This feedback is crucial to help shape the game as we move forward. Today we are starting to implement the first set of adjustments to the game including changes specifically geared towards creating a more balanced, fun and rewarding overall experience, across all modes and missions. These include: Increasing the cash and gold payments across a number of different activities including Free Roam Missions, Free Roam Events, replays of A Land of Opportunities Missions, Showdown Series modes and more. Reducing the prices of most weapons in the Wheeler, Rawson & Co Catalogue and Gunsmiths. For players that have already purchased weapons at the previous prices, we will automatically deposit the difference to player balances starting today - please look for an alert message the next time you log in to the Red Dead Online Beta to notify you of this change, refunds may take up until December 10th to reach all players. Balancing the values of select pelts, skins and fish as well as horse reviver and pamphlets. Of course our efforts to improve and balance the Red Dead Online Beta will continue. We are conscious of and still evaluating an assortment of further adjustments based on feedback from the community. We are currently working on fixes for some persistent bugs that are causing some players to be kicked from sessions, and we aim to have fixes for these live next week. We will also continue to review all the feedback and suggestions so please keep them coming to reddeadonline.com/feedback. As an added thank you for playing and helping us through the beta period, we're also awarding everyone that joined in to play the Red Dead Online Beta at any point through midnight PST today with a gift of RDO$250 and 15 Gold Bars. Gifts should start arriving today and will hit all eligible players by Friday, December 14th. Once again, we want to thank everyone for playing the Red Dead Online Beta and sharing their experiences so far with us. There’s still lots more to come so please stay tuned! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like things just got tweaked a bit like you said in another thread. ......cost lowered, payouts increased, values balanced so they make more sense, etc. Regardless of what certain individuals might say, this is not a P2W economy. Gold bars (for the most part) are limited to aesthetic items which is what R* said their plans were. Personally, I wish they would have just stuck to in-game dollars like GTA but my gut tells me this is due to some plans they may have to introduce gambling later down the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poggy Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Yeah, they had to split the cash for gambling. I'd rather they do that, and have some MTs than not have poker. Fair trade IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I's sure they wanted to keep the stock market in GTAO but had to cut it for that reason. .....can't sell in-game money for real currency and then have folks be able to gamble with it. The gold bars make sense in that respect. I just don't like how they are tied to horse insurance currently. Cosmetics are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonestar Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Free cash and bars, cheaper weapons, higher earning potential. Sounds good 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what's funny..... The horse I started out with from the first intro mission was about as good as the Chestnut Arabian I cashed in as a freebie. Trouble is, now my horse gets taken from me for weird reasons and I have to pay 5 gold bars (I didn't have previously) for insurance. I wish I would have just kept the other horse for now. I rarely got stuck with the nag and it was available every time I logged in. .....with the Arabian, I have to go to the stable every time I start a new game to recover it.

Well the one I have beats the one I got from the stealing mission in speed and stamina, I got the worst one from those 4 choices. I didn't know they had different stats when I started so I chose the one I though was more appealing to the eyes. 19 minutes ago, Kean_1 said: .....with the Arabian, I have to go to the stable every time I start a new game to recover it. You mean when you call the Arabian the Scrawny Nag shows up? if so, it's a bug... I posted a work around in another topic:https://www.rdr2.org/forums/topic/3384-free-roam-missing-horse/ If that's not what you meant, then ignore this message hahahaha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Rockstar, I am sure there will be a faster horse soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I'll check that as well. Would this fee go away with insurance? Curious as to why I would have this fee with my Arabian and not the other horse I had. ......which I sold like an idiot since I didn't have the money to stable both.

I paid the $4 and the respawn issue (getting the nag instead of my Arabian) seems to have abated. ......at least during last night's session. Also, insurance was now $150 instead of 5 gold bars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stackcluster Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 What I usually do is pay 4$, disconect, reconnect then call my horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
