Camp locating - Dysfunctional

[Mazier_Drave]

Yesterday I thought, I'll toddle off down to Armadillo/Tumble weed area, maybe see if I can get away from some of the less desirable elements and the pond life.

 

Upon arrival in Gap Tooth Ridge,   I go to the camp icon 2nd reel menu, then 'small camp' then at the top it says 'Gap Tooth Ridge'........ $2 is removed and the legend comes up on the right hand of the screen... Your camp has been set up in Scarlett Meadows.

What? To be fair it was in Scarlett Meadows but I wasn't and was $2 down.

Try again.....

'Your camp has been set up in the Grizzlies'

Really? The closest I managed to get a camp after ten attempts,  which gave me camps all over the map except for anywhere near me, was Cholla Springs... the furthest possible place in Cholla Springs away from me I noted.

 

Anyone else getting this issue? Or am I just the lucky winner of this hugely annoying glitch? Yes, I have made an official feedback complaint.

I think many others are having all kinds of similar issues with the camp.  It's very broken and quite pointless. I hope camp functionality gets an update soon like economy did.  At present its worse than useless.

I can't imagine this is/was how camps are supposed to function, hope they'll sort it too, but at the moment this is a barrier to the experience... after a bit of hunting and it's getting late and you've found a beautiful spot with a view... you can't pitch up and sit by a fire, you might have a bag of meat but nothing to eat. At the moment though it still feels better to just keep going than to sit at camp with Cripps, who never says a thing. The only night the atmosphere lightened up a bit was when he played Strangers In The Night on his mouth organ...

To be honest, the camp placing has improved, because one day last week Cripps packed up the camp and moved it away from beside the Dakota River, *as I was swimming over the river towards it*! That was annoying, but he hasn't done it so blatantly since, I think he's getting tired of the joke...

For me, the camp spawn feature no longer spawns the camp in the region I select.  It has been consistently placing it in different regions even after successive attempts.  

I just submitted a bug report to R* on it.  I'd suggest others do the same if they are having issues as well.

I am not a fan of this system. It is one of my biggest complaints for the online game. I hate that I have to travel shorter or further distances when I am out doing things if it randomly decides to change. That and sometimes I like the area it is placed in for hunting purposes so when it just randomly shoots half way across the map, it is VERY inconvenient.

I can't tell if Cripps is an inbred cretinous mute or evil troll genius.  Eitherway it's annoying.
