Daily challenges what are your least favorite?
James Hickok_1837 replied to lumper's topic in Red Dead Online
I used to hate the posse daily's bcoz im a lone wolf as well but i worked it out. I made a persistent posse and when i need to make the posse events i just open the posse and change the name to Daily Quest and start to invite ppl from players list. After a while im ready to go. Most of the posse dailys require only one posse member. I have no problems finding animals tho. I used to hunt a lot when i was grinding $ for all ability cards and literally memorized C20Dragon's map. Also i know the specific locations where animals spawn. (Dragon you can find the banded Gila monster south west of Armadillo acros the river banks. The trick is that they hide in the bushes - just scare them off by firing a gun and you will see them escape ). When you cant find an animal where it's supposed to be after 5 mins dont look more - change session. Also some types of animals stop spawning at nights. The biggest pain are the Dynamic events daily's bcoz sometimes it takes ages for them to start. That is why even if im doing a mission or w/e when they pop up i always go into them to make the stupid 3 kills or arrow to the head etc. If you play Xbox add me as friend and if you need posse chalenges done and im playing - hit me up. -
Do you reset your daily streak?
James Hickok_1837 replied to James Hickok_1837's question in Questions & Answers
So it does reset ? I was on day 23 and lost the streak due to a bug with the update (it downloaded the whle game and it took 17 hours) that prevented me from playing one day. Currently im on day 89 i believe and it does not reset. Thx to that i managed to obtain 310 gold bars thx to the gold multiplier. -
Ty for explanation. I know that Mauser is a semi auto gun as well i was just reffering to the name of the gun .
-
I was using semi autos first and they were great. I wanted to try Mausers tho and imo they are better. Semi autos are a bit (a little bit) faster than the Mausers but have less shots, and less dmg. Mausers tho are insane. They are dead accurate as well and dead fast too ofering more ammo. I never got back to semi autos after trying Mausers but i see some serious pvpers in showdown using semi autos too. For me Mauser is better. Try them - you will not regret it. The hip salve from those close distance is something beautiful. 2 days ago in Gold rush game i was using only them and won the match with double the points to 2nd place. Had 23 kills and 6 deaths and ppl were stuggling to kill me to get the suit. I combine them with PiB and WS of course without painting - just fast tap
-
This x 2 As i already mentioned in other post there are a lot of cheaters atm especially in showdown large. I will not name and shame them bcoz its against the rules but i bet You know some of those names. Currently im going showdowns only to make daily as well with some exceptions - sometimes i go a few rounds to not get rusty or just to kill some folk - i dont want to kill ppl in free roam unless they deserve it or provoke me with suspicious behaviour. The most popular cheats are : Auto head aim, no recoil, wallhack, instant reload, faster draw and shot. There are others even more powerfull but they are to obvious and lead to fast ban. (like god mode, flying, teleporting, speed hack and others). Remember how it used to be in the past. I played only pvp till lvl 60 ish and it was super fun. Now its frustrating. I hope R* will do sth with it and try to resolve the situation. I really know what you mean. I get frustrated too when some idiot kills me with a varmint way out of range or come out of the ground behind me, or when im on a roof from the ceiling.

Lol seems funny . Ill have to try that. What about the grizzlies tho? Is there a safe way of feeding some1 to it and not beeing attacked?
-
Well i got really frustrated some days ago with the game. Currently log only to do daily and then quit. I really hoped that summer update will be in the summer but oh well. I agree and hope that they will implement some serious changes and stuff to grind for. I know its not enough but i've put away 300 gold bars and a couple of thousand rdo$ the be ready in some point for major expences. Still want to hit lvl 200 (3 lvls to go) but getting bored after an hour or two with the game and quit. WoW classic hits on the 27 th and me and my friends were waiting for it for some time now. Im affraid ill get sucked in and never even try the update or the game anymore. Cyberpunk is on the horizon as well........Time will tell.
-
Yeah i get You there partner ! Sometimes in pve i switch to LeMats to feel the Wild West but i just cant resist the accuracy and speed that Mausers offer. They are OP imo. May i ask what is the current card layout you use? Mine is : PiB, WS, Strange Medicine, Peak condition. I use it both in pvp and pve. Guns : PvE - 2x Mausers, Bolt action, Lancaster PvP - 2x Mausers, Lancaster, Reapeter shotgun
-
I was using LeMat's but when i tried Mauser pistols ill never go back to revolvers. Fast, accurate, super fast reload. Combined with PiB fast tap and Winning streak they are the BOMB. Both pve and pvp.
-
I was hoping for the update to come but it didnt again. At this point im breaking my Day 83 streak and leave rdro for some Time. Im almost lvl 200 and bored to death with the game. Going too play sth else. Cya partners!
-
As i mentioned before Dakota River banks are the fastest place to farm fat. It takes me about 15 minutes to farm all 58 pieces. then just change session and do it again. Sometimes it spawns you on the other side of the river so just swim back.

Animal spawn rate SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED
James Hickok_1837 replied to FaTaL's topic in Troubleshooting
It hapened to me before Maybe 2 or 3 Times but changing sessions always did the trick. Have no issues for some Time now. Havent noticed reduction in spawn rates what So ever. No problem with finding chickens. I even made a movie wich ill post today showing insane spawn rates with ducks in the Dakota River area. -
8/2/19 News on Summer Update Coming Soon
James Hickok_1837 replied to Kean_1's topic in Red Dead Online
Some of the items you store are 20 in quantity but most of them are 10. Like big game meat, feathers, claws... I rarely use fast travel, mostly i just change region and all on horse is lost so i dont gather big pelts and game anymore. -

James Hickok_1837 replied to Kean_1's topic in Red Dead Online
I get Your point. Im not against private lobbies. About the griefing posse - when i meet one i just destroy them and change session bcoz i dont want to waste time with idiots and it makes them rage so hard It was a couple of days ago - Note that those assclowns were chasing a defensive stance player but happen to cross my path as well Funny thing is after they get killed they parley with me lol. Most of those players find one weak prey to bully but when they meet their match they run. -
Use of explosive rounds in pvp.
James Hickok_1837 replied to Bucnation3139's topic in Red Dead Online
Sometimes i use them to tip the match in my favour. I always use express ammo tho. When im out i get out of the match to refill. -
Lol i bought those sadle bags early in game and was mad bcoz it didnt change nothing and took some amount of first rdo$ that were So much needed.
-
Yeah partner! 20 would be very nice. Im realy hoping for ability to buy/sell animal FAT when trading is introduced. For now Best Way for me to farm FAT are pigs in farms (when i kill them i Just change session and most of the times they respawn. Also along the Dakota River there are a lot of ducks at the banks and they respawn really fast. I hate the sounds of boars but KOS them everytime 😉

You can change server anytime you want. You dont need to interact when you dont want to. Just change session. Even if You have pelts stored on horse and loose them its not that much of a fuss. I dont hunt as much nowdays but when i do i dont collect pelts anymore. It takes too much time to store them and i constantly change region to gather every type of feather/paw/claw/meat. -
Shame we cant store more than 10 tho....

Dont really care about the dog aspect but i am happy that you can progress all 3 roles at the same Time. Would be cool to be able to make 2nd char tho. Didnt hear anything about properties tho. They r keeping it till next update i think. -
My horse disappearing trick :

Yeah i developed an obsession on birds in rdro and in real life lol. EDIT: btw can some1 tell me please how to put videos from YT in the post so that it can be played directly instead of redirecting to YT page. EDIT 2: Thanks C20Dragon !!
-

I have only one SS of my character "posing" so here it is P.S. Dont ask about the donkey It was my ride for the day

Do you reset your daily streak?
James Hickok_1837 replied to James Hickok_1837's question in Questions & Answers
Yes im lvl 188 atm. Was thinking when they Will reset the streak bcoz i think its not working as intended and should reset itself after Day 28. Im suspecting that next update money sinks Will demand a large amount of Gold and rdo$ so was thinking the similar Way. Maybe its good Just to exploit the situation. Thx for your Input partner! -
Im currently on day 69 (lol yeah) of the streak (would have been more but i had problems with the last update and had to take a day off) and thinking what is better: 1. Keeping the streak and gain gold bars faster ( i really dont need them atm and saved some) 2. Breaking the streak by not doing daily and reseting it to get the xp boost for each week?
