The smartest way to fix this is to make any of those things that we are complaining about, a crime. Like IRL, murder, bank robbery, theft, etc. are crimes, therefore all these posses will have a reason for being. If I kill somebody outside of a mission or in a duel, then there should be a bounty on my head. Make it steep so as to have me lose a lot of money if I want to pay it off. BUT, make it lucrative for the posses to track down these criminals. Otherwise, what are the posses for? Base the bounty on how many crimes have been committed as would have happened back then. Banning a player for playing as a griefer/troll should not be a choice BUT to add on to that, if you lose all your money by paying off bounties, then perhaps some type of penalty could be done.

Hopefully R Star puts in a real bounty system and these griefers become wanted targets with no way of paying their own bounty

Isn't there a way to block them from playing on the server you are on?

We should have a permanent camp that we move when we want and can fast travel to after setting a small overnight camp somewhere else. Because of the distance to our camp, I have only been to mine a few times due to getting bushwhacked by griefers.

If this comment by Rockstar is true, then i can see why some might want to level up before official release. For players concerned about the potential for progress and stat resets, we currently do not have any plans to reset them as part of the Beta’s rollout.

I hate this type of play. I'm just glad we don't get robbed of all our possessions (including money) when it happens.

I admire you guys for what you are doing, why you ask...because every time i take the time to try to fish/hunt like this, i get bushwhacked by some errant posse or two. BUT...still having a blast.

Some of the replies lead me to believe some of you are talking about playing the Story mode and this is the online forum.

Thanks HuDawg,

Does HuDawg want to share?

You can set up camp where you want in online play? Hmmmm

I find hunting around my camp to be free of online players and have good luck getting quality animals BUT most times my camp is too far from a butcher.

I hear ya Harley, so as not to start a forum feud with you, I want to be able to play like you also but alas, it is online MP.

Auto aim is not a bad thing but auto aim where you can shoot as far as we can in this game is not a lot of fun. Most times i get killed from long range and it's a head shot. No free aimer can do that long distance.

Curious if the name of the game is RED DEAD or RED Hunter/Fisher and freely roam without consequence. I also hate getting killed for no reason but I did not buy this game to hunt (The Hunter Call of the Wild did that for me) and since I flyfish a ton IRL, I did not buy a shooting game for the fishing. Remove the blips, sure. Make the killing of others for no reason outside of a mission or in a duel a heavy bounty offense and makes the posses that form a viable thing to capture these western bad guys and bring them to justice. What would the purpose of Red Dead online be if we only hunted, fished and rode around? I don't find dragging your friends around after lassoing them to be any fun at all and boring as heck after doing it once or twice. So what other passive things would keep this online game fresh? Oh wait, maybe we could meet a member of the opposite sex and get married and raise kids....blah blah blah

There are 3 of them and one of you....guess you have to man up and join/make your own posse. This afterall an MP game not single player. I get the biatching about all the players running around killing everyone, that happens in every MP game and the biatching by you and me and others about is never going to chnage.

And then he went on a forum somewhere and complained about this arsehat named H...C... that shot him because he shot him before....do you see how that works?

Pray tell from reading all of this diatribe, what is it most of you want? It reads like you want to be able to play the single player game with friends and NOBODY else online with you. Where's the fun in that? Shooting BOTS and hunting and fishing is fun but it is NOT MP online. Don't get me wrong, I also hate what you are calling griefers and trolls but has that not been part of any MP online game through history?

That wasn't an insult that was a comment to those who do what I said all the time. But take it as you may, I know what i meant and so don't the forum trolls.

Was playing a round of Dispatch rider and when we died and respawned, we were doing so beside a river with the canyon walls between us and the target area. Needless to say it was just a deathmatch then.

Yeah, that is the worst part of this online for me. Would love to play free roam with the missions but most times i don't even make it to the mission start point without getting killed.

Maybe no more missions because it is an online mp game and we have to make our own missions of sorts. That's why the posse system seems to be the big push and NOT single player mission style.

I have to say that this is online mp. Therefore yes, players are going to want to kill you to stop you from doing stuff. If you want to do just missions, then player single player. Think about what i say before replying with the usual childish comebacks. FTR....I agree it is lame that players camp out at mission spots but go on the defense and kill them first.

It isn't the Stranger missions. Those show with a question mark in white It is random, Might be somebody saying they are hurt, etc.

Not sure how to word the title and if discussed, my apologies. I have a hard time finding the person belonging to the voice we hear as we ride around. What I mean is I will hear a voice cry out for help and I can't always find them. Any tips to make it easier and yes I use Dead Eye but doesn't always work.
