I’m at 30% to level 20 only if I had 6 million coins to upgrade what I can
I’m never going to get there unless they help
Obviously 3,204 versus wins and obtaining seriously in January of this year isn’t hardcore enough for TC/Mediatonic?

They don’t really care how “loud” you are. Plenty of people voiced their opinion about how ridiculous the versus achievements for gears 5 are and they just said they are pretty easy to get and arent being changed
100,000 kills in vs legit would take probably 4-5 years of every second of my free time to get
Exactly.
Gears 1, 2, 3, Judgement, UE, and 4 are still playable. Even Gears 1 GFWL, 2 Japan, and UE Win10 are still playable. Granted some of those have since had achievements become unobtainable, but every single one had been up long enough to actually earn every achievement before support started to fade.
Pop on the otherhand, would have taken 3+ years to reasonably earn every achievement legitimately without spending thousands of dollars. Yet the servers are going to be turned off in about half that time, after barely 1.5 years.
I think this is the support page to raise a ticket

I don’t think TC is interested on helping players at least until Gears Tactics is out and maybe 1 month later (waiting for bugs and glitches). Or maybe as a gift for new year?
I hope that the help comes before new year.
I finally got 4 legendaries vs boxes this week, but now I have the problem that I can’t see any GT
And I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only one falling asleep playing this 
(Sorry, was the best that I can do with Giphy app on my phone)

No one can see anyone’s GT’s at the mo
It’s making the event very hard when trying to coordinate games with my clan.
I have to say Brumak goes very fast
If you both drop juvies and Reyna on the opposite side of the missiles on wave 1&2 those are done very fast.
Then just get the first few covers each side and drop Sid for the last one
I can’t play more than an hour at a time though and it still doesn’t seem to be going up fast enough

10 days ago I wrote the above.
I’ve been doing my best to play 1 hour of horde every day and get at least 10 vs wins and my omen box as well.
With approximately 2 hours per day every day for 10 days my position is now:
If I had 7,212,000 coins I would be player level 17 with 9166 XP. Which would be 31.77% complete.
So if I had the coins (I don’t, I currently have 600k coins) I would have made 1.5% progress with 68% to go. Which at that rate would mean I would need another 450 days of doing 2 hours a day AND (and this is the big one) to be gifted millions of coins.
So why am I still playing? It’s the hope that kills us @TC_Sera

Exactly. I know everyone’s exact position is different, but here’s my statistics:
Started playing on August 22,2019 (445 days ago)
Earned Seriously Pop! on October 20, 2019 (386 days ago)
Bought my way to War Chest 3 by buying Coin Fortunes on November 4,2019 (432 days ago)
That left me with only two achievements left in Pop after November 4, 2019: Pin-nacle 4 & Major (maxing out a pin and reaching player level 20).
After 445 days of playing Gears Pop, I have 5,001 VS wins and have accumulated 23,357,669 coins. I currently have 16 pins I could get to one level short of max. My closest pins to getting to max are:
Drone - Common, need 22,417 more duplicates
Deadeye - Rare, need 10,312 more duplicates
Reyna, Epic, need 1,498 more duplicates
Anya, Legendary, need 261 more duplicates
So after 445 days, I have 26.27% of the XP needed for player level 20, 28.68% of the coins needed to be able to upgrade enough pins to reach player level 20 and max a pin, and 76.67% of the pins needed to max my closest pin.
While I might be able to earn enough duplicate pins to max out one for Pin-nacle 4 in the next 168 days, there is no way I can earn the roughly 50,000,000 coins I would need to level up enough pins to reach player level 20 for the Major achievement in the next 168 days… especially considering that between earning and buying coins, I have only collected 23,357,669 in 445 days so far.
I’m continuing to grind horde thumpers, in the hope MediaTonic and/or TC does something to help everyone out. But it would be nice to know if that will occur, and if so, what it will be. That would help everyone know how much more grinding they’d need to do still, or if they’ll be close enough, or if even with adjustments if they’ll still fall short.

I think this is a really good summary of the problem.
You are much further forward than I am but still look like you will fall short of enough to get all the achievements.
I think if you ground out Brumak Horde for an hour a day for the rest of the game you would certainly get upgrade one pin to level 20.
But actually you’ve just made me more depressed about my situation!
Honestly if they came out and said they had reviewed it and decided they were going to do nothing I would just delete the game now.

I’m just close enough that, if that were to occur, I’d grind to get a pin maxed, then delete. No way to reach max player level now, unless adjustments are made by someone

Did you track every coin that you earned or there is some info in-game?
I’m now level 16 with 9.000 XP, I have 3 common pins at level 17 and 6.500 Crystals, waiting if TC puts a super-mega-goodbye box or something similar someday…
I was just looking at my pins
My Drone, Longshot and Grenadier are around the same area in terms of pins - although I have not actually upgraded my longshot past level 14 I can get it to 17.
So 3 bronze pins at level 17. I worked out that if I can get 310 pins of any of those every day until closure I will have enough pins. No idea about coins - that seems too much to actually work out. And I kind of hope that the amount of hoarding that the above would require would get me the coins. (It probably wont!)
I took the info posted by folks who paid to reach player level 20 to make a tracker for each pin type and player level in Excel. Hopefully this is legible enough:
NOTE: the “Needed” row is how many more duplicates I would need to get to max-1, since it is possible to reach player level 20 without maxing out a single pin, but would require all pins to be 1 level short of max.

It takes a total of 2,019,692 coins to level a Common/bronze pin from 1 to 20. If you already have a Common pin at level 17, you would only need 1,610,000 coins to level it up to 20.
Since the update to boost daily/solo and weekly/crew bounties to coins only, you could get 4,027,500 coins from doing every daily and 1.125,000 coins for doing every crew bounty. That combines to be 5,152,500 coins for doing every bounty up until the bitter end. That would actually be enough to fully level at least 2 pins, assuming you get enough duplicates by the time the servers go down.
I have a question for the players who finished this on the first months:
Did you need to level up every pin to maxed to reach level 20?
I was just wondering the struggle to level up legendaries, on the other hand they were less pins so it was more easy to get duplicates, but anyway.
No, but it’s a more complicated no.
Back in the day, the RNG was brutal because there were far fewer pins. I only popped level 20 once the Sam et al. pins dropped in the game, because I had stopped buying the packs due to getting nothing but duplicates of pins I had already maxed out, and therefore getting no XP for my money.
Someone buying their way to completion “today,” meaning before the mtx’s were disabled, would have spent far less money than me due to the increase in pin count in the game.

When Pop launched, there were fewer pins, so less variation in pins received. But as additional pins were added, additional arenas were also added. As arenas were added, the pins given for the top arena and the leagues also increased.
You’d get way more pins per 2,250 crystal pack now. But you also have a much wider selection of pins to receive. Makes it harder to max a pin, but easier to reach max player level.

Given the Horde changes, I actually think it is easier to get a common to level 20 compared with before.

I would probably agree with that.
Brumak takes about 3 minutes with loading times and generally gives around 120-180 bronze pins.
Only problem is there are 19 bronze pins. Literally every time I play it I’m hoping I’ll get the same one rather than a mixture.
At this point my drone, long shot and grenadier have around 4000 duplicates and are level 17.
