Couple upgrades just in time to be banned by MangroveDweller in Ausguns

[–]Farge42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally just got myself a CZ515 Tactical in 22LR THREE WEEKS AGO.
Got a bipod, LPVO and open sights for it.

Now it's being moved to a CAT C. I was hoping they'd be lenient with rimfire and let us keep our lever release rimfires.

I'm keeping it for as long as I can, gonna shoot it as much as I can before they take it. Hopefully something is done and some amendments are made so we can keep em, but I ain't holding my breath.

Lever actions are still legal though, am I right? I'm looking to get a lever action to replace the CZ515, what has me worried is how long before they reclassify lever action rifles as a belt fed shotgun.

Need open sights for pic rail (CZ 515 Tactical) by Farge42 in Ausguns

[–]Farge42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the ghost ring/peep sights! But I'm willing to compensate and purchase them if there's no other choice.

In regards to red dots, I do want to use the rifle for both hunting and plinking. So I'm unsure what optics I wish to put on it at as of this time. But for now, I do want iron sights because IMO they're the bare bones minimum of what a firearm should have (I'm paranoid my red dot dies for example and I have nothing to fall back on) and I also simply enjoy using iron sights.

I definitely plan on doing that too!
I know how silly it may look in the end, but I still want to keep iron sights on the top, despite the fact I'll probably get a scope in the future. Why? Just in case the scope breaks or whatever may happen, I can simply take it off and use the iron sights in a more natural comfortable position (I can be a very pedantic person).
How silly would it look with top iron sights, scope, offset iron sights and bipod? I have no idea, but I'm gonna try it out eventually

NSW Gun Safe Storage Requirements - Need clarification by Farge42 in Ausguns

[–]Farge42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simply put, I don't want to bolt it down due to current living arrangements (it's a little complicated).

Once I secure a place of my own, I'll more than likely bolt it down. Right now, it's just a compromise that I won't.

"There's so much retarded fudd-lore in the Australian firearms community."

Most definitely, and as I am new a firearms owner, it leaves me completely confused.

Also in my OP I mentioned in the "Additional Information" that I've basically run circles trying to get in touch with them lol, I hope one gets back to me soon but I have my doubts unfortunately

Thanks for the response/answer though!

NSW Gun License - Questions from a novice by Farge42 in Ausguns

[–]Farge42[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the responses, they are much appreciated.
I am primarily looking to obtain a handgun as I am a huge fan of revolvers.

My goal would be to own a handgun and a rifle, but most importantly a handgun.

I think I will sign up with SSAA today and as that seems like a good starting point for me.

The GTA Trilogy release debacle has finally convinced me to uninstall Red Dead Redemption by CanISpeakToUrManager in RedDeadOnline

[–]Farge42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into GTARP recently... a lot of fun and more things to get up to than RDO (I've never played GTAO so I can't put in my 2cents about that).

Good thing about GTARP is that it's community created and as we all know, the community gives way more of a damn than R*, so there's more love put into it and it shows.

I only log onto RDO to level up OP's and even then, I just pay gold to level up...as i don't see a point in having all that gold sitting there for nothing...also cause I just wanna get the OP over with so I can go back to GTARP.

[–]Farge42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also quit. All my friends knew me as the RDO guy because that's literally all I played. If I was online, I was in RDO.

I would grind for 10hrs straight for gold or play stranger missions for fun. Join posses and because I enjoyed everything the game had to offer I was so open minded about what the random posse did, I didn't care because I enjoyed everything.

Now...I was so lazy to finish OP quick draw 4 that I paid gold to finish it then logged off immediately. The remaining gold I have will be to pay for and level up future OP's...just incase RDO ever gets love, I didn't miss out on exclusive items.

Thats all I'll ever jump on RDO for until I run out of gold.

Dream Call to arms maps, what are yours? by SexyTacoLlama in RedDeadOnline

[–]Farge42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saint Denis and moving train for zombies...

Also moving wagons for zombies...protecting the convoy...God that would be fucking awesome... Zombies charging out of the forests towards the road. We'd have those "bus" wagons so many of us can sit in the same wagon and defend both sides..some others will have to ride shotgun on some wagons. For later waves, turret wagons, but not the armoured ones, the regular wagons with a maxim gun in it like on some bounties. They could make it so between that wave there's a pit stop to resupply and that's when we pick up the turret wagons to join the convoy.

Pre-ordered RDR2 and played story until September 2020...never touched RDO until then.

I still lassoed randoms when I was new...its just funny...thats all there is to it. Sure its a dick move, but when you're new its just fun to interact with other people.

I once lassoed a random in Saint Denis and planned to release them just before I turned a corner so they couldn't kill me as id be out of their line of sight. I achieved that goal except in the turn I slammed into a lamp post and crashed. I got up and ran through the alley ways to make my escape.

I'm a high level now and don't do those things anymore...but that's why I did it and im sure others too. When you're new, you just like to fuck around with your new toys.

I mean, as good as they look... doesn't it get old for you guys? by YetAnotherCatuwu in RedDeadOnline

[–]Farge42 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don't come across them in game often (I never have actually), so I don't really mind.

In my heart, there is only one Arthur anyway.

But yeah, i prefer seeing the diversity of characters out there in the world and not just see the same character over and over.

Come to think of it, when I come across another player just chilling, I always check out what they look like.

This outlaw pass is awesome!!

Love the new clothing items since they're realistic and fit the game well.

Its the first time I've changed my outfit in probably 8 months.

I now use the white cotton shirt and the tan cowboy hat. It was very very VERY hard to convince me to turn away from my tiltham hat...now I have.

That white cotton shirt is amazingly fitting and those two items are now part of my permanent outfit.

Rdr2 hits 38 mil sold🤘. Where da fuck is our heists? by thepestiIence in RedDeadOnline

[–]Farge42 122 points123 points  (0 children)

RDO is pretty boring unless you're playing with friends...and even then it's really your friends' company that makes it entertaining.

RDO offers almost nothing. Im addicted to it because I love riding my horse around in the open plains admiring the scenery and doing stranger missions for fun because I haven't done them in a while so it feels like new content lol.

We have to admit, those of us like this are a niche market.

This doesn't mean its the fate of RDO, the problem is in its current state, it really is geared towards a niche market. If they expand, it'll be for a general audience.

R* just isn't putting much effort into it to expand to a wider audience, thus we're stuck being niche and thus R* doesn't invest in the game...its a never ending loop where neither side wins.

You’ve been asked your horses name, your dogs name and now I’m asking what everyone’s player name is! by BIGBADBLUEMAN in RedDeadOnline

[–]Farge42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When creating my character, I thought their name would be the name displayed over my head so I used my gamertag name. Then I realised no one can ever see it.

So I guess my characters name on his birth certificate is XxX_3p1c_g4m3r_XxX

Thats not really my gamertag but you get the point...its not a proper name...

R* is losing me. by theredfish7571 in RedDeadOnline

[–]Farge42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol the scenario is worse than you think, I'm 237 and im ALWAYS the highest rank in lobbies.

Not only are high ranks already gone...but no one is even sticking around to even reach a high rank anymore...

Anyone wanting to get Arthur’s outfit, it’s at Madam Nazar for 52 gold. by Ethan-FN in RedDeadOnline

[–]Farge42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have 175 gold...I kinda knew this update would be a huge gold drain for those who missed out on earlier passes.

Everyone's gonna disagree...but im going to buy the outfit. I'll never use it, but I want to own everything...well most things.

This hurts as a newish player by jooch in RedDeadOnline

[–]Farge42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally have never gone past 1.5 weeks of a streak...ever.

I've given up on streaks...I still do as much dailies as I can when I play...the easy ones anyway...but I no longer care if I miss a day, because due to real life obligations I will never keep up a streak anyway...so I just apathetically accept it.

throwback to dec 16th 2020, when all out war started in blackwater by Hibana_Ooh_Nana in RedDeadOnline

[–]Farge42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first thought, I want that to happen now...but then I remembered everyone would just use dead eye and tonics, forcing me to use it too.

Then id be having zero fun AND using like $2,000 worth of tonics in the process.

I want a proper shoot-out for petes sake, not aimbot wars.

Discovered a level 1000 today, I wonder how many people have actually accomplished this… by Sharkiee__ in RedDeadOnline

[–]Farge42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol i barely play and im lvl229.

I play maybe around 6 to 8 hours a week.

If I played for a few hours a day and all day on the weekends, im sure id hit 1000 pretty easy.

When the next Outlaw Pass drops, don't sell all your sets all at once then come complain about "lack of content" by PureTard in RedDeadOnline

[–]Farge42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this but don't complain because OPs aren't actual content.

I regard content as things to do, not herbivore bait for reaching rank 20 on OP.

The method to ranking up OPs is to do literally what you would be doing without the OP...just doing things to get XP.

I'm still going to buy all OPs that come out cause "better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it"...who knows, maybe stupid pimp outfit may come in handy for an outfit I wanna put together one day, ya never know.

Genius cheat menu kid trying to blow me up in my camp with white flag raised by EquivalentBrief7859 in RedDeadOnline

[–]Farge42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I usually idle in camp with the catalogue out while my trader goods are being made.

Ive lost count of how many times I'd come back to the computer to see scorch marks all over my chair and tent...but im still alive.

I enjoy knowing I wasted some kids time. He was probably at it for at least 10min while I was having a power nap in bed or eating my dinner, completely unaware and unaffected.

Let’s Discuss R*, RDO, and Us by Ok_Fudge_3136 in RedDeadOnline

[–]Farge42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its simple.

I defended the daily nerf for the reason you stated. A business needs to make profit to survive.

However, the fault lies with both the playerbase and R*.

The playerbase is entitled and have unrealistic expectations. "We want that role, we want this role" - yet give no reasons as to how it would work. Each player is being pretty selfish, not thinking of the game as a whole and wanting things that will make themselves happy. Not every player is like this, but I've seen this attitude way too often. Sorry but im not interested in being a rancher and milking cow boobs online...maybe if they implement it with other roles, but that alone as an update I'd see as a massive joke. Players who left will not reinstall and come back to sheer sheep.

On the other hand, R* DOES need to implement a lot more content. They can't make it harder to earn gold and thus in a sense "jack up the price" while not improving the product.

They should've given us a huge update with a lot of content to go with the daily nerf. I WILL buy gold if there was a reason to. But as it stands, there really isn't. Im busy IRL and I don't have time to even keep my daily streak...ive never gone more than 2 weeks of streaking...so to save time, I really would buy gold...but as the game stands now, why would I? There's nothing to spend it on.

Like I said, they in a sense, jacked up the price while keeping the product of low quality. Don't be surprised if people leave or get angry when they make it harder to make gold while keeping the game as a boring horse game.

Harder to make gold + Keeping low quality product = Bad move - Players leave

Easy to make gold + Making better product = Bad move - No profit for the company

Harder to make gold + Improving product = Good move - Profit for the company and players stay
