Team-based modes seem to be a bit iffy. One got me $50 for winning, two got me $20 for winning.Nope, can't confirm it.
Big team battle 3 teams king of the hill, we won, I was even the best of my team.
17$.
So no, same old shit.
This may be the first time I've seen where some people seem have the patch changes and others, not.
Wow, if the refunds actually go out for the price difference (as per the patch notes), I should have some serious money coming in.If you have the companion app installed, you can check out the prices of the guns in the online catalog. Slow day at work, so I'll list 'em here:
I only remember the old prices for a few of them, so please forgive me that I don't have all the old prices.
Mauser Pistol = $600 (was $1000 IIRC)
Semi-Auto Shotgun = $540
Carcano Rifle = $456
Semi-Auto Pistol = $537
Rolling Rock Rifle = $411
Repeating Shotgun = $434
Volcanic Pistol = $270
Litchfield Repeater = $348
Pump Action Shotgun = $266 (was $444)
Lancaster Repeater = $243
Bolt-Action Rifle = $216 (was ~$380)
Schofield Revolver = $192
Double-Barreled Shotgun = $185
Springfield Rifle = $156
Double Action Revolver = $127
Sawed-Off Shotgun = $111
Bow = $124 (Pretty sure this didn't change at all)
Cattleman Revolver = $50
Varmint Rifle = ??? (was $76, but I own it so can't see the price)
Have you run a mission/job yet? I can't imagine different servers making a difference. If the game is patched, it should be patched.Different servers maybe? I'm actually not sure if I got the changes. The only thing that seems different for me are the gun prices. The rest appears to be the same.
Therein lies the biggest current issue. They can fix the economy, but if they don't start adding shit to do in the game, I don't know how it's going to survive. There are only so many mail bags and carriages I can stand to deliver. At some point, I need something more in depth.So what is there to do exactly? It seems like the core gameplay loop is either chasing stats that seem rather meaningless, or griefing other players.
Do the missions ever go into full on heist territory?

Omg I'm an idiot. I totally forgot that they were separate currency things. I guess because I haven't even gotten a full gold bar yet lolGold bars are the MT currency and we don't really know the exact worth right now because you can't actually buy them yet. Only earn ingame, so no pricing info currently.
That's actually huge.I'm getting around 50 cents from looting bodies now, so there's that.
Bingo.who gives a shit about the economy, where's the stuff to do lol
That's a big buff. Those missions used to give like $2-3. lolSo I just did a Wagon escort mission. It gave me 260 xp and $10.38. That doesn't seem buffed?
It was like $4 or so on average for the free roam missions I believe.So I just did a Wagon escort mission. It gave me 260 xp and $10.38. That doesn't seem buffed?
Yeah the exact amount varies, but yeah $10 is a pretty nice upgrade. It actually makes them worth doings. On the XP, I have no clue.
Eh I don't care about that. The horses die so easily and often, I just keep using the free one.Not sure if anybody mentioned this, but horse insurance is $125 now. I don't even have the option to spend gold on it anymore.
Gold payouts have been upgraded, for PVP at least. Was sitting at 1.92 gold, played Showdown Large for like.. an hour and a half or so, was sitting at 2.46. Decent rate for getting those minor things that cost 1 or 2 gold.
Honestly, my horse has died only once so far, but I still figured I'd get the insurance for it.Eh I don't care about that. The horses die so easily and often, I just keep using the free one.
My horse is always either smashing into rocks and trees, or falling off cliffs, or getting shot dead by other players. My horses lead a tough existence. lolHonestly, my horse has died only once so far, but I still figured I'd get the insurance for it.
lmaoGood. Hopefully there's some retrospective bans or stat resets.
It kicks you midway through now, and there's no consequencesWhere did you see that and what are the consequences?
I didn't AFK btw...
Ok thanks. At least they'll get kicked. But that doesn't help for peeps who rubberband....
Eh, at least missions pay out decently now, so we actually have stuff to do when we're playingOk thanks. At least they'll get kicked. But that doesn't help for peeps who rubberband....
2.50
Yeah it's still grindy and there still isn't much to doNow that people have had more time with this...is it still the waste land of MTX garbage that people thought it was when it first went live? Or is the grind not genuinely unbearable for something simple like "horse insurance"?

It's basically a reskinned GTAO, it'll get better when robberies etc get added
You get 8 gold nuggets per pvp match now I got a gold bar in like 12 games plus quite a bit of cash. It's still gonna take you a bit to grind out but 12 games isn't bad for a bar and you might get more nuggets for winning the best I did was 5th place in most wanted.
If you have mates who play it its worth playingGotcha. I may hold off for a while longer yet (I still haven't bought the game). I'm sure there will be a sale some months down the road for the digital version plus some cowboy bucks or gold bars as a bundle.
Hopefully by then you can play poker or do something, too.

Once you're done with the first three moral choice mission (the ones where you decide someone's fate at the end), it either unlocks an honorable story strand or a dishonorable story strand. Since you probably started off noble, you did the two missions where you kill the brothers. The vengeful path is the one where you rob the oil company for that one guy.Did they add missions? Did a story mission involving robbing the oil company building that I never saw.
Interesting. Had no idea that was a thing.Once you're done with the first three moral choice mission (the ones where you decide someone's fate at the end), it either unlocks an honorable story strand or a dishonorable story strand.

I'm sure Van and Vapor approveInteresting. Had no idea that was a thing.
Also some piece of shit snuck up on me while I was minding my own business, killed me, then murdered my horse and disconnected immediately. What an asshole.
Where did you see that and what are the consequences?
