The Big Tuning Thread

God, give me the strength to survive this mess and live until the moment when the game again becomes what we love :cry:
Just a week ago we told them to stop jerking off tuning and get busy with content. Now there is no time for content, we need normal tuning back.

@TC_Sera What are TC feeling based on feedback? Are changes being considered / discussed?

TC has tried to make game as responsive as possible(i.e
Less input latency on series x) and now added more input delay of shot after wall cancelling and taking cover. WOW…

right!?

flashing the low input delay and amazing responsiveness of the next gen only to go out and do this to the game

for weeks, i dreaded the day of the new tuning implementation. i can at least say i had a blast from the moment i got the series x until doomsday. the game felt so good, better than any other iteration in franchise history

I think reasonable people will disagree about most of this stuff. It’s not really what I would ideally want but if there’s one thing I would get rid of immediately it’s the shooting delays.

I feel this… I’ve taken so many breaks on this game along with @GuiltyCrisis … done trying to adapt again for who knows what time, when 5 operations, over a year in, they are still beta testing this half finished game…

I had just gotten back on it for few days after over a month of not playing gears 5, was actually feeling pretty good, had some good games. Then I go in when they did the tuning… and felt like an astronaut all slowed down movements delay was too much.

Just went in to try and enjoy the game and couldn’t even do that, didn’t even care to try to finish tour or play another mode cause of it so I’m taking another break again… play something actually fun and innovative like dead space. Even tried gears 4 again other day just to be able to play this game again…

Not to mention, other modes feel lackluster to me rn wish they’d add mod support or map creation support I know there’s some really talented people in this community that just want have fun and be creative.

I really wanted to stick it out for TC especially when they got new people but it’s more of the same they don’t truly listen or have discussions they do what they think is best or want not what works for game or fan base.

They’ve done some good just feel like they water it down, they do something good maybe many things good then something bad right after that no one asked for or knew was coming and it tarnished and completely outweighs the good…

kinda knew this could happen when they announced they were beta testing/developer plays list testing again and ā€˜accidentally’ put it in actual ranked before. Like what’s the point of all these awesome new cosmetics, skins, maps, if I can’t even play on my favorite modes of fun parts of gears aren’t even there to cherish ?

Hope they have another ranked mode or bring back stacks in tdm by then, hate being limited to king, be nice if ranked was more of a grind again too this operation was too easy, I really miss tdm how it used to be and playing other modes even if it’s in events like arms race but no we just get escalation event after this tuning drop :confused:

I agree. But in my particular experience Gears of War 4 had a great system in place for determining someone’s skill level compared to what we are seeing here. For instance When I first really started to learn how to play GoW in 4. I first started out on horde then moved over to versus. I did not like it at first. A big reason was i was playing with friends who were all Oynx level players one of them should a been a Diamond he was that good. But because of that I was going against guys who are way way higher rank than me and just better. Getting smacked around wasn’t fun. Eventually I began playing by myself for a bit and I got in with a new group of guys who were just as new to gears as I was. I began to learn how to play after that. My skills developed and I got better. It’s just TC starts guys off in their placement matches by putting them in with high ranked guys and those guys get beat like a red headed step child. After two games their like ok this isn’t fun imma move on to something else. That is what is hurting this community as far as getting new players into the fanbase.

TC has straight up givin the core gears fanbase the middle finger by trying to be something their not. They tried so hard to be like Halo and Destiny and COD without realizing we can just go play those games. Gears requires true skills to play and there is a greater sense of achievement when you start getting good at those skills. They had a good formula in GoW4 there was skills involved they had a decent enough ranking system, tactics it was good. But its like they took everything they learned in four and said…

ā– ā– ā– ā–  IT WE’RE DOING IT LIVE!!!

Well, you wanted a Gears Of War 2 re-make… the new tuning sure makes you think you are playing Gear Of War 2 :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Amazing to see all the replies just by being away from the forums due to work, it’s like 100+ Replies more than yesterday and reading every single one is mostly negative…as it should be. Splendid.

I just really hope it’s changed back soon. The game can’t go any longer than even a month with this implemented. If they have any sense at all they’ll review this feedback and pull it like the black phantom store effort.

I thought you enjoyed this new tuning. (?)

its also crazy seeing all the locked threads complaining about this. damn near 50%at one point

remember to get on the dev stream today and spam Revert. the proponents of slower movement did it last time and apparently thats how you get changes made at TC

they even changed menu music from Gears 5 to Gears 2, they could’ve have in Audio settings where we can select whichever Gears soundtrack we’d like to hear in menus instead of switching it to Gears 2, doesn’t make sense for different updates have different music themse, Devs seem confused and just doing what they feel

I don’t get why we are going backwards. Last tuning was good the only thing that needed to be change was the air back A. I don’t understand why the excessive amount of tuning changes. Over the years gears started of slow and worked its way up to a more of a fast paste game. Just look at gears 3 for example where the community had millions playing it. It was also a way faster and smoothest gears then any other gears. Besides dealing with the retro n saw off. Start moving forward and not backwards for gears we are just going to lose more loyal gears players. Everyone complains about everything. Movement to fast or they can’t do a certain shot. Gears isn’t a game where you pick up and expect to be good. You have to play and learn the ropes. Now I feel like you guys are making the game for people who never played gears. Stop making the games to easy. Where is the skills from hardaim and strafing now gameplay is boring asf.

how does everyone love gears 3 yet want something completely different than it?

yep, i personally didnt mind the air back a but can definitely understand the need to nerf/remove it

…
and once again TC, another player with ā€œIt’s been a while since we’ve seenā€ on their post. this update is not anywhere near as popular as you think and your community is begging for you to listen.

there should be poll posted in forum about tuning speed and another one for 5v5 or 4v4, that’ll show really what people think

I don’t understand people act like they didn’t complain the last time they added a different tuning. Saying the exact same thing their saying now. Now that another tuning is out they are complaining as if the old one which they just complained about a couple months ago is perfect.

The people who asked the lancer for nerfs, who wanted to go through all the maps with only their gnasher or those who complained about the wallbounce are the ones who liked the new tunning, because for them it is already easier to kill because they only walk you, They are making the game easier for them and they are not making them improve in their own game, when I was losing with very tryhard people, I was angry because what they were doing I could not, but I tried to imitate it, that is, to improve, not to get stuck. And that is what Gears did throughout the years to improve in motion, wallbounce from Gears 2 and the impossible shots as the community tells them were discovered and left because it is Gears, all the changes at the gameplay level have been For those who want to continue living in past gears and do not want to evolve with the game, if they like a previous gears, go to that one to play, do not change a new gears. I only ask the entire studio to concentrate on making their game, not to listen to the real community, not to focus so much on the competitive one and if someone does not like something they have to get used to it and if they don’t want to get used to it, leave , because they are paying attention to people who come from old or new gears, than those of us who have followed this entire trajectory of the game together. What I do not understand because they barely made changes when in the whole year they had not made such a big change and yes, the wallbounce was a bit exaggerated, but they would only have slowed down a little and that’s it. But I will continue playing because it is my favorite franchise, only that it is not so pleasant anymore and I speak for several that we have to get used to the game by people who did not want to get used to what we already had. A greeting.

Kinda offtopic; but why is this thread not pinned? Especially with the amount of closed threads every hour.

This polls needs to be posted directly into the game.
