Medal stars missing /not showing since update

Gears 5
#12

50 past hives is changed to 50 acts, which doesn’t affect me that much because I’ve been grinding these with The Gauntlet, which is one act anyway.

The 50 hives one has been changed in a sense that when I was completing The Gauntlet repeatedly, no progress was registered for it, so I was assuming only current hive will add to the count. Now that it’s “any hive”, I’d expect completing the Gauntlet repeatedly would also add to the count, thus making progress and shortening the time needed for these two medals. Which is good.

Hopefully the stars for medals show up again. I didn’t want to play this morning when I saw that they were not showing (before I went to work).

The new map The Surge is the fastest. Ignore enemies and literally run to the end, 1-2 minutes tops. I’ve been speedrunning it since this morning and am halfway done with some escape medals.

Really wish they would have changed the Master 10 hives or Master 5 past hives medals. Either I suk or Master difficulty is hella hard.

That’s good to know.

They should patch to allow quick skip of that Escape introduction. :joy:

Master difficulty takes maxed out cards, bleed damage and lots of strategy, my team is missing gauntlet and descent now and were 6/10

Fairly sure that’s masking load times, so unlikely to happen, unfortunately.

Thanks for heads up on this

Good to know it still rewards the stars - But to have a bug like this where they don’t show is really pathetic after the amount of other issues thats wrong with the game.

Is it just me or does it feel like the game has been out for a year or longer with the severe lack of content and issues with the game? Feel like they need a huge turnaround on the game to keep people playing that arent GoW fans

The 50 Past Hives medal awarded 5 stars. The 50 Acts medal it was replaced with only gave me 3. I feel slightly cheated.

I’m sure it was intended to be this way to mask the stealth nerfs.

It’s probably just a glitch, I’m sure they’ll fix it

Im not sure ill have time to up my characters and cards to max before the end of operation 1. I certainly know i won’t be able to master a horde map. Hell im not even sure ill be able to master a horde map PERIOD as now it seem much less fun without all the stuff we had before (hammer strikes, sniper strikes, man turrets etc) The sentries seem much nerfed too. But the kicker is the whole “iron man rule”, like seriously?? On hardest difficulty? We barely did it on hardcore for the achievement on 4 with our cards pretty high. I don’t want to play 35 or 45 waves only to fail and having to restart it all… that sucks. Too long.

So i think ill miss on a few of the stuff given by the medals.

But im glad to learn that the medals still give stars, would had been really annoying if it wouldn’t have been the case.

Chaps made a point in one of his recent videos saying that you cannot help but feel TC are being sneaky and at times, feel like they’re trying to get one over on us slip things past us. This is one of those times. It’s so sly and underhanded to introduce stealth nerfs like this.

It’s kind of weird not seeing the stars, I wonder if it’s a bug or a feature? I want to see how many stars I get for medals. They also changed the graphics, didn’t they? Looks a bit more…ugly now imho.

It is a bug.

Some of you are just too much.

Abuse? You realize this is all optional content in two games already filled with a lot content (Yes, Gears 5 even in its current state does have a lot of content).

Listen, I get it, the store prices are overly inflated, but no one is forcing you to buy anything, not to mention they’ve already acknowledged the feedback and are actively making changes.

What else do you want? There is a difference between legitimate criticism and incessant whining/false accusations.

At the end of the day this is a business. This model has been around for a while and now it’s making its way into Gears. This is the current landscape of the gaming industry right now and there isn’t much we can do about it. All we can hope for is that TC acknowledges the feedback and does their best to find a middle ground, and it looks like that is what they are trying to do.

I had seven stars into a rank. Major II… did two “mini quests” of three points each and also the completion of “here to help” (jack assists medal). came from the Horde to find only six stars progressed. I don’t believe they grant stars since Oct 1st update.

#33

I did 49 and the 50th past hive only gave me 3 stars since the medal changed to acts instead of hives .

I totally agree, it sucks to have your efforts not matter, even though we can get the stars we lost through just another set of dailies.

Well, now wins in Versus Ranked are not properly registered.

2 wins in Guardian, Medal shows 1/10…

Same for Dailies, sometimes progression is not registered when you go back to menu after the completion notification.
