Im not whining about anything.. Im telling how it is.     

Are we not playing the same game?  You gonna sit there and tell me that this game isn't joke in terms of unabalanced ability cards, tonics, explosive rounds and auto aim?

 Most people will agree with me in seconds.    Its people who thinks its perfect as is, that is the minority.

 

 

No, we are playing the exact same game, and every once in a blue moon I get frustrated with the same things you do (but not even a fraction of the amount of times you do by the sound of things)... But we’ve all heard it before and not one of us can do anything about it... So when are you going to just let people get excited about something coming without ‘telling it like it is’ yet again?

Such a solid crafted gun. They don't make em like this anymore. I feel like it was once an art form that people prided themselves in.

If you played with me, you'll notice that its not from a point of frustration.  Its more from a point of just telling it how it is.  This game could be so much better if R* tweaked the little things.  

I don't look at it from a 'once in a blue moon'.  I look at it from the perspective of, it can happen, so it will happen, so someone should fix it.

My frustration is with R* not doing their jobs and ignoring the player base.  Simple little things that they could fix/balance out anytime they want with little effort that they completely ignore (Sometimes for months on end, and in terms of GTA for years)

I mean, I love the last major update that added the roles.  But when NPCS are no longer a threat and PVP turns into players acting like T1000's it diminishes the excitement, fun and any sort of challenge in terms of game play.   R* has a habbit throwing more fuel into the fire instead of actually controlling the fire.

NPCS too easy?  Instead of balancing the game play R* will add more NPCS with more insane spawn mechanics.  Its a backwards way of doing things.

I believe that some black powder revolvers had a notch on the cylinder in an area that didn't mess with the revolver's timing. This allowed all cylinders to be loaded without the hammers firing pin resting on a cap. I could be wrong though. 

I have 2 reproduction cap and ball revolvers, 3rd Model Colt's Dragoon and a Colt 1861 Navy (mechanically almost identical to the 1851, but with the smoothed off lines and round barrel, like a slightly smaller 1860 Army) - both Uberti replicas.

Both of them have nodules/raised bumps on the cylinders in between the caps, which are supposed to engage with a notch on the hammer, to lock the cylinder in place and prevent the hammer resting on a cap.  However, all of the ones on the Navy and most on the Dragoon have worn so much that they don't work, and you can rotate the cylinder by hand.  I think the trouble is that the cylinder is made of mild steel, and the bumps are only small, and get worn away easily when engaging with the hardened steel hammer.

If I was carrying either of mine in a holster going about my day to day business, I would only load 5.

Look, I’m not disagreeing with you... I’m just begging you wait until next week when the ‘Moonshiners is broken’ or ‘I can’t run my still because griefing’ threads come out... Nothing against you or your point of view... but you are kind of being the guy that ruins christmas by telling all the kids Santa isn’t real...

 The cap and balls worked a little different from than the cartridge revolvers of the day. But they all had flaws. For example, colts had a partial **** notch that was supposed to keep the pin off the primer... but that thin metal notch didn’t always hold reliably. After some use, it didn’t hold at all. Kind of the reason why things like transfer bars exist today.

 

C O C K.... come on board managers... update the bloody autocensors to allow common words around firearms already...

I'll let a lot of things slide unchallenged on here but this isn't the time for that kind of talk.

To be honest, the only beef that I have is that I just want all the bugs and disconnection issues with the game to be fixed, so that everyone can play the game and enjoy it, regardless of the platform that they choose to game on.

So glad I stockpiled collections for this update...had 63 full collections sitting waiting to be sold. Already up to level 83 on the 2nd Outlaw pass, not to mention earning 18K and 7 overall levels. Shack is bought, cook hired and equipment acquired. Kind of sucks that there's no fast travel at the shack and limited choices of locations though.

Well I really don't care about the griefers so much.   I don't think I've ever complained about them, infact I usually defend griefers.   Hell, theres been few times I've almost went full heal and turned griefer.  Figure the best way to get people to jump on R* support and request game changes is to 'grief' everyone in the most evil way possible.

I haven't done that yet..  But I can see the day coming.

Anyways..  Todays the day.     So.. here we gOooOo!

I applaud your dedication to making the game fun bud. Grieve battles are what keeps me playing. The ones that fight fair that is. Hope they patch this parlay glitch. Cheaters never win and to even consider yourself a winner when using those exploits just shows how simple minded those folks are. Anyways good for you @HuDawg  give em hell bud !

And NO "postoffice" to fill up your ammunition etc.

Maybe I’ll see you at ‘The Liquor Shack’ when I get it up and running. I’ll most definitely be running off some batches and getting ready for the grand opening of the foot stompingest, fist fightingest underground hooch den in the west. Come in sober, leave 10 out of 10 drunk. As a courtesy, all guests unable to ride on their own will be hogtied, placed on their horse and the beast will be sent off to your home...

@HuDawg might be happy...

• Ability Card rebalancing on certain cards, and limits on Tonic use to ensure a level playing field for all players

and I recall @Moosh89 asking for this...

• Accessibility improvements for fishing, allowing players to reel in a catch by holding a button rather than circling the analogue stick

maybe they do listen to us?

.  Hoping they release the patch update notes soon to get full details on everything.

If this puts an end to T1000 cowboy mode that would be a good thing.  Haven't jumped on yet to see the actual changes.

I never doubted that they did and that is evident in many of the updates they have made since the beta.  Obviously, there will still be some that will never see the features they would like in the game or be satisfied with some / most / all of what they add or change, but that doesn't mean they are not listening.  I'll wager some features are simply more requested than others or are a focus for other reasons due to popularity, design, balance, vision / goals, etc.

Happy might be pushing it.

I'd settle for "less angry about that one thing"!
