    Gears of War | Upcoming Subreddit changes

    Gears of War | Upcoming Subreddit changes


    Upcoming Subreddit changes

    Posted: 22 Oct 2019 09:11 AM PDT

    TLDR: With the feedback received and internal discussions, we all want this sub to be an informational and contructive place. We are introducing stricter rules and daily stickies that invite conversation and user interactions.

    Biggest takeaways, don't be a dick and remain constructive.

    Upcoming features for the near future include community events and flairs.


    Updated Sub Rules

    Based on sub feedback, we have a new set of rules taking effect next week. Please see some of the guidelines below.

    Montages/clips - Montage Monday will cease to exist, so you may post directly on the sub. Reason being, the weekly thread rarely had any traction. You simply need to follow rule 7 of self promotion; if your posts are more than 1/10th your personal site it'll count as self promo amd have grounds for both removal and temp ban.

    Memes - Starting with this update, memes will not be allowed full stop. Its crowding the sub from any real discussion and a lot of them are either reposts, slight variations or a straight up shitpost. The only exception is Meme Monday as stated below.

    Direct attacks - This isn't really a rule change, but we feel we need to restate this. Insults directed at someone (individual or group) will be removed and considered for a suspension. You can still say things like, "this is a stupid idea, why the F*** would anyone do this?!?!"...but things like "screw you, you're a F**t*d" will be removed. Feel free to express your thoughts, but do so in a way that isn't a direct insult.

    Just a Reminder - If a post is breaking the rules, consider hitting that "report" button.

    Daily Sticky Threads

    We have a new system of daily sticky threads starting next week. We will continue to try having 1 news-related sticky per day as well as 1 sub-related sticky per day.

    • Sunday - Daily Discussion Thread
      • Have questions you want answered? Post them here!
      • Have a general topic you want to discuss, but don't wanna make a thread, this is your place!
      • Have a little rant that's not thread-worth...go for it!
    • Monday - Meme Monday
      • On Monday, we will be relaxing the meme submission rules on the sub.
      • Feel free to post Meme Threads, or even just post some of your favorites as comments to the sticky.
      • Please let us know your thoughts on this!
    • Tuesday - What Grinds my Gears
      • Frustrated about something? Hit that CAPS-LOCK button and post away!
      • Basically you can rant about whatever you want - but remember, no direct insults!
    • Wednesday - Daily Discussion Thread
      • Same as Sunday
    • Thursday - Dev Stream Thread
      • Every Thursday there is a developer stream. This thread will raise awareness.
      • Use this thread to submit questions, and hopefully we can get some good responses from the devs!
    • Friday - Daily Discussion Thread
      • Same as Sun/Wed
    • Saturday - COG Enlistment / LFG
      • Looking for people to play with? Find others or post your GT here to meet up with other members!

    One Last Reminder - Report Feature

    Again, reporting makes our lives much easier. If you see something that you don't feel belongs on the sub, use the report button and it will be added to our queue.

    Please do not just report anything you disagree with. Reports should be for items that you feel violate the rules of the sub or reddit as a whole. And yes, this includes direct insults.

    Just to be clear, reporting is anonymous - we can't see who submitted it.


    Moment to thank /u/bchaps for the write up.

    Literally Gears 5 lmao

    Gotta love snow physics

    Posted: 22 Oct 2019 05:31 PM PDT

    Yeah sounds about right

    New addition to the Memorial Wall

    Posted: 22 Oct 2019 09:07 PM PDT

    New skins look amazing but TC still hasn’t learned to just leave the Gears 5 logo out and stop branding everything

    Posted: 22 Oct 2019 10:16 AM PDT

    These Jack-O'-Lantern Skins are amazing, I love how they glow like a candle is inside them mimicking a pumpkin on Halloween.

    Posted: 22 Oct 2019 09:42 PM PDT

    Epic Fail

    Posted: 22 Oct 2019 10:27 PM PDT

    Looks like the another glitch revealing future skins (via @SirMrRealityMan)

    If every new character that’s introduced in this game forces me to grind like it’s an MMO then I’ll be forced to stick with playing with keegan and Gilded RAAM

    Posted: 22 Oct 2019 06:42 PM PDT

    I got a full refund from Microsoft store

    Posted: 22 Oct 2019 11:57 PM PDT

    I could not finish part of the campaign because of so many bugs and glitches and maps not even loading textures correctly so I didn't know where stairs or doors were etc. What a disaster because the game play has always been my favorite. I returned it and said it's an incomplete product and not working as intended and I got a full refund. I'll probably re-download on Steam in a few months when it's $29.99.

    RAAM looking like a faded shirt. I can't be the only one that would like him changed a couple shades darker. Am I?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2019 02:57 AM PDT

    I think Gears should look darker again

    Posted: 22 Oct 2019 06:13 PM PDT

    Don't get me wrong, Gears 5 looks great. Terrific even. But it also looks a bit more generic. If you just showed me a picture of a city from the game I probably wouldn't be guessing Gears of War immediately. I think Gears has lost its unique visual identity. I'm not saying we should have no colors. But the gritty attitude of Gears in its visual appearance feels gone.

    After grinding all afternoon, and my medal progression not being recorded, I can happily say I won’t be playing Pumpkin ball until next year ��

    Pumpkin ball taking forever to verify match for anyone else?

    Posted: 22 Oct 2019 08:02 PM PDT

    Seems at the start of every pumpkin ball match I'm waiting 3-4 minutes to verify even when both teams are full. This happening to anyone else?

    Public horde should be reduced to 20-30 waves

    Posted: 22 Oct 2019 12:47 PM PDT

    I think 50 waves of enemies is way too long to have as the standard for online horde matches. It's one thing if you have a dedicated group of friends to play together but playing with random people online is way different. I can't even really get mad at people for leaving matches because honestly who has time to sit for over an hour without a break to play one match.

    I enjoy playing the Terminator event mostly because it's only 20 rounds and people are much more likely to stay till the end.

    Pumpkin ball currently tracks wins, not matches played

    Posted: 22 Oct 2019 12:48 PM PDT

    The pumpkinball medal currently tracks wins rather than matches played, so if your progress seems like its not tracking properly, thats why.

    [SPOILERS] Story dlc

    Posted: 22 Oct 2019 07:38 AM PDT

    (Horrible Edit) But some skins I'd love to see in Gears 5 for the Hivebusters. Young Keegan in Onyx Guard Armour, Lahni is Tais Awesome armour (the gears 2 armour looked better) and Delivery Driver Mac to return because popular demand :). What kind of skins would you guys want added into Gears 5?

    Put all the maps into the rotation

    Posted: 22 Oct 2019 04:31 PM PDT

    feels great to play on foundation, put the other maps into rotation

    when the game first came out i was against putting the gears 4 maps in cause i wanted to try out the new maps, my mind is completely different now the gears 4 maps are a refreshing change pls throw them into the rotation

    Favorite Gears title and why. I really am curious.

    Posted: 22 Oct 2019 08:53 PM PDT

    Personally my favorite Gears game is 3 just the emotions I felt from losing dom and just that whole act was depressing not only that but I felt Gears 3 was an emotional/character driven story unlike gears 1 which was more of a war story (if you know what I mean). Just characters like Cole, Marcus, Anya,etc. Also we got like the best carmine my boy Clayton the grub killer himself. I know a lot of people like and I see why but that's not the point I just really wanna see what people feel towards their favorite gears game!

    Best Skill Cards for each character?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2019 02:55 AM PDT
