I’d put it down to Lockdowns over coronavirus if there is a sudden surge. Apparently Organisations concerned with domestic violence are seeing a spike in that too.

I do remember a couple of toxic people. One absolutely did their nut to find me off my face in the wee hours playing against bots when they entered the match. Such astounding drivel as if I’d been caught robbing a blind old Granny. Remember their GT to this day. Another sent PM after PM with “L”. Over and over and over. For minutes. Doesn’t too long but getting L, L, L every couple of seconds - it was a lot of messages. I can only think their life was a big fat L as they salivated over their amaaaazing couch-button-pressing skills,

the worst type of people to play with. I’m also 100% sure you “type” Gg not gg.

#33

What’s your point here?

#34

My point is that it’s usually the bottom of the barrel - randoms that type “gg”. No one cares.

#35

Well I say gg cause I’m a decent person and cause I want to.

If people don’t care it ain’t my problem

I met someone like that in a custom escape match today. Lol he cursed at me when I didn’t play his way. I didn’t horde ammo, marked things, I dunno. People are hot headed morons.

I love Gears and I’ve made some good Gears friends over the years, but Gears Of War is the most toxic community of randoms that I’ve ever come across in game. Most people weren’t too bad with trash talk in Gears 1 and 2, but Gears 3 and on forth had terrible randoms. People getting on their mics and referring the match, screeching, etc. It was worse than COD. It didn’t help that old Epic fueled the fire around that time too with making their forums a dictatorship. Any valid criticism was met with Epic talking down to the player and even banning tons of people. At least The Coalition aren’t that bad in that aspect. I didn’t really care when Rod left. When he faced criticism in Gears 4 and 5, he told the community to F off and play something else. That’s not a good way to do business.

From what I remember, Epic even would join in on flaming someone and congratulated those that agreed with them and flamed the person themselves.

This is not true

Any evidence?

It’s always the guy who went negative and got carried that says, “Ez”.

In game text has made it worse… I mean to be fair I wasn’t moving for five minutes, but you try typing “take the fecking Hill NOW!, it is called koth, not tdm” on your Xbox virtual keyboard using your pad! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Rod and some buddies were well into the trolling gears players on the forum during gears 2. Rod loved going on about how he was owning scrubs with the 2 piece he implemented.

Gears 3 saw them tone it down a tiny bit, and then for judgement it got so,so much worse.
They totally did enjoy trolling their fans

#47

Evidence?

#48

My IP bans for trolling Rod back with his own quotes?
I can’t exactly pop on the old forums and pull the stuff up, as they don’t exist anymore.

#49

I do remember a poll somewhere between Gears 2 launching and Gears 3 launching where someone asked two options “do you love Epic” and do you hate Epic" and Rod logged on to give Epic a hundred thousand votes (or something of that scale) and said that he loved Epic so much he voted multiple times.

I thought it was pretty funny.

That’s just an honest day’s work. I hope he used a macro. As for spreading toxicity that doesn’t seem to be the case.
