re: Red Dead Online Thread. Posse list in OP

Today we are starting to implement the first set of adjustments to the game including changes specifically geared towards creating a more balanced, fun and rewarding overall experience, across all modes and missions. These include:

• Increasing the cash and gold payments across a number of different activities including Free Roam Missions, Free Roam Events, replays of A Land of Opportunities Missions, Showdown Series modes and more.
• Reducing the prices of most weapons in the Wheeler, Rawson & Co Catalogue and Gunsmiths. For players that have already purchased weapons at the previous prices, we will automatically deposit the difference to player balances starting today - please look for an alert message the next time you log in to the Red Dead Online Beta to notify you of this change, refunds may take up until Monday, December 10th to reach all eligible players.
• Balancing the values of select pelts, skins and fish as well as horse reviver and pamphlets.
Of course our efforts to improve and balance the Red Dead Online Beta will continue. We are conscious of and still evaluating an assortment of further adjustments based on feedback from the community. We are currently working on fixes for some persistent bugs that are causing some players to be kicked from sessions, and we aim to have fixes for these live next week. We will also continue to review all the feedback and suggestions so please keep them coming to reddeadonline.com/feedback.

As an added thank you for playing and helping us through the beta period, we're also awarding everyone that joined in to play the Red Dead Online Beta at any point through midnight PST today with a gift of RDO$250 and 15 Gold Bars. Gifts should start arriving today and will hit all eligible players by Friday, December 14th.

Once again, we want to thank everyone for playing the Red Dead Online Beta and sharing their experiences so far with us. There’s still lots more to come so please stay tuned!


Tl;dr.
Changes to economy coming(weapon prices, mission payouts etc) Free stuff for anyone that's played so far. Bug fixes. Rockstar smoothing things over.

Ya when you look how other developers are fricking their customers over with subpar products and deaf ears this kinda stuff gives you hope.

Ah. Just rubber band a joystick down or something so you keep running, and it'll keep you in the playlist and unless you get disconnected?

Works wonders for your K/D if you're into that sorta thing

I hear ya. I could care less about k/d on rockstar games.

Gonna put those 15 free gold bars to use unlocking high ranked shite. Nice little option there to circumvent the ranking system.

Yea I care more about the vanity items in this game than i do anything else

Truth. Though the drain up there isn’t as bad as it was in single player. Definitely need to have food with you, but you can survive up there without a coat.

I went to the dress shop in St Denis and I'm pretty sure I got a free outfit that works well in cold weathered areas for the online portion of the game

I did. 15 gold bars and $250 as soon as I logged in to online. The payouts for showdown and racing are wayyyyyy better too.

Yeah, I got $17 for one showdown last night. Never seen that before.
