KylesDad7 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I'm pretty tired of this. Spending hours hunting, I've got all kinds of pelts on my horse, then on the way to the butcher some random player or perhaps NPC gang will come along, I get killed, respawn and BOOM! all my horse stowed pelts are now gone. Hours of hunting down the drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hours of hunting down the drain. Not exactly sure how it's supposed to work but I'll give you an example of an instance last night where I was killed and didn't lose my pelts... It was late and I wanted to turn in my skins (including a big game one) to the butcher. I was already close to Valentine when I noticed a posse of two in town. I knew better since the leader was at the butcher but his indicator was full brightness suggesting they were not engaged with the merchant. Anyhow, I rode up to the butcher and was promptly engaged by the troll. He was waiting to ambush anyone who was there to trade. Unfortunately for him, here got a face full of buckshot. Against better judgement I tried to hurry up any get in the merchant menu but was stabbed by his posse mate. When I respawned, I called my horse and saw all the pelts were still there. I killed the guy that stabbed me and the leader as he tried to run toward us. These griefers were not any good at what they do and I later noticed they were only level 11. ....I'm level 42 and my friend is a few ranks higher. They were easily dispatched. Anyhow, I decided to ride down to Rhodes and leave these guys to do whatever trollish things they do in Valentine. I got my money for all of my goods, we did some bird hunting and signed off. ......but not without blocking their profiles first. btw, if I didn't have goods that I was worried about losing and was either solo or with one of my more aggressive mates, I would have stayed to reverse grief these guys until they left the session. ....instead of just killing them a couple times.

BurbonChaser Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Might depend on how far away you spawn from your horse. Maybe that's why some griefers kill my horse when I'm loaded with pelts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case (last night), I respawned in the area near "The Boy" in Valentine (if you know where that side mission is). I was stabbed right at the butchers table. My horse was there as well but they didn't get to it before I could call for it. ....but as I said, they really sucked at trying to be griefers.

Look like they sell sorta but no money. Pretty sad it’s still an issue. Yeah but his point is about being griefed by campers at the butcher and sometimes losing everything. I have issues too with not getting paid for all my pelts (didn't notice it getting worse though). .....but I still get decent money for what I do turn in including the 3 carcasses I usually have strapped to my horse.

Kean_1 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Forgot to mention that I did respawn manually once trying to see if that would help get a side mission to engage and lost what few pelts I had on my horse. No big loss as there weren't many and not worth much. Seems to be no discernable pattern that I've noticed as to what determines when you will lose or retain what's on your horse when killed.

jnaron_ngc Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I have completely abandoned saving pelts to my horse. As a matter of fact, I now play on foot exclusively. No telling how much money I have lost due to disappearing pelts after death or even worse disconnecting. Just maddening!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisCr0ss Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I assumed it had to do with the horse. Like if they kill the horse and loot it, then you lose all your pelts. I could be wrong. I try my best to get good and far from people when I am hunting for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hours of hunting down the drain. If you die and call your horse, the game sees this as a fast travel, so you lose all your pelts. So, if you die, try running to your horse, you'll have a chance of not losing everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the combination of proximity suggested earlier plays into it as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaderspupil Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I try to take extra caution when I've got a valuable carcass like a 3 star buck or cougar on the back of my horse. Anything less than that is easily replaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, there really doesn't seem to be anything set in stone for this. Me and a friend both died from an allergic reaction to dynamite. When we got back to our horses, I had my pelts and he did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish R* would provide more details on the mechanics of the game. They release information about such things in spurts ever since the game released. .....much of it surprising me because I never knew certain things had an affect or operated in that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, that sounds about right. And yes, they really leave us in the dark when it comes to game mechanics.

Cause what if they decide to change it or add new stuff. They don't want us to have a clue.. They want us to search and explore the whole world, and then watch 3 hours of YouTube to discover what we didn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be good if they put up a "here's how stuff works for now" list. Something to give us an idea of what we are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they don't hide anywhere on this site given there isn't any affiliation between R* and RDR2.org. This is a fan forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they still do it, but some companies used to hire people to surf the internet and follow the forums and what not. Just so companies would know what was actually being said.

Some even hire community representatives that help interact with their fans on various social media (e.g. Reddit, Twitter, etc.) incldung forums. Essentially gathering feedback, organizing it and reporting that information back up the food chain. Even product manufacturers do this. In the tech company I worked for the past 30 years, we had a department where one of their responsibilities was to follow such activity without participation unless it was via our own forums. I would be surprised if R* didn't do the same on some level even if it we're just minitoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
