Wish I could play more! Been really busy with work right now. I wish PK, GG and all you guys played earlier in the evening. I usually wrap up at 11pst on weekdays unless it happens to be a friday and I had time to get on haha.

Been hearing they nerfed the Gang Hideout XP by quite a bit. Something like 200 points for Twin Rocks, 400 points for Pike's Basin. Dunno why though, since that was the best way to gain XP, and actual VS. doesn't give you a whole lot at all. Getting to Legend 5 was kinda plausible before....oh well....

I hope not. There was an update that rolled out last night. I haven't been able to play because it rolled out for PK and Assassin and I didn't get it. I haven't checked since about 5am this morning. I don't want it if that's the case!

Well, I tried Twin Rocks and only got 400 or so points out of it. I don't think all of them have been changed though, I still got 1200 or so from Tumbleweed.

Go my first gold gun now at least, the Schofield Revolver. I think im pretty close to getting the Semi auto pistol and Winchester also.

Rockstar commented on their Patch page.

@10207686 @Jefferson_NL @Jor-El and others, thanks for taking the time to give us all of your thoughts on some of the tweaks included in the title update, it was only after much consideration that we decided to balance out the amount of experience that's earned for completing Gang Hideouts in Red Dead's multiplayer Free Roam. We know this is a disappointment for those of you who've been grinding up lots of XP over the past couple weeks, but it's all necessary for proper balancing and tuning of the game variables. We hope you understand, and we've got some cool new Social Club challenges to look forward to that we'll be unlocking within the next week or so.

@PopeSickle We take cheating very seriously and are actively looking into addressing these exploits.

This will just push the people who were considering hacking/cheating to go ahead and do it. Bad move on R*'s part.

"but it's all necessary for proper balancing and tuning of the game variables"

That's such BS. The only balance necessary is in the PVP. Free Roam for the most part is people wanting to be left alone to do what they will. I'm not a big fan of unlockables to begin with. Oh well though, it's just a few hundred XP so I'm not all that concerned. I'd like to know what aspects go into their balancing of what is basically single player grinding. Who cares if you grind in free roam. If it's seriously effecting PVP then the stats should just be completely seperated. One lvl block for Free Roam and one for PvP related actions.

I think they did it, so we'd all play the co-op levels and not so much on the hideouts. That is, if the new co-op missions give XP. They fucking better.

Leveling has nothing to do with anything in this game, really. A level 1 could beat down a level 50. Especially if they know the better gun drops. You level in this game, to unlock a few characters and some lame mounts. Making it harder to do so, will turn many off of it now.

Agreed. I'm not a big fan of games that force me to go way out of my way to get unlocks. Grinding is acceptable when the game play stays fresh and the levels come quick enough.

Have you gotten far in your challenges? They can get mundane, but they can be a good way to break up the boredom.

I might try some of those challenges. I have not done too much with them but I did pass the falling backwards down a mountain while being eaten by cougars and survive, PK challenge haha :)
