RDO How do these Bounty Posters Work?

[oxidusnake]

I purchased my bounty license and completed the bounties and legendary bounties available in the towns. I am now level 3 bounty hunter. Now the only option available is to "replay" the legendary bounty missions and I cant get regular bounties to show up anywhere. When I replay a legendary all I am rewarded with is gold, no cash.

Can anyone explain how these posters work and perhaps how to continue down this role and get the bounty posters to start showing up again?

All bounty hunter progress has been stopped, i'm not sure if I am stuck in a bug or missing something obvious with these posters. Any help appreciated!

Every town has different posters and bounties. My observations about bounties so far:

- Cooldown of 1 hour on ALL legendary bounties after you finish one.

- Can replay a Legendary bounty as much as you want from a checkpoint or complete restart.

- Increase in difficulty upon successful completion. From 1-5 badge difficulty. On the higher difficulty you will be required to take down more than 1 bounty so bring your bounty wagon.

- Regular bounties can be run as much as you want. Your reward is connected to if you bring them back dead or alive.

- To maximize profit return your bounties that are on a timer within the last 30 seconds.

Regular bounty posters have stopped showing up in towns. At a bounty board the only options available are to replay legendary bounty missions on their easiest difficulty. They are not increasing in stars.

Are regular bounties not a thing anymore is it only legendary at this point or is this a problem unique to me?

Yeah i would report that to support. I am having problems staying logged in right now and the game is constantly crashing even on safe mode.

Try going to different bounty boards in different towns. Every bounty board has it's own bounties.

You should get 3 bounties per board, tier 1, 2, and 3, shown by the dollar signs above the bounty poster. You should also have a legendary option which is seperate and will grey out for 1 hour after completing one...

If you walk up to the bounty board and hold R, and then can't select 1 of the 3 bounties on the board, something is wrong and you must put in a ticket to get it fixed.

That being said, once you complete a tier 1 2 or 3 bounty, there won't be another on that board when you go back. You must go to a new town and change boards to get a new bounty of the same tier as the one you just completed. This is why so many bounties will have you turn the person in at another town so you can then take another of the same tier you just completed

UPDATE: Rockstar got back to me after submitting a ticket, took around 48 hours but the email just said "the necessary adjustments have been made to your account." Now the bounty hunter missions work. Still not perfect I tend to crash every time I look at the legendary board now but regular bounties are available and bounties are being paid out again.

wait what, they said "The necessary adjustments have been made to your account" ?! WTF wher you on a Sh!t list or what? should a bug not be all-around and not on a per account basis? what else can they tweak? the ablility for you to earn less money and gold nuggets online? ... now i'm more worried then before... my mind is racing like a F1 car and none of the thoughts are nice atm.

So you don't get cash for doing bounties? What about trader? Collector? Moonshiner? Advice?

Presumably, the current state of each character is held in some database somewhere (it pretty much has to be). At that point, your character is just a set of values in the database that get loaded when you go online and periodically updated as you play (e.g. stuff like how much XP your character has, where your camp is currently pitched, and what weapons you own). So, if a Rockstar employee who had access to that database went in and tweaked some of the values, then it could potentially fix certain classes of issues. I have no clue what they would have tweaked to fix this particular issue (maybe setting a cooldown related to bounties to 0), but I'm willing to bet that there are certain portions of your character's state that they just reset to the defaults to try to fix certain types of issues, and that's probably what they did here.

Given that it's known how the rate of gold bars for missions is calculated (e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/RedDeadOnline/comments/e4mwj9/bounty_hunter_payouts_and_tips/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share), I rather doubt that there's anything in the character's state that messes with something like that, but anything that's kept in a character's state would be fair game for an admin with access to tweak. It's just a question of what information is stored as part of your character's state. Some of it's obvious (e.g. XP earned, items in your satchel, current daily challenge streak, etc.), but without knowing the game's internals, there are bound to be pieces of information which are part of a character's state that we wouldn't think of.

Any game logic is operating on the game's state, which includes your character's current state, so it makes perfect sense that some types of bugs result from the game reacting badly to some aspect of your character's state, or the game does something dumb, because your character's state got corrupted in some fashion. As such, resetting some of your character's state wouldn't fix the bug per se, but it could make it so that you stop hitting that particular bug for at least the time being.

Does it have to be the last 30 seconds? Don't you get the same reward on the last MINUTE instead?

yea still if its like GTAO then i'm sure they can fork your account up. i was given loads of money in GTAO, the good-do-er i was i report this and ask them to take of the litterly millions i got from a modder, they asked me who it was and i was 100% truthfull i did not know, nor rememberd the name of set modder, i did not ask for it and it was given to me from a distance i never seen a player... anyways to make the story on topic, they took the dollars of my account BUT ever sins that day i never could earn good money. for some reason when i did my coke run i came acros NPC cops virtual in god mode on aim-bot mode, never ever could do a good sale, and i got other odd issues aswell its... well needless to say i'm paranoid of things like that. and one thing is for sure i'd NEVER GOING TO BE A GOOD GUY, HACKER GIVES ME SH!T i'd SAY THANKS.

btw: i'm on edge again, i used to get 12 materials for a perfect carcas, i only get 8 now ?! did they tweak the trader roll maybe? oh and yea i know not every thing give that much but i'm sure i got 12 before for buck.

It would have to be a whitetail buck. Other types of deer don't give you that much. According to https://www.reddit.com/r/RedDeadTraders/comments/dev0dr/red_dead_online_trader_role_materials_value_list/, you get 10 materials for a whitetail buck without the efficiency skill, and since the efficiency skill is 25%, it would be 12.50 materials with the skill. You probably killed a pronghorn or bighorn instead.

hm... sure it was a whitetail buck, but i could be wrong i'll check in a few minutes.
