I see it. I will PM you about it as there are some things we need to iron out to keep in step with forum rules (namely the requirement of only one registration per user). Closing this thread per OP.

......and that right there plays a much bigger role than I think some would care to admit. I couldn't agree more. Although it's rare that I get griefed in this game, I'll go as far as to say most of the time it was my own fault usually for being too complacent. Things like Defensive Mode do help but if folks don't do their part by adjusting their playstyle, none of these features will make much difference as they will continue to be victims to some extent or another.

People will already typically avoid games, modes, etc. if they don't like them. .....and they'll play them if they do (or at least like them enough). Personally, I don't play them because of this. I don't want to cycle through a bunch of modes I hate just to find that one that I might enjoy. .....and then not being able to play it because it doesn't come back up in rotation. Submitting our feedback to R* is a start. Even though I don't care for PvP in a game like this I also made the suggestion to give players the option.

Interesting...... That hasn't been my experience as we see hideouts still pop up with a waypoint selected. Last night for example, we ran across two and I'm almost certain my posse leader had waypoints set up both times as we rarely travel without one.

Personally, I would make sure to submit your feedback on their site. I'm guessing their reasoning must be that they don't want to split the player base at this point and maybe that will change if/when the game's population ramps up. ....but honestly, I have no idea. It's a shame really as I actually don't like the PvP modes for the most part and this keeps me from playing the one or two that I do. I'll wager that this changes over time though. https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadonline/feedback?redirect_lang=en_us

I am sooooo glad that isn't true.

Hey @Major Dammidge, Did you ever figure out the Posse creation page? Also, sending you a PM about something else I noticed you mention. Let me know what you think.

The MTU setting doesn't have the same effect in RDO as it does in GTAO Lumper. In fact, if you try to change it by any significant amount in RDO, the game won't load. ....believe me, I tried when RDO was first released. When I mentioned the MTU trick it was regarding GTAO exclusively. .....where encounters with randoms are very fast and chaotic. Also, it's only manipulating the game in that it helps force you into sessions by yourself or just a few others who (surprisingly enough) are typically quite friendly as they are usually trying to do the same. The alternative is that I would have uninstalled the game long ago if I hadn't. Personally, I have zero problem with it because 1) I'm not using it as an exploit to gain an advantage over other players 2) It has given me what is essentially infinite replayability of a game that would have otherwise been limited. I still play GTAO and have since it's release on PS3. I was just providing a way for others to potentially still enjoy the game too.

Had some connection issue trying to join a friend's game last night. We had to play around a bit and get a little creative on the join but it it did work after a couple tries. Also had a problem with another friend who regardless of what we tried we could never get all three of us into the same session. .....bummer. Had to continue with just the two of us. This was the first time in quite a while I had problems like that.

Yeah, no real complaints as in I'm willing to just play the game without much issue in regard to the anti-griefing mechanics or griefers themselves. No, not al all. ......but then I know you're just being facetious and/or choosing to belittle my opinion / personal experience on the subject at this point. I'm not lying about my experiences HuDawg. I simply don't have the level of issues you think I have with griefers in this game. In fact, I came across one last night that I would be hesitant to even call a griefer as they were simply acting oddly and then participated in our side mission. ....killed me once, grabbed the loot and then I retrieved it after killing them. Killed me again (left myself wide open) after the mission so I actually got to use the parlay option for the first time in many months. We also had other players near us at Thieves Landing doing things that were suspicious but they didn't interfere nor impede our progress. Most of that was our own fault for playing side missions, etc. in the same area in which we spawned into the game. Normally, I travel to another side of the map first. ......but I've explained these kinds of tips many times before in these discussions. Well HuDawg, I'm really sorry you're so bitter about the game and perhaps those of us who helped provide our feedback to R* during the beta. I actually enjoy playing it with the exception of some bugs I encounter from time to time (e.g. couldn't have our friend join our session last night) and a desire for more content. I never really had a huge issue with griefing after the updates started coming and much less so with the latest being implemented (opposite of the apocalyptic picture you keep trying to paint around here). I'll say it again... I don't share your cataclysmic vision of an Free Roam ruled by griefers exploiting all of the anti-griefing mechanics in the game neither in theory nor in actual in-game experience. Again, I get that some will always find ways to exploit the game's mechanics but it's just not happening the way your trying to paint it. Perhaps I could be a little more sympathetic to your opinion if you weren't so dismissive of mine.

A lot of us were never looking to turn RDO into a Hello Kitty Island Adventure. .....but it gets interpreted that way by some. Personally, I like the direction R* is going so I really have no complaints nor hardly any problems with griefers but then again, it has a lot to do with the way I play the game.

There are still a lot of things to be added I'm sure.

Again, no one was suggesting it wasn't.

Yeah, not saying you're not. ....just mentioning that there was nothing official yet. It's back up for me too.

Not according to their Service status page as of 7 minutes ago: Gaming And Social Affected Platforms: Other , PS Vita , PS3™ , PS4™ , Web Affected Services: You may have some difficulty launching games, applications, or online features.

I can't speak for others but I didn't imply his intentions were anything else. I also didn't think my response was cold but simply honest. I do think he was being a little cocky as it carried throughout his post (not just the thread title). If pointing that out make some feel I was being rude, then for that, I apologize. It's just that when someone implies that they are here to save the day, you should expect that you might catch a little extra flak if those ideas don't measure up to the hype. btw, I'm one of the most inviting people around when it comes to welcoming new members as I'm always monitoring and responding on the "Introduce Yourself" thread, answering questions, etc. I'm not trying to be rude to the OP and I have nothing against him. I simply think his anti-griefing idea is severely flawed. oh, and welcome to the forums @armaggeddon.

This is getting a huge amount of exposure right now in the gaming media so I don't doubt that Sony is working hard toward a quick resolution. https://status.playstation.com/en-us/

This would only serve to exacerbate the problem as you will legitimize the act by implementing a reward system for doing so. Think about it.... Trolls would camp merchants waiting for players to sell goods, ambush them after missions, etc. In GTAO, you have the opportunity to deposit your cash via your phone. In RDO, this would require visiting a bank every time. .....something I doubt many would enjoy doing. Judging by your cocky thread title, I know you probably think your ideas are the "bee's knees" but this particular one is horrible.

.....yeah, probably not the best first impression calling out another member for helping but back to the OP.... I'd definitely take up any offers here to ride with others who don't mind showing you around. I've been sick for over a week otherwise I would have offered up my own services. .....assuming you're on PS4. I usually ride with another member on here during the week and I'm sure he wouldn't mind (he's retired like me). Anyhow, I hope things are working out and please continue to ask questions as there is never a shortage of folks here willing to answer questions, give advice, etc.
