Very good - almost brilliant point.
The playing anyway is 100%
The breathing part I was getting excited, like "oh yeah, that’s awesome’ until I realized that we choose to play and put at least a minor amount of effort into it whereas we must breath or die and we can do it in our sleep.

Still - I do remember when we played for fun instead of achievements or cards or levels.
I keep on hoping that I’ll lock down enough skill levels that I can just focus on the fun, I was there when Gears 4 wrapped up and now I’ve got new legendary cards that aren’t going to work as well as the best of us until I’ve ran Surge 2000 times with Lizzie and Cog Gear.

So are these characters only avail using real money tomorrow

If so that’s the biggest joke in an anniversary gift iv ever seen

#43

No I’m assuming the base version of the characters are free

#44

I just hope it isnt as bad as the 13 year anniversary gift from the release of Gears 1. That was, not good.

You’d think TC would do some hyping.

The fact that they haven’t…well, that tells me what I need to know.

That, and this update that has just released horribly has me worried.

This update was delayed a week, it was supposed to come out last week but it failed Cert. My goodness.

Bugs that are supposed to be fixed in the patch that are still in the game, characters released in the store by mistake, a hive that tanks the frame rate of Xbox etc etc.

have they finally implemented the nerfs/buffs for PvE? curious.

#48

Also…

I suspect 1 map might be released on the anniversary (Sep 10th), anyone wanna guess which one?

:joy:

#49

Doesn’t seem like it, Fahz’ Ambush still says 130% at Level 5. Same goes for Rifle Feedback and the Cole skills.

Gridlock. That would be my best guess.

Unless we’re getting it for… what is it now, nearly 14 years of Gears?

:thinking:

anyone got an idea as to why PvE hasn’t been updated yet? pretty weird stuff.

If you recall Carmine brothers bundle (which released midway through OP3) had a trailer to go with it, yet these characters don’t :thinking:

I suspect the reason is that the trailer took place on Gridlock, and that they want to surprise us with it still :slight_smile:

kinda out there but my logic stands :sweat_smile:

Nov 7th (when Gears 1 came out) is possible too, so either one is my bet for when they finally release Gridlock into Gears 5.

#51

Because a whole host of things went wrong with the update which was why the characters supposed to be out in September are here now(tomorrow). Including the PvE patch stuff not coming into the game. TC is still looking into the things that went wrong and likely have no updates to provide, yet. I reckon when they do there’ll be a Twitter post or Sera informs us of it. Or maybe they’ll post it in the What’s Up. The latest update was this, nearly a day ago :

Not aware of anything else right now.

I wonder if TC was planning on a trailer in a couple of weeks but characters got leaked so that plan went in the trash. But maybe they’ll release a trailer tomorrow. Didn’t they release the trailer for operation 4 the day of the operation?:thinking:

#53

Official Gears forums on Twitter not updated?

Say it isn’t so.

#54

I sense sarcasm here. But @TC_Sera has been fairly active about this stuff and acknowledging it, so I think we can forgive this one. Maybe.

#55

I haven’t seen anything on the dud update or store mishap.

#56

Not even this?

But there hasn’t been a specific pointer for the update issues other than that things are being looked into that players mentioned.

#57

Ok. They acknowledged.

Missed that.

Were was the hype buildup?

#58

That was not around. If TC standards for hype building were anything to go by so far, they would have teased something a week beforehand and then released another teaser a day or two before this thing got out. I would unlikely have been very interested in it if this was all they were doing for 1 year of Gears 5. No playing Versus so Sraak is of little interest, and I don’t play as Sam or Minh.

But as we all know Tuesday happened and likely threw their plans to the wind so they came up with this on short notice.

#59

We agree.

#60

Nope. Marcus still has his Rifle Feedback card at the original OP4 levels

If we know TC, and we do, it will be patched at 3 in the morning on Sunday with no prior announcement.

I just want my Mac buff :disappointed_relieved:
