That’s just a straight bug, not a design choice.
And if it is, man it must be hard to read in Canada.
Indeed. Such a downgrade from Gears 4, which actually had a perfect customisation menu.
Having to go through multiple menus to change ONE weapon skin is such a chore.
Simplicity is key. Just another example of how TC don’t have a clue about game design. It’s no surprise Rod gave up, ran away and tried to forget Gears 5 happened.

I’m fairly certain tc has not once tested out the splitscreen functionality in the game. Lots of obvious problems that needs fixing. For example player 2 can’t reup, buy from the store or receive login bonuses. I’m tired of having to quit and restart the game with my gf’s account and then restart back to mine every time she reaches level 100 or wants to claim a login bonus.

What about an indicator to the player that you are currently speaking in voice chat? You have the scoreboard & speaker icon above your head but no indicator like how valve games do, that would insanely nice.
I think that option exists. Check the menus.

I find this weird because of:
So I don’t think it’s “They don’t have a clue,” as much as they probably rushed it or were uncaring about it.
Meh, point still stands. They clearly didn’t realise they actually had it right when they “played it safe” and actually made it 10x worse when they implemented their new and improved design…

That’s a very real and scary possibility actually.

Looks like #10 and #11 have been added. Thank you @the-coalition!
I can no longer edit the OP so I will keep bumping/start a new thread when appropriate.

I think another awesome thing would be is damage taken stat in horde! That would be really cool I think.
Having the ability to separate the melee button from “mantle while running”. In PVE the mantle is always preferences which is super annoying. Ryan mentioned at launch this preference was a bug, still isn’t fixed.

This can be annoying sometimes but it’s not game breaking. would be nice though if they did something about this though
It comes close to it for the way I play (especially with Cole). Insane that it hasn’t been fixed after 7 months.

Feel free to make a new one mate. Edited in my suggestion but its easier if a new one is created going forward.

For Escape: When someone enters your game and they appear in the pod they show…
- Player name
- Character picture
Additionally they should also add…
- Character level
Then when you host your own custom lobbies you can kick people that try to sneak in with their low level characters.

I’ve had a sudden thought of another QOL addition;
This is a basic edit (bottom picture is current game) but a way to see Active Reload Status in the center of the screen (Either a bar beneath the reticle as shown or by making the reticle blink like the ammo counter)
I’ve found recently, mainly for Horde/Escape I get screwed by the Active effect timer (I use a lot of Mac’s Bleeding Boltok ability) where the ability disables and I wasn’t made aware of it because there’s no clear indicator with the ammo in one corner and all the action in the center of the screen.

That is a bloody good idea mate.

“Menu option to toggle center-screen active reload/cooldown bar”
“Menu option to see what active reload bonuses each weapon has in pvp and pve (before skill cards)”

Ya that 2nd would be good too, cause you don’t know/remember a lot of times… like I don’t know what any of the new guns for 5 do while I’m only assuming the others repeat 4, except for Gnasher obviously. Like I remembered on 4 Drop’s active made it explode faster and also a slightly bigger blast radius. Torque allowed for an instant stick instead of bouncing off the enemy. Boom I think was slightly bigger blast radius, rest I think were mainly damage or fire rate.
GEARS 5 Quality of life IMPROVEMENTS:
-
change Lancer GL to FREEDOM LANCER = The community will appreciate the change.
-
Bring back all matte black skins into the store.
-
Add Mac dressed as " THE CAVEMAN " that would really rock.
