I actually like this change, first off 5m is very short range in gears, plus with the new reaper card it makes sense.

You gonna tell me my colorblast zombie UIR Chrome Steel Ultimate edition Baird is “irrelevant”?

I think restricting the way a card can be used is trash. No matter which way you cope with it.

I dont actually think there was as much work involved as people think, while yes there would be a fair bit of backend work with the decouple, overall I wouldnt think the effort would be huge, there where both pre-excisting systems for class selection and character selection, what would need to be done is combining them, I would expect just some renaming and changing how character selection works, instead of a class being picked based on your character, there will now be a seperate UI for selecting the class.
I think these nerfs were done with duplicate classes in mind. Having 2+ or more Inflitrator Kait classes with close-mid ranged bleed could be too powerful.

Cant argue with you there, however I think if it wasnt changed there would be complaints of people trying to get reaper to trigger but the bleed gets the kill because the enemy JUST survived a shot to the face.
Yes. What you look like being more important than what you are doing is a shallow concept in and of itself.

Also, can I just say how awful some of these names are?
Like why would you call Mac an “Anchor”? Like wtf does that even mean?
Okay so I’m a new player, I go into a lobby, I see that my bud is called an “anchor”… how am I supposed to understand what that class can do? bizarre.
Edit: they would better off naming classes after some of the cards or their Ultimates, like instead of calling Mac an Anchor call him Bloody Boltok or something idk.
Cos his face looks like it’s been hit with one.

So Keegan gets a replacement perk. Hmmm I don’t know about anyone else but the ammo cap perk is way more useful than a health perk.

this!
I think because mac is supposed to be like a Bastion
FIVE meter requirement for Laceration?? WTF?? That class is practically trash now.

yeah but it was requested though, so its not like TC wanted this, what they wanted was what we got (no decoupling)
This is why I argue with people so much man, they constantly suggest this or that and go out of their way to push TC into doing stupid stuff when they could be giving us much cooler content or features, like I would argue that Scorcher is more important to Gears 5 than all those 5 maps are… Its because a new weapon effects every mode whereas new maps are sorta wishy-washy and don’t add too much to PvE (sure I’ll master them, but it won’t be hard lol)

What, Fly towards you and explode above your head.

Probably because they also removed JDs capacity at the same time.
No a actual bastion, not the enemy
Edit: Bastion meaning, 1. a projecting part of a fortification built at an angle to the line of a wall, so as to allow defensive fire in several directions.
- an institution, place, or person strongly defending or upholding particular principles, attitudes, or activities.
An Anchor is something that’s meant to keep you grounded. Something unmovable. I don’t really see him as that. It’s a silly name for a class really.
