Thanks man! I tried to not be biased or suggest nerfs/buffs without video evidence or reasoning behind it. Like I said in the vid I personally love the GL respawn time but I showed why it’s extremely OP with a good team having map control
Great job!!!
Sharing this because I agree with it.
There really needs to be a WALL OF SEPERATION…between uncompetitive, low rank, inexperienced/low skill players and competitive/high rank/high skill players
This doesn’t mean statistically getting more matching skill players, it means if you are not skilled or experienced enough, you cannot play in the high rank field. This makes ranked actually worth something and social for those who aren’t competitive.
I mean there is a huge clear wall of separation.
I mean in matchmaking. During the tech test, especially if you we’re playing solo, new players were placed as a 5th man against high skill teams that were stacked.
This also consistently happens in gears 4. Im diamond and will play matches with a bronze or silver on my team which is like fighting with a broken leg.
This isn’t to bash new players either. I’m sure many casual players don’t want to play sweaty matches when they logon.
There were tons of issues with the matchmaking and ranking system. But i know what you mean now. I dont know if their algorithm will ever do such a thing.
The way they match is based on team average skill rating. Not trying to match all one tier of rank together.
I’m afraid because this is a $60 game, and current games have skins at a third of the price of the overall game.
And then if the direct purchases include new characters, it could cause a lot of problems for TC.
Yes, they don’t owe anyone low priced skins, but it’s a very fine line between too cheap and too expensive, and I’m afraid TC don’t know what that price is.
The good thing about all of this is that its just cosmetics. It doesnt change the game play. If you think they are too high then you dont have to spend any money

Yeah,
I understand people want the new characters and premium skins but they are appealing for a reason - TC need a reason for you to spend money.
But the choice is yours and it doesn’t change the game.

Exactly. There were a handful of BS character I really wanted but I wasnt going to support the RNG system and by the time TC put up the characters for direct purchase I felt it was too late in the games life cycle to pay for them

Could you allow for PC controller players to play cross-play regardless of the X1 cross-play toggle?
Maybe just use a mouse icon for mouse users, whether they’re on X1 or PC, and no PC icon?
If that’s not enough, you could even enforce certain settings for PC players if they want to be excluded from the X1 cross-play toggle, to even the playing field and not ruffle X1 players’ feathers. The specific settings could be auto-set when you choose the option.
If a PC player rather use a mouse or other settings flagged as giving an advantage, then the X1 cross-play toggle set to OFF would exclude them again.
As an Xbox player I approve this message

I agree with input matchmaking but not restricting settings.

Who programmed the bots in Gears 5? They walked around without a gnasher, only a lancer. They were taking a look at how the maps look instead of fighting the opponents.
At least in the tech test
Please!!! DONT PUT BOTS IN RANKED KOTH OR ANYY MODE
TC have you guys ever considered improving upon the bootcamp by implementing things like Wallbounce tutorials and advanced cover moves used by pro players and veteran players of the series? Many people have been saying for YEARS that you, as well as the previous founders of the franchise, to help new players. Dumbing the game down is not the way, bringing them up to our level is the way to do it. Ultimately the hardcore fanbase will love you for it and so will the new players because they don’t have to remain fodder for the veterans to feed on.
You could also add things like decision making when it comes to specific scenarios to improve their thinking. Bring in some pro players to help refine it. Link them with your game designers and get their feedback on the system. Put in a series of challenges to help them attain mastery

As a Gears fan since day 1, the lack of realistic gore makes me extremely sad

On my run of Tech Test. It seems the SOUND of FOOT STEPS from opponents is no loud enough. Some action sounds like explosions, weapons, etc… muffles the FOOT STEPS unless you have a headphone on. Without a headphone the FOOT STEPS is very hard to hear unless you are focusing on it but that is near impossible as you play the game lol.
I am sure most people don’t wear a headset and just have regular speakers. So please have a volume adjustment on the FOOT STEPS within options or something like that because I see alot of players get attacked from behind or from left and right as he/she diverts all attention in the action so it’s not only me lol.
Thanks
