Truth

So if I want to play a more casual way (PvE server) and start there, and my friends choose to start their game on a PvP server, none of us should have to completely restart the game just so we can play with each other for a bit. That makes no sense whatsoever.

Except that it segregates players...

So they named him after you? They must really love you man, keep up the good work! With so much to do offline, I have no problem waiting for the issues to be resolved (and players to be removed from the map).

Edit: Why am I so bad with gifs?

That's in the OP now. I also want to clarify that I found it on google, don't want to take someone else's credit.

There we go. Forgot to expand it before I quoted it. At the very least it can be used as a checklist for herbalist 9.

This may or may not help:

Cartoony, but an interesting game. Kind of pointless though, you make money to buy cosmetics. The pvp threat is what kept me interested there. If you didn't keep an eye on your ship while you were on an island, someone could come along and take all your loot (or just sink your ship). Some people would hide out and ambush you as you went to sell your loot. Not sure what it's evolved into though. I just really enjoyed how you were never really safe. Even with a group, you still had to have someone watching for enemies.

Not sure if you've played it (or heard of it), but this was a big topic in Sea of Thieves. I enjoyed that there was always a risk of sailing too close to another ship. You never knew if that person was just trying to play casually, or if they were just trolls looking for someone to screw with. Either way, the threat was what made it fun for me. The difference: you can't see other players on the map. In my opinion, that makes it fair. Nobody can just spawn in and start trolling, they have to actually go out and find someone.

I feel like you'd be over complicating things by adding so many dedicated servers. They would essentially need 3 different versions of the SAME game for 2 separate systems AND the severs to run them. Sounds like a lot of work for nothing.

I shouldn't be forced to grind the same game twice just because my friends and I want to pvp once in a while.

Removing the blips would solve the problem. You can't troll me if you can't find me... It's one simple change that would allow them to keep ALL players together and satisfied.

Nobody criticized your suggestion, just your choice of petitioning R* to implement it. Someone posted a link R* gave them for suggestions, I'll try to dig that up for you. Edit: www.rockstargames.com/mouthoff

You're only putting yourself at a disadvantage by "grinding honorably" in PVP (in the given scenario). That's your own choice. All I would care for is the removal of player blips, I don't care about another mode.

Dude, it's a game... You're playing a game. There's nothing "honorable" about that...

Kids will be kids...

You're not alone. I don't see anyone flat out saying it should not be added. Most people just don't see the value in it but don't care either way.

How about they just remove the player blips? I feel like that solves most problems. Trolls can still troll, they just have to find you first. Casual players can still play casually, but they still have to watch their backs. That also sounds a lot better.

Still strange, understandable. This was also a big argument for them as well. I will say it makes A LOT more sense in RDR2 than in F13, but still doesn't really add anything to the game.

Depends how it was added. I was referring to full sex, not "fade to black" like you suggested. If it changes the rating, it would change the number of people willing to buy it. Many parents are fine with buying an M rated game for their kids, they might be put off by an AO rating. I don't feel it adds enough to the game to be worth it. That's my opinion. I don't have a problem with it, I just don't think it's that important and don't understand why so many people care so much about this one little thing. How often would you go visit a prostitute in the game? Once? Twice? Is that worth the time and money to add?

Make sure you're just using regular ammo. Never had a problem using that.

Jameson! I wouldn't say it adds another layer... It would add a few minutes (probably less) of cartoon sex. That's just fluff content, like the fact you can punch your horse and have it launch you off a bridge. Yeah, it's there for those that want to do it ( @BropolloCreed79) but it really adds nothing productive to the game. (As stated) I wouldn't have a problem with it, I just don't see the point of adding fluff content that limits the number of people that would buy the game. That's a dumb decision for any game (in my opinion).

That's just an attempt to keep the trolls happy. Realistically, they still have to find you in the first place. then you're only on the map for a limited time (per @M_Ono7's suggestion). As for the flying vehicles, the UFO is already in the game. I wouldn't be surprised if they made it some dlc for online...

Seems that the cap is based on how far you are in the story. Most I could get was 500 for a long time. Now I'm on chapter 4 and I can get it to 1500.

That's what I meant, and also what I figured they would do... I need to play it myself, but as of right now you have my support. Sounds like a much better way to do it to me. I hated GTAO because of that...
