This Week in Gears: December 22nd - Jan 4th

TC just can’t help themselves.

They haven’t reduced the grind and refuse to be overly generous.

I gave up on reups. After 21 it moves so slow it feels like molasses.

Artificial grinds that feel like a punishment for playing a lot don’t extend a games life.

It slowly chokes people’s enjoyment and burns out those that try to complete the leveling.

re-ups next year

Well 2xp is the norm, so double xp is 4xp from original release. They did make it sound more confusing than it actually is!

nice however… 1500 iron for a single character skin… i wont forget that greed coalition… BUT THANK YOU FOR THE LAMBENT RETURN!!!

This nonsense again? Krampus is up for 10k coins, same with the moldy Grenadier. And they give you an entire week to earn these 10k if you don’t have them in your wallet.

Too bad it says the 22nd yet it isn’t there!!! Still no snowball fight. Just remove that from getting Marcus…here’s a character to use next year!! No point now 2 days before xmas.

Update happens in 1hour, like every tuesday before this one.

After 21??? Aaargh!! I’m on re-up 20 (level 50) and I swear it feels like I’ve been on this re-up for…ev…er :disappointed_relieved:

It was previously a reward. It should have high price if they are going to sell it. Besides, you will be able to get it free with coins.

And to no ones suprise: no bonus XP, there’s free boost days and that’s it. Merry Christmatsch to you as well, TC.

Oh I’m sure it’s been said but why the heck wouldn’t you just add the lambents as skins instead of new characters? Just to pad out the swarm/red side because it’s low compared to the COG/blue? Or to justify the sale of expensive new characters? And don’t tell me it’s to add new skins to lambent “characters.” They don’t have any other skins as characters. They are skins of characters. lol. Look at Lambent Raam. Isn’t his own character. Skin of RAAM. This doesn’t make sense. So we’re really gonna get very specific like “Lambent UIR Grenadier,” or “Lambent Cyclops Drone?” then. So that opens it up to Lambent versions of every skin? That doesn’t sound right. They’ve never done that in any Gears game.

Cripes, these people 🤦 I mean they specifically said 4xp, right??

I mean that’s not just a wording mistake…it’s a thorough description. So someone specifically said…“no don’t do that”. Right? Or am I missing something 🤷

And removed it an hour later, but yes.

Wait, the double XP is not happening anymore?

This was, literally, the only thing I was looking forward to, as I don’t see the point of Father Marcus this late in the holiday season. I’ve been waiting since Halloween to meaningfully work on some lower classes.
Perpetual disappointment for Christmas. Just what we all asked for.

Unbelievable. What a bunch of scumbags. Not even at this time of the year can they throw us a bone and help us re-up faster with 4X. Nope. I mean really, TC. It’s Christmas. CHRISTMAS. You can’t let us have nice things just this once?

Hmm… it seems it’s still the standard 2x XP - and just to be clear I have Boost, so there’s no change for me. I played a quick Escape run on The Surge and had 17,802 CXP, and now have 19552, which is basically the standard amount I normally get. The post-match screen also indicates that I got the standard extra 100% XP, which is normal for Boost users anyway.

I see what you did there.

Are we really going to be surprised this was either taken back last minute or screwed up (again)? The servers were kicking me out of matches earlier claiming I had “lost connection to the match” while still connected to the internet and having joined a previous lobby with that same host perfectly fine. Always happened after the lobby countdown finished as well so it probably looked like I was some donkey purposedly leaving after they started(when I wasn’t).

For me 2, I always get exactly 1750 cXP on Insane Surge with boost.

Still happening…

Happening to me every lobby I load into…whether it’s the Snowball VS, Frenzy, Jingle Juvies, or the Daily. 30 mins on and I haven’t been able to start any game. Gives me one of three different reasons each time…
