The Big Tuning Thread

Gears 5
#1327

Cant imagine what these quality players really think behind the scenes.

There’s some players that enjoy it like Wicho & Icey but only because it has a gears 2 style.

But the games been out for a year why such a drastic change & for it to never come back?

Why not just have 2 tunings like in gears 4? Why not please everyone.

Maybe bring back ranked execution & ranked escalation & have the new tuning in those modes.

Since these UMG & pro players want to have a more “methodical” style of game play well have at it.

& us players who just want to have a fast fun experience are allowed to have that experience.

That way the tuning we mastered for over a year just doesn’t get trashed & go to waste.

Add both tunings to custom lobbies & let the players choose what they want.

Why is it that the higher ups in TC want to fracture an already small community?

make this tuning a toggle in Customs/LAN. isn’t that where the comp scene plays scrims and tournaments anyways?

seems like the better idea instead of dragging the rest of the community kicking and screaming down this road.

Anyone else find it odd that this new tuning has come out which from what I can tell most people including myself do not like and then the game is given away with Gold :thinking:

Sorry if others have pointed this out but this thread is massive

this makes it easy to point to a graph and say “Hey look, we’re doing just as good as before! Better even!”

I’m not sure how that is even handled though. MS might have had zero input from TC on when it planned on putting this on GWG

Surely MS would of at least sent a email to someone at TC to let them know the G5 was going Gold in a month or two so they could prepare for it :man_shrugging:

Otherwise it’s a piss-poor business model.

Definitely agree with the graph pointing statement.

I’m pretty accustomed to the new tuning now and it’s absolutely terrible. It’s pretty clear to me that TC has absolutely no idea what they’re doing with this franchise. This game has so much potential but has been a continuous disappointment for over a year. If I wasn’t an achievement hunter, this game would have been ditched a long time ago

No lie, I haven’t played it. I played the beta for awhile and had time with it when it was available there. That was enough for me. I have no desire to deal with the slow roadie run or lots of the other unnecessary changes.

Good luck Dana! Thanks for everything! Good luck with your new job!

Revert the tuning before you leave!

same. i can still very heavily (lol) feel that this is just not better than it was before. certainly not more enjoyable.

let’s go here, forget the details of the tuning. why in the world was this new tuning rolled out of beta?

At least now we can see if it was Dana’s doing for these radical changes or who it was…

If they give us separate tunings or revert it then we know Dana played a main role in the clunky tuning we have now…

If TC refuses then we know Dana was just a speaker with no real control…

Also with ranked modes as well… if the best we get is only king stacked & not TDM, Guardian (in ranked) then Dana was never to blame… & I will feel so bad if that’s the case because he seems like a jolly man.

But this will be eye opening the next few weeks to see what power Dana had if any…

I’m not sure if I’m able to get this reply “Marked as Solution”?

I discovered this trick that will rectify the stupid issue we’re all facing whereby our gun won’t fire in a shooting game.

The trick is simple, I won’t put myself in a position whereby I need the weapon to fire. I feel better already.

You’re welcome :slight_smile:

This is the solution. If we all stopped playing the game, TC would see the numbers and hopefully change things back. I just hit master in TDM to get my skins and now there’s nothing else to keep me invested in this game.

A few players uninstalling the game won’t change anything.

TC claimed that with the new tuning, the playerbase had increased substancially.

TC of course, refuses to provide us with the details, but all we can do is put our faith in them and hope that they are being transparent with us.

Unless this has changed within the past 2 weeks (I haven’t watched the past few streams), they actually said that the player count has remained level or increased slightly.

Substancially isn’t a word I have heard used.

And to me if the tuning hasn’t improved the fan base population much, it’s not exactly a successful one.

That to me just says the same players are sadly having to suck it up for the love of the game they can’t just leave. I know that’s me, I say I’m gonna uninstall until things change but I can’t :rofl:

Is their player base not low enough already for them to realize this game is ****** up? Lol. If like 100 people stopped playing that’s like 10% of their players.

First off, knowing “about or of TC” I know why Tc, wouldn’t want my last idea, since there’s only one complaint I see feasible,
even though I could also see how it could easily be overlooked since the complaint is about something I and alot of gears players wouldn’t care about, but then alot could too.

First heres the idea: (seperated into 2 paragraphs)
Make 2 tunings split with only one main difference, not the weapons and its recognizability. The speed of the movement; (which is unique to gears already)…

BUT THE FAST SPEED TUNING HAS EVERY BULLET ricochet and bounce of walls, except the shotgun itself.
While the slower speed tuning does not.

WHY I think this will solve TC’s concerns? Because I belive TC is concerned how the fast speed tuning may take away from every other gun except the shotgun, and as in their own words “have movement placing more consequential with each move you take” (paraphrase mine)
We need a fast and slow split tuning, that doesn’t make us worse at the either tuning with switching, and needs to feel like a gears game all around…

This is why if you want fast paced gears again, and if you like bullets or dislike bullets ricocheting, we must settle for this regardless. Because knowing TC, or “knowing of TC”, that is where this tuning falls on “death ears” so to speak. So I tried to communicate it in TC’s language. A language they’ll get or grab on to, or make them say “Now that’s what I’m talking about”.
