There's even more to come through the year apparently so maybe there's hope RDO will get further attention with the next gen consoles in the way of enhancements, expansions, etc. like they are talking about with GTAO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting you mentioned that. There is an opinion video somewhere on You Tube stating that part of the reason that there are so many problems with Red Dead Online is that it is simply not meant for the current generation of hardware and it won't get better until next gen. Interesting to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to think about. Well, I think any of the issues related to populations of animals, NPCs, etc. and related frame rate drops in towns should be something they could rectify on the new consoles as I'm sure that is directly related to physical limitations of the current systems. Some of these things could even be increased. Remember how they did that with GTAO when they ported it from PS3 to PS4? .....increased NPC/road traffic, upped the graphics and so on? I've often thought what this could mean for games like DayZ that have struggled since release on PS4 with performance. ....although in that case, they have other issues not related to hardware at all that they still wrestle with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to think about. Think its a combo of hardware and current gen player count in public sessions. Because for me, its like this. 4-8 players it runs perfectly. 8-16 A little wonky, but still works most of the time 17+ The game starts to dry up, things bug out. So maybe R* could add 3 free roam game modes based on those numbers. And call them, It Works , It Works Sometimes... and Borked. They could do more things with non free roam updates. Like survival modes, wagon races, canoe races, pvp fist fighting game modes. Just some small updates like that could spice things up. If anything, They need to at least finish off the main RDO story co-op missions. Before moving onto next gen. And if they really.....really want to make fans happy. They need to add private lobbies and free aim lobbies. Edited July 24, 2020 by HuDawg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendetta Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Yep, I agree with you guys. Hopefully R* will add some new weapons to the game soon. I’m quite found of the cap and ball revolvers as guys already know. The Colt 1860 Army would be nice, but I think they would have to nerf the Colt 1851 Navy a bit. I just don’t think they would put a revolver that powerful in game, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylBandit Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Now I feel left out not having my PS4 anymore, oh well maybe if RDR2 comes to the PS5 it will be worth waiting. I'd be able to come back with a bunch of new things and it will feel refreshing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(map every5 lv do not count) Pass is well worth getting if you have the Gold, which hopefully is what they charge for it again this time round - with the last pass it cost 40 gold & you got that back in vouchers if you progressed far enough, making it effectively free stuff!! It also opens up some nice cosmetic items too & getting a free dog [the Husky] as I was considering buying 1 from the store was perfect timing - plus the dog counts for the "pet a dog" daily gold challenge. Rewards are given out almost every level so you keep on getting "things" either clothing or gear for horses or stuff for the moonshine shack or camp - something new all the time - even discount vouchers are nice especially if you have been considering adding a horse or camp item or maybe a weapon change, but not sure you want to spend hard earned Gold or RD$ All in all I would very definitely say, yes, it's worth getting if you have the Gold 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendetta Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hey everybody, I was in a session earlier this morning on the PS4 and animal spawns was scarce. Could have just been that lobby but those who are grinding this weekend for the update, please give yourself extra time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Outlaw Pass worth getting? I think so yes, you get a lot of items you cant otherwise, it always pays for itself so it is free in the end as it pays you back at least the gold you spent to get it. Last time I think it was 30 gold bars? and you got 30 plus bars back as you went through the pass so yeah why not? Also you got some things that you otherwise couldnt get, like small clothing updates and items. I def plan to buy the pass and the role together so as I go through the role the xp also unlocks the pass items, ususally new horses, clothes, somtimes weapon variants, etc.. I am soooo ready for this update lol. Ive beeen doing daily challenges for 7 months straight and lately collecting also, I now have 6 or 7 of each collection complete and I managed to aquire 535 gold bars, 27500 in cash and get to level 366 plus I still have 42 tokens from the last outlaw pass, so yeah, I am ready for this Tuesday, cant wait.

Nope, 12:30 here and nothing yet. Giving it until 2 or 3 A.M., hoping to beat the masses. If not, tomorrow I guess and assuming it will be an absolute crapshow with nothing but maxed servers. 3:00 A.M. now here and still nothing. So much for getting a jump on everyone. Dying to dump the 10 of every collection I've been hoarding since March so I can start picking up collectibles again. And only 16 dailies tonight...4 general instead of the usual 7.

James Hickok_1837 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 It's cool that they finally decided to drop an update after all this time... Im not getting high hopes tho like i did before and after playing for a week i was almost done with the update and totally disappointed. I was hoping for at least 3 new roles and instead we get one and its.....naturalist....cmon. Its the wild west we need bandits, raids, lawmen and they give us naturalist - most def making pictures of animals and picking up "new" (old - from the story mode) flowers. So a bit lame for me. What i really hope for is fixing the honor system - its absolutely usless in its current state yet has so much potential. I would love to see the ability to hunt dishonorable players or beeing hunted. Some Jail time maybe , public hangings, busting a posse member from jail etc. Even factions in the future Lawmen vs Outlaws. New daily challenges - the ones we have are sooo boring. In story mode you can rob NPC's - why isnt there a daily "Get 50 RDO$ by robbing civilians without killing them" - the system is already there in story mode...... New weapons and mods. NEW playgrounds - cmon Guarma is allready there....Could be a nice pvp zone or quest zone. Some kind of pvp pve honor system qould be great so we can compare our achievements in that fields with a ranking system - maybe some mods and clothes that could be unlocked after obtaining a certain amount of those points and so on. Would encourage ppl to pvp more. Well we wil see. Its good that they are giving us something at least and announce further changes - PLEASE R* DONT FCUK IT UP !!! Im also ready for any update with lvl 389 1430 gold bars and 90k RDO$ and hope to play today without download problems ar DC's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Hickok_1837 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Yeah can be boring at some point but when i got back to playing when RDR went on Game Pass and "new blood" arrived i got hooked again in leveling. Also i do my fair share of PVP games thus getting xp. I also make minimum 7 dailys every day so i stacked up my Gold Bars to the roof with that. I didnt spend that much GB's as im not that interested in clothing etc. I still have same 2 sets of clothing as i had when beta launched. Hopefully they will implement cool stuff that i can spend some GB on. BTW - Any info on the update? did it started downloading? How big is it? I left my X box on so it can start download while im at work (first day today after 2 weeks vacation... UGH !!!! The Pain !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming the same amount in Gold Bars to purchase? I've been having a few problems getting the "sedative" to work on animals but that could be because I am a crap shot & am used to hitting from much further away than the tranq dart needs to be effective with a Varmint rifle! Seems they have introduced a bit of a conflict of interest with the animal trader "Gus" & Cripps trading empire IMO but haven't explored that fully yet, so it might not be as difficult as it looked on 1st pass Speaking of pass the rewards do look nice again & a nice spread of newer role stuff too - managed to spend 65 GB in 1 hour after the update on weapons & stuff inc. the 25GB for the role Love, love, love the new layout for challenges & waiting to see what they have added for the collections & collectible locations - wonder how soon it will take the community to "catch up" Had to skim read the "fixes" on the patch - wow so very many - hopefully it will make the game playable & stable for so many who have had massive problems & we see more players return - I hope so Overall, day 1 after a couple hours, it's made my game just that tad more lovely 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendetta Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Purchased 25 Gold Bars in the Sony PlayStation store and I’m ready to buy into the new role after work. It is going to be awhile before I get to this role. I need to finish leveling up the Trader and Bounty Hunter roles, then I still have the Collector and Moonshiners role. My new character is getting established in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NF85 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I take this update as a bug fix, nothing else. Going over the details, nothing of the new stuff is of personal inntrest. one sad note though: Updates have been made to the randomization of Collectibles, including new locations for items dug up using the Pennington Field Shovel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Hickok_1837 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Ok my thoughts on this: I havent tried the new naturalist role y-day bcoz i focused on other aspects of the game that i expected to be changed/improoved and because im not that fond of that new role - i was hoping for something else - Lawman, Horse breader, and improvements to moonshiner role. I will get in to it today i hope - im really not fond of it and im sure ill be killing the animals instead of making pictures and samples etc. At this point im dissapointed. The huge list of bug improvements apply mostly to PC platform. The most annoying bugs for me (changing weapons when entering pvp modes or co op missions) is still here. Absolutely no changes to honor system - still usless Still cant rob NPC's , trains etc. Daily challenges - cmon its a joke - a couple of new ones and the division into groups. Moonshiner bar still usless No new zone (i was hoping for Guarma) No new pvp modes No new Land of opportunity missions Open world events are still scarce. Sometimes i run across all the locations and switch server to find absolutely no events at all. And to summerize it all took that much time.....fail R*. Im sorry i cant help myslef but this "MASSIVE UPDATE" is CRAP for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
