game simply wouldn't feel the same IMO. ......the work to gather these things would also feel effortless so what's the point IMO? .....and where do we stop with nixing mechanics like this?

Personally speaking, all of the rewards seem to be retroactive so there's still stuff there for me to take advantage of. Unfortunately, it seems I maxed out my ammo the last time I played so unless I blow through a bunch of it, I won't be able to really take advantage of that sale.

Hi Orange and welcome. We also have a posse recruitment thread if you want to seek folks to join or are looking for others to join you.

Here are the patch notes. @NF85, I'm updating your original post to include this info so folks don't have to scroll down through the rest of the comments to get to this information: RDR2 Title Update 1.19 Notes (PS4 / Xbox One / PC / Stadia) Created March 10, 2020Updated March 10, 2020 FollowPrint [March 9, 2020] – General / Miscellaneous (PS4 / Xbox One / PC / Stadia) Improvements to issue with endless loading screens when performing some actions in Red Dead Online such as switching between game modes and sessions Improvements to issues seen when pitching camps through the Player menu, resulting in a flashing prompts and an incorrect “Cripps has packed up your camp” alert Fixed several networking issues that should reduce the chance of player camps being packed up during dynamic session switching in Red Dead Online Improvements to an issue that caused pitched camps in Red Dead Online to not spawn correctly when approaching the marked blip on the Radar / Map Fixed issues with player horses and riders being kicked off while in Posses Fixed an issue that caused player horses to be frozen in place and unable to move when other players are nearby in a Red Dead Online session Fixed several issues with some player horse visual attributes such as cleanliness not being correct after dismissing and re-summoning in a Red Dead Online session

Sounds like it. Thanks for posting this. I'll reformat the title a bit if that's ok with you and we'll make this the official 1.19 update thread. I'll add it to the sticky as well later when I get a chance.

I'm well aware of that and I'm not trying to downplay the issue for those folks. R* also admitted as much that the last fix was not a complete solution. .....but that doesn't mean it's not getting better for others.

I agree..... When I logged back on, I found the wildlife to actually be at the level of where I remembered it before these issues started for me. As for R* catering to new players, with some of these bonuses, yes, they are. ....but a lot of these things can also benefit other players as well with XP and cash multipliers, etc. We also have to remember there are a lot of folks who have suspended their gameplay like me (lvl 80 something) who haven't completed all of their roles, missions, etc. Some of these things can help bring people like me back to the game. For those that have everything already, what can I say? If I were that far along in the game I'd likely hang up my hat until the next content drop. Personally, I don't work through the content like some others do. It baffles me how fast some blow through the roles, etc. Even when I was playing regularly I didn't come close. For me, it's more about enjoying the experience and just having fun doing these activities with a friend, etc. Anyhow, I'll keep posting these updates for those who are interested.

...I wasn't trying to pitch the game to you but ok. I'm more into co-op as I was in GRW. I'm not interested in the team AI and frankly, the always-online aspect isn't a deal breaker for me as some others. However, a lot of the issues I had with the game they seem to be addressing in the next TU and they plan to continue updating the Ghost Experience from here on out. ......they even cancelled the next raid. Yeah, I'm not really a fan of CoD myself and in fact, this was the first one I bought in a long time. I loved GRW as well as did my friends who I co-op'ed with. We played tons of hours on that game regularly over the course of many months. We were sorely disappointed with the direction they went with GRB as were many others. Here's the trailer fo the upcoming TU and the links to the fetails: https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.php/2196386-Tom-Clancy’s-Ghost-Recon®-Breakpoint-Developer-Update https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.php/2196310-The-Ghost-Experience-New-Immersive-Mode-Coming-to-Ghost-Recon-Breakpoint I was never big on the PvP aspect of GRW (Ghost War). I did love the core gameplay of the main game though.

I use it but only for specific purposes. I don't have to worry about all that other crap with the people, companies, groups that I subscribe to, etc. I'm not really big on hanging out on these things but I do use them for information I'm interested in, family, professional relationships, etc. Social media can be very helpful as long as you use it to your advantage. Even on Facebook I don't accept many of the friend requests that I receive. I also don't share a lot of information on there but I do connect with friends (real friends) and family.
