    Beginner Engineer Woes

    Posted: 16 Jun 2020 02:00 AM PDT

    Been joining a number of lower difficulty matches lately when levelling up some of my characters in Horde and realized just how bad and disorganized Beginner / Experienced / Advanced and hell, even Elite horde can be.

    We all have to start somewhere, but is there anything worse than having multiple lower level engineers trying to outdo each other in a match, I have so many examples:
    1. One built an MG sentry, the other built one right next to it, all in the line of sight (good luck trying to shoot anything!), all covering the same entry to the base, and are we still exposed on other entry points. And there's me trying to decide which of these engineers is more worthy of the power I collected as putting it in the fab in a situation like this is just asking for trouble sentries!

    2. Fabricator surrounded by barriers is another one - god forbid the swarm will try and take it away from us!

    3. First few rounds of deposits used on a level 4 barrier, which, it just so happens, is an enemy magnet (and of course gets destroyed), so the engineer gets to spend the next few thousand of power repairing it - love it!!

    4. Weapon lockers? Never heard of them, use ammo crates instead, oh and the other junior engineer will use both before you even get to them!

    5. Building loads of sentries and not repairing any, or struggling to keep up with repairing them, so we have a map full of downed tools, nice!

    6. Running after the engineer, trying to deposit power directly, which obviously sometimes triggers a melee, he does not notice the power deposited and puts a "What?" in the chat, oh boy!

    7. Pausing the game multiple times when yet another engineer joins, but since he doesn't know how to kick a player yet, we all get to experience the glorious stop-start nature of pausing the game - good times!

    8. An engineer setting up a level 1 Forge and never upgrading it - I mean it does cost thousands of power!! /s. I cannot believe how patient some Jack players are when this happens.

    9. Oh and speaking of upgrades - I have seen so many beginner engineers who don't even bother upgrading anything, you ain't got nothing for my level 1's baby, wooo!
    10. 25-30K power in the fab, we are all crying out for a weapons locker and spamming the chat, and the engineer finally hears our calls! We see him head for the fabricator, stand there for good 15 seconds and buy another MG sentry instead, oh you beauty!

    What are some of your gripes about lower difficulty Horde?

    GoW5 PC horrible performance

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 07:56 PM PDT

    Hey, everyone,

    I just started playing GoW5 via Game Pass on my PC (LTTP, I know :p ). I'm getting pretty terrible fps considering my rig (i7 5960x @ 4.5ghz, EVGA 2080 Ti, 32gb DDR4) - I'm getting the same ~50fps average via the benchmark regardless if I'm running in 4k or 1440p. I really don't know what's going on here, I'm running the latest nVidia drivers and other games seem to be fine (I'm not new to PC gaming). With some googling, going by others with a 2080 Ti, it looks like I should be getting 100fps at 1440p and 60+ at 4k. What's going on? I attached a pic of my benchmark result at 1440p.

    ​

    EDIT: I should mention I tried doing a clean install of nvidia drivers and also tried the "mouse polling trick" I saw by dropping the rate down to 250 and 125, neither of these helped unfortunately.

    Get into Map Editor! (Starter tips)

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 05:10 PM PDT

    Hey Gears, I'm on here all the time but this is my first post. I've really gotten into the escape map editor after forgetting about it at launch. Here are some things I've picked up that would have saved me a lot of time when I started! Please add what you've discovered!

    1. You can turn off the venom in the tiles tab, X for settings: (Delay = Never) This is great for old school pacing and horde-like setups.
    2. Every act has a $1000 budget. You actually have to be at $999 or less. Tiles are pretty expensive, but every duplicate you add, the price drops exponentially.
    3. When you add a tile, you'll see a stair icon and # at each exit. 1 is ground level, 2 on up is higher. Generally if you're matching a lower to a higher number, or vice versa, you need a corresponding ramp/ladder/stairwell between them. (but sometimes the editor is unclear?)
    4. You (and enemies) must be able to enter and exit every tile in your map. Standalone tiles (IE for vantage point spawns) won't work, sadly.
    5. When you add an enemy spawn, Y will give you options: initial delay is how many seconds after the trigger zone they spawn, which is great for ambushes. Spawn delay is how many seconds between each enemy variant (or if they're the only type) each individual unit. This is great for escalating combat.
    6. On tiles, Y lets you select lighting and aesthetic options. The lights only affect the light sources, not the whole tile. You can see these changes right after in the preview option.
    7. Every time you change ANY setting on your hive (the above, pickups, enemies) you have to replay the whole thing before you can publish. Again, once a tile loads into your map preview, you can see how these changes look. pickup / enemy positions randomize slightly per run. On a multi-act hive, you can play-test faster by adding the helipad at the end of the act you're troubleshooting instead of all the way at the end.
    8. VENTILATION SPAWN is the cheapest of the reinforcement tiles! Start here to preemptively cut costs.
    9. Re-check EVERY doorway (portals tab) prior to every play-test. Sometimes they randomly close by themselves and it's a huge headache to restart and open them again.
    10. Again, the enemy and pickup positioning is automated, but once you know where the preset locations are, you can shuffle things to the desired spot by changing the order of them.

    I think escape is a great way to engage people who are turned off by campaign fatigue or versus pressure, and I've gotten my two best friends to finally enjoy gears after years of pestering. I just published my map GEARS ACADEMY to "train the rook(s)" in everyone's squad, and it does a decent job of showing the kind of classic setups you can create. Check it out!

    [Conspiracy Theory] What if TC is purposely kicking people from full ranked matches so you lose your game/rank while people on the opposing team spam "jajaja ezz"?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 06:28 PM PDT

    Because I have no fucking other idea as to why this matchmaking is so cancerous.

    Problem With Tactics and Canon

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 04:05 PM PDT

    Just an observation on the timing of gears tactics to the rest of the series. It is supposed to take place two years before gears 1 I believe according to the game's description. However, the hammer of dawn strikes that take place in the beginning of the game take place just a year after eday to my knowledge, which would be one year earlier. They also had the chainsaw lancer in tactics, which according to jacinto's remnant(the second novel) means that it took them three days to mass produce and distribute a whole new assault rifle to soldiers (the idea to create the lancer took place three days before the hammer strikes, according to the wiki). Just a wierd thing to poInt out in the ti.ing of the series. Am I wierd to notice this? Does it matter anyway?
