    Serious question, how do you stay calm when playing Gears?

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 02:57 AM PST

    I'm genuinely curious, this game is without a doubt the most rage inducing experience I've ever had, but I've loved it since I was 12.

    How do you stay (or try to stay) chilled when playing?

    A neat lore note from the Hollow comic series I'm reading.

    Posted: 09 Feb 2020 01:55 PM PST

    Apparently Serans buried their dead prior to E-Day but as the Locust War raged on due to the sheer amount of dead and the association the ground got with the Locust the culture shifted to funeral pyres instead because they didn't want to give the Locust any more people(metaphorically speaking).

    Just an interesting little bit that popped up that I'd share.

    JD in Gears 6(Spoiler warning for Gears 5 I guess?)

    Posted: 09 Feb 2020 02:36 PM PST

    With the departure of Rod,I think that we will most likely go back to more traditional gameplay tenents of Gears(no rpg facets of any kind,no hub zones,no branching events) because whoever replaces him won't have 14+ years of Gears exposure and the personal need to shake things up gameplay wise.

    What I hope sticks is the diferent writing and focus on Kait. Based on that,I thought about an interesting way to deal with JD's future. That mini redemption arc that he had on 5 could culminate on a twist on 6. Basicaly he takes Del's death hard,and becomes reckless(not suicidal like Dom). That recklessness leads to eagerness to inflict damage to the Swarm/Queen Reina. That leads to him getting captured after an ambush. Instead of killing him Reina decides to take Marcus's son the same way Marcus "took" Kait. Whereas Kait got turned into a COG, JD will become a Swarm member(a recognizable halfling). And not just a low level grunt,but the top lieutentant. The simetry would interesting.

    Ranking Up Once You Hit Onyx Bug?

    Posted: 10 Feb 2020 01:17 AM PST

    So I finally hit Onyx Rank last night and decided to have two more matches. I won both matches and narrowly missed out on MVP in both (less than 50 points between me and the MVP).

    The after match report gave me zero points in both matches for each round.

    Is this a bug or is there something special that you need to achieve to rank up further like getting MVP?

    List of features/changes Gears 5 needs to make (serious post)

    Posted: 09 Feb 2020 09:18 AM PST

    I'll get straight to the point:

    1. Custom game settings. As it stands, the game still has the basic custom settings it's had since like GoW 2, which is basically changing weapon spawns and modifying the game type parameters to a small degree.

    It's time TC allowed us to take full control over modifying game settings: adjust player movement speeds, starting weapons and ammo, damage modifiers, # of times you can be downed, multi-team settings, etc. Think Halo's custom settings put into Gears. Plus, this would probably benefit the competitive scene since it gives more control over the gameplay mechanics.

    1. Banners need to display outside of just getting MVP. That's way too rare to even care about. They could do a number of things.

      I personally suggest letting us use banners like stamps we can apply on either the character or the weapon. Not only does this give banners a meaningful use in-game, but it also gives players an extra layer of customization to work with/toward. I don't see this change ever coming, however.

    2. Replay/Theator mode. To this day, I'm absolutely lost as to how Epic nor TC ever introduced this, especially considering the fact that Gears has a competitive scene. Players should have the ability to review matches, if not for pro players, then for everyone else who wants to examine their gameplay to see what mistakes they made and where they can improve.

    3. On that note, the esports scene should restrict spectator view mode to overhead cameras. The biggest issue with GoW esports is that it's incredibly difficult to understand the action and what's going on, even for veterans like me, because the camera is following 1 guy's perspective all the time - and the action happens so quick that you can't understand what the plays are, let alone how they relate to the overall state of the round.

    The overhead cameras make it much more enjoyable to spectate because you can actually make out what's going on in a fight and the plays the teams are making. You're not just seeing a bunch of bodies getting chunked; you're actually able to see plays and setups being made.

    1. Remove Quickplay. Replace it with actual, specific modes. Players shouldn't be forced into doing a ranked match if they just want to play some game mode. Idk about everyone else to be honest, but there are times when I just want to play casual KOTH and can't because I either have to sweat my ass off in ranked or hope that I catch it in quickplay.

    2. ToD stars

    These should be rewarded for regularly leveling your account, as well as for finishing ranked matches (to help reduce quitting).

    Currently, the only thing an actual level up (the number by your name) is worth is a small reward when you re-up. I recommend 2 stars every level.

    As for ranked, I recommend giving everybody at least 2 stars for finishing a ranked. And 4 for winning. This way, players get something whether or not they lose, and whether or not they gain rank-up points. I've been suggesting a change like this since the game came out to no avail. I feel like it helps more to reward players for playing, than to just punish them for quitting.

    1. Where is Ranked FFA? Where is Wingman?

    2. Not necessarily a needed change, but I'd like the ability to remove the thing where the camera zooms-in on executions.

    3. Revert the Gnasher mechanics back to the old school - that is, 8 shells, and you get a full-reload regardless of when you press RB. I have no idea why it's changed to 6 shells in Gears 5, or why you can only get 3 shells unless you perfect reload. The only thing I do know that it's served to frustrate me. I'm fine with active reload shots being gone, but there should definitely be 8 shells and full-reloads.

    4. IMPORTANT - Post-match stats should be available.

      I don't understand why this isn't a thing. I have a better time understanding quantum theory than why TC doesn't have real post match stats. The current post-match 'stats' screen doesn't give you any information on what actually happened in the game. All you really get is a point breakdown across rounds, which isn't enough information to help players understand what went right or wrong. E.g, you might win a 7-round Execution match, but lose points, and all you'll really get to see is which rounds you gained points or lost points.

    The stats screen should be a deatiled breakdown of everything that happened in the match, and there should be a breakdown on which stats are responsible for points gained and points lost. For example, in a match where I gained 500 points (imagine that), I should be able to see what stats contributed to that - so, maybe my kill/death spread was +20, which gives me +200 points, and maybe my assisted elims were 30, which gave me a certain number of points.

    I want to stress that if you agree with even some of these changes, we should try to make as much noise as possible.

    Gears could have taken the same path and going full e-sport, but the community was busy fighting about unlockables and skins and now there a laughable 400 average players on PC, declining steadily. (not much better on xbox)

    What is it with people that are level 3 playing insane

    Posted: 09 Feb 2020 11:17 AM PST

    I don't care if you're the best Gears player in the world. You can't hang on insane or higher without the right cards. It has nothing to do with skill. Go search for lower difficulties, get some cards. You could be the greatest horde player in the world but if you don't have cards you're screwed.

    Hey, new Gears player here. Anything I should check out?

    Posted: 09 Feb 2020 04:16 AM PST

    Recently just purchaded Gears 1 and 2, will purchase the next 3 once I'm done with 2. I'm interested in getting deeper into the lore and world building of the Gears universe, anything extra (e.g novels, spin offs etc.) related to lore I should check out? I already know the basics about the Locust and Pendulum Wars and the like, but I wanna explore more. Thanks.
