New ToD - did anyone notice the sneaky forcing of SPECIFIC PvP game play in generic medal groups?

Gears 5

There are two generic medal groups now ( I don’t remember the group names) where they force you to play very specific PvP modes! This was never a thing, and it sucks - because you can’t get those using coop (one is a double kill in 2v2, and the other is 15 kills as leader in guardian - ok, that maybe you do in coop, I don’t know if guardian is a coop thing)…

But this is crap! Specific modes belong in the versus or ranked medal groups… I don’t mind generic “in versus games” requirements, since that’s open to coop… But I find the inclusion of specific pvp mode requirements in generic medal groups to be extremely slimy…

I won’t be getting those GC rewards, since I have no interest in 2v2 or guardian…

Is Guardian still in Co-op Versus AI? I haven’t seen it pop up at all. I know it’s not as popular as KOTH, but still…

Ring-captures were never a thing?

Yes, it is.

They did it in Op 5 too… cause I remember the “kill 5 people in the ring in a single match” in a generic medal group. Last I checked there isn’t a ring to kill inside of in Horde or Escape

The 15 kills got changed to 35. I had to do a double take because it was 15 earlier in the day.

There’s 2 medals for that. One is 15, the other is 35.

I guess i should be more precise: nothing before which forced people to play against other humans, in a specific Pvp game modes. All the rings stuff you could do in coop, and had a choice of escalation if/when that was available…

Now you have to play 2v2 against human opponents, for a generic medal.

I don’t mean to be that person but you don’t have to play 2v2 if you don’t want to.

I do agree about the medals but at the end of the day it is a choice.

Well guardian was in last op and I had to do it without vs AI as I never got a game going there.
Meh since so random but survivable.

Only thing I find odd is the 2 vs 2 as it is only a ranked mode, why get people into ranked just for that ?
Getting people out of the comfort zone ? Ya that’s gonna work.
Unless theres is a 2vs2 event coming up, then I guess it’s okish.

I’ll just have to keep trying then. I’ve been joining and quitting Versus AI matches today searching for Guardian and haven’t seen it at all. Having said that, I only came across Dodgeball just the once, so I guess it’s just not a popular pick amongst most players so the majority of games are TDM and KOTH.

Well what is weird I do see Girdion sometimes in there and it never gets voted on but even for votes Guardian never comes up.
I’m starting to wonder if HerrKätzchen is imagining things :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve seen Gridiron a reasonable amount of times along with KOTH and TDM. Dodgeball I’ve only seen once since Op 6 started. I’ll just keep trying and feedback. It wouldn’t surprise me if TC took it out of rotation without telling us.

Get a full stack and keep searching for new Coop-lobbies. Eventually you’ll end up in Guardian. Think you also have a high chance of getting to vote for it if you finish TDM, but don’t quote me on this.

No its in there. Its just really hard to get it to appear. Shame we can’t just pick a mode to go into instead of the play and hope it appears.

Since that would make our live a lot easier, TC won’t give us that option. Everything must be a struggle.

Sure I went into guardian yesterday. I played 6 matches and not once was I the leader lol

That’s why I’ll never get these stars… same for 2x2 gnashers.I hate PVP and if getting stars in Guardian means searching/playing like 200 rounds for the RNG gods to make me the leader so I can get kills - forget it.

But you are only at Re-up 13.
I wonder how many Locust skins you have, LOL.

“Honor The Fallen” and “Ashes to Ashes”, not necessarily generic medal groups.
