I'll look forward to seeing you there, then! The moral of this whole thread - "Don't try to second guess R*, the'll beat you every time" 😣

All joining options appear to be back

Well I, for one, am quite exited about all of that. They aren't going to solve everything all at once, but that looks like some steps in the right direction. I think I'll wait and see how well it's implemented before getting angry that it might not be implemented to my satisfaction.

Hi Herta I'm in the UK and have a persistent posse - "Violent Femmes" (because my character is a girl - I have a vision of a full 7-strong girl posse riding around, like a punk version of the Spice Girls, but with revolvers!) However, I haven't got round to any active recruitment yet, so the 'girls only' rule seems superfluous, so don't worry if you don't fit the demographic. Friend me and we'll try to meet up online. I do tend to play at night (10pm-1am, typically) so that might not suit you. My interests sound like the same as yours, so it could be a good fit. I'm rank 71 (maybe 72, not sure) at the moment. I'm generally honourable, although I do have a soft spot for doing Sean's missions. Hope to see you online.

Update: I am now convinced that camps are more likely to spawn if you're carrying quality carcasses. Had another couple in quick succession last night with a *** Pronghorn buck on the back of my horse. Also, has anyone else noticed that some of the outlaws have got (comparatively) richer? Whereas looting them always turned up something in the order of 7c-11c, I am now getting 4 or 5 bodies each camp with more like 70c-90c. They're still pretty unsuccessful outlaws, but they must have upped their game a little bit. I first noticed this at some point over the weekend, thought it might be a glitch, but it is at least 5 camps over 3 days by now.

I really should've thought of that! Thanks! I've got so used to her running off when I dismount in emergency situations (ambushes and the like) that tying her up in a controlled fashion never even occurred to me!

I've been assuming that 100% core drain rate is 'normal' - any other views on that? I, too, live my RDO life underweight, despite (or maybe because of) living on a regular diet of herbed big game meat, only broken up by the odd biscuit or tin of fruit when I've picked up enough of those to max out my carrying capacity.

Me too. I had a couple of *** turkeys strapped to my saddle last night, and two hideouts spawned in rapid succession. My horse (reverse dapple Nokota) has a tendency to wander off so far in a firefight that she fast travels when I whistle, so I had to clear both without getting out of the saddle, except to deal with the leader. She's fine once the bullets stop flying. Not that 2 turkeys are enough to retire on, but I didn't want to lose them.

I'm not saying you're wrong - you're probably right, but its kind of pathetic, isn't it?! There is literally no penalty for dying in the game (if you aren't carrying pelts/carcasses, or are killed by the law, obviously), it's weird where some people can find their fun. It usually takes most of a minute to leave and rejoin a free roam session. That seems like a higher punishment for the fool headshotting a random player minding their own business than anything that can be meted out in-game.

I've experienced this, too. The weird thing is that there ARE no consequences for griefing, so I'm not sure what they are trying to escape from.

I like this old school approach - I've been overthinking it!

'Tis done!

I try to name my horses after ones I've ridden in real life which they resemble. Hence Polly my black racehorse, Argento the Kentucky Saddler I was given free (grey with black mane and tail). Harvey, a dark bay Morgan that I rode for a while in the story. My current main horse is the silver Nokota with the black face. I've never ridden anything like her in rl, so had to make a name up. I went with 'Squirrel' because she's small, grey, insanely fast and completely nuts.

Much too busy! But I do wish that you could change your ability card loadout, in the same way as your weapon and outfit loadout, in the lobby.

Hey there. I'm on uk time, but a night owl (typically on from about 10.30pm to 1.30am gmt) so I might cross over with some of your game time. I'll do my best to hook up with you - I already have plenty of green clothes, so it's obviously meant to be!

Stupid question but bear with me... I'm on Xbox, how do I get photos to post on here? I understand the principle of taking screenshots and video captures. If I start there, how do I get photos here? Thanks

I find that the Springfield with HV ammo locks on at a greater distance than anything else. However, I admit that I am prejudiced against the bolt action as I don't feel it's "cowwboyey" enough.

It can't be beyond R*'s wit to design this in the same way that the clothes work. If you go to the tailor and look at hats, scroll along to one you already own, it says "already owned" and you can equip it. They could just do that with saddles - you select your new saddle, go onto the stirrup buying page, scroll across to the ones you own... you get the idea. It'a almost as if they want to make you buy the exact same thing twice, which can't be their intention... can it?!

Thanks all. I'd reached the same conclusion but wanted to check that I wasn't missing something obvious.

Is this working for other people? I bought the upgraded saddlebags ($80) and can still only fit 3 outfits on my horse ☹️

I have unlocked and bought a new saddle. I can't see any way of moving my previously upgraded stirrups and saddlebags ("upgraded" - hah!) across from my old saddle to my new one. Am I missing something, or do I just have to buy new ones?

I'm expecting (hoping?) that double hip holsters will appear as new content down the line. It can't be too hard to implement, and is only cosmetic, with no gameplay consequences. At the very least, I wish there was an option to remove your crossdraw holster. One of my outfits would look much better without it. I'm prepared to take the hit on functionality, but it is the one option that you can't take off in wardrobe, like your boots or gloves, for example.

I did a wagon escort mission this morning - about 8am GMT. At first the wagons didn't spawn but then they showed up about 3 or 4 minutes later, and the mission ran fine from there.

I've had this a few times as well, it's just like slippery bastard - it seems they can sustain it for a little while but then you can lock on - but they aren't high enough level to have unlocked the card. On another, related note, I sometimes happen upon people (Showdowns is where I notice it) for whom lock on doesn't lock on to them, but rather 6 inches to a foot off to one side. I'm putting that one down to a glitch, rather than anything else.

That. It's still a beta.
