What’s Up - October 7th 2019

Gears 5
#117

Ran it with 2 complete randos, I was mac, maxed adrenaline junkie, crazy tough, dodge, boltock, and bloody. Other were lahni and emile also at 18. Locked first 1 in second supply room, flash stun. First push let venom creep up for extra boltock damage. Saferoom. Ran straight up second part middle, repeated flash stun door lock. SLOWLY fought our way to end stretch killing everything. Only 1 hunter made it out, all 3 on board pick up.

I would like to note the emile and lahni I had played very smart and patient aggressive. Always together in the 3 pack, pick em up. They did not pick up blue ammo crates really, marked and left for me. No asking, just good players for boltock rage. We stopped in 2 rooms at the first half ammo wise. Saferoom has more for mac. The emile was really good. Soon as i hit a shot he was on it with bleed blade. The lahni was great support and multiple electroknife, 3 i believe. It is hard, it is designed for teamwork. None of that cheese run stuff.

Be patient and work together. Yes the lock it in supply room is crucial, but slow and steady wins the race to the landing zone. Let them push you and come out in open. The first half you are moving a bit till that u turn showdown bend.

Just everything going really good and everyone is on their A game. They were awesome escape players. Insanely good brawlers. I was very fortunate and lucky. You guys will be fine, it just takes some tries and good teamwork. You know how to play.

I have done all my master runs with randos btw. I love seeing what others do and know that I do not. Only one missing is the gauntlet. I’ll have to find a group for that one. I watch that guys videos after I complete one too btw. Although gauntlet will be the exception. I rather just trial and error. I’m weird lol.

All me and Ektope haven’t done is The Wanderer(but we plan on just locking the Scion away), and The Descent because of the venom constantly catching up and no visible or obvious way to speed things up or beat the Scions before the second safe room without the Boomshot for Keegan.

I honestly think gauntlet is harder. Probably still feeling out the map man. This here, that pops there. You guys will crush this one. I dont think keegan is absolutely necessary in this one.

#120

Gauntlet was easier… back when you could glitch Mac’s Barrier out so he could distract the Scions while everyone fired on the Bastions. Probably could do it without the glitch too but it made our lives easier. Especially with Stumps whose weapon never seems to overheat in Horde and Escape but does in Campaign.

Descent is just a pain. The one time we made it to the Scions with everyone alive, the stupid Drones just kept insta downing Keegan and the rest just took too long. Every other time we just didn’t get anything to work in our favor. The second Act is the stupidest part because you have hardly any time before the venom just comes and blocks your path off way too quickly.

Oh the shield glitch and two mac’s lol? Ahhhhh the fresh launch days lol. That stuff was funny. That was how I did my first one, two dudes spammed it. After that, had to go by the books.

#122

Was only one of us as Mac, the other Emile and me Keegan. Those Salvos are damn OP, and I loved it.

Salvo and tri shot are crazy in 5. We went through this in 4. Same guns. Things change. I loved the salvos too. OP asf

Does TC suffer from long term memory loss?
I guess they can’t remember…

The niles gnasher is a nice skin but the store as a whole had been terrible with the selections. I finally put my finger on what’s missing on the esport skins. The esport logo that looked great on most of the skins in g4. It just looks too plain without it.

So I’ve been very supportive of this game but selling a universal crying emote just 2-3 days after selling the Fahz specific crying emote for the SAME price is ridiculous and scummy, I personally want to be reimbursed for the fahz emote so I can have it for everyone instead.

Didn’t they say they were changing pricing? Lol 400 for one skin. What the actual hell. No. Way.

Won’t even buy that with my free iron.

I’m not sure what and when TC did something:

-I usually never take a look at the store because I need to press 2 buttons.
-Did they adjust the prices, does it reflect in the store?
-What were the last changes?

@TC_Octus
Playground Games does a good job by showing patch / update notes after the start of Forza Horizon 4. Everyone sees it.

They should just remove the flash then

Honestly, more triple-a devs should strive to be the level of quality as Horizan 4 is most ways.

#132

Cant even take that serious.

When Forza Horizon 4 was launched, it had gone backwards just like Gears 5 had.

It was missing a load of stuff/content, which was in previous games.

The online was also a mess when it was released.

Its an interesting pattern happening with supposedly AAA games and its not a good thing.

#133

Meh, I never played a Horizan before that, I suppose I’ll take your word on that. I was basing the measurement of quality on what’s there, not what isn’t.

#134

Great but where’s the combat/movement update?

Why do people start a ranked match and not play. They just sit there… 9 of 10 ranked matches at least 1 or 2 guys just sit there and don’t move. And it’s always on the team I’m with lol ■■■■■■

#136

Those flashbangs are extremly annoying. Especially the part where it makes players drop heavy weapons!!! If Scions don’t drop them, when they get flashbanged, why do Gears!? You really make ‘em look like Sissies :smirk:
