Just for online I'd imagine as in-game money, GBs and items are not tied into one or the other.

Well, there ya go.....

Same here..... I had kept joining other friend's sessions so I totally lost track of where I was on those other roles. ....we usually did bounties and/or other people's tasks. It wasn't until I joined my own solo session for the sole purpose of locating some of these treasures I've been hoarding away that I had the same problem.

IIRC, that region is blocked until you unlock it later in the story. The wanted level and relentless attacks are the way they keep you out instead of invisible walls, boundaries with timers and the like.

I had this issue as well. Check your map for any yellow discovery points. I realized I still had items that I had to collect from what I believe was the collector role or something similar along those lines. Once that was completed, they disappeared and then I was able to open a treasure map from my satchel.

Definitely.... I'm not the kind to "100%" a game but I do like to explore all the side missions, grind for money, weapons, etc. .....but nearly to the end of the story myself. Still got a lot to go but i just need to take the time to get roped back into the story again but I'll get there.

"Trader wagon hunting/defending tips thread"

@The_Liquor is right about tact. I don't agree with Netnow's logic either on griefing (forcing yourself into solo sessions is a different story IMO as I've explained) but that's no reason to start insulting him about it. Let's keep it civil, ok?

Well, R* doesn't just ban people for "no reason" and they don't take the action lightly. .....but if you believe you were misjudged, I'd suggest contacting them through their Support page but just be aware that they state "All Red Dead Online suspension and banning decisions are final and may not be appealed." so I don't know how successful you'll be at getting it lifted. https://support.rockstargames.com/categories/115001624j507?redirect_lang=en_us&_ga=2.178143397.1604750760.1574282664-2071812124.1574282664 Just know that RDR2.org is a fan site and in no way affiliated with R* or Take Two. There's nothing we can do to change this for you unless someone has some experience, special contact you can reach, etc.

.....I meant about getting back into groove to finish the story. It'll take me a session and then I'll be able to knock it out over the course of several evenings. I'm not that far from the end as far as I recall.

Hi UK, The Support page is pretty easy to navigate. For this particular issue I would have chosen "Online Play", "Bug Report", "PC" and then "Contact Us" to open the report page where you can include all of the details to open your trouble ticket. Someone may also be able to help you here if an interaction misunderstanding, etc. but if it's a bug, you'll probably want to submit a report because none of us will be able to fix that for you unless there is some sort of workaround in that scenario. We can all "support" you in that sense but please remember that RDR2.org is a fan site not affiliated with R* or Take Two.

Not really the point if this thread but yeah, ok. .....good luck.

Congrats.... I'm a little embarrassed to admit this but I never finished the game. It's not that I found the campaign boring (quite the opposite), it's just that when RDO came out, I jumped on that. I just need to get back into the story and the groove one night and I'll finish it.

I probably wouldn't because of what @The_Liquor said about people being sneaky but for me, it depend on how close they were to us, etc. I will say that I always found it stupid that you didn't have the radar available while fishing. Back when the app still worked for blips, I would use that instead.

For defending.... Posse up. This can't be stressed enough for long deliveries. Few things in this game are more beneficial than playing with a posse of friends. If you're alone, consider local deliveries instead or accept the fact that there's a good chance you will never make it to your destination. .....more reward = more risk. Simple as that.

It is deliberate. R* went over their reasoning for the slow release of new content in a relatively recent interview: https://www.vg247.com/2019/09/27/red-dead-online-future-heists-villain-lawmen-business/ There is zero chance in my mind of RDO ever becoming anything so over the top as some of the things you describe using GTAO as an example. .....at least if we go by R*'s vision they have laid out for us. if you haven't read it already, that article provides some interesting insight and (for me) some reassurances that they will be taking RDO in the direction I would like it to go.

There are things that make my wife uncomfortable like certain types of scary movies, certain criminal docus, etc. Guess what?...... I don't try to make her feel stupid about it by explaining the obvious or dismissing /questioning her anxieties, emotions, etc. I simply don't watch them when she's around out of respect.

Then don't allow them to close it if you never received a response. You have the option to reopen and add messages to you trouble tickets.

They are civil for the most part which is more than we can say for some other forums or social media sites, right? I respect @Netnow66 and appreciate his desire for more passive options beyond what R* has provided. We just don't agree on some things. R* never said they never would introduce separate lobbies so perhaps one day we will see free-aim / hardcore sessions, private / invite- only, etc.

....no joke. Full circle man.

To be honest, I never thought griefing was as bad as some made it out to be in the beginning. .....IF you followed the advice many of us were gladly providing, using the app, etc. .....but yeah, even much less so now especially given the options and restrictions / punishments R* has levied against trolls. IMO, there are far less excuses to be griefed but again, folks still need to use some common sense, situational awareness, some basic tactics and the tools made available by R* to help mitigate the problem.

Most published definitions will agree with R*'s and my take on it but yeah, some people are gonna call it whatever they want even when describing those that participate in any sanctioned PvP related activities in RDO Free Roam. As for me, I simply choose not to call those things "griefing" if for anything to not confuse real "griefers" with those simply playing those missions as designed. .....and again, if folks think that's still griefing or are bothered by it, then they don't have to participate. R* doesn't force those missions on you if you don't want to play them. It has nothing to do with what was stated. There's no argument from me there. It's in the interpretation on specific terms, context and other details where we have disagreements. .....but this is all old news as we have both quoted R* on the topic.
