Given the forums have been pretty consistent with the feedback you have given I wouldn’t be surprised if these points do get addressed in the near future.
I think currently fixing the critical bugs would be TC’s main focus on an immediate level though.
Well if Oculus is addressing individual concerns via Twitter and is the best way to get in touch dont you think it’d be best to stop individual responses and take a second for a general post on Twitter? Seems odd but ok. Thanks for your time.
No worries 
and yeah, its a fairly common criticism that TC is more active on twitter than on here. Twitter does have a much bigger userbase so I get that, but my preference would be for TC to be more active on here.
Reading your post makes it seem like you think you speak for everyone but you most certainly don’t speak for me and this forum doesn’t speak for the Gears community.
The best thing any developer can do is ignore the vocal minority because you’ll never make them happy.
How are they suppose to decide who the vocal minority is though?
Every schmuck on the internet who’s game is being criticized by fans (majority or minority) always claims it’s the minority. There isn’t a single person I’ve talked to that has more positive things to say about this game. More people are definitely on the disappointed side of things with this one. Not even a “can’t please em all” situation either. It’s a, “we didn’t know what we were making” situation.
Not true. It is possible to get to General rank with 4/5 hours of playtime a week.
If 4/5 hours a week is gross then I don’t know what is good.
I do agree with most other things though.
I dont have Twitter so I’m gonna piggyback on this thread my thoughts.
I made a thread and post here This game is as bad as judgment if not worse
I’m gonna update my thoughts after playing over the weekend about 10 hours of pure mp. I’m saving campaign for my son and I so I wont talk about that still.
Where do we begin?
Good omen…more than a handful of times I got shot and I couldnt see my attacker. Literally got shot from the right, screen on the right turns red and I cant see so I die.
That’s an issue. Old gears I could see and maybe get out of it. Now I’m red and just dead.
Weapons:
Shotgun. Its powerful but its typical gears. Sometimes you play like a diamond and other times you play like a bronze. Fire off an active 99% and instead of gibbing the person while they gib me.
Lancer. I mean the kick is still bad but g4 lancer was better. It’s not that powerful. It feels powerful because of the maps you created. Think mercy. An open map where hammerbursts and lancer command. All your maps are like this.
Torque. It’s fine
Boom…weak and worthless. I watched a teammate boom a guy at his feet and he just rolled through like he was the koolaid man…I’d look into it.
Claw. Strong…strong kick…I dont have an issue.
Boltok. G4 was better. This feels weird.
Hammer claw staff. Shouldnt be in mp at all. Horde and escape makes sense. Not for mp. Too powerful.
Sniper. See boltok.
Rl lancer. It’s fine. Makes sense. Dont touch it.
Hammerburst. Where is it? Arcade doesnt count.
Enforcer. I dont use it.
Embar. Always hated it.
That gorgon pistol is nasty. But the kick helps.
Marzka is fairly strong not sure on this one.
Smokes.fine. frags. Fine. Flame drags. Fine.
Flash bangs…an issue…make a pick up weapon.
Mp maps. Well vasgur stinks. Bunker is fun. Ice bound is alright. District is campy. Exhibit is better than vasgur. Training grounds are training grounds. The issue is all of them can be campy and a lancer fest if done right. Dont get me wrong. All gear maps can be like that. Even raven down. But these 7 maps are more than normal. You should consider that if you make any new maps. You need something like a new canals.
Mp in general. It’s alright. You still have a lot of issues to tweak. Foot steps need to be adjusted. We play on exhibit and people up top sound the same as people next to me. It should be more muffled if they are on another level.
Banners are fine. Blood splatters? I dont have time to look at that. That wasnt a good idea, and I’d consider just phasing them out. Skins…well they are there but they are limited. It shouldnt have been. We should of had more to play with at the start. You can make an infinite number of skins. So dont be cheap with them. People will still spend money on what they want. You give me a green weapon pack I’d buy it. If it’s like liquid green or the Vegas pack.
Characters…should of had a few more…even some old ones. People like playing with what they like. 12 seems like a good number for each side. Maybe 15. You have what…at least 30 skins you can add to this game from past games? At least the ideas of them. Think about it. Dont make people wait.
I’m not playing horde or escape so i dont care.
I have to go punch out and go home but overall the game is ok…its too bare bones for my tastes… your end game content is eh. I get it. You want people to play a long time…but I think you got clouded by that idea that you nees to stretch this out for too long.
You went to the other extreme for no reason with skins and such.
Good post and I agree with most of your weapon comments.
The omen definitely needs a patch. I’d even take an omen health circle in the bottom or top corner at this point.
I like all of the maps except Asylum which I’m assuming you left off because it’s so bad. However, they need to release the Gears 4 maps that can only be used privately into public.
I’ve seen the good suggestion of seeing blood splatters on the death screen instead of on the floor.
They have more Cog than swarm because of the Horde/escape modes but I agree that they have missed a large amount of characters that i’m assuming they will sell at a later date on the store.
Hope you and your son enjoy the campaign
Honestly I just forgot about that map
They dont
Banners are effectively just the same things as emblems in Gears 4 except that they can only be seen at the end of a Versus match if you’re the MVP so they seem a little pointless… same goes for bloodsprays. Who has time to pay attention to them?
But saying no one wants emotes seems a little too far. I’ve seen or heard people use them, and they can be useful for communication or pointing things out. Some may not like or want them or just not use them, but there are people who do, like me. I just don’t understand why some people think they can speak for everyone, when they can’t. I just wish/hope TC can find a way to let us use more than four of them at the same time. There’s like 14 of them but only four can be used at a time.
I only intended to reply to this particular part of your post. For the rest, I didn’t have much to say.
Rip Luc got suspended 
An unexpected turn of events.
^^^ This is the best post in this thread.
true the only thing is for people like me who dont like or want to play horde or escape…its like being punished to have to play those modes lol its taking me a lil time on just vs ones.
You’re taking to the same people over and over misery loves company. This gears is the best yet and runs super smooth…
Yep, it is bad for those who don’t want to play those modes, I do admit that.
Well said imo. But TC doesn’t really care even if it was constructive. They listen to a select few from what I seen, and even then it’s ridiculous. Idk why they put these emotes or blood sprays smh such a waste of resources.
Do NOT listen TC… The lancer is NOT to strong
People just can’t get past their “Gnasher of War 4” playstile and get lancered for having bad situational awareness
