I think TC was high when they messed with escalation
Hahahhaha. I think in some sense it makes it more strategic.
But it would be nice if there was an option for the Gears 4 escalation.

I spent most of my time in KOTH and 2v2. I dont see that changing unless they add Wingman.

Something definitely needs to be addressed about quitters and not just banning them for X amount of minutes each time.
With the tec test 80% of my games there was at least a quitter or afk person on my side. If join in progress isn’t an option, could a system be put in place where the game checks how many players are on each side at the end of the match and if one side has less than the other then the team with less players don’t loose any rank xp?
This would make loosing ranked games because you have less players far less frustrating and more fair.

Just keep in mind that during the tech test people were losing match connections left and right. And people with 10 series GPU’s were trying to play this game. But that being said Gears still has a major quitter issue. I think maybe a reward for staying would work better than a matchmaking penalty.
Oh I like this idea play so many games without quitting you get a skin of some kind if you quit you go to zero. You’re a genius this would work

Dude I havent laughed that hard in a long time in gears. We were like this dude legit hates raven down. It does always get voted in. 2nd round they started playing we were like wtf they figured out how to lancer. Strange match. Dont feel bad man. Every koth I played in 5 if you didnt win the first round 2 quit. I was bored pretty fast. You can win a 4 v 5 but it’s rare and hard. As someone stated before 2 of them have to be pretty bad too. I think they keep it out cause there would like never be a full game. Ranked is weird in gears. If you dont win that first round alot bounce to keep their onyx 25 rank or whatever. I always get a kick out of the lfgs be good or get screamed at and kicked. Then you’re playing that dude in a game later and smashing them. Anything for skins lol. I unplugged the xbox once by accident for the keyboard and some dude was taunting my team cant compete git gud on speyer. Joined back in and annihilated the guy. Sometimes the magic happens. He didnt have much to say by round 3.
I think they leave it out for numbers man. Would be nice though in a 3 v 5. You sit through enough of them and win 1 they should send octus out to wax your car and say thanks for putting up with it and giving us some population.
Yeah I know people were having issues with the connection to the Gears 5 servers and it didn’t bother me as it was a tec test so that’s all cool.
I agree, I feel the matchmaking penalty doesn’t do anything to prevent quitters. A reward for staying sounds good.
I just think it’s really unfair to loose rank when when people on your side quit and you are at a huge disadvantage.
As a solo Gears 4 player I’ve never managed to get past Onxy 2 on KOTH, highest I got was to 92% and then i had a run of 4 games of quitters and the rank dropped back down again.

Game supposed to be balanced, however its not.
Every single game A or B team has advantage.
Of course when players just get slaughtered and have few kills they quit, They dont want to be farmed while other team’s each players have 20-40 kills. Most players who quit in Gears 4 ranked, checked their Gt and just saw that they already playing other game. Actually game wont punish him, only you get punish, since u find yourself in disadvantage.
However TC never fix this. They release esport sh1tz instead balance the game, because u cant buy a new Ferrari from balancing.
Had tons of ranked games in Gears 4, 2 or 3 of us left in the game and enemy players started tbagging. Just somehow developers cant think about how toxic is the game community.
So I would say, give us surrender option. I dont like that either when enemy team’s missing 1-2 players, I dont enjoy that, since i know that situation.

That 2nd highlighted line might make some of you happy. I assume that means they’re willing to atleast consider it for the full release of the game, depending on feedback and results at the end of the Tech Test.

I like it, seems like a no-brainer to me.
I just don’t know if it will just be for first impressions here in the tech test, now that anyone with gold can play it or because it is just the tech test, and then the bot-backfilling will get pulled from the final game. If they are looking at it like a trial to gather feedback, I think they will be overwhelmed with positive response.
We’ll see how it plays out but for now it at least gives us some hope.

I’d love to hear that they’re still improving bot AI for the final game. I still say Overwatch’s simple solution is a good route to go. For now, this is better than nothing I guess.

Right…I am referring to how people with crap connections will have their back to you and body you just like the bots do.
IM STILL MAD ABOUT IT lol
Honestly it’s just about the fun for me and I don’t think that map is fun. Plus that was this weekend and on Friday we had a loss in the family (don’t want to get too personal here) so I was really just looking for a chance to de-stress and I’m stuck on that stupid map getting my sack-skin stretched over my eyeballs…just makes for a bad time.
All I want is to be able to surrender when there is a quitter. And to delete Raven Down (and Blood Drive and Security while we are at it) from gow servers. They were great maps way back when but luck donkey butts now, let’s move on people!
Yes! I’d hope they’d already thought of this for the full release. Totally makes sense. Love the idea of only the quitter getting a loss. It’s unfair to your record in such circumstances!
Maybe, to punish further, after quitting more than once in a day, you start to lose a rank every time you quit after that. Do it 5 times a day, the 6th will take 2 ranks off you, and so on and so on…
