I think it would be cool if there was also a team event where whichever team delivers the most or gets the herd to the destination 1st wins.
This would be Troll central.
With all cattle drives there’s a chance for rustlers
I was thinking that random in the server helps you 95% of the way and then starts hucking dynamite into the herd for kicks
Cattle rustler! Horsethief! I really want to be a proper horse thief, not joyriding a lone sad saddler after I butchered his owner.
This looks freaking awesome. I don't really do events, but I would do this.
**edit** It would be even cooler if horse size or type came in to play.
Imagine work horses having an advantage in this event! Everyone would have a horse just for that and my poor Appaloosa wouldn't feel so alone anymore 😂
i always love seeing people with appaloosas, no one ever has them
Lol I still have an Appaloosa. The only reason is because I’m too lazy to bond with new horses. But I really don’t think theyre that bad
Imagine all the possibilities with the horses. But nope. Take pics of animals
Thanks. I think if the free roam events had a wider variety and difficulty to them then you'd see more people participating. I like the idea that you have to work in those roles or the whole thing falls apart. It should be somewhat difficult to do. :)
As much as I'd love this, the first thing that came to mind was the lasso addicts that ruin co-op events 😂
Scale it down to posse size and make it a rancher role delivery.
Won't work with all the dynamite dickheads around. Pretty much every "coop" free-roam I join has at least one throwing dynamite.
Then were gonna have that one asshole that ruins it for everybody by shooting his gun in the air
Sounds good but they would have to make it where lassos didn’t work on players and dynamite was ineffective period or it wouldn’t be worth doing with the asshats that just join free roam missions to fuck with others
A "Lonesome Dove" Simulator. I love it!
I wonder if a handful of players could do this with the Bison that roam around...
Comes with cattle rustling role
Can I drive the chuck wagon?
That would be cool! Chisholm! And the cattle rustlers would be NPC's!
Tried to herd the buffalo into Blackwater once with a friend, was not successful, need more people.
I want a role for this! So we work on some ranch and do this, catch horses and tame them and all the things from Marston farm(cleaning the stables and milking cows)
This would be a fun event; I could see some griefers trying to ruin this event for others. I would love to have this sort of cooperation in a free roam event; instead of pure PVP lol. Then again, I also enjoy the hunting and photography events as well.
Except nobody would be smart enough to cooperate like that
I did a salvage other day, which you are suppose to use teamwork to get collectibles was lassoed and dragged by three separate people wasting minutes of collecting. Very annoying!
I'd honestly love a farmer and the ability to herd cattle and other animals
Oh i can see all ways this'll get griefed.
Was thinking this for a rancher/ranch hand roll.
Fallout 76 vibes intensify
I think this would be a good stranger mission or posse event for full posses only
I guess I’ve just lucked out but I haven’t come across one griefer yet. I’m sure I’ll eat my words next time I’m on though lol. But seriously though it’s been pretty good so far. I had one guy randomly ask if I wanted and gave me a Muskie haha then we ended up helping each other with some challenges so it was cool. Every other time I come across people I’ve had positive experiences as well.
They had cattle driving missions is RDR1..... they sucked. I like where your heads at but certain things don’t translate as well to a video game setting.
I can’t be the only one that was terrible at these, the start of rdr1 was practically hell
Yeah i like the idea of this but the amount of effort to make it work well would be asking a lot, and even then will it be fun/rewarding?
This would be awesome.
Yes oh my gosh please! How is this a western game with no cattle drives?! I'll ride point, thanks!
Griefers: Oh I dont think so
Would be similar to protect legendary animals, I like it
My dad and grandpa actually used to drive cattle like this, red dead is my heritage lol
I can already see some fucker throwing dynamite into the herd
Free-roam event: cattle massacre -- Kill everyone and sell the cow hides
Griefers=
Oh, boy. I gotta collect more animal fat.
This is a great idea
IRL hardly anyone plays the objective in free roam events
This as a role would be cool
But, we hated herding missions... the hate goes all the way back to RDR1 and herding the damn cows when the lightning strikes
Yes! I would love this kind of thing
All kinds of yes
Thats wholesome and perfect
Love it.
Once again, such simple ideas, idk why R* can’t implement them
This is great until one asshole player scatters the herd
Ghost riders in the sky plays as you ride
There was a co-op match like this on red dead 1. It was fun but not all that popular.....often had to wait a long time to get enough players.
I’ll always be a rancher at heart
As always with this, it's a good idea but depending on other players, I'm not sure... when I get lassoed repeatedly by an asshole in a Protect Legendary Animal event I doubt

You could probably make it a joinable event with pvp turned off for the players participating.
Mystic_Arts 141 points · Sep 2020
You mean like in Protect Legendary Animal? Or perhaps Trade Route? PvP is off for all PvE events its just people find a way around that. Even if the took away dynamite and lasso's people will just start ramming others with their horse in an attempt to ruin other players experience.
I guarantee if R* added a role or even event based around 16 players moving cattle I wouldn't play it more than I'd absolutely have to.

The worst thing about multi player games is the players.

Yes the minigame is a good point. All their missions are so cliche, repetitive and boring. Goes for gta too. They lay out a great world and give us the shallowest shit to do in it. I can see why it attracts griefers

its funny to me how some of the most well designed stuff is the "passive"/non-combat mechanics like hunting & fishing. All the PvP ppl will be like "you want a camping simulator, this is an oUtLaW gaMe" well, no, apparently this is a hunting, fishing, camping, horseback riding and wagon driving game with some tacked on PvP modes

I think a lot of the pve mini games would be a lot better if you could manually trigger them and just play them with your posse.
mediumvillain 3 points · Sep 2020
Its sort of amazing that there is no way to kick someone mid-game, bc most of the time its just one guy in free roam events or missions who is being an ass, and if you could remove that one guy things would work more or less as intended. This is a pretty basic feature of multiplayer games.

The vid, yes. Allegedly a reconstruction of an actual event. Which makes it even more nerdy.

It eventually turned out to be staged, but that wasn't know for years. Meanwhile it became a pop culture reference.

Yeah, anyone who thinks this wouldn't result in a player hucking dynamite into the herd is kidding themselves.

We deserve the right to kick a player as a group from an event.

Hey was that you?! If so, what a great match! If not, I'm glad you had a good match with another who enjoys NOT ruining my favorite game mode.

Sometimes I wish they’d lobby people up depending on how many times they’ve been a hostile player or been charged.
Idk if this is even possible but 🤷♀️
orrijin 5 points · Sep 2020
Before starting a game it prompts you with "would you like a free dynamite refill?" If they click yes it takes them to a server where everyone picked the dynamite, if you click no it puts you with others who selected no. Not perfect but it'd get rid of some of them and then they could blow each other up for a change.
Ivory-Robin 3 points · Sep 2020
That’s a unique idea. Does anyone remember how on Xbox 360 you could pick your play style? They were Family, Recreation, Pro, and Underground. That would also be a convenient match making system to pair people up who have similar play styles or goals.
agentscanpt 5 points · Sep 2020
Give players 1 ticket every 3 days (and also make a series of preliminary missions that need to be made - sort of singular deliveries of cattle in freeroam) to this event and pay $600 for 100% completion and you stop having griefers.

yeah, they would need to disable the ability to lasso or the rag-doll animation towards other players (Like they should in ALL coop game-modes)
but then i';m sure the sad-acts would find some other way to fuck it up for everyone else
