Here is the "state of the update":

RED DEAD ONLINE BETA: THE ROAD AHEAD

With each passing week we continue to add more to the Red Dead Online Beta, and the next four weeks will bring new Showdown Modes and Racing Modes, as well as a new Free Roam Event that launched earlier today. Alongside incorporating player feedback and addressing existing issues, the beta period has allowed us to lay the groundwork for the more advanced aspects of Red Dead Online still to come. Our experience of building other online worlds has helped us create a more evolved foundation for the open spaces of Red Dead Online, but the world of Red Dead Online will evolve in its own unique direction - one in which players have greater freedom to customize their play style uniquely over time, allowing them to sink into the world and their character and feel more connected to the experience of living as cowboys, outlaws and gunslingers in the wilds of 19th century America.

The next major update is currently planned to arrive later this Spring, bringing a host of feature upgrades and new content including:

The Hostility System
The Hostility system builds upon the anti-griefing measures added in February with smarter and responsive features that keep players immersed in the world through confrontations and PvP action. For example, players who have damage inflicted on them by attackers will be able to defend themselves without incurring Bounties or Hostility increases. Previously, the attacker and target would be marked as an enemy - now the attacker who inflicts damage will be immediately marked as an enemy to the attacked player; players will not accumulate Hostility increases for killing other players who are marked as an enemy.

Hostility increases will not apply within structured events such as Free Roam Events, Free Roam Missions, Showdowns and Races. Engaging in player vs player behaviors related to Free Roam missions will not incur Hostility increases, however attacking other players not engaged in the activity will cause your Hostility level to rise.  

The Hostility System has many more functions and will help balance experiences for all play styles.

Offensive and Defensive Playing Style Options
Some players just want to immerse themselves in the world, riding, hunting and fishing in peace. We want to offer these options while allowing players to coexist comfortably alongside other players in the world. The Offensive Playing Style is much like the current Free Roam play as we know it while the Defensive Playing Style is a more evolved version of the Passive Mode concept, designed for Red Dead Online’s more grounded experience - giving players more flexibility in how they interact with the world and at the same time de-emphasizing hostile contact with other players. 

Choosing the Defensive option introduces balances that complement a less confrontational approach: Defensive players cannot be lassoed by rival players - although if a Defensive player lassos another player, they’ll be removed from Defensive play and incur a significant Hostility level increase. Defensive players will trade the ability to lock on to other players for the benefit that other players will not be able to lock on to Defensive players. 

While Defensive players can target and be targeted in free aim, they cannot deliver or receive critical hits – if a Defensive player is attacked with a headshot, they’ll survive and be able to defend themselves via the Hostility system or escape all while remaining Defensive. There are several other adjustments that come with the Defensive Playing Style, all of which are built to work seamlessly with systems like Hostility and Bounties to keep all players rooted in the world.

Some other new additions include:

• More A Land of Opportunities Missions: continue Jessica LeClerk’s search for revenge as you explore the path of a Gunslinger or an Outlaw
• New Free Roam Mission givers and mission types: Red Dead Online is set in the years before the single player story so expect to encounter a range of new and familiar faces as you traverse the frontier
• The introduction of dynamic events: fight off ambushes, initiate rescues, defend folks in need and more as you travel across the world

All this, plus updates to the character creator, restructured Daily Challenges that eliminate hostile gameplay in Free Roam and introduce streaks for bigger rewards, the return of another classic weapon, the LeMat Revolver from the original Red Dead Redemption, and much more.

In the coming months, we will continue to add features and content that will allow players to immerse themselves in the world of Red Dead Online in brand new ways as they choose what kind of life they will make for themselves in frontier America.

Hopefully fix's. Server issues haven't been as bad but happened several times over the weekend.

[Kean_1]

Could be.  I just tried to log on to see if there were any info screens to show more info and it seems RDO is offline right now.  We should know soon enough.

EDIT: Just saw your edit.  OK.  I will update this thread with the details.

All of rockstars servers are down at the moment, including GTAO .... All rockstar platforms are showing error connecting to online services

 

[peppino79]

after updating the game to version 1.07 the result is: at the moment it is impossible to connect to the rockstar game services. try again later. (error 0x50000006)

[Zanzo]

Yeah I'm still waiting for them to go back up, but i got the unannounced update already

[Traks1]

Wow!. Did a download to fix stuff (but not the things most mentioned across fora) just break R* online?. Mind boggled.

[Poggy]

Still offline.  Weird.

[minQkel]

I can't even download it. Stuck at 10mb. I was playing and the game just shut down while I was in a firefight. :(

[Kean_1]

I think it's safe to assume that they are simply updating things on their end as well and online will resume soon enough.

[Herta47]

Still no connection after update ??

This blows.. Way to make things better by not being able to let us play

 

[DNMNetTech]

I have read many comments and seen videos of people saying to boycott the game. Maybe R* is boycotting us? "I don't really believe that"

Is R* having an attack on their servers causing them to be unavailable? Are they trying to prepare for no more Beta and something went wrong? Is this the Acame servers performing the content delivery that is causing the issue. (Could be why it is also impacting GTA Online) So many possibilities...

[Kean_1]

I would like to remind everyone to remain civil toward one another and respectful of the forum rules.  Abusive and/or insulting exchanges will not be tolerated.

I see a lot of new faces here which is great but please, there is no need for some of what I'm seeing here.  

[Azzimovve]

+1

[Kean_1]

Seems some are still unable to listen.

I am cleaning up this thread and removing some of the fatuos comments.  I will update this thread when there is news about the servers. I also welcome those to comment if they have something constructive to contribute.

[Texasmade]

Hey how long do y'all think the servers will be down. Do yall think they are doing the resets for the people who did the glitches
