if only they released the older passes again

Yes they really should do that so people have a chance to get stuff they missed out on. Might as well now the game most likely will never have "new" content added anymore. It would be the least Rockstar could do for us.

Honestly, I bet there's no developers left working on Red Dead Online who know HOW to change the passes. :/

That would certainly explain why we've gotten the exact same pass for the last 4 years.

+1 To wanting the older passes to come back. :(

Sadly though, I don't think Rockstar has any interest in nurturing this game, despite it winning Steam's "Labor of Love" award. . .

Well they have someone at the helm to re-pole these RDO Playlists each month and apply the graphics pages to the website and also in-game. So I don't see why it would be any real trouble to them to re-activate the contents of the original Halloween Pass (I believe that was what gave out the limited time Horse Masks) and the various content that was limited time unlocks via Quick-Draw Club and Outlaw Passes. Either that or just unlock and/or make available all of those items someone who did not get to participate in those passes, allowed for everyone over Level 100; or something along those lines. That would be easier then try to re-role the passes during the time periods they originally were featured. Like Outlaw Pass No.5 was a series of passes (each with different content) over the course of months, during the 2021 period.

[Silhouette]

Aye, but the dev who originally set-up all that content likely doesn't work on Red Dead Online anymore, and if there wasn't good documentation written on how to change the passes, the "skeleton team" left to operate Red Dead Online likely doesn't know how to re-release to previous passes (like Halloween Pass 1).

lol, of course I could be wrong, but that's certainly what it feels like; it would explain why we've gotten the EXTACT same pass 4 years in a row. o_O

It shouldn't be very hard since we've had the "Red Dead Online Content" Mod for years now that brings ALL of that content (even the Horse Masks) to Story Mode.

lol, I don't know what the back-end code looks like in Red Dead Online so I can't comment one way or the other. XD

However, I imagine the process to implement different Passes online is more complicated than what the process in the single player Mod's is.

I imagine there's more "considerations" to hook-up everything correctly for Red Dead Online.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

It's a simple on/off switch with regards to code. If they can keep flipping that switch for Halloween and Xmas, then where is the excuse for the other content, there isn't one.

[Silhouette]

Because in game development sometimes the way things "should" be built aren't the way they're "actually" built.

Tight-deadlines and competing/shifting-priorities can sometimes interfere with setting-up things properly. @_@

Also, introducing old passes may cause unintended bugs if certain "parameters" aren't set correctly, and the devs responsible for that work may be busy with GTA6. o_o

Again, this is me just guessing. :P

Because if Rockstar can easily bring back older Outlaw/Halloween Passes with zero-risk of introducing bugs. . . WHY ON EARTH AREN'T THEY DOING IT!? O_O

(lol, I'm not yelling at you, I'm just screaming my frustration into the void. XD)
(I wish they'd bring back old passes.)

I'M SO CONFUSED. Can i or can i not get horse masks in this Halloween Pass ? if i can, will someone please tell me who what when where i can get the horse masks. If not, then i once again wasted my hard earned money for nothing. Please, no complaining, just give me a straight answer ? please and thank you.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

No that happened back in 2020. Can't get those anymore

[jethro_4243]

thank you, seriously, thank you.
