This Week In Gears - Dec 8th - 14th

Well I wasn’t saying Clayton didn’t deserve more skins I was just saying it should’ve been in the operation he was brought back in.

What’s intriguing is that according to their own patch notes, there are two new skins for Anya and one for Lahni that we have yet to see.

I wonder why they drip feed these new skins so slowly. Has TC ever given any specific reason for it? It feels like Gears 4 gave us new skins at a much more rapid pace, and recycled their store much less often. Is that just my memory being wrong or is Gears 5 that much different?

I wanted Anya, Dizzy and Tai to have new skins not old characters.

While the change to the medals with gridion makes sense.
I’m not sure if I like Guardian quickplay game jumping hoping I’ll be guardian and have decent teammates or Hardcore Vs Ai game jumping to find a Gridion.
Well actually I know I like it less lol, The rounds tend to be way too long I’ll give it 2 rounds if I’m not guardianed out
I’ll just jump again, there is no gain in staying.

I tried game jumping vs bots too, at least better chance to be guardian and who is on my team is irrelevant.
Seems I can’t find a guardian game even if I do wait out a games to vote for the next.
Is it not in the rotation and if not…could you add it ? Please ?

Oh well I’ll get my last 3 eventually, just a little rant.

As if there was need for more proof that TC hates money by keeping old CS vaulted.
The teaser advertises 500 Iron. Guess what the store is asking for atm: 250

Why no new/ featured CS I have no clue.
About clayton. To be fair that is in line with the other Hivebusters Skins which are also all “rare” and 250,
It rather looks to me the 500 is the error.

Best case scenario: they wanted to break their biweekly COG/Swarm pattern and we get CS Keegan with the launch of the HB-DLC.

But the last time there was no new CS they didn’t return for another 6-8 weeks. Which is probably what’s gonna happen again.

Kinda ironic now that the whole Esport-thing is about to start again and even gets promoted in the TWIGs.

I find it odd that there hasn’t been a larger push for their store with this whole Series X soft relaunch thing. They’d pulled back a lot of the player base with their new PvE changes, graphical updates, campaign additions and now the Hivebuster DLC, yet the store seems so… barren.

There has to be a reason for it.

TC loves their drip-feeding. So much that most of the returning players are probably already gone again.

Kestrel is THE man on Xbox live I’m telling you :sparkling_heart:

They are old characters.

Was the crashing in horde fixed with this update ?

I meant old as in previous op characters.

And I’m out.

This is by far the worst tuning and yet here we are with them deciding it’s best for the game to implement it.

More balanced my ■■■. If anything it’s a slower and less skillful tuning that tries to lower the skill gap between players.

“Get hands-on with our final, major tuning update before it fully goes live early in the new year. This tuning brings a more balanced experience to combat.”

And the game is now ruined.

Franchise just went back in time 15 years… To please whom?

Game is 48th of 50th most played game before hive update.
After free update for horde it went up the list to 28th out of 50th.
And a week later it drops back to 40th place.

See how far it drops after this.

Haha, this makes sense… I was looking at my medals last night thinking "wtf… I never play guardian how can i have kills as leader, " haha…

For those who are wanting to complete the featured hive and get a great amount of skill cards.

Yes imo this was a backward step. I only play pvai. And gridiron does come around and i was slowly building up denials. Guardian pretty much never comes up. And im not going to start playing pvp Guardian just for this. Is there a new game released tomorrow?

Lol, i finally found a use for gridiron, to get the “get last kill with an execution” medals… Being a koth player it was not possible to do that there, and tdm it was tough: play the whole round and hope ypur team mates wont kill the last down… And chainsawing someone doesnt count as an ezecution for that medal (but counts for daily execution tasks, haha, thats tc for you).

Gridirion was much better, was able to get my ezecution final kills… Guardian? Nope, never play it…
