Good hunter, free us from this waking nightmare

The hunting wagon can carry five large fish. Pulled a bunch of muskies out of Owanjilla, $40 in Strawberry. Being able to dismiss the wagon and have its cargo remain persistent is such a nice thing.

Why the flying heckfire is bounty hunter so goddamn buggy? Three bounties in a row I got no exp.

Also my daily progress reset. Back to .2 gold for me.

Bounty hunter worked fine for the first few days, now it's how you see it. poo poo's really drat annoying. I've had bounties not activate, targets vanish off my horse as I'm riding into town, and a BOUNTY OVER, YOUR POSSE ABANDONED THE JOB despite not even being in a posse.

They really need to do something with Manhunt because there's too many players and you can and will do the work of clearing the enemies around a target only for some dipshit to charge in and grab them and there's jack poo poo you can do about it. It's extremely easy to get no targets and thus no rewards whatsoever. There is no actual incentive to cooperate in what has the trappings of a co-op event.

It's such a waste of time. Collector's? A shitload of things to find, when you're done you get a ton of exp and money. Trader's? Lots of goods, when you're done you get a ton of exp and money.

Bounty Hunter? Small amount of targets, tons of hunters and exp is person by person. I got 1 bounty turned in and got 57 exp for my trouble and like two dollars. Whoopty poo poo. A colossal waste of time.

I find it amusing that you can murder defensless people in cold blood and strip any valuables of their mangled corpses but a short trip to town to say howdy to anyone you pass will redeem any honour you may have lost on your murderous rampage.

Been doing an experiment with bounties tonight:

Loaded into free roam from the online menu
Camp not pitched (unsure if this matters but I'm trying to rule out variables)
Did a mission for Bonnie
Went to Armadillo, took a $ bounty
Went to Tumbleweed, took a mission for the sheriff, then a $$ bounty.
Went back to Tumbleweed for another job, then a $$$ bounty.

All three bounties worked, whereas previously today I tried 12 bounties and had 4 work.

Maybe there's some sort of cooldown mechanic in there causing problems, and doing story missions kicks it into gear?

Rockstar are slow on the hotfixes (unless their economy is getting rolled) so it's just a dumb day one session bug they haven't fixed yet. If the screen fades to black when you start a bounty, it switched sessions and you won't get any reward. Hit free roam in the online menu and it'll load you into another one where you can try again, I've rarely had to try more than one reload to get it working again.

Cripps sells em in the camp store, if memory serves. $350 each and I think PS4 players have early access to more breeds from what I read in the patch notes.

Eh, you still have to ride around and find the stuff. I've nearly rode off cliffs following it. It's a lot like fishing, just another chill thing to do out in the world. With the Trader meat wagon you can make big bucks with fishing. I can see them nerfing the exp for the initial dig, though.

I don't know if the pissbaby ratio is drastically different between regions (I'm Euro) but I see so little deliberate griefing post-patch that half the time I don't even remember to switch modes any more.

Having actual tasks beyond red dot genocide has done wonders for distracting the sadbrains. I expect it'll be back to pre-patch levels once they burn up the new content though.

I have no reason to expect this to happen based on how gtao turned out but I hope they add a private lobby mode where you can just do the frontier pursuits (or whatever else they add later) on your own or with just friends. The game comes so close to scratching a chill “hunt, fish, and make number go up” itch but putting you in the same lobby with murderers with no real “hey I dont want to be murdered by anyone” button kind of kills it for me

I know there’s parley but you have to be murdered first, and it only works on a murderer-by-murderer basis
