Re: Red Dead Redemption 2
I don't think RDRO is that poor right now. The disparity between the payouts of some missions and the prices of guns is an issue that definitely needs to change. I also think the level requirement on some things is a bit ridiculous, but overall the servers have smoothed out significantly since initial launch.
I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt with the Beta tag at the moment. If they keep it on there and it remains in this state for an extended period of time then I will stop giving that benefit to them. If they rollout the full thing and we get a lot more content, but the payouts and pricing don't change I will definitely be very disappointed, but I believe right now that the Beta tag should alter people's views and expectations for now. We should at least give it a bit of time and see what progress is going to be made and if this truly was a Beta testing phase for some things.
I'm assuming the prices/payouts are going to be adjusted a bit. I think they are at the ridiculous levels they are for a couple of reasons. 1) When R* lowers them to the levels they really wanted them at people are going to sing them praise even though they will still be high and need some grind like GTAO, and 2) I go back to them not wanting a lot of people accessing a lot of the guns and items in the Beta so they made it harder to get those items while things are tested. I don't think they'll do a wipe if #2 is correct like had been a possibility.
If they do do a wipe, though, I know with the way my playstyle has been my new character in the wipe will be Native American. All I do is run around with my knife, lasso, and bow and arrow. I hunt, I fish, and if anyone shoots at me first my buddy and I make sure they realize how much they messed up. Some of these animations with knives are brutal from what we've found out getting back at people. Also, I have to say that the Bolt Action Rifle = my favorite gun right now. Amazing accuracy and great range with my scope attachment added to it. It isn't fair using it against people who start things with us and have the base guns you get. They don't have the range nor power of the bolt action to compete as well so when they are trying to get in close just to be able to shoot either me or my buddy I can pick them off with my rifle while my buddy charges in with a knife or shotgun. Fun times.
