For those that missed the live stream - a lot of good information

[Civilize_85ers]

I think they committed so hard to the idea that they’d bring in a whole new audience by reducing the skill gap, that they are too embarrassed to let it go.

They seem obsessed with taking away the learning curve and allowing anyone to get a kill.

The best part of gears was always that you couldn’t just jump in and do good in your first game (like cod). There was huge satisfaction in getting good and being able to dominate anyone who wasn’t as good as you.

Now you can even get killed by noobs due to all this hand holding over the top aim assist, ridiculous no delay lunge melee and the rest.

There are NOT enough people like you and me. I can’t believe all the crap I read and it seems like people just brush off the core and fundamental aspect of Gears to the side. This and that don’t matter if the core is messed up.

It’s either that or they’ll probably have the lowest population of any gears game within the first year.

Is it not already? lol

I’m hoping these other weapon balancing changes are substantial enough to at least tone down the excessive lancering camp fests and two piece mania that the game has become …

The knifing thing is ridiculous. How did it even get through?

As for the balancing changing things, that is my hope too but we mustn’t forget about the design of the current maps and most likely of those to come.

All good changes plus a good amount of good maps and we got ourselves a Gears 5.

I’m glad they addressed my main concerns,

Fixing the Omen opacity or even better, letting us have the old omen, weakening the lancer and melee, and correcting flashbangs will make this game play so much better.

Did they mention the delays?

[Link23809]

It was both. Read the patch notes.

Earning Iron outside of ToD. They flat out said this is a premium currency and they do not want this to be obtainable via grinding or playing as it’s essentially money.

This is so lame. They sold out and got paid to include movie characters in their game yet things that take no time to make just to capitalize on the stupid for money.

Many thanks OP for the info,Fahz is getting a big overall ,fans will be happy,but I liked his saying PUKKA.please don’t remove

[DubiousIQ]

i wonder what they are doing with fahz in horde.

I’d love to see Called Shot back. Just what he needs.

[xXRealkainXx]

He needs Callshot, More % on Custom Longshot/Embar (50%) Skillcard - and TC also should thinking about powering up the Embar/Longshot (for Horde) in general IMO.

[PaintingPizza37]

All these changes are potentially very welcome especially omen options. However are they going to come soon enough to stem player losses or bring back players who have moved on? I’m not so sure.

The new tone is possibly a reaction to the numbers they know they’ll be losing to COD.

[Non_Photo_BIue]

any long term gears versus player can immediately see that the aim assist is way stronger in this game than any other gears game prior.

As someone who played nothing but gears 4 and logged around 3500 hours into the game and only that game, I can totally back this up. It was the first thing I noticed right away (aside from the clunkier movement)

[Ren3gade_COG]

I get iron is the actual money currency. But to fix that i was REALLLLY hoping to see MORE THINGS BEING CEAFTABLE n NOT ONLY PUNCHABLE with iron. Jeesus.

[Ren3gade_COG]

I played gears for 15 years n own a xbox solely to play it. I literally play nothin but that n fortnite on my xbox daily. There is A CRAP TON of aim assist. I HATE vs on gears 5.

[o_GH0UL_o]

It was both. Read the patch notes.

No it wasn’t.

You should be the one to read the patch notes because you’re totally wrong.

Show me where it says anything about aim assist using PvE values in versus in any patch notes put out by TC. The onus is on you to prove your original statement.

Problem is, you have no proof because you imagined it. I’ve read every set of patch notes put out and have never seen what you are claiming.

[Wheelaa1]

Talk is cheap.

Actions and results are all that counts.

TC can say whatever they want (acknowledging the game is in a poor state isn’t even a start, it’s just honesty) but I’ll wait for the fixes and the updates before I give them any credit.

[Ik_Haat_Smurfen]

I really hope they do fix all the problems so we can all enjoy our favorite franchise again.
I can not enjoy it in its current state.
I can barely find the energy to finish a match for the sake of my teammates.

[ChemicalBurn808]

I hope they don’t nerf the lancer. I went back to 4 a bit last week and while I love the game, I forgot how weak the lancer is in it.

[iAntique]

They are… I think they talked about increasing the fall off dmg and nerfing the active ROF boost to 10%.

[lPoZo]

What people are seeing are characters of different shapes and sizes that look like they’re not getting hit but they actually are bc the way the game works is all characters have the same exact hit boxes regardless of their shape or size.

I don’t buy this for a second. I posted a video of Raam, the biggest character, getting shot while aiming away from him with the gnasher left and right of his body. They stated it was a bug from PVE spilling into pvp. In other words, bullet magnetism from horde and escape IN versus. Now they’re saying it’s hit boxes and there was never bullet magnetism? ■■■■. Go play exe or Escalation then play arcade. The difference is vast. You’ll get hit markers aiming completely away from the enemy

As for an aim assist toggle, they said they are looking into it and may even reward players in ranked modes for using it since technically they’d be at a disadvantage.

That’s stupid. Who in they’re right mind would want to have a big, big disadvantage in favor of extra xp or scrap which gives you poor man’s skins? It’s not like the re up system gives good rewards. Either make it universal on ranked and completely remove it, or make it less impactful than what it currently is.

The community generally hated the different weapon tunings in 4. It split the player base. Now they want to do it again by having ranked use stronger aim assist than exe and Escalation ? TC are you incompetent?

They said they wanted it to be something that was utilized and not an afterthought, so they made it strong at launch.

In other words, make the two piece, which everyone hates, stronger. Then nerf it because we know we made it op. Lol.

This game released with broken servers, broken ranked matchmaking, broken versus. Guess what wasn’t broken? $$$

don’t believe a word these devs say. They knew what problems the game had since the tech test and ■■■■ still hasn’t been fixed. This is their third game and they still can’t get mp right.

Actions speak louder than words TC. And so far y’all haven’t proved ■■■■.

[ChemicalBurn808]

Greeeeeat! Heaven forbid the Lancer actually performs like an assault rifle should

[Haunted_Walker]

Stepping in the right direction!
There is so much to do with this game, my guess is it will be fully upgraded in one year and a half…

[Link23809]

I was referring to this:

• Fixed a bug causing the Gnasher to use PVE tuning values for bullet magnetism range
• Fixed a bug causing the Gnasher to still have bullet magnetism while ADS while Aim Assist is disabled
• Fixed a bug causing bullet magnetism to still occur when using the double zoom on any weapon while Aim Assist is disabled
