Poggy Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I encountered a couple of griefers last night whose avatars were ghosted out (like PVP respawn) for about a minute - I couldn't shoot them (they couldn't shoot me either), but when I gave up and walked away they 'materialized' and shot me in the back? Was this just a very fortunate glitch for them, or some exploit? Anyone had anything similar? First time anything like this has happened to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAYETTAAYY Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Was this near a fast travel spot or anything like that? When you enter the stage coach fats travel menu you are protected i know that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poggy Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 I dont believe so, but I wasnt paying much attention to my surroundings at the time - it was near Valentine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YodaMan 3D Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 If they are dealing with a merchant, they are protected, don't know about anything else though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volt Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I've seen this occur in the gun shop at Rhodes. I assume it's intentional so players can shop at the store in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happened here, a guy did this near a train track, no vendor near him... might be the signpost thing, I need to check if there was a fast travel there. I stood there for 2 or 3 minutes beating him senseless, the punches were connecting on both of us but no damage, when I rode away he became normal again, I was aware he could pull some coward bullsh*t and shot him first as soon as he pointed the gun.

Moosh89 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Could they be using the handheld catalogue? (Hold Left-Directional pad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinXX Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 People are using this against other players. I know if you are in the middle of buying something or interacting with a merchant you can't be shot and the fast travel spots grant you some protection as well. Soon as they think they can get you, they come out and just go guns blazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been shot and lassoed while dealing with the butcher. @kromdar29no this is not a in town only thing. i have seen players riding out in the middle of nowhere ghosted, i dont know how its done but i can only guess that it is some kind of glitch/hack/exploit. No doubt and I have been seeing it more and more lately. Was doing a mission and saw a player do it. He was moving from NPC to NPC killing them with his knife.

Poggy Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 If this becomes a frequent thing it'll break the game. It's one thing to have annoying trolls, but annoying INVULNERABLE trolls - that's just ridiculous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitched Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 My friend had a glitch he could make in gta online where he would become immortal. I was thinking maybe this could be something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played last night and got shot right after the merchant. Fun times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be shot or roped while dealing with a merchant. I have had it done several times already. I think it may be a lag issue, but it has happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's little point in people becoming hysterical as many are on YouTube. Rather, calmly and coolly one has to ask .... Why? For example..... Is it historically proven that 'game griefers' spend more money on transactions than non-griefing players? Or some other reasons which I cannot be bothered to think of. Also one has to say, this forum has a few active members with a membership total of c.1872. ...... Meanwhile YouTube content makers, attract thousands of views ... But the first weekend alone, 17 million copies were sold.... 17 million....... This means we are all in a tiny, tiny minority of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See I don't believe that griefers will spend more money then non-griefers. I think the issue is you don't see the non-griefers effects cause you don't see the effects of it, they don't do it just to grief. As for YouTubers, that is because no one wants to do the work themselves. They want to see the shortcuts, the cheats, the glitches. They YouTubers can get away with teach people how to do all that because they are providing free advertisement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I am not saying anything because I don't know.... One would like to imagine that is the case, but we don't know .... However I do suspect the more people speculate, the more they get aerated about the not knowing. As for YouTube, yes I hear you... But the long and short of it is, there are definitely hysterical people on so many occasions ranting about a game, not only this one. If people think RDR2 On-Line is copping grief, then go have a look at Fallout 76 ...... If people cared as much about world hunger as they do video games, I suspect there would be few hunger problems left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been my experience as well. Players will actually turn to ghosts while transacting after you press L2. Once you are done, that's it. .....you're free game. Btw, R* already announced last week that griefing was one of the more popular complaints they have received and will be implementing new "anti-griefing" measures after the holidays. .......so whether some choose to dismiss the issue or not, all that matters to me is that a large part of the feedback they've been receiving has exposed it, R* acknowledges it and they will be doing something about it. What exactly that will be, we'll just have to wait and see. The game is still in beta and a work in progress so I'm not too bound up over it for now. I think what's important to note is that R* does read the feedback and it's more important now more than ever to submit yours if you have any. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
