Did some runnin' about for dailies, and actually went and did one of the sheriff missions of the main RDO storyline. Me (at level 230+, I forget), a level 7, another dude that was not more than levle 10. And a dude with all-gold guns at level 313. :V (It was the one closest to Valentine, and I wanted to let the thieves get killed, but got outvoted.  Oh well)Last night also seemed to be 100% massive storm across the entire world - HORF was constantly whining just because of the enormous lightning bolts grounding thirty feet away, grow a pair.. oh wait, she's a mare. Never mind. Rockstar's wonderful programming will take care of that sooner or later, anyway. Storm did make it awful sporty during multiple wolf attacks, though. Also during the hard run to catch a supply wagon, and two dumbshit NPCs deciding to drive their horses right into my path. Because I have Chungus Grande the max-bonded top-tier Bounty Hunter ride, one dude and his horse died on impact, the other got snippy and got one shot off, and neither HORF nor I took even 20% off our health.

Alhazred posted:It doesn't really make sense to hunt in the endgame though. There is no camp to pimp out or give supplies to. And why would you wait to the end of game to hunt pelts you can make outfit out when you're nearly finished with the game? Yeah by the time I got to epilogue I was definitely not in the mood for more hunting. I got that out of my system by chapter 4.

Goddamn the RDO story campaign is so loving impossible to finish. Takes forever to matchmake, and even worse, you have to wait around forever before the next mission unlocks. Here's my cool lady:  Here's an old pic of Arthur I never posted:  A little cinematic gore:  And a fun little Epilogue spoiler:

The epilogue is drat heartbreaking. Marston gradually stops being an outlaw and starts being a farmer. He reignites his relationship with Abigail. He even tries to be a good father for Jack. And all the while you're playing the epilogue you know that he will ultimately fail and be gunned down.

Although true to the American story he's a lovely farmer who coasts on stolen land and generous credit.

I follow some agrarian scientists on twitter and occasionally they post historical studies of how crop yields fell when native farmers were chased out or killed and white settlers moved in. In New England maize yields fell 50% after Europeans took over the land.

One of the primary drivers for westward expansion was that the first settlers of any given american territory were inevitable absolutrly terrible at even the basics of farming. They would move into Kentucky for example grow until all the nutrients in the soil were depleted then move onto Missouri. The second wave would be the ones who would understand things like "Let your fields lie fallow once every three years" and actually stick around.

Welp, did the second sheriff mainquest mission last night (by Macfarlane Ranch). Me, @ 235 or so, and three single-digit-level folks - a couple of who were either very experienced players with a new char, or ridiculously good. Gonna go do the last one out Tumbleweed way tonight - wasn't doing this stuff at first while I learned the Online ways, then I wasn't really feeling it because of some of the "gently caress you" difficulty Moonshiner missions, and I figured they'd be that nasty. ("Oh hey, you're soloing this? Let's send 15 or so fully-jacked revenooers after you. You got through that? OK, reinforcement phase!")

Welp, the Tumbleweed sheriff RDO mainquest mission wasn't that bad... except apparently the wagon requires different players to be on it to progress. Got by OK at the start with one guy, but then it halted, until I ended up getting on him. Continued, but even with him still on, whenever I got off it stopped. before I even got my minimum daily in, had a modmenu shitbird decide to try to aggro me into hostility. That failed, so "Hunter" of "Hunter's Posse" went invulnerable/teleporting, killed me a couple times, then I guess they got bored and went directly to ragdoll-launching me into the sky. Swapped servers and that ended that. Pronghorns in the bus on the east side of Armadillo. Deadeye, target, they flush at the first shot... and one ran vertically about 30 feet up, like a rocket. Wasn't one I'd tagged, unfortunately. Dear AI pathfinding - if I'm in a wagon, don't try to send me over the busted-rear end narrow footbridge at Stillwater Creek.

I was in a swamp near St. Denis trying to collect a wildflower when an explosion blew me off my horse. I didn't see anyone around so I revived my dying horse and tried to make a run for it. There was another explosion and then I was in the western desert on a mountain top with two other players, and then I was dead, supposedly killed by a bow headshot from the one closest to me who did not even have a weapon out. I logged off.

Welcome to modmenu! Other features include: being set on fire, having dead bodies (human or animal) rain down around you, having live animals (mainly cougars) spawn on you, having fire tornados spawn on you, being ragdolled along the ground or into the sky, having logs added to your character's appearance, having your horse or yourself being frozen into place, being attacked by invulnerable/teleporting/invisible players, finding random treasure chests full of loot (note: if it's not part of a treasure map, avoid - R* has been known to ban for looting these even if you didn't spawn it), and gently caress only knows what else. If it's repeating through repawns or otherwise making play unplayable, you can always try reconnecting, and see if you get a different server. (Check the playwerlist to see if the names change, this will verify you've gone elsewhere.)

Same problem at GTA Online. They couldn’t be bothered to fix the most basic vulnerabilities and this time they don’t have the excuse of “We didn’t build it from the ground up with online in mind.”

Judging by how much GTA5 still sells, I doubt they'll ever fix it because they can just keep banning the cheaters who'll just turn around and buy the game again.

Fifteen minutes of hunting and herbing later, as I was crouching on a cliff waiting for the cougar spawn I posted previously, and BAM Caracano'd. Happened a few more times when I respawned, and while I was checking to verify that yes, Defensive was on. Modmenu fuckery? Probably. "Nothing valuable about fishing in online" - just gold from dailies, cash from selling 'em, making food, fiddling the Honor scale... oh, and just plain enjoyment of the game. Actual creative fuckery - do the critter baits actually function in online? I know down Macfarlane way, I've had camps spawned right next to wolf spawns, and it'd be amusing to seed someone else's camp with a full load of both predator baits while they're cooking/in map/AFK.

The only griefers I've encountered in the last 2-3 months were modders. Explosions/fires/teleports. Defensive mode and fighting back are a waste of time in the face of that.

D-mode never seems to stop people messing with me. I never leave it because I'm a carebear who only plays to make number go up. As much as I bitch and moan about PVP in this game people in general are less aggro than you would expect. I was driving my wagon up to a bridge, someone else was on it and they just moved out of the way to let me pass.

I get you. I've recommended the build before to people who are serious about not wearing a hat. Or trot out "What if it gets shot off...? WHAT THEN?!" in all seriousness. You go loving find it and put it back on or just deal for a minute? It got shot off because it blocked a headshot, you dunce. Hats are free to re-equip from your horse instantly. If your fight is lasting this long, you already hosed up. Zesty fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Jul 15, 2020 |
