Hi Becky and welcome to the forums.
Since this has to do with the online portion of the game, I'll go ahead and move this to the Q&A over there for ya.
Sorry, wish I had an answer on this one.

I always thought they should have released an enhanced or remastered RDR1 prior to the release of RDR2. I would have bought it back then. ....probably still would now but definitely back then.

I just found it funny that although I hadn't even played a CoD game in years, that still seems to be a sticking point for some in their community. ......just glad I wasn't accused of hacking when I won.

Yeah, I thought about that too but wasn't sure

Hi Slick and welcome to the forums.
fyi... RDR2.org is a fan site not affiliated with R* or 2K in any way. Having said that, I have no idea if anyone from R* even reads these forums but if you are looking to bend their ear, they do have an official Feedback website that they do view:
https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadonline/feedback?redirect_lang=en_us
Obviously, we want you to feel free to post here as well (and encourage you to) but it wouldn't hurt to submit your feedback there as well. IIRC there is a character limit of 500 when you're typing but you can submit your feedback whenever you want.
Anyhow, just thought I would point that out.

Looks like there may not be any news, bonuses, sales, etc. announced today. We've been getting regular updates in this regard every Tuesday for months. .....but today has been oddly quiet.
I don't know if this silence today is an indicator of the Summer Update being just days away or what. For all I know, they may still come up with something before the end of the day.
Either way, I will post up any new news that is released as soon as it hits. I just wanted to create this thread because I know of you folks kind of depend on these Tuesday updates and I didn't want you to think I just forgot. I will continue to keep you folks posted.

Thing is, when they have to push an update it needs to go through an approval process that can take days. I think with Sony that can translate to about a week or so before an update can actually be dropped to the consumer. I don't think it's the same for server side updates on their end though.
All I'm saying is that there is nothing indicating that they will release an additional small update let alone specifically that feature so soon before the Summer update. ....and I just don't see them wasting time with the certification process twice like that and so close together. Not trying to rain on your parade, just explaining my reasoning.
Yeah they did mention something about the character customization amongst other vague info on future content IIRC because people were asking for it (they were getting a lot for feedback about it) ....but then more details came out on the Summer Update and what that would include along with the latest which is what I shared there.

Well I was thinking a week from Tuesday would be the update, but the character customization thing I think is separate from the actual summer update, which is why I think they will drop that first, we will have to wait and see, but that is my feeling on it.
I just think, if it isnt ready tomorrow, then instead of nothing, we will get the character customization, that will appeal to a lot of people who have been wanting to do that, and keep everyone busy for one more week.
Only time will tell.
The following is all part of the "Summer Update" status / news:
ADDITIONAL ENHANCEMENTS
And in addition to these roles, the next update will also deliver a variety of new content and improvements aimed at enhancing all your experiences inside the world of Red Dead Online, whether within roles, competitive modes or simply exploring free roam.
Substantial, across the board changes are being made to combat and movement to allow for a more responsive control system that still feels natural. Additional damage reduction to Defensive players is also on the horizon, and the game will now remember your preferred playing style (Offensive or Defensive) when you exit and relaunch the game. There will also be many more lootable items to be found throughout the world, like containers on wagons or the occasional Gold Tooth on an unfortunate soul.
The next Red Dead Online update with also feature the ability to reset your character’s appearance and much, much more.
Stay tuned for more details to come and check back for new weekly events in Red Dead Online.
When they say the "next update", I think it's clear they are referring to the Summer Update. The excerpt above is a description of what is supposed to come in the Summer Update.
These content drops seem to be settling into a seasonal schedule. The Spring update was mid May and the Summer Update seems set to release sometime before Fall begins (late-Sept). My guess is in the next week or two but that's just an assumption.

So today I had a thought.
I have a weird feeling that we will get the character customization option a week before the summer update.
I just have a feeling.
I wonder if tomorrow we get the ability to re-do our character then the following week or two we get the actual update.
Just a thought, but I do think it will happen, no point in putting everything in one update, they can break it up a little and still make everyone happy.
We will see, but my call is we get the customization option before the update.
If it's an update they need to push out to us to make it happen, I really doubt it. We are so close to the Summer Update that it simply make no sense to only release that enhancement but who knows. .....but I don't see any reason to release just that prior to the larger update.
More than likely we will get another week of bonuses and such with additional news on the upcoming update with possibly a specific release date. .....that's my call.
I do have a feeling that news may come sooner rather than later though so stay tuned to see if that might be tomorrow.

Fyi.... I think your point got lost in translation somehow or I'm not understanding. Do you mean the storyline missions are feeling stale / repetitive? If so, I agree.

Well, got to play 2v2 last night for a little bit before I started getting a headache.
I like how they slowed down the running a bit although you still get people unrealistically jumping off ledges and shooting in midair, sliding, etc. The pace is still twitch-like and the community didn't seem to change. .....someone actually messaged me through PSN saying "U camp 2 much". 😂 I blocked them and moved on.
I was doing pretty good once I started learning the maps but 2v2 is just not enjoyable for me. It's was too run & gun for me. Weapons felt good although still a little too arcadey. ....the tactical reloads were kinda silly considering it's not even factored into the gameplay mechanics.
I'm still interested in Realistic and SepcOps options as well as the Battle map modes (20v20 and 50v50).

I stopped at black flag... it was fun, but it felt a lot like Sid meier’s pirates. Honestly, I haven’t tried much on the PS4 yet. I bought it specifically for RDR2. Though over this winter I’m sure I’ll be digging through the used bin at EB Games and the likes, whe I have time for games again lol.
I loved the mechanic and had hoped that they would have expanded on it in another iteration of the franchise. I guess it's reception is what helped give birth to Skull & Bones. ....but in Ubi fashion they'll drop the ball on that one too as I hear they decided that there would be no boarding party fights, etc. That's part of what made the raiding in Black Flag so fun IMO.
Yeah, if you haven't played many game on PS4, there are a tone to choose from I think you would like. .....some I mentioned. Just depends on what exactly you're looking for.

Revrand !! 100%
I take no joy in it and unfortunately other public posts were made elsewhere directly after this questioning my character / motives that had to be removed and dealt with.
4 hours ago, Antonia said:usually those people with 5 posts charging at forums endlessly cursing, they only want to unleash the day's frustration after a bad situation with servers and stuff. I had far worse problems than the OP with the game and after i reached Rank 2 support (i insisted 6-7 days) we managed to fix most of the problems.
Yeah, I get the frustration and even think venting about it can be therapeutic (less the filter dodging
). I also had problems with 1st Tier support but success when my issues were escalated. Unfortunately, it seems the OP has not up to this point assuming the root it is not what they say.
btw, I believe a quote by me was taken out of context implying I was trying to point the finger squarely on the OP or their ISP. I wasn't when you look at the omitted sentence above that in the original post:
"The issue can also be on your end simply due to location, traffic, other equipment, etc. .....but then again, it might not be.
My point is, your argument about Mediacom being a large provider and the large customer base is moot That does not mean that individuals still do not have issues using their service."
Again, I am not suggesting the OP's issue with the game is definitely with his ISP nor am I saying he didn't have a bad experience with R* Support. ....an entity I have no affiliation with btw. I have had issues with the game and with Support as well as mentioned. I also know disconnect issues still haunt some since the beginning of RDO's launch. In fact, I think one of our fellow moderators ( @BropolloCreed79 ) is still plagued by DC problems.
While I think it's obvious there's little chance that the OPs revolt will gain traction, I hope his issues finally get resolved or perhaps is able to move on from RDO if that's his intention.

Well, I love games with a lot of story to them. I bought up all the Metal Gear games. Assassin’s creed was a favorite of mine for a while. It’s what I love about the more recent GTA games.... there are infinite stories to be told in this series. As well as RDR. There’s a lot more stories to be told in the American west than Ductch and his issues....
What other games have out tried already? There are still some good SP titles that tell a decent story out there on this generation of console.
Days Gone was supposed to be pretty good once they tackled some of the big bugs.
The Witcher 3 had a decent story but was loooooong.
The original The Last of Us.....a game on rails but a really good story and really well made in that respect.
Kingdom Come Deliverance was ok although it suffered from bugs which I'm sure are mostly squashed by now. ....one of the best and most challenging melee mechanics I've come across. Sword fighting is really cool and rewarding. You really feel like you are gaining experience along with your character but it's on the hardcore side of gaming in that way.
Fallout 4 was good.
I'm not really huge on story and I do like open world so games like GR Wildlands really appealed to me. I like tactical shooters and it had a main story you could unravel at your own pace. ......like the AC games.
As for other Ubi games, Watch Dogs was kinda fun but Far Cry 5 killed the series for me. Just like they did after AC: Black Flag by going back to the same old boring format before BF with the next title.

Fyi....
The download for the CoD MW Alpha is now available in the Playstation store. Just do a search under Call of Duty Modern Warfare and you should see it among the other preorders.
Again, this is only for PS4 and is free this weekend. It is also only for the 2v2 mode.

Too bad there isn't a defense mechanism built in, so that if it gets you, you pull out your knife and stab it or something, giving you time to recover and shoot it albeit at the cost of damaging the pelt.

I find it funny how black bears are labeled as red dot predators in this game, but I've never had one not run away from me when it appears, unlike grizzlies that put you immediately on the menu as soon as you're spotted.
Yeah, you're right. I was thinking about grizzlies. Black bears in RDR are wussies.
Most times I had one of those side missions to kill one of those bears I would get mauled, respawn and get mauled again. Became kind of a joke. If I don't get the upper hand from the get go, I'm dust. lol

I once saved a black bear from a wolf pack. im good like that......but mostly i just throw a dynamite in on that kind of situations
Knowing my luck, I would have then been mauled by the bear. .....I have the worst experiences with bears in this game.

There's good feedback here.
Also, my suggestion would be to be persistent with R* Support. Keep the ticket open and make sure to give them as much info as you can. Be open to trying their solutions but don't back down. Hopefully it gets escalated and you get the help you need. .....assuming this truly isn't an issue on your end or your provider's that is causing the conflict.
Good Luck. Since this sounds like a problem that just cropped up, let's hope it's just temporary and will shake out if nothing else.

"My point is, your argument about Mediacom being a large provider and the large customer base is moot That does not mean that individuals still do not have issues using their service. "
Yeah you did!
So as long as your connection status is OK, the heck with those of us who are having issues since beta began! We are many in number.
You have no idea how messed up this R* Support is because you apparently don't have any issues, and therefore don't speak to them.
Or maybe you are one of them???
You clearly missed my point but that's ok.
I have had issues and have had interactions with R* Support on a number of occasions. I've even mentioned some of those in the forums here. I will say most of the interactions were quite positive IME except for one that I was eventually able to get an answer to with an escalation. I'm not saying everyone will have the same experience but that was mine.
As for the insinuation that I'm some kind of shill for R*, I'm not even going to go there with you @jnaron_ngc. I think it's better to just end that exchange here because I don't care to be disrespected anymore than I'm sure you would.

I have to go with anything PvP. .....because I simply hate PvP events in this game.

Mediacom is really not the core issue Kean_1.
Never said it was. I was addressing his reasoning.
.....but again, if he's not getting anywhere with R* to help solve his issue and neither he nor his ISP can't find any problem on his end, then maybe it's time to cut bait and move on. If he has truly exhausted all avenues so what else can we say? .....sorry?
I just think it's unrealistic for him to expect everyone to rally behind his cause when quite frankly, most of us don't share his issue.

....and to add to that.....
When R* suggests the problem might be on your end and to contact your ISP, thats not to suggest that everyone with he same ISP are having issues or that because others with the same ISP who don't have problems is proof that it isn't related to that in your cae.
The issue can also be on your end simply due to location, traffic, other equipment, etc. .....but then again, it might not be.
My point is, your argument about Mediacom being a large provider and the large customer base is moot That does not mean that individuals still do not have issues using their service.
