Why speed increased?

PrimusPhoenix99 · December 12, 2019, 3:34pm

The speed of the “run” was good, why you increased the speed? Is unaccettable the new problem of the wall in all maps, the shot pass in the wall is amazing, wake up TC.

Speed increase is for the better.

I’ve only played 2 games so far, so I can barely notice any of the movement changes. For anyone that has played multiple games are the changes actually noticeable?

xMadMike1990 · December 12, 2019, 4:49pm

I definitely like it! Gameplay feels much smoother now.

How speed increase

III_EnVii_III · December 12, 2019, 4:56pm

I was going to make a joke about how but I better not risk it

Who speed increase

Omen_1_Gamer · December 12, 2019, 5:11pm

I don’t believe they increased the speed of the run, they made the acceleration faster - so it takes less time to go from standing to running… that’s what I heard them say.

This was done to help people who were doing roadie strafing… I don’t do that, so I don’t know if it’s good/bad/useful/etc…

I want the sliding speed to be like it was in GoW4, then we can talk… being able to slide out of the way of a shot was great, and in G5 that just doesn’t work. The movement is so slow, so obvious, it’s trivial to kill someone trying to do it.

Noodie_5 · December 14, 2019, 6:10pm

They over did if. It needs dialed back a bit z

Drock4K · December 14, 2019, 6:55pm

This game isn’t even as fast as gears 4 lol

Noodie_5 · December 14, 2019, 7:12pm

And? This gears was built around the slower pace so now everything feels off. They need to dial it back or make further adjustments. Strafing is slow and clunky but they sped up the wall bounce.

So now there’s more work to do “lol”

Drock4K · December 14, 2019, 7:22pm

The whole game needs to be dialed back up to where gears 4 left off. Remove the stupid delays on everything and increase the speed on everything to where it was in gears 4.

Also gears 4 wasn’t even as fast as gears 3. That’s the problem with gears 5 too noob friendly so everything is slower which is bad for gears.

If you think this game is too fast now then lol “lol”

Omen_1_Gamer · December 16, 2019, 5:00pm

No kidding…

ParallelFir3168 · December 16, 2019, 7:45pm

MY strafe and wiggle feel faster. My slides still feel slow.

Noodie_5 · December 18, 2019, 12:35am

You completely missed my point “lol”.

The increase broke the game because EVERYTHING was built around the launch speed. Including weapon balancing. Now slides are fast but strafing is slow, delays make it feel clunky

Omen_1_Gamer · January 13, 2020, 8:01pm

get rid of the delays.

Civilize_85ers · January 15, 2020, 5:54pm

This is what I have compiled from multiple comments by myself and others.

Am I the only one who hates wallbouncing?

I love wallbouncing but the new gears of having an attacking advantage while pushing/bouncing and going for chunks is not viable.

the gears that we ALL fell in love with had different viable playstyles - gears 3 was the most versatile with strafing, roading strafing, bouncing, walking, rolling, rifling, etc and it is the most beloved.

Since gears 4 and currently in gears 5, you either bounce like an idiot or you play to hold your shot - remember the 83% and holding your shot in gears 4? it was due to this new gears and revert to me means to go back to playing for damage/downs.

does that mean the elimination of bouncing? of course not.

to me, i want to win via my brain and aim but not just my movement. the new gears of bait bait bait…and up a…and the new gears of holding your shot or geting 83% or 98% now is not what i fell in love with.

i love bouncing and it absolutely should be in the game but not to the point where it is the only viable playstyle.

look, just look at the default settings for gears of war

10-10-10-10-10-0…right?

i play

27-23-23-8-0-1 alternate on an elite controller with back paddles for X and A

you think that is gonna grow our community? where it isnt enough to just hop on the game and hit your shots - play for damage/downs - and be able to do good.

if you aint bouncing and holding shots, you are raging at 1 hit _%

for mine, revert and lets get back to brain, aim, and of course bouncing too

if we can cry to balance out the rifle play then why cant we balance out the wallbouncing?

in the end, we want viable playstyles in the community, no?

Here is other stuff that I agree with that I thought was well put.

A pro who wants to help things improve. Hear me out?(PVP thread)

For the most part, I felt like TC was making consistent improvements until a part of this recent update, which is where im looking for help/insight here. My issue/the competitive scenes issue with this recent update is the increase in the slide speed and the increase in the speed boost in Gears 5. Now this may seem like a little thing, but in gears reality it plays a big role in how the game plays. Why this is an issue is because it creates one sided individual fights. Which means that in a specific one on one shotgun fight, a majority of players will use the faster movement system in some way to get a kill even though they don’t have the positional advantage. Why this is an issue is because in classic(notice im not saying better because thats opinionat based) gears you weren’t able to utilize a fast and lethal kill like you can now in this game and like you could in Gears 4. In older Gears games, you would have to methodically pick your opponent apart by using whatever way they gave you to kill them. Gears 5 initially gave us something similar than that, but this update takes away from the methodical nature that Gears of war had in its classic titles because of the speed increase that has been done.

Noodie_5 · February 1, 2020, 10:08pm

It doesn’t matter: the speed update unbalanced mp because the guns were balanced around the old movement. Just hit up A and destroy everyone now, it’s a slide fest that’s trash

Omen_1_Gamer · February 2, 2020, 12:31am

Ok, some of you old timers who loves Gears 2, please explain this to me:

How is giving someone incredibly powerful weapons (gnasher whose gib range extends around 10m and lancer which downs you before you can charge up am embar or torgue), cranking up aim assist to insane levels, AND slowing down the movement to a crawl "balancing " movement and weapons?? Seriously, please, a genuine question - explain that to me…

This balance, to ME, seems geared at making it trivial to kill people, regardless how they move, where they move, what they do. This was “I see you, so I kill you, and there is nothing you can do about it” attitude. There are no way to slide out of the way, there was no way to roll out of the way, the movement speed and the animations were so painfully slow it was a joke trying to use them to out move your opponent.

So what extract do you people want? You want slow movement? Fine! Reduce the gib range, reduce lancer’s power, cap sensitivities at 10 and aim acceleration at 4… Then a slow movement might work…

Barf…

Please provide a single proof of that statement. I think too many people extrapolate their own personal preferences onto the “most fans” group…

If that was true then launch gears 5 would have been insanely popular and TC would have never tried to tweak it. The reason they are doing it because most people HATED IT, even if SOME loved it. And pleasing the majority is much more important than careting to the minority.
