Focused feedback: Ally EXP

Gears 5
#114

The Division 2 handed out some bans recently. They caught a bunch of blowback from it as well.

If you modify the game somehow through a hack or mod, most certainly you should get some type of ban. If you are just playing the game as presented and there’s an in game issue, a developer would be stupid to punish avid players. You then create a culture of fear around playing the game.

The only exception I could see to this is if a developer made clear statements about using a particular exploit prior to taking action. But there again, a culture of fear has no place in gaming.

He thinks the big changes consists the allied xp, but it’s actually gnasher tuning, character nerfing and other nerfing…

I’m so used to their lies I’m not even disappointed

They should probs just ditch the whats up and just inform every1 with a weekly stream.

Cant wait for tonites, wonder if dana will be taking lead and doing the pvp like octus would do,:rofl:

It is pretty disheartening how long this fix has been promised for.

I hope we get some word about it on the dev stream tomorrow, if Op 4 doesn’t bring massive changes because they have been delayed to Op 5, I would at least hope that the Ally system comes with a rework.

Yeah, it’s not a priority for TC. Gnasher tuning is more important.

Glad I already got it when the bots were still ‘dumb’ hehe.

This is too true, i played gears 2 and 3 long after i had maxed it and still had a blast, but yh they have made this game a grind fest to get achievements and unlockables and with 50 re-ups and the current state of the game i will not attempt to get that, if the game was solid yh id have no problem and would play it for years to come, but instead TC have reversed it, give the players rewards for playing x amount of time instead making a very stable functional game that players will enjoy for years to come.

In regards to the achievement so far i think i have only just got into level 3 with one of my friends everyone else is level 1 and we play together when ever each of us is on, but when i first saw that achievement i thought it was a bit ridiculous and in the current state the game is in, it isn’t fun to play the majority of the time, so definitely needs to be lowered IMO, if the game was fun and functioned properly, consistent then i’d have fun and most of my friends would too so the achievement wouldn’t be an issue.

I got mine done over a two week period , Instead of tweaking achievements that work fix the string of ones that are ■■■■■■ up

#131

Which achievement did you do over a two week period?

#132

Was there any information about when they might look into this / implement something to improve the ally xp?

#133

TC said in a dev stream around April that they were looking to put it in sometime in Op3 or in Op4.

I don’t think it will come in Op4, and from the sound of Dana in last week’s dev stream, it didn’t sound like a change was coming soon. It almost felt like nothing was going to change, from his response.

I don’t know if he said anything in this week’s dev stream though, I’m watching it now to see.
