And at least I can move a lot and not covering behind the wall. And also a single shot won’t kill me.

Hey atleast tc is getting rid of Baird’s bleeding barriers & Lizzies silverback crash!!! Yayyy
Yes, and not every match turns out the same. How can people not get bored with Exhibit anf Forge after a couple of master rounds?
Yeah, when I have a decent or good squad & we’re running 1-50 master horde runs, I always change the map after every match. Playing the same maps over & over again makes for a boring experience, eventually…
I’m totally with you but still every master match in the Custom lobby has the same couple of maps.

How could I forget the most boring of the boring!?
Ohhh… that’s what you mean. Carriers suck. They count because if you don’t kill it quick all your ish is gone.
I’ll just have the team die 3 times to get a different boss when we don’t have the fire power or skill.

This right here is why Gears 5 will be my last Gears game.
Unless they can fix this hot mess, I’m done with the franchise for good.

One speculation of mine is that the ToD and the totem system has a part in the games lack of fun. The focus on tactics, gaming experience and team effort has taken a step back since previous games and the main focus now seems to be the hunt for xp and leveling up. Just look at the names of the different lobbies; “xp farming”, “character level up” etc.

I’ve noticed this when playing Escape. 99% of the lobbies are The Surge/Clock farming Cards/XP or Beginner lobbies for people farming Medals/Totems. Only other ones are Master lobbies going for 1%.
It’s hard to find regular Escape matches when I’m by myself and I’m definitely not going into a public one. When one of my friends is on, we usually cycle through most of the hives as I like perfecting techniques and trying different characters.

I tried getting into escape but it’s like you said. Most lobbies are beginner playing for medals or it’s a masters speed run where you don’t even get to play. It’s just people rushing to the end and hitting the switch. I’m actually surprised TC hasn’t implemented some sort of mechanic to prevent this cause almost everyone is doing it. There’s no reason not to if you can. It’s quick and rewards cards fast. They should put in something that actually forces us to go through the hive the way it was intended. I’m all for playing how you want but this is like Baird’s bleeding fences. It’s no fun.

This game just sucks top to bottom but this game is circling the drain there is no fixing it.
Escape was fun at first. But it became very repetitive very quickly, I think it’s mainly the lack of environmental options. I understand you’re in a mine, but every level basically looks and feels the exact same. Plus even on higher difficulties while it is more difficult and 1 mistake can end the game, but all it really does is increase the amount of enemies, make the enemies bullet sponges that do 1 shot 1 kill, and make ammo almost non-existent. And it essentially becomes a melee match that focuses on bleed damage to kill anything.
Plus I see no reason to even play any of the player created maps or create my own. As you get nothing from doing it. Nothing in those maps counts toward TOD or Daily Challenges, and you don’t gain any XP from it.
As for Horde, its a downgrade from Gears 4. I like that characters are limited on what they can build, but the limitations on what weapons they can buy I think is stupid. Any character should be able to buy any weapon. Also the perk system should never have been added, since people now hoard their power instead of putting into the fabricator to use on the perks, which I never notice any real difference from a perk at level 1 or if its at level 10. Plus them locking characters to a specific class and not allowing duplicates is pretty dumb, but I can kinda see why, since all Horde turns into after awhile is JD spamming GL Launchers.
The Taps are dumb and should never have been put it, I rarely see anyone ever use it unless it’s close to where they’ve decided to build the base.
And Jack is just pointless in Horde. He is a support character to heal and pick-up power and that’s it. Every single game i’ve been in where there was a Jack or I played as Jack, all I ever did was pick up weapons to smelt in the forge, revive people, or pick up power on the map, nothing else. He does no damage to enemies unless you’re on Beginner, goes down real quick when taking damage and can’t even crawl (burst hop with his engine maybe? or maybe use his healing/zapper prods to drag himself?) and he doesn’t even have his other abilities from Campaign. Since he can’t equip or even swap weapons, you should be able to swap out what skill is used with Y with the d-pad and they should all have their own separate recharge times. Plus why is it the Jack is the only on who can’t access the stupid taps? TC couldn’t but a Jack panel on them, but they can put a Jack panel on the Forge map so he can ignite the furnace? Or at least make Jack similar to the Sentinels or Guardians in horde, let him equip a weapon underneath. Have it tether it like he would to pick it up to bring back but if you hit a different button, he drags the tether in and equips it. Don’t let him pick up ammo boxes, to refill the weapon, he can just use whatever ammo is in the gun when he picks it up, especially since he can put them on and take them off of weapons lockers.
Also I am a little mad you can’t put grenades or pistols on the weapon lockers, there were grenades on the weapons lockers during the dumb ■■■ Boot Camp you were forced to go through. So why not in Horde?

Agreed!
Lag is ridiculous causing too many issues… This game is f(%$&^*

The lag the last two nights has been off the charts. I’m playing on a 15-20ms ping and everything is happening as if I’m on a 300ms ping. The delays are worse than ever and sponging is at an all time high.
The bugs are what’s making this game lose its fun factor. I want to enjoy it but I’m tired of being cheated for no reason other than I am pinging low. It’s a shame any of us are here saying this but it’s a reality that everyone needs to come to terms with. This game isn’t made for you if you live in the United States.

I find the lack of fun is due to the horrible movement and weapon tunning in this game, and the lack of policing people who use modded content it just make wanna people quite because where is the fun in a game where its blatantly obvious that another player has an unfair advantage either due to mods or horrible programming/animation
