Mine was the lake spot. I did move around for a bit but spawned on somekind of a headland and didnt change much really.. Would like to see the river one as well.

Exactly. The game is easy enough and dont need to be dumbed down further. I personally would like it to be harder bcoz i like the challenge. I really dont want it to become another carebear island. It should be harsh, unforgiving world of the wild west ! There are tons of carebear games out there. Hunting, farming and so on. Currently lvl 78 and I still have a lot of fun playing and a lot to unlock, achieve. This is still a beta and im sure there will be more stuff to come. Im really looking forward to gambling and gunslingers duels, more weapon upgrades, somekind of prison system (where you will be locked if you got caught and can be rescued by Your posse) and hope they will be impemented in the game. I dont even care if they clean the beta chars when they get the final version of the game bcoz it will be fun for me to develop another character.

It finally popped for me 2 days ago and tried it. Was ok. Managed to rank 4th what was shock for me because i got like 12 Lb of Fish and the person winni g had almost 30. Then i saw that i had some extra points for not breaking the Line and a lot of fishes but small ones. Oh and one thing. The reward was good exp and moneywise. I bet 1st place gives good XP and bucks. Next Time when it pops ill join as well to drink a beer and Relax a bit.

Had issues with d/c a couple of weeks ago for a few days (i believe everyone had them that time). Had only one d/c for last 3 weeks and it happened 4 days ago. It does sux to d/c 4 times fully loaded tho. Did You have d/c issues before or just now? What about other games (if You play them) ? Try hunting for birds - they give a lot of money for feathers and will not despawn after d/c same like the fish. You can always got to pvp sessions or missions to gain some cash along the way. Not as fast as hunting tho but a good training pvp wise. -
Amen to that partner !

Same here. I havent got a map from hideouts for weeks now. Only those every 5 lvls. They screwed the drop rates for those i think. Sux. Less rewarding to do those hideouts now.

Ok no need to get angry here. I have a diffrent opinion. Nothing else to add here really. 10/10

Please dont. I dont want to hurt anyone here. just stating my thoughts. I saw him struggling with problems that really arent problems what so ever, getting frustrated. The game is what it is and (hopefully) will never be hello kitty island adventure. It's not that im saying for him to leave or that he is not welcome. I respect him as a person as much as i respect anyone here... cmon we r adults. At least most of us. He's idea of sharing makes no sense what so ever for me and looks like a lot of dev work to implemet such system and for what ? Did they share food in the Wild West? Were there boxes with meat on the trails? I would love to see gold mining (panning) for gold an option, would love to be able to sell crafted potions and remedies to other players, would love to have gambling in saloons.

Happens to me as well. I usually run away from the zone and come back. seems to work for me.

Is there any reason to outfit Cripps?
James Hickok_1837 replied to lumper's topic in Red Dead Online
cosmetics are cool if You are into it. What all shoud really do first is to buy 3 good weapons, and ability cards first and a good horse along the way. After You have ability card sets You can think about other stuff. Ability cards require a lot of money im lvl 75 and dont have em all yet. Its just a good advice. spending early dollars for cosmetics is not a good choice. -
There is no reason to implemet this imo. Animals are everywhere. If You manage to kill all of them in a spot zone just run away a bit and come back they spawn again. What is the point in sharing those ? Even good to leave animals to rot - it attracts birds and whatnot to the carcass and you can kill em too Puting a 3 star turkey on Your horse is a waste of space. It only gives You one $ - there are animals that get You twice as much. No offence but i've been reading Your posts for a while and i noticed that You tend to create a lot of artificial problems that haunt You in some way - maybe this online game isn't for You? Now this is how I play as well. I kill every animal i see. If it flies it dies, if it crawls it dies, some fishes in the water ? boom goes my dynamite. Even if i have full pelts, paws, tooths, feathers etc and moving to the butcher to sell em i kill every animal i can on the way - its xp. I run stuff over with my horse as well coz its funny and gives You xp. Hell i run ppl over for the achievement. I dont shoot blue dots unless i see some suspicious sh*t. Not that im a bad person irl. Its just a game and im making most fun of it i can while maximizing my xp and money gain.

Dont really like fishing but ill try it one time if i see it pops. Was playing y-day for 4 hours and didnt see it.
-
I get You there. You are trying to be nice for me some1 riding into me (99% of those situations are done intentionally) is a no go by my book.

Despawning, despawning, despawning... I hate this. As a matter of fact i dont recall this beeing an issue when i started playing (maybe bcoz i was mostly doing missions and pvp till lvl 25 when i realised i need sh*t load of $ for ability cards and some recipes, weapons). I hate the fact i shoot 5,6 or 7 birds and then some of them despawn. Also i dont get why i cant lasso a bird or deer that fell in to the water. A lot of times birds fall in the deeper waters and im frustrated i cant rope them to the shore. For hunting i use only Varmint and bolt action with fast bullets, clean them constantly, use dmg cards like peak condition and horseman so if i fail to hit the kill spot thay still die from one shot.

Basically in situations like this ( horse accident lol) the first thing You should do is kill that guy then quickly pick up and sell.

How to deal with Slippery Bastards?
James Hickok_1837 replied to cadashka's topic in Red Dead Online
Got and use both of the cards PiB and SB i mean. Both are broken imo. Pib should not lock on to some1 using sb and sb should have a cooldown to use so ppl wont lock on, shoot and then go back to sb. SB is usefull in some showdowns - i dont use it in free roam maybe bcoz im not the gank others type. I like slow and steady the most followed by PiB. -
Saw a lot of red dots in Valentine y-day when i was passing hunting. Was curious what the fuss was about - i guess it was this. I hope this gets adressed soon - i saw too many online games fall bcoz of exploits and i dont want this game to share the same fate. I like it too much.
-
Tried fishing but i dont like it, my thumb is kiling me from the reeling and it takes too long. I fish with dynamite on shallow waters... boom and pick up. ofc they are not 3 stars but it adds up to my normal hunting route (pelts, meat, paws, feathers etc). 45 mins gives me 100-130 $ depending on luck with birds. Area is not popular so sometimes no one bothers me for even 2 or 3 hours. Anyway almost finished grinding for cash ... have almost all cards that i want maxed out , weapons maxed out and dont care about the outfits that much. Playing more pvp games now and sometimes mission to cool off a bit from the pvp, drink a beer etc.
-
Although i dont like the idea of this defensive / ofensive modes. I dont have problems with players trying to kill me i kill em back. I like the thrill when entering towns and areas with a lot of players so ofensive for me. I like the threat of being shot in the head while skinning an animal etc. It makes the game more real for me. It's the wild west....
-
I reset all that can be reset instantly. You still keep the buckle. It greatly increases Your XP gain and gives some gold. There are some of them You can make in one hunting run - like killing fish with dynamite. It can be done in a minute, then reset, buy dynamite while selling meat and pelts, repeat. Combined with other achievements is a huge boost to XP gain in free roam untill You max em out to lvl 10 i think.
-
Lone wolf for me atm as well. Although i get a lot of random invites i just ignore them. I really want to get all my ability cards to tier 3 so mostly i hunt grinding cash and when i have enough of hunting for the day i join showdowns and other pvp modes. I still need about 8 k $ to upgrade them all. Level 62 atm - i guess ill be lvl 70+ when i finish. After that i will look for a team to play with daily.
-
Thanks for the advice 😁 Damn im pretty sure i saw my thief a couple of Times too in tumbleweed. Dual sawed off's to the face it was 😀 Good for You for organizing. This game is So fun. So many ways to play it. I dont get the whiners with private mode crap.
-
I deleted my first char when he was lvl 6 and this is my 2nd one. I did recieve treasure maps from gang hideouts with my 2nd char but for some time now i cant seem to get a single one. I clear about 5 hideouts daily and dont get a single map. I've too noticed that dead enemies can despawn from the site after clearing it. Same thing with shot animals and despawning carcasses. Its really annoying. Distance between dead animals is not that big but it still seems to despawn when u get a little away from it.
-
Was robbed y-day while selling stuff to butcher. Some dude took my perfect carcass from my horse lol. I was sure that when i trade my horse is off limits but hey guess i was wrong. Anyway i shot that guy that did that in the head with a sawed off. Man i love this game.

Whenever You gain or loose weight there is a quick animation on Your health circle showing a weight icon with an arrow pointing up or down depending on loosing or gaining weight. It only lasts for a second or so.
