     30k in game USD

    This is an oxymoron yes?

    In all fairness most of the people on forums for particular games are more dedicated in remaining loyal compared to the masses.

    I agree completely. 

    The forums are where the dedicated reside. But we're also a drop in the bucket of the actual player base. Nothing we say or do matters.

    This forum will die long before the game does.

    If not I see a lot of people quitting. 

    I guess this all depends on your definition of "a lot". My guess is, at most, they lose three percent. Peanuts.

    Personally, I don't think R* will reset anything, but they have every right to do so with no repercussions. Except the constant whining of it's players. Which we seem to do no matter what. Always something to bitch about right? 

    I'm also not disagreeing with you at all @Euphoric77. If I were you there's no way I would (re)grind for that long just to be back where you are right now. Too many games coming out to do that. But people will. 

    Hardly a blip for R*.

    Of course Rockstar can reset stats - if people that spent real mony get a refund that would be the only solution to avoid a major crapstorm from starting and it will still lead to a reduction of the playerbase - especially those that are willing to support Rockstar financially by buying gold. Whether anyone will notice the loss in playerbase is an entirely different matter, Rockstar would know.

    If "crapstorm" means anonymous people complaining online while still playing the game on a daily basis then yes, there will be a crapstorm.

  3. Rockstar has straight up said this is only a beta and there is a chance everything will be reset. 

    You spend money in the beta you run the risk of losing it. 

    Even if they did a reset without a reward (which probably won't happen), the loss of players would be minimal. Everyone would bitch online because that's what everyone does, but they'd still play.

    Oh that's great to know thank you :) So far I had no problem with BH's out there, I just wanted to go and have some fun being evil without getting to pay hundreths of dollars bounty afterwards ;ppp

    You've been able to ride into Blackwater with no problems from bounty hunters?

    How?

    Why?

    I would say it's a little bit of everything.

    Pure speculation here.

    They're the type to abuse exploits and glitches while calling it "meta" (dumb word) because, "if it was cheating it wouldn't be in the game."

    Anyone who gets the better of them is a "tryhard" and anyone who doesn't is a "noob". Terms they use way too often.

    They're convinced they're on the noble end of the argument. Mostly narcissists who can't tell the difference. 

    Social media is life. All about likes and views.

    This was my first and only post so actually it doesn't contradict anything. The count is going up because of my replies in THIS thread. By the way all you're doing is guessing. Nothing more.

    I don't think you understand what "at all" means young sir. 

    It is indeed a guess. But an educated one.

    Occam's Razor bub. 

  7. This conversation has turned full turd.

    If you were as good as you think you are (top 3...ha), you would be using your skill professionally. Judging from the fact that your trying to get views on Youtube (also terrible), I'm guessing you aren't.

    You're right but I didn't really care too much, chief. I don't use forums at all. 

    This is blatantly false. Your post count completely contradicts your "at all" charge.

    I would vote that this thread be closed because you're just fighting with each other now.

  8. Spoiler

    Kill any bird you see with plumes no matter what part of the quest you're on. You're going to need them all.

    It's very tedious but really gets you familiar with the Bayou NWA/Kamassa river region. 

    Manual save after every pluck. 

    Keep moving along the bank of the river from Caliga Hall to Bluewater Marsh. Then south through the swamps of Lagras. Repeat. You'll get there. Sucks though. 

    Spoiler

    Grab gator eggs when you can as well.

    Probably knew all that already.

  9. All I learned from that is that diving out of the way seems to be way over used. 

    Did you really create a thread on an internet forum to call yourself the best RDR player? That's turd city bro.

    Also, isn't this what everyone does in online? Aim-flick-fire? You're not too bad at making montage videos though. 

    Need to work on your narcissism.

  10. Of course it will be pay to win. That's R*'s MO. Many other developers too. 

    Why wouldn't it be? If the online portion of the game didn't make money, there would be no online portion of the game. 

    Not that I agree, but we're not going to get the online game we want. Games like this cater to trolls. They pay real money to piss people off.

    There was a guy in a server I was in who went around killing people, then got mad when I killed him and said, “this ain’t GTA”, he came back killed me and my horse and then proceed to kill me and others again. 

    This is textbook troll mentality. 

    “I can do it but how dare you do it to me” 

    Some are legit sociopaths who simply can’t make the distinction between right and wrong. 

    The anonymity of the internet brings out the worst in some people.

    it isn't right that i could kill a guy 5 times in a row.

     

    Fixed that for you. 

    I've enjoyed this thread. 

    If I had the final say in how this gets changed/fixed it would be this;

    Make senseless killing horribly inconvenient. Bounties that deplete your cash and if you can't pay, you can't play (jail) for a real life amount of time. Relentless waves of bounty hunters. Make committing terrible crimes come with terrible consequences. If you're willing to pay them, ok.

    But this doesn't seem to be the Rockstar way. The trolling is encouraged because they spend the money online. And if not for making money, online wouldn't be around.

    i hate playing the "numbers" dominoes.  Go to Emerald Station, they play what we call "straight" dominoes.  doesn't matter what numbers are on the ends, you go domino to win, and get the opponents points from their remaining pips.

    This is what we always played IRL. That or "draw" dominoes. 

    The "numbers" ones are fairly quick so I figured I could knock it out fast. Two hours last night and not a single win. 

    Still gotta be missing a key strategy I think. It's virtually impossible to lose that much without rigged AI. 

  14. Ok is there something I'm missing playing dominoes? I think I've lost 40 consecutive matches. 

    Tried the All 5's game in St. Denis with a couple fellas and that proved a complete waste of time. Then played about 30 rounds of All 3's with Abigail in camp and she waxed me. I mean it was a blood bath. She almost seemed to have magical powers. 

    Which led me to this, am I missing something? Is there a strategy that I'm not getting? I've played dominoes for many years, never the "multiples" variation in the game but they're all pretty similar, and I've never seen this level of luck.

    I almost feel like the game is rigged to a point where the NPC is choosing available dominoes from their own hand and the boneyard, unbeknownst to you. They always have the right play.

    I mean I'm losing games in incredible fashion. 87 points with a play to win and she pulls out the double 6 and busts me with 21 points. I drew 11 straight no plays from the boneyard the FIRST hand to finish with 13 and 83 points to the winner. Game over.

    I gotta be missing something.  

  15. I was just hoping they would be able to curb it with an aggressive bounty system but it doesn't look like that's happening.

    Make it so killing other players comes with a harsh bounty and hunters at every corner.

    Make it so continuing to play the game after committing murder is burdensome and frustrating. Zero fun and costly to erase. 

    Rockstar doesn't want that though. Or they would have done it. Hell, they did it in single player.
