What do you want from Red Dead Online?

ASleepingMonkey · Nov 18, 2018

With RDO scheduled to hit at the end of November, I imagine we'll see some trailer this coming week and have it released next week.

What do you want from the mode following your experience with the single player world and mechanics and GTA Online?

Personally, I'm crossing my finger for some heists again. Doesn't have to be beat for beat like GTA V's but I want to rob banks. Would also love to see the ability to start a ranch ala the GTA Online businesses.

I saw some things floating around saying that RDO will be more role play focused but I'm also not sure how true that is as I have yet to see a source for where that info came from.

A release date.

JigglesBunny · Nov 18, 2018

No cores or bars to manage and reduced focus on microtransactions.

Basically, I can go fuck myself.

TheInfinityGauntlet · Nov 18, 2018

Fun without having to pay

Vic Damone Jr. · Nov 18, 2018

Good content that isn't revolving around a ridiculous grind.

Yerffej · Nov 18, 2018

I want a ton of stranger missions peppered in.

ElMexiMerican · Nov 18, 2018

I want matchmaking for game modes to be a little easier, and I hope we can get a slighty better UI compared to GTAO

Diarrhea Day-Lewis · Nov 18, 2018

Is it end of month? I guess it has to be now

Genesius · Nov 18, 2018

I just want it to stay relatively grounded. No unicorns or magic carpets or whatever else. Keep all that stuff in GTA.

That said, heists would be fun. Blowing train tracks, robbing banks. Plenty of stuff to do if you can't posse up. Severe penalties for just being someone who runs around murdering and griefing other players.

RockmanBN · Nov 18, 2018

Nothing like GTA V's.

adj_noun · Nov 18, 2018

Work on day one

I also want a pony

...I might get the pony

Blayde · Nov 18, 2018

I want the same kind of feel that the singleplayer has where you can have your daily routine in the camp and do some things there and then go out and do whatever out in the world and come back. Just with friends instead of NPC gang members.

BoxManLocke · Nov 18, 2018

Reduced loading times

Homestead buildling

Gangs with friends complete with camp management

Heists

texhnolyze · Nov 18, 2018

Actually functional match-making system. Did they ever fix GTAV's, anyway?

Ausroachman · Nov 18, 2018

What i want - a way to play mostly solo and not be a grind fest

What i will get - loot boxes and fortnight dance emotes

bounchfx · Nov 18, 2018

heists would be amazing
but even if it's just 2-16 people (or more?) on one world map all playing together I would be perfectly fine with that too.
then of course the obvious deathmatch, tdm. modes, +CTF and KOTH would be cool too

i was looking at the achievements this morning and there's like 20 for red dead online already there. I don't recall people talking about those. but it mentioned Posse's and stuff, which sounds dope.

I can get behind not having the cores, that seems plausible.

It's been confirmed to have 32 (or 30, one of the two)

GTAO has none of that, though.

I agree about the solo stuff though. It'd be cool if they allowed you to make money just from fishing, hunting and such. Honest living.

What's good is that griefing should be less of a problem for solo players simply because of the size of the map and the time it takes to travel.

There are trophies that suggest hunting is in online, which is great since there are no animals in GTA V's Online.

VaporSnake · Nov 18, 2018

I hope the NPC's in the world aren't drastically cut down to save memory.

GTA online felt like a ghost town in comparison to SP, no animals either.

hell yes. I'm so hyped for that. the idea of running around in the same wild west world with people is awesome. I hope we can buy/upgrade houses or our own gang camps and shit. Ahh, it just sounds awesome if there's a semi persistent world for you and your clan/friends.

Falchion · Nov 18, 2018

I want lots of big heists that aren't blocked by huge cash requirements.

Cool, I hadn't paid attention to the trophies.

Basically allowing people to be what they want while still progressing and making money. There's much bigger potential for that in RDR than GTA.

The ability to fuck off and go hunting without some douche in a gatling gun mowing me down for no reason.

I have also seen trophies or something for camps!

Nintendo · Nov 18, 2018

I hope it's similar to GTA Online with owning properties that give special abilities and missions and focus on roleplay.

I want to own a farm/ranch/saloon/stable..etc, customize it and upgrade it. They should flesh out the interior customization options this time. It was fine in GTAO but I want more options.
Again just like GTAO, each property should provide special abilities, unique missions, and interactions.
Let me capture/buy livestock animals, bring them to my ranch and breed them there.
Port over the camp mechanics from the single player mode but with more customization options. Let me hire NPC's and manage them in my camp.
More character customization options. Body types and voice. Hair and beard growth.
Port over all the activities from RDR2 like fishing and other minigames. Add Liar's Dice to the game goddamnit!!
Less focus on death matches and more focus on open world activities and missions.
Passive and PvE-only lobbies. I want to hang out in the saloon without toxic players shooting everyone.
Owning a moonshine distillery will be in the game. I guarantee it.

I just want a more polished GTA Online TBH. That was one of the best online experiences I've ever had.

Though, how would owning properties work in this game? In GTAI, all players go into the same building and load into their own space. RDO properties should be out in the open though. I wonder how it will work. Can I see others' properties in the open world? What if we both own the same place?

TheRulingRing · Nov 18, 2018

No pay 2 win. The main currency should never be purchasable with real money.

Probably not gonna happen though after GTA Online. The problem is they have no competition. There's no alternative that comes even close to their offering.

Owning a camp is confirmed since the ultimate edition gives some camp customizations for RDOnline.

GTA Online isn't P2W though.

ASleepingMonkey · Nov 18, 2018

I forgot to mention this but I really want the return of the quick draw line-up at the start of multiplayer matches. Both teams are lined up and then everyone has to draw their revolvers and the survivors have an advantage on the objective/weapon drops while the other team respawns.

I loved that about RDR 1's MP

How about not marking players on the map with dots but with zones or tracks only ? That would dissuade griefer from wandering to less crowded areas, and would make more sense for gang members to stick together.

Even with passive mode some asshole could still just run around you on a horse to scare away the animals you're hunting.

Wein Cruz · Nov 18, 2018

I want to be able to shove dynamite up players horses butts and blow em up as they mount.

I'd also like to be able to dose horses in moonshine and then start the fire with a cigar.

Spazerbeam · Nov 18, 2018

I'll be honest I'm not going to touch it if it's anything like how GTA Online works. My main hope is that it doesn't get in the way of Single player DLC.

Knowing how reactive the horses are, you'd get your face kicked in the second you even lift its tail.

Good create a character options

That's what the brush is for.

IIFloodyII · Nov 18, 2018

We've had this thread, but I want every single animal to be present.

Also, no way to know who is a player, if there's some big ugly name/health bar above heads or big dots on the mini-map, I'll be pretty disappointed.

Nameless · Nov 18, 2018

To play a custom character in peace without drastically downgraded visuals and world events being pulled .

GTA games were about fucking around and causing sandbox mayhem so playing free roam online made a lot of sense . RDR2 is more about quiet exploration for me and honestly, I have little desire to be followed around and griefed by assholes wearing nothing but chaps and Jason masks while I'm trying to soak in the beauty of the Grizzlies .

BoxManLocke · Nov 18, 2018

I hope there are specific roles in gangs and ways to contribute to it without robbing or killing "innocents".

And why not put a bounty in place for gangs who behave like assholes ? Kill a wanted member once, get money. That could balance things a little.

Spring-Loaded · Nov 18, 2018

Weaponless "King of the Train" mode that involves train rooftop fistfights as the train rides through the map

Unlockable abilities like Panther Swarm and homing dynamite tomahawks

Bishop89 · Nov 18, 2018

Less realism and more chaos

Salty Rice · Nov 18, 2018

It being nothing like the main game and throw all the slow and annoying bullshit out of the window.

No place for slow walking cowboys maintaining their stupid cores.
