Wait what? WHY? I mean I know why its just something TC shouldn’t have caved on. I like that aspect of playing. Usually I would be shocked if I got in the 1% but it was a great challenge for me to do.
While the Gears GWFL was doable with multiple profiles on a single machine, I did not have a computer capable of doing it, so had to rely on others to show up to have enough people to even start and have the ranked matches count. But on the flip side, once you had enough people online, you could make a lot of progress for 2 people at a time on Rooftops.

I put my vote with u my friend and hope they will change the requirments to include all kills from all modes in the game, at the end versus is only part of the game not the whole game.

This thread is the equivalent of saying to a car dealer “hey, i have a low paying job and can’t afford your cars. What are you gonna do about it???”
Don’t quit my friend,I’m old with grey beard/greying sadly,I too agree that the new achievements are way too much,If only TC could implement theses harder achievements in horde this would help a lot,I’ve no idea if they could,

Well the answer is simple then, TC will change whatever is needed to cater to PvP players. I was perfectly fine not earning Onyx or Master skins because I know I can’t get that high. I was also proud of my Escape skins for being in the top 1% (now 5%). But enough PvP players complained and now all Escape does is reward more GC instead of skins. It’s also much easier for a PvP person to get a carry in a Hive than it is for a random person to go into VS and do well.
Now, I acknowledge that the PvP population is probably significantly higher than the PvE population, so I get it. It’s just frustrating that TC locked those new achievements to VS only instead of being global. I mean, even Seriously 2.0 was global. I just feel like this was a pathetic and lazy batch of achievements for TC to push out. And TC specifically stated that they weren’t going to do more grindy achievements and yet here we are. So who knows what’s yet to come. At this rate, even though the Level 5 allies is gone, I think we can expect TC to add in a Reach level 50 and Reach level 10 Ally achievement because that’s the only thing that will keep players coming back.

I honestly don’t know why I keep going because I don’t have Sybarite in Judgement.
But as far as these new Gears 5 ones go, I agree they are probably unnecessarily high, but they aren’t completely unobtainable either.
People just need to get over the fact that they won’t complete this DLC a week or two after it launched.

Achievements are dumb.
Pretty confident that these achievements won’t keep player numbers in ranked and versus artificially higher because most achievement hunters are going to be in Co-Op vs AI and custom games.
On another note, I can’t believe how much grief I have been getting from other players in ranked whilst I try to get to Silver. Yes I know I’m awful at it, but I need that pointless digital counter to go up some numbers and to get the 2000 Gears Coins is going to take me at least 25-30 games.

I feel you there. I’m a decent PvP player, depending on the mode, even made it to Gold 1 on Gears 4 one season. But Gears 5 really drove me away from PvP. I’ll grind to get my Silver achievement, but yea the toxicity at the beginning is going to drive a lot of players away.
I remember doing my 5 placement matches in Gears 4 one season and a diamond started messaging me about being trash. I was unranked at the time (obviously) on a team with 2 diamonds going against a team of 3 Diamonds and 2 Onyx. Yea, like I’m going to get MVP in that match. I did well enough in other placement matches, but that one just sucked.

I don’t know. As someone who does hardly Achievement-Hunting because i’m one of this Folks who prefer to simply enjoy the Games they way they want so when i unlock Achievemnts they’re rather naturally unlocked (and i’ve to admit Microsoft had with Xbox One a pretty cool appreach, unlike my PS4 Trophies i really check them out regularly due i love it to use them as new Wallpapers, though for Third-Party Games they hardly use it and throw in generic Achievement-Wallpapers / Arts), so for me personally i don’t mind if there are Games which have “easier” or “less” Time-Consuming, i still don’t get this critique because like @GnashtyGiraffe pointed out so well, this are Achievements and not Participation Trophies. They’re kinda meant and exist to be something like Bragging rights, and something to work for or get skilled enough, and suggestion they should lower it kinda kills it.
I kinda would’ve understood if Achievements would have some way tied to ingame rewards(if there are any, than i’m sorry, i simply didn’t encounter them yet). Like the “old days” of Halo, where you unlocked Armor via Achievements. If that would’ve be the case, that Skins and Stuff would be bound to Achievements and you can only unlock them that way, i’d kinda share your critique, due i’m not fond of this type of Progression / Unlockingsystem. (Though that’s a different topic, so i won’t go into detail)
However to be bothered by Achievements itself to hard and time-consuming is kinda wonky.
That’s something which i experience IRL, with my older Brother and his Friends, but also nowdays this shows already with my Friends to a certain dagree, but i’d argue many of them who critisize such stuff simply gets older and don’t have enough time anymore, but also don’t miss out stuff from the good ol days like this case. Maybe i’m wrong in case of OP, who knows, but from my sorroundings the biggest casual players which i encountered which complain about time-consuming (/or skillbased stuff) are the ones which in their youngers days have enough time (and skill) to grind the ■■■■ out of it, but now don’t have enough time anymore. (due Familys, Kids and stuff)… And they rather want to mess up with the experience for new generations instead of looking at themself and maybe learn to understandt they grew out of this times, and either should accept it or move on to a game which is more tinkered around their needs. (There are more than enough casual Games).

[/quote] If you mean by greif like toxic people PM you for performing bad or something like that, was it ever differently? I remember the so called “golden Days” of ingame-voice-chat before Party-Chat was introduced / popular / industry-standart, and toxicity and griefing was part of Gaming since the beginning. I mean i can say for myself that i was lucky enough to hardly be target or center of this attention, for one part that i pick up my MP-PvP Games very carefully (and prefered since early on to play mostly with friends) and for most Games which i play PvP MP i don’t perform that bad(though i wouldn’t see myself as a really good or pro player either) to lead this to happen. But even if you’re only a bystander it’s quite annoying and bothersome to 've to deal with all of this kids and immature adults, who feel the neccissity to be toxic about everything. Heck it even bothers me already when my friends do that stuff with randoms. (the latest Modern Warfare was in that regard pretty problematic because i’ve had a few friends which had nothing better to do than insult randoms which don’t perform that well -.-) I mean okay, if we’re sitting discord or party chat and they rant about stuff or players, that’s okay, but to fully fight with them via text or voice-chat or even PM is like really annyoing. TBH i’m one of this folks who really don’t miss this so called “golden age of online-gaming” which some folks keep going at. I’ve seen the worst side of the Gaming-Community to know that i’m already to old (with 29 years) to deal with the bs. Now imaging that mixing with the modern Hyper-Active Fortnite Gamer-Generation… sigh
But anyway, even with that said above i also have to point out, if we talk about solely Ranked or Competitive modes, I’ve to add this is a way more complex topic and for one part i even understand the frustration of certain toxic Ranked Players, because this are folks which seriously want to perform, get better and raise in the rankings, and if there are people who don’t take this seriously and only do it for rewards or whatever, and with that kind of attitude drag the gameperformance down and keep them losing. My Problem often is that it doesn’t stops there.
Worry about the removal of your favorite mode, not acheivements.

No never would be only a big mistake to end gears of war story. The universe is so big that many games and stories could be made and told.
I can imagine for example new Gears games like the many comics that have been released telling many stand alone stories. The universe is endless!

This is coming from someone who has 90-100% of the achievements in most the games I’ve played.
Forget about update achievements And you’ll make enjoying games so much easier.
Ever since games have been able to add achievements with updates I have only fallen farther and farther behind “1000ing” a game because you’re constantly going to 1 or 2 year old games still getting content updates and adding these types of achievements as though it’s the only game I’ve played the past couple years or will play for the next couple.
Achievements lost their glamour for me when they started getting released like rabbits reproduce. It USED to mean something when you could actually quickly go to someone’s profile before a game and see their scores and quickly see the score for the game you were playing and the past few games they played. And games only gave at max 1750GS and that was with at least 3 dlc packs that forced the achievements to be tied to the dlc, not extended grinds that make you stick around despite the want to play fading or gone.
yep
funny, the coalition is getting spanked by the original makers of this game and have resorted to ripping them off to stay afloat… i wouldn’t be surprised if they were actually collaborating behind closed doors
holy crap im 11% done on the make em bleed achievement. I am so going for this. As cole would say “Lets do this” and a good aul “wooooo”
I’m definitely an old gamer, but to each his own op I feel your pain, but realize at the same time the world is changing around you. If you are as old as you say you are digital bling should not be one of your priorities, play the game for the love of the game. I for one am super stoked they brought guardian back! But was perfectly happy playing gears 4 guardian because I love the game, especially that mode. And you need to reword your title because this definitely will not be the last gears.
Long live Guardian!!!
