crossposting from the LLJK crew thread:coupedeville posted:So here is an official post from me as a new Commissioner of the crew. I have taken the executive action of clearing 6 players from the LLJK ranks. I tried to look at all possible sources of information to confirm (to the best of my abilities) that they are inactive. Here are the players who have been kicked.

Hakarne posted:Honestly I wouldn't worry about ending up dishonorable - it seems like you have to actually try to not be max honorable. Just feeding, brushing, and petting your horse is enough keep it positive. When I'm doing collecting I usually play a bandit and kill/rob every NPC I meet on the trail and murder every witness that comes along. Even doing that, like 3/4 positive honor is the lowest I ever got. Yeah you can more or less go on a mass murder spree and then pet your horse or save one stranger to be back at max honor

pmchem posted:What's the cheapest way to refill your dead eye ring (not core) in RDR Online? It seems like my dead eye is perpetually empty whenever I log in. I am new and only really know of chewing tobacco to refill it, which seems like it should not be the cheapest option for regular use. Theres a perk that raises your Dead Eye slowly over time. It is incredible.

pmchem posted:Neat, what's it called / when can you get it? On one star difficulty you get two lives. That goes down on subesequent runs, eventually you'll need to do them without dying. If you run out of lives you can try again. Edit: thats for legndaries. In regular bounties you can die over and over, no biggie. Sleekly fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Dec 2, 2019 |

Just had a match where I was stabbing a player over and over again and they took no damage. I don't know why I continue to bother with the competitive mode for RDO on PC. It's completely broken due to cheating. And of course with no way in-game to report this, these players can just go on with cheating with complete immunity.

It turns out benches are the only seats you can’t sit on in the game (?!) and so instead Arthur grabbed the other guy sitting there and slammed him into the ground. I got shot to death by the law, went into a saloon to eat and recover, walked out and tried to kneel, but oops, that’s that Y button again so I choked someone AGAIN. I just wanted to read my pamphlet in peace!

Just go into the player menu, then player list, find the player in question and click on their name. One of the options will be 'Report Player', and one of the reasons is cheating. Also, after checking to find further confirmation that you can end up being banned for reporting a cheater, seems like the reddit post in question has been updated to reflect that he got banned for naming-and-shaming said cheater on his Twitch, which is apparently an EULA violation.

Also - the fact that bonuty payout is based on how long it takes to complete - meaning the longer you take - the more you get paid - is the most broken and most idiotic mechanic I have ever encountered in a game.

I'm sure this has been asked a million times before but I didn't see it mentioned recently. I just started chapter 4 and wanted to know if there was any side content that was permanently missable, just so I can drill that out before I go any further.

I know, Reddit, but this is what I'm going by: https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/comments/9u7bku/spolierfree_mission_list_including_missable/ TL;DR there is some missable content, but it's nothing of real consequence: 1 stranger mission, 1 Mary mission, and some camp side activities. Also it will start being pretty clear when you're about to finish Chapter 4 (I'm not there yet and I've been wondering "is this the last mission" for 2 missions now), so you'll have a fair bit of time to complete whatever you have left if you wish.

Possibly an odd question, but a similar discussion in the Assassin's Creed Odyssey thread led me to some great reading, so I figured I'd try: Are there any particularly solid (nonfiction) historical novels about this particular time/subject? I guess it'd be considered "the death of the wild west" or something along those lines. Whatever that may mean. For example, the ACO thread led me to The Peloponnesian War, by Donald Kagan, which was a fantastic (albeit kinda dry) history/retelling of the conflict that hangs over ACO. Obviously it's different with RDR2, because RDR2 involves fictional characters in a fictional setting—but I'd love to learn more about this transitional period between buck wild bullshit and actual civilization in the western United States.

TorakFade posted:I know, Reddit, but this is what I'm going by: https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/comments/9u7bku/spolierfree_mission_list_including_missable/ The Mary Linton mission should be hard to miss assuming you return to camp every so often, at some point when you return to camp there will be a flashing icon for another letter lying near your bed. It's a few missions into Chapter 4 but definitely not towards any noticeable endgame, and at that point in the chapter it's not out of your way at all to have to go "find".

Basic Chunnel posted:In terms of historical novels about professional highwaymen, that would be Blood Meridian, toward which RDR2 winks a few times. I saw someone reading that on the train recently and I wonder if red dead 2 has renewed interest in it (that’s why I was reading it anyway) It’s not nonfiction (though it’s based on some real people) and it takes place in a different time period, but you should read it anyway because it’s a very good book

I know you're asking for something to read, but one of my favourite films touches on the same themes (and dress sense) of this; The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford; both are meloncholic stories about questionable, deluded leaders and those that follow them. Both are also beautiful to look at. Basic Chunnel posted:In terms of historical novels about professional highwaymen / banditry, that would be Blood Meridian, toward which RDR2 winks a few times.

If you see a two star animal or a two star corpse, kill or skin it and it may produce a perfect pelt. Is this definitely the case? I was under the impression that the trinket just removed the head/heart shot requirement for a perfect kill. As long as your target dies in one hit to the appropriate weapon it'll always be a perfect pelt, whereas without the trinket you have to one-shot the heart or head.

The trinket has a random chance to upgrade the quality of the item you get from a carcass. So if you messed up killing a 3-star animal and turned it into a 2-star corpse, there would still be a chance to harvest a perfect pelt anyway. Same if the animal started at 2-stars and you killed it correctly.
