Anybody share some streams links? I'm hesitant to browse twitch and get a bait and switch of the online mode when it's actually story mode because I'm nearing the end but won't be able to finish until this weekend likely

Can someone gives a quick rundown of the known features or is it listed somewhere?

Seems to cover the basics:

https://www.pcgamer.com/red-dead-onlines-battle-royale-mode-just-gives-you-bows-and-knives/

  • Battle ROyale mode that places you around different areas of the map and focuses on using bows & throwing knives, supports 32 players, no other weapons in this mode yet
  • NPC given missions to steal horses, avenge people's deaths, do tasks for local law enforcement taking down gang leades
  • Gang hideouts
  • Lots and Lots of Races.... with.. horses..
  • Staged modes like territory battles and death match
Probably some more, but not a full feature list.

Sounds very sparse, as beta would imply. The emphasis on horse races sounds really stupid to me. I can't think of anything worse than tapping A for horse races against real people.

Is there no passive mode equivalent? I went through all the options and couldnt see anything resembling it?

Oh man, I just skipped through a livestream, and there definitely are some familiar faces.

Don't click if you want to avoid spoilers. Otherwise, at 1 hour 18 minutes 25 seconds into this video.

It might also give an indication where this takes place relative to the main story, if you're trying to avoid that too.

As someone who is still barely into Chapter 3, does anyone know exactly when Red Dead Online takes place in relation to the single player story? Worried about spoiling myself when I get started

At the very least, it's before some of the more final events of the game. It could even take place well before the SP campaign in general. There's nothing referencing any major SP story beats in my couple hours of playing so far.

Well shit, they got Bonnie back? That's my reason to play through the story, at least.

We haven't gotten anything official yet besides the Newswire update yesterday. And yeah R* said that they were going to release more info today. This whole release has been weird.

For those of you able to play/watch the stream,
Is random deathmatching in freeroam discouraged? I hated that in GTAO and they made comments about about trying to make a world where you would work together in RDO.
How's it looking?

From watching streams I havent seen any penalty from killing other players. Saw no police or bounty system yet.

Beta progress carries over to full launch right?

I'm sure it will.

This "Beta" Rockstar is doing is just a way to cover their asses in case the servers keep going down

Unless, someone figures out a game breaking economy glitch. Then they can claim it's a Beta and reset progress.

We'll see.

Found this on R* website

"We hope that all player progress during this early period of the Beta will be able to remain intact long term, however as with many betas for large scale online experiences such as this, there is always the chance that we may need to implement rank or other stat resets in case of issues,"

This isn't really a beta in the traditional sense. The word is just kind of there to.cover themselves a bit.

Do you think everyones Fortnite progress will carry over? Still.in beta

[stat reset possibility]

I think this is the best approach, even though it's frustrating. GTA Online scaled very, very poorly. The economy was utterly broken in months and only got worse and worse. But, that was also a flaw of the initial design which was terrible and didn't plan long term at all.

Still can't get in. Bizarrely, this has lead to me playing Saints Row 2 for the first time in 10 years, which is nice.

Then I can't play the online mode which wilp be 90% of the game in the long run if GTA is anything to go by.

Not sure which system you play on but in GTA Online on PS4 you can get around this by manually setting your network MTU to 800. Basically a private online lobby with none of the penalties for playing an actual solo lobby. I'm fairly certain there is an Xbox work around as well though I don't recall what it is. Hopefully it works on RDR2 online as well.

I'm on Xbox, going to look into this trick for GTA. Me and some friends just enjoy running our businnesses and stuff without some kid blowing us up with attack choppers and jets.
