  1. there are two additional story mode missions... one available at 75% dishonorable and one at 75% honorable

    getting to 100% honor is easy enough by hunting and skinning

    I didn't feel like spending 3 gold bars to become dishonorable... go to van horm... at the end of the pier, at the building the fence is located, take cover behind the building so that your back is to the water and start killing npc's making sure not to kill the witnesses... eventually the law will start coming at you in waves... in between waves, loot the dead lawmen and npc's... sometimes you will lose your wanted level because you've killed off all of the lawmen... pop some more npc's to get the law after you again... I continue until 100% dishonor

    you save the 3 gold bars, get xp for the kills, get money and items from looting plus the dishonor

     

    to be honest, I haven't done this since the bounty system was implemented so I'm not sure what effect that may have

     

  2. was hunting in the heartlands... noticed a 2 man posse heading towards me... killed the follower a few times easy enough because I was on top of a ridge... called my horse, as jackoff knocked my hat off, but noticed the leader was opaque and not advancing... horse wouldn't respond so I killed the follower a couple of more times as I headed towards my horse

    the leader was underground UNDER my horse, which he had killed... couldn't lock on to him but he certainly blasted my ass as I approached

    should have recorded and reported but I was stoned and didn't really care... parleyed and was WAY pissed off when the scrawny nag showed up instead of my horse with the 10 plus pelts... minus pelts and have to travel to almost rhodes to resolve the issue

  3. A friend asked me if I would play this as just a hunting / fishing simulator... I said yes

    He said "It's not what it's supposed to be"

    and I agree... if the spring update doesn't do it, that is how this game will be treated for myself... a hunting and fishing luxury

    has a game ever failed to get through the beta stage??

  4. This is rockstar trying to get people to spend all of their hard earned cash and gold... then, once they drop the spring update, with all of it's nice, new shiny toys, people will be broke... rockstar hoping people will resort to having to buy gold bars or get people playing and grinding again to earn the cash required... reeeeeeks of desperation

    myself, I would be interested if the items were half price... i'll just keep grinding levels and cash and buy them as they unlock naturally... not sucking me in rockstar

  5. Finally got it to pop... coincidentally it was this past Saturday... was the swamp version... and managed to pull out in 1st with relative ease... all those hours put in fishing certainly helped... would also recommend to @Vaderspupil to NOT use the special spinner for these events... use the specific lure depending on the body of water

  6. I find the need to session hop after about 20 to 30 minutes... it just seems like the animal population decreases the longer you're in a particular session

    hunt until i have about 10 pelts and 3 perfect carcasses on my horse... attempt to get  a hideout to spawn... load up on some fish... sell at the butcher... fast travel to where I want to restart... and then hop to a new session to refresh the population

  7. @zampen

    of those 32, how many would you say were found within the last 3 weeks?

    OR since they messed up the implementation of the fishing challenges? lol

  8. latest reply from rockstar... must have ruffled some feathers to get a tier 3 rep to reply... also nice to get a reply that doesn't reek of a cut and paste form letter

     

    Hello SKOOM4LIFE, 

    Thank you for your reply.

    I am sorry to hear that we have not replied to your question.
    I apologise for the misunderstanding.

    After reviewing the recent patch notes ( 10.6 and 1.07 ) it seems like no chance was applied to the treasure drop rates.
    As mentioned earlier, the drop rates for Treasure Map are Random so it is very likely so sometime you will find many of them and sometime you wont find any at all. This does not means that drop rate changed.

    Regarding the outfits on your horse, we have received similar report from other players and our development team is currently looking into it.
    In order to try and fix this issue, could you please try deleting your custom outfits, and creating new ones ?

    Regarding the animal despawning, the game at the moment tends to clear carcasses and bodies when they are too far away from players. This seems to happen more often when there many players, and dead bodies around. 
    We are currently looking into the details of this, but we suspect there is a bug in the de-spawning of bodies and carcasses and our QA team is investigating.
    For now we advise you to not kill too many animals from too far away. If you do kill an animal, you should try looking /skinning it as soon as you can and not get too far from it.

    Finally regarding the core, this is perfectly normal gameplay.
    For all 3 stats, the core slowly decrease with time. The bar around theses cores do increase by themselves ( depending on your cores ). It makes sense as the cores are restores by eating. Think about it this way : your character needs to eat every so often. Otherwise he will slowly starve and his cores will decreases : his health, stamina and dead eye will slowly decrease.

    I hope I was able clarify this situation, and if you are still having an issue or need any more support, please let us know and we will be happy to assist you.

    Best regards,

  9. a reply I received from rockstar support this morning touches on this and a couple of other issues I am currently experiencing

  10. I then further inquired about the percentage of a "random" drop... apparently they can't predict what the monster they have created will do.... obviously there is a coded percentage, they just don't know

     

    Hello SKOOM4LIFE,

    Thank you for getting back to us.

    We understand that you want to know the percentage of a "random" drop rate for Treasure Map in Red Dead Online Beta.

    We would like to inform you that the drop rates for Treasure Map are Random and we won't be able to predict the drop rates for Treasure Maps.

  11. typical rockstar reply

     

    Hello SKOOM4LIFE,

    Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support.

    I can understand your concern regarding the treasure maps appearances in Red Dead Online Beta. Please note that when looting for treasure map the drops are random and may or may not appear. If you are seeing an issue where no maps are dropping at all, I thank you for reporting this matter and can look into it further for you.

    If you ever have any further technical issue, please feel free to contact us again.

    Best regards,

    cool thanks , have you completed that awards ..? 4 gang hideout in 1 day

    pluck3: I have not completed that award... have not been lucky enough to get 4 to spawn within 1 game day

     

  13. for xbox one

    Left Trigger to aim... you can use either the Right Trigger or the "B" button to attack... or you can just use the Right Trigger or "B" button in close quarters

    with a little distance between you and the victim or a running start, you will execute a takedown... once your victim is taken down, you will be presented with a menu in the bottom right corner, which will display your options... I believe "B" is Execute

    noobs like them for casual aim easy kills. 

    noobs and veterans alike... pump action is my go to for gang hideouts... find a good cover spot and let rip

    upper chest and up is a one shot kill... was quite surprised with the range when I first started using it

  15. ticket submitted for "missing in game item"... also point blank asked what the drop rate is for successfully completed gang hideouts and if the rate has been lessened from recent updates... will post reply once received

  16. I'm definitely feeling that r* have done something to even further downgrade the chance of stumbling across one... if they haven't shut them down completely!

    It's been over two weeks and 30+ hideouts cleared since I've gotten one.

    Anybody been successful lately?
