:Online: Red Dead Redemption 2

Try 500-600 for the brightness on the manual setting and then maybe 90-100 on the paper white.

I think that makes the peak brightness a tinny bit higher but lag is more than just for competitive games, games feel off if there's too much of a delay.

Managed to get to level 25 in 2 moderate play sessions, and then finished wave 10 a few times in the new call to arms horde mode.

Some bad glitches for the call to arms mode, enemies not spawning and then suddenly spawning behind you or when trying to restart a mission it just kicks you out. I played a game yesterday where it kick the team out but then in the normal open world the mission started.

BTW, does anyone know the quickest way to make good money going solo?

Was great to go back out on a wagon again. As for the game, I am really enjoying it now. Waved to a few players I met while out on my travels.

Been playing this for the past few days. Got my bounty hunter license so I'm catching bold folk and bringing them to the Sheriff's Office or the prison wagon.

Took part in a few free roam events too, both involved fishing. Very relaxing.

I went out for a trip in the wagon above yesterday. Started from Rhodes and proceeded onto Armadillo and then Tumble Weed. It was cold and windy on my trip so I had to go into the back of the wagon to take some shelter.

I had a camp setup east of of Armadillo so I stopped for some food and rest before getting back on the wagon.

As my wagon rolled into Armadillo, I was met with a -12 degree C temperature, ice cold winds and snow. Took a bit of a stroll of a around a once busy but now a sad town.

My wagon rolled into Tumbleweed, last stop on my trip where I was met with a slightly warmer temp of -11 C temperature.

Usually you would see other players in those towns, but I was the only around.

The only thing I'm doing is going for the higher paying bounties. When I'm not doing that, I'm just strolling around the towns in the game.

I will take some time away soon and return to the game in the spring.

While I was stopping in the town of Blackwater, I waved to another player who decided to lasso me and drag me while they were on their horse. I managed to untie myself and quickly killed that individual. Most people in the game are going about their business and causing no trouble, but if someone is threatening me, I will fight back and kill.

I was playing a good bit over the holidays, and there was a more scummy element playing. I was attacked with a hatchet and a machete for no reason at all. As a result of that, I'm more cautious of other players now.

Crazy to see that being nice to another player can result in getting hacked to death.

Yupp, no one buying gold bars compared to the money they're making off shark cards, RDR Online being literally left out to pasture.

It has some great mechanics of they put some effort into it. Some of its systems are way better than GTA Online like but the Roles' (like businesses in gta) are just really low effort and not what people want.

Three new mini 'heist' missions were a dud. I only played the train heist but that was enough to not want to play it again. In comparison to GTA, the businesses in that are actually fun i find, the only thing that puts me off is having to do the majority in a public lobby so as well as the ai to contend with, you have a dope on a flying missile launcher ready to blow up your whole staah making you have to start the business supply all over. If they had it looks RDR, it would be rare to find across someone else, nevermind have them wreck your current activity. But the roles are just boring. Moonshiner should be fun but i end up losing product of i go over a pebble on the road and sell missions have me going up mountains, more frustrating than fun. Bounty Hunter is closest to a fun activity but if that gets boring after a while.

RDR needs fun activities (let us buy a homestead at least!) And GTA needs to deal with others wrecking your fun activities. They are the biggest issues with both games for me.

BTW, if anyone wants to go out on a wagon like the one above with me, let me know 🙂

A player went on a killing spree in Valentine. He was still hanging around there, and I thought I would be his next victim! Made me nervous.

You are obsessed with wagons in RDR2. Is there something special about them ? Can you put all your stuff in them and travel round the world or ???

Ok, so it's RDR2 Online only. In single player campaign you can only really steal and sell wagons, but not own them or use them.

Missed opportunity.

Where you headed pardner? 😁

Very good. Love me a covered wagon.

Problem is those playing since day 1 have a mass of gold and there isn't any drive to spend it on anything other than the odd update.

They changed how much gold you can earn now, but that doesn't effect those who've already got a load. They've added the ability to buy outright the old season pass content individually at high prices.

Currently you get the gold you spent on a season pass back if you complete it but they're not hard. The last season pass was Halloween and long ended without any new one since, if they do it'll probably not have the gold back as the old ones did.

There's no money to be made as everyone already has enough for whatever they release and if they charge too much then new players can't do it.

Except for at the very start where I spent the free gold they gave on the second holster to get it earlier than I normally would have I've not spent any gold on anything other than passes which gave it all back and the businesses. I've got just under 200 gold on me and apparently spent 301 bars, so at the cheapest real money price that's €142.

I only ever played for about a week after each update came out when the game was actually updated and then not for too long during that week as it was pretty easy to level up through the passes and you'd have max levelled the new professions pretty quickly without trying.

There wasn't enough to buy ever and it was far to easy to earn gold and complete the passes, not really sure what they can do to sort it all. They need to get new players as the older ones arn't going to make them any money.

All I can think is Mexico and a RDR1 remake tied into RDO, or it just dies off slowly.

For Varik and any other players who play this, what would you like to see added to Red Dead Online?

It would be nice to go to Mexico again, I prefer the scenery down south and I would spend more time down there if it expanded there.

It would be cool if you could buy other types of wagons too.

It's a shame how R* are treating this game as there is much more potential.

It would be good if Rockstar came out with a statement about the future of RDR Online.

Been a disaster, they had the makings of a great online game but made boring roles with absolute shyte rewards. Mix that with regular clothes and guns being really expensive for new/casual players.

They should introduce homesteads where you can buy land and big houses. Have shacks for new/poor players. Have your own factory on site for moonshine, trapper business, etc and other players can come to you to buy or you can deliver to npc's. Strictly no PvP in the homestead zone to make a note friendly trading area.

I was whistling and playing the washboard alongside the band in my moonshine shack 😁
