  @Sarcasm_Lord_ @GearsofWar What is your problem with women? The world is not what you think of it. You guys are stuck with stupid thinking. IQ 52.

  @ItsAhki_ @GearsofWar The lancer is so broken the shotgun is pointless. Gears is about smart aggression, not sitting still with an automatic. The tuning was fine. Now it’s insanely broken. Especially in ranked.

  @bigdogsride @GearsofWar What’s the problem? All of them have been enlisted/commissioned into the COG. Taking orders from a Captain is nothing out of the ordinary lol.

  @MrTony007 @GearsofWar I have to agree… Even at max sensitivity settings, everything still felt slow. You’d figure this would be the fastest of all games considering their ages. No issues with the gnasher, but that lancer buff was STUPID! Closed beta was fine, but open beta was a camp fest.

  @CoalitionGears look if you guys tried to fix the crash on gear e day, it did not fixed it because I was playing horde mode after I did the new update for the patch and still crashing on Xbox series x not sure why my cooling system it’s perfectly fine normal for other games …

  @GearsofWar Your beta has cheaters now. The multiplayer will be dead within a month like Gears 4 if you don’t address this issue

  @Community_Gears @GearsofWar is there any proper fix planned for the gill-gutpuncher error code? I tried the solutions I saw on the site, re-installed the game, and nothing seems to work.

  @GearsofWar Please, tell us why you went back to center screen shooting… This game is designed to lure in new players, but every new/returning player I have spoken to absolutely despises it amd it creates or is apart of so many issues the game gas right now

  Gears of War: E-Day is great… it just needs a couple things fixed: • Fix the Gnasher • Buff the Gnasher • Nerf the Gnasher • Make the Gnasher one-shot again • Stop the one-shots • Bring back 8 shells • Keep the 6 shells but make active reload better • Wall bounce is dead, bring it back • Wall bounce is still too strong, kill it • Cover cancels feel locked and slow • Cover cancels are too free • Movement has too much momentum • Movement has no weight • Bring the roadie run back • The new upright sprint is mid • Hit detection is trash • Hit detection is better than Gears 5 • Aim assist is broken • Aim assist doesn’t exist in Versus • Audio is dog water • Directional audio needs a complete overhaul • Crashes every 3 matches • Matchmaking takes 10 years • Crossplay is broken • PC cheaters already everywhere • EAC is useless • Ban macros • Controller support on Steam is a joke • MnK feels floaty • Mouse sensitivity is wrong • Deadzones are broken • Visual popping everywhere • Cover is inconsistent • Out of bounds still happens • Blood is too clean • Not enough gibs • Not enough execution animations • Marcus looks too young • Marcus looks too old • Dom’s voice is off • Bring back classic Horde instead of Horde Siege • Horde Siege is actually fire though • Add custom lobbies • Add more maps already • Fix the Lancer • Buff the Lancer more • Nerf the Lancer • Projectile travel time feels weird • Ballistics are too realistic • Make it feel more like Gears 1 • Make it feel more like Gears 3 • Make it feel more like Gears 5 but fixed • Fix the camera when sliding • Sliding is too strong • Sliding is useless • Jumping is pointless • Why can I even jump • Film grain and chromatic aberration can’t be turned off • Performance mode still dips • Series S hitching • 150 FPS cap in beta was criminal • Shaders take forever • Skip intro logos already • More blood. Always more blood. Once these are all fixed I think we’re headed in the right direction. Thanks. @CoalitionGears @XBOX

  @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears Helpful feedback: You removed roadie running, “meat shielding” & grenade tagging. You can’t mantle with the run button, sliding gets spammed, movement can feel unresponsive, & there are UX, reload, sniping & other issues. Vet players believe you can do better.

  Why did you dumb *** ****** buff the lancer ******* gears 3 all over again fix this **** @GearsofWar

  TAO Devil (@TAO_Devil) reported 34 minutes ago

  @TYPOGRAPH1C @GearsofWar 1) 100% 2) I think they need a *slight* uptick in damage but overall mostly agree. 3) The gnashing was never supposed to be THE gun. We just took it and MADE it be one. And then screamed bloody murder anytime a "fix" was suggested/applied lol

  Give #gearsofwar a chance they have problems but it’s a beta. Let them have a chance to hear your complaints so they can make the game better. 🤞

  @GearsofWar if yall don’t fix the sync and the cheaters. Your game dies. No one wants a clunky *** gears where nothing works. It’s a beta yes, but if this is how the game plays? Good luck

  @GearsofWar **** steam. Turn off crossplay. Biggest ******* issue with the gnashing is steam players lagging like **** all

  @GearsofWar @GearsofWar You all really screwed the beta up with that update no clue what you all did but its not *skill issue*. Everything was working fine before that update. Now it’s Lancer heaven. I have no clue if you guys thought, “Yay, we balanced the weapons,” because no you absolutely did not. The servers were also acting worse. Good luck with launch. Hopefully things are better and the weapons are actually balanced, because otherwise this game is going to fall off just like Reloaded.

  Marty (@OujaStrike) reported 46 minutes ago

  I hope for launch it gets fix when picking up ammo you don’t just pick up the weapon, noticed that in the beta and was just strange that you don’t just pickup the ammo #GearsofWar

  I love Gears of War. Its been in my life for 20 years. EDay is heading in the right direction for the series for sure. OG gears fans need to understand that bringing in new players is going to require compromise so the game we love will stay alive. Feedback from the beta: Weapons - Lancer Proto: Remove the damage buff and increase accuracy a little. Reduce stopping power slightly. There's really no way to move around it unless you smoke Lancer Mk1: Make the accuracy worse Gnasher: Reduce gib range just a hair and smoothen damage drop off. Make the pellet pattern 100% consistent (if it isnt) Snub: Reduce damage slightly Incinerator: Fix odd issues trying to shoot from slide or cover tansition. Reduce Magazine size to 2 Gut Puncher: No spare ammo, its too strong Hammerburst: This weapon felt good Vulcan: I think its in a good spot Grenades in general: Adjust throw distance, its just a little too short. Tagging enemies should come back. I think thats a fair compromise to remove mines Longshot: This weapon is in a good spot Movement: Remove UpA speed boost. Movement should be consistent across the board Wallbouncing is in a good spot. Its fast if you do it right. Hyper bouncing is unrealistic (this is good) Sliding: Fix weird collision inconsistencies. If you slide into team mates or bodies you can literally disappear, died to this several times. Sprinting: I personally do not like how slow it is to turn the camera when sprinting, but I understand why it is this way. My only real problem with sprinting is the shooting delay from sprint. 15 years of muscle memory is gone since Im so used to shooting immediately out of a roadie run. Im not sure how to fix this or why its even in place, but worth discussing. This may help the gnasher against rifles too. Mantle kick should come back, not sure about cover yank but mantle kick was fine. The Beta has been great so far. I've been waiting for years for another gears game and this one is poised to deliver a great experience. One thing TC, please do not cave to the gnasher only community and make the sole focus of the game gnasher wallbouncing. Everyone touts Gears 3 as being the best (myself included) and in 3 you could spawn in with a RETRO LANCER/SAWED OFF. All of the weapons worked and filled their roles perfectly. That should be the true end goal. The tunings in 3 rarely changed if at all. Please stick to this mentality. Nobody likes learning a new tuning every month, it's terrible. Make ONE tuning and stick to it across all game modes (no "competitive" tunings, they divided the already small player base). I cant wait to play the actual game in October. Its going to be a long wait. #gearsofwar #Eday @CoalitionGears
