Gears 5
#85

Nerfing the movement and slide speed is exactly what this game needed - now you actually have to put thought into playing the game the right way.

I will say that I would suggest removing the shot delay when sliding into and firing over cover. Also, increase the strafe speed and decrease gib range (mitigate ‘bot walking’).

Otherwise, the beta tuning is excellent.

Where are these settings available to play right now? Thanksgibbing?

So much positivity about this insanely slow movement. You do realise by supporting it you’ll sign this games death warrant for the majority?

You’ll all soon know all about it when it’s applied and you change your mind.

Movement is too slow. If you reduce it even further I’m out. Too much change with gameplay for some unknown internal polling.

Hi!

To me it is - okeyish? , it sort of remembers the classic Gears although it is cool to see the air back A is nerfed along with the Up A, (although Up A was easy to counterattack tho) i would just suggest to increase a bit the speed of weapon swap.

It might be worth to pay attention to the reaction of the people when it was implemented accidentally at the beginning of the operation,it is still quite 50/50 kind of, from streamers, content creators and pro players. I can understand why.

I guess it is just matter of the actual gaming trend, fast pace gaming is a common standard, with the actual 4v4 in certain maps the matches are too long and with the new update could be quite longer too (it is hard to measure in the dev playlist as it is casual)
If i am honest i like the current tuning i would add the nerf to the Up A’s and Back A’s

Some people say it feels like gears 2…good…but also gaming has change.

It is also another learning curve, so be careful

Maybe this could be a competetive tuning?

man, i feel like doomsday is upon us. i got the series x a few days ago and the game feels perfect. it might be the best ever version of gears gameplay in my opinion.

i have always complained about feeing sluggish and unresponsive at times but it hasn’t felt like that at all since i got the new console.

and now TC is going to take this away from us.

We didn’t buy 120hz monitors, new console and whatnot to play a slower game.

i watched Avexys’ feedback video and he is like the only person who understands that this isn’t one sided…

I just don’t see the general population of the game liking this new tuning as much as the “talking heads” and i feel like TC doesn’t know this.

Go to a custom match and set it to dev tuning. The dev tuning playlist will be back to replace thankgibbing on Tuesday

#92

Yeah, i wonder where the info is get, i think generally the people liked the tuning of mid op 4, for me it is good cause is a bit more comfortable when switching games.
i have not seen too many streamers or content creators playing the beta… Then who is giving feedback?
Yet, when at the beginning at op5 when it was deployed accidentally ppl complain of the new tuning hmmmm

I hope that the changes in the movement and the gnasher do not arrive, the movement is super slow and the gnasher is much more inconsistent than the current one, the truth is I do not understand why every so often the tunings are changing

Hi, today I played the 09/12/20 beta tuning and when I played it I noticed that with this beta the game became boring and repetitive. In the following points I will say why you should NOT put these changes to the multiplayer gears

  1. The change of weapons is very slow and you have to remember that Gears lovers like that adrenaline rush of switching between a Lancer and Gnasher. Although with this change the game will fall on the campers and the players will not leave a cover for fear that by changing a weapon they will sell an enemy and kill them
  2. Since they made the decision to lower the damage of the lancer now it has become useless and with this Beta Tuning it is a lancer that with half a cartridge of bullets kills an enemy. The lancer is fundamental in Gears because there are players that although they play in a direct and aggressive way, there are players that prefer to play as support and with this beta tuning the lancer is more insertable than ever, this is Gears of war and it is not Gears of Gnasher
  3. The speed in Beta tuning feels like a Gears Anniversary and it gets boring

RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE THE GAME

  1. (In this one it will be spoken the damage and the cadence of the lancer) In
    gow 4 when emptying the magazine is 4.25 sec and the damage when killing an enemy is 11 bullets
    Gow5 When emptying the magazine is 4.62 sec and the damage when killing an enemy is 13 bullets
    Gow5 beta tuning When emptying the magazine is 4.62 and the damage when killing an enemy is 16 bullets
    While in Gow 5 and Gow 4 the difference in killing an enemy is not much, the cadence of the gun does make a difference since it takes time for the bullets to leave the barrel of the spear.
  2. We want a shotgun that doesn’t make 99% when we shoot the enemy right in the face, we want a gnasher like the one in Gow 4 THIS WILL MAKE THE COMMUNITY HAPPY
  3. When launching into a cover it is very slow and this is understood that the change was made by the new players, but it is time for the new players to get used to increasing the speed
  4. PLEASE do not increase the time to switch between weapons is too slow and as mentioned above this will encourage the camper
  5. 5V5 in King of the Hill, this is necessary because being 4v4 and a player is out of the game there is a huge difference between the players being 5v5 will increase the speed of the game and fluidity

I have noticed these changes in the community because I am part of several Facebook groups and in reddit they also talk about these changes and I would like you to take into account these points because the Gears saga has been in my life since I played the first Gears, and these changes will benefit Gow 5 a lot

I see u put effort into these ideas but they will fall on deaf ears tc doesn’t care about anything that goes against what they like this is constructive feedback but they won’t even consider it they said in their most recent stream “from what we see everyone is enjoying the beta tuning” which is clearly lies because post like this are happening there is a large amount of the fanbase who don’t like the tuning probably more that don’t than do but they don’t care enough to reevaluate it

I’m totally against a slower delayed gears of War. Slowing down movement and adding delays to shooting and weapon is going to discourage players from using and just rely on hard aiming. I hated gears 2 online for that reason. No movement just sit there and active hard aim

#98

Up-a still worked when I tried it. It just has a lag from the cover deceleration that makes the timing kinda funky. And it gives more time for an opponent to react which has its pros and cons.

I’m not a fan though of artificially inducing limitations on players to lower the skill gap. It’s just going to frustrate more players by restricting their movement. It’s not like skilled players had more freedom of movement, they just had it mastered better. And keeping faster/cleaner movement will give newer players something to grow into if they stick with it.

With the beta tuning, as people get better they’ll run into that ceiling and frustration will ensue because they can’t quite react as fast as they should be able to. That will probably open it’s own can of worms like it has with many players that have played gears for years.

I played the beta a week ago to be exact it was 12/2/20, I think I could adapt to those changes but I don’t disagree with the speed at which you stick to a cover and the response time of when you make moves like The reactions. shot, and it bothers me very much that in this list of developers The Air back A cannot be done, I think this decision to remove The Air back A will affect players who constantly use this move, I think I can adapt to everything added to the developer list, except as mentioned. I hope they do not eliminate this type of movement or shooting

#100

Please just remove delays TC. Let players have control over what they’re doing. Back As sometimes dont work, you can’t shoot off cover. I think minimize the time it takes to do things like switching weapons and even jumping over cover the classic way. I like the movement changes and the slightly weaker Lancer, but still too many delays and too much time to switch weapons and jump over cover.

What sort of fools put delays in shooters anyway? No freedom to play how you want as we will be forced to hard-aim and camp more often. If you’re ■■■■ get better, practise, I know I had to & I enjoyed the journey to get at least half decent at gears. (Still get bodied now and again but that’s GOW :rofl:)

TC should most definitely not be penalising good players who enjoy the swift movement with the noob catering slower speed & shot delays, a large percentage of the core players will possibly just leave in frustration and then what you got? Few game-passers who come and go daily.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again what they should do with the movement is absolutely nothing, it’s perfectly fine at the moment. Focus on more important things, tweak the weapons if you want to but at least leave the core movement alone.

Just got onto the Dev Playlist for the first time this weekend since it dropped. It is noticeably slower - If that’s good or bad remains to be seen - but everyone will just get used to it.

Nerfing Up-A, Back A, Air Back A is probably a good thing… i guess. But the real problem is the start-up frames during a shot when just even standing still - Why is there a 40+ frame (?) start up? The “A” techniques had no delay in comparison which is what was causing the problems. Removing the delay off of ‘stand-still’ shots would have been a better idea.

Here’s a list of things that should actually be fixed with the game:

  1. People shooting me while they’re still at the end of a jump animation,
  2. Chainsawing people from 2-3m away.
  3. Shooting on target but no hit indicators.
  4. Sliding behind cover but still getting hit as if i’m in the open.
  5. The massive extended delay when shooting while in cover.
  6. Slide not being registered even though I’m right in front of cover.
  7. RXN shot should be removed.

Does the beta tuning come next week to all other modes?

#104

I can no longer take this. I have not played ranked in 2-3 weeks because of the current tuning. I think that the current tuning is simply not good compared to the beta tuning. The beta tuning has been sitting in that social playlist for weeks now. I heard that it was coming early this year (2021) and I hoped that meant this week. But today in the “TWIG” there was no mention of the tuning at all. I think that it is a disgrace to the community to leave the beta tuning out to dry for weeks. TC literally let pros play a major (for money) on the tuning. What are you waiting for? You wonder why the game does so poorly and is so unpopular then you people do this. I think the whole strategy of leaving everyone in the dark sucks. It makes people not excited for anything (CAUSE THERE IS NOTHING TO GET EXCITED ABOUT). Please have the tuning brought into the game next week. If not then I am not sure what to say. Thanks.
