I keep getting disconnected when I try to play multiplayer :smith: Also, how do I go passive ? I've played enough RDO1, GTA4-5 to know that being an in open PvP world is the worst thing ever. Even with old rear end guns that shoot 1 bullet and take 4 minutes to reload.

I got hogtied while afk and shot because the stupid QUICK fire doesn't really shoot QUICK enough apparently.

To go passive, you have to be murdered four times in a row by the same person; you’ll then have the option to not be murdered by that person for a 10 minute period

I read that crouching removes your dot from the map. Theres a parley system where if someone kills you 3 times you can go passive against that person for 10 mins so its very likely it will never be added. Tbh i really doubt private sessions will be coming.

I want to believe that at least passive mode will be in eventually; it was in gtao and rockstar must know that it’s something a lot of people want, so I’m hoping they’re just working on it as a low priority after the beta or something.

Private servers would be great too but who knows

Your killer track.




The challenge of not being able to complete free roam missions or go hunting because randos keep killing you is probably baked into the economy. If you could do all of these things unbothered it would be too easy to make money. No passive mode, no private servers. Get good or buy shark bars!

Except that a player murdering you doesn't cause you to lose your pelts. So you really just gotta watch out for cougars, bears, and the occasional small army of O'Driscolls when hunting or fishing.

I feel like we all got a different version of the game lol. I mean im not doubting anyone but we are all in different camps regarding bugs it seems like. Like you either have the nag horse bug or you dont. My camp zooms all over the place other people never mention it. I definetly lose pelts dying, i seem to lose anything i havent cooked yet.

I haven't had many issues on og PS4 besides getting kicked sometimes. I made a posse for me and a buddy last night and I've had to reinvite a couple of times. Today he's not on my roster either. But that's about it. I'm playing solo mostly for now and spamming stranger missions and story missions and just saving my money. Not buying cosmetics. Killing for food. Using money just for gun oil to keep the starter weapons in good condition and getting headshots in missions to save ammo. Soloing gang hideouts when I need something new to do. As a player I just like seeing my rank go up and roaming.

I wish the character had a voice, or at least that you’d say “pardner” when emoting in the world

Or at least that they hadn’t written so many “heh, don’t talk much, do ya?” lines for npcs. Rub it in why don’t you

I just mentioned in the discord that I think emotes were a mistake and they should have just gone with the same greet/antagonize thing from single player. The emotes are mostly dumb and NPCs don't seem to react to them.

I SAID GOOD DAY SIR
I made an earnest attempt to try online today, but I can't keep playing it if most of the playerbase just spends all day shooting players ad nauseum. There's a ton of other poo poo to do, it cannot possibly be that entertaining to deathmatch random players for hours using the starting repeater. I mean if that's what entertains you fine, I guess. But until there's some way I know I can hop on and grind out some levels and unlock poo poo and do missions without it being a constant irritation, I don't see the point. I'll wait for a passive mode or just not play online.

Though I did manage to make a character that's not a complete mutant:



At least from most angles, anyway. She's got a really, really weak chin and she looks like a circus freak from the wrong angle.

I imagine they’re just there for other players.

Arthur’s surprisingly deep dialogue trees were really satisfying and I miss them, moving to online. Just give every player Arthur’s voice imo (the women can have Sadie if there’s enough recorded lines, otherwise make them Arthur too)

Chins weren't available for women until the early 1920s so it's at least historically accurate.

if you see a pink circle running toward you on the map you have every advantage in the world really.

you can literally see the gank coming from across the map. They are not running toward you to give you a high five or sell you cookies, so post up by a tree or some cover and shoot them while they are on their predictable horse with your auto aim. be the hammer instead of the nail it's fun.

I got ganked while I was loading in after a cutscene with a friend. They loaded first, I have a black screen with the loading indicator, he tells me someone walked up to my character and shot them, and I load in on my corpse and the killed by screen.

Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
Found a train near someone's camp while online, it was at the end of the line so I decided to steal it and see if I could derail or wreck it maybe.

When user Gay Horney tells you that it is more fun being the hammer than the nail you know you can take that poo poo to the bank.

The only way I managed to fix this was by getting rid of both my horses, getting new ones, and making sure the horse in the top stable spot is the active one.

Montmartre -> Portland
a few RDO questions that people may or may not have answers for:

1) are bows going to be the way to get perfect pelts rather than trying to use specific weapons? seems like this makes more sense given that deadeye doesn't actually slow time in RDO

2) have rockstar talked at all about their plans for utilizing the honor system? I'm honestly hoping they use it to discourage random griefing in towns, it seems like the perfect mechanism to warn you if someone is a bad hombre that is riding up to you and maybe put a bounty on their head if their honor is bad enough.

3) how often does this drat game charge you $.75 stable fees? I swear I've had that message pop up several times in a single play session

4) Is there a reason Deadeye doesn't behave the same way as health and stamina? it was annoying not having the core refill the stat in story mode but even more annoying when deadeye consumables cost several dollars each. I'm honestly not sure how they expect us to use the ability when you have to drink some liquor every time you use deadeye for a couple of shots
