:Online: Red Dead Redemption 2

Jordan 199

I was happy playing earlier and doing well, but the frequent disconnections have put me off playing it for a while to be honest. Worst thing of all is when you're on a mission and get disconnected.

I'll probably return to it sometime later this month or next month.

My character from Red Dead online.

Very accurate.

I'm ok with grinding and all, but the game is really taking the p*ss. I hunted and killed a large Elk tonight. In the Single Player I would have gotten at least 4 Venison Beefs from it, but I only got 1 which is sad after going to all that work to hunt it. Money is an issue as well. As most of you have already talked about. It's been less of a week now since Red Dead online began so hopefully they will fix it so that it's more comparable to the Single Player at least.

You are aware that it's intentional that they did that change right? it's exactly how they roll in GTA V etc. as well so expect it to remain or be tightened further.

On for a small bit today to try move the story along but found the griefers out numbered the sound lads. Could barely get to a mission icon without getting shot at and my horse getting killed. Checking the menu to play a series instead, I heard grunting so went back to the game to find my character had been hogtied. Bating the escape button, he cuts the rope, let's me up and runs around me in circles. Needless to say I emptied a clip into him and his corpse. He then proceeded to annoy the **** out of me so I rest to PS4 main menu (faster than actually leaving RDR online.

Went back in and played some races, had some laugh. Really thought I wouldn't bother with the racing but they really made it fun.

This game badly needs a solo session mode but it's a beta so I get they would only want only MP to stress the servers. Creating a new character tonight, my guy is reminding me of a young Blue from the film Old School so I can't take him serious anymore.

Yeah I know what they're trying to do. But at least they made up for it in GTA online by giving us some cool updates like the Heist DLC and all. So there was more ways to grind for money and get bigger payoffs.

Anyway, I managed to get my hands on a bow and arrow last night so I can start hunting properly now. I prefer hunting with bow and arrow or a rifle, as opposed to my carbine rifle which I've been using since I started online.

Is it more reliable now or does it still disconnect a lot?

Mind you, Shopto was selling what I believe is pre-order content as it includes DLC. I don't think they're supposed to though...

It's an open beta

A lot more reliable for me, i could hardly play without the game crashing every ten minutes but yesterday and today I've had a couple of random disconnects.

ok that makes sense. Stilll, I don't think shopto sent me the right version...

If Shopto ordered a load of copies then they might have got pre-orders. There isn't any restrictions on who can sell games though.

Played today, spawned in, whistled for my horse but nowhere to be found, so i got a scrawny nag, went to the stables to get my horse, went and done a mission, after spawning in afterwards, no horse again, had to go back to the stables again!! Really annoying that you have to keep doing that!!

Zero-Cool

Anytime I've spawned in, my horse has been in whistling distance, haven't had to collect from a stable yet.

You have to set your horse to default for it come. Press left direction button on your controller, click on stable option then choose the horse you own and set it as default. It should come when you whistle for it after that.

Same thing happened to me as well, then I did the above mentioned and it comes now.

I don't believe I said there were any restrictions... just that selling pre-order content post launch is interesting.

Oh I thought that's what you implied by say "I don't think they're supposed to though..."

I reckon it would be like you or me ordering a load of copies to sell.

Just looking at that site. Was RD expensive when you bought it they seem very expensive for other stuff SSD's/HDD's, chairs etc.

No, I meant I don't think they're supposed to sell pre-order content post launch lol. Depends what you mean by expensive really. I got it on ebay for almost £50. I personally would consider that a great price considering how amazing and packed the game is.

As I said there is no restrictions on who can sell games.

cdkeys is pretty good for games also.

Deliberately? It was a fairly ambiguous statement.

I think it was rather obvious given that I said I got pre-order content post launch before saying I don't think they're supposed to do that... I then clarified in about 3 posts that it was an issue of when i.e. selling pre-rder content after launch and not 'who' was selling it. After the third time you were still talking about 'who' before I literally had to spell out that it's not about who but when. You've now said there's no restrictions on when it can be sold so that's it then. If you genuinely thought I was questioning who can sell it but you say the statement was ambiguous best thing would have been to ask rather than making an assumption...

pot, kettle, black!

You're assuming I deliberately misinterpreted when its not the case at all. I was talking about who as in 3rd party. In relation to whatever is irking you I never said when, you did. If you're going to be that pedantic at least get it right! Arrogance won't get you anywhere.

Rockstar have an update, currently working on in-game economy and game crashes.

Red Dead Online Beta Status update:
Thanks to everyone who has participated in the Beta so far, we appreciate your help in testing the game!

I'm constantly losing my hat, I get angry when I realise it and smack the snot out of someone and take theirs.

That's a massive relief! Especially like how they mentioned appropriately rewarding and fun in the same sentence. End of the week/next week, sweet. Will probably play it so.

Anyone on for some races, shooting, shenanigans, etc? Ps4

Varik

Random fire fights I'm fine with but lads in races are afk and spinning, issue for people actually playing is that most races have a generous time limit so everyone who actually played is sitting there watching these ass holes spin until the game ends.

Hey zerks!

Couldn't resist

I see a reddit thread where the OP says the RDR2 online economy is so bad he's going to hire someone in a third world country to do the grind for him.
Do you really need a beta to know this?

Getting disconnected while on missions is a right pain.

Might be of use to someone this is how I am making money online ATM

Hit valentine, there are plenty of pens with live stock (pigs & sheep) in them rope them up and then melee kill them skin them and bring the carcass to the butcher sell the whole lot with meet, skin and carcass for like $5 then rinse and repeat, also you can do this 2 at a time carry one carcass and put one on your horse. you get money way quicker this way than any mission I have done

Being new to PS4, could anyone tell me if I need a paid subscription to play red dead online?

Yes. You can get a free trial at the beginning, but you need a PSN subscription to play online.

^ If you are new to PS4 the psn sub could be decent investment in terms of the monthly games you get.
