  @GhostEagleV @GearsofWar Using a cheap manufacturer & making it exclusive to us will do that lol just like the collectors editions they’re using whoever’s the cheapest then selling it a massive price tag for maximum profit problem is smaller manufacturers can’t develop a lot of stock for it

  I am 50-50 on the lancer buff. Still freezing after today's fix. Been a lot of freezing on the closed and open beta which forces me to close the game. Some games the ping is +90. And rarely Ive point blank hit someone with a Gnasher and no hit reg. Otherwise 🔥🔥🔥 @GearsofWar

  @GearsofWar Horde -Being down while having a stim along w/ another attachment sometimes won’t let me use the stim even though I have it.. feels like it gets cancels out. -Quitters should be penalized. Load in a real player instead of having a useless bot the rest of the run. My main issues!

  @GearsofWar I got hit with the dron snub error again!😭😭

  @GearsofWar Excited for eday. If you all fix the shooting to come out of the gun instead of center screen it'll be peak. I would suggest gears 3 style.

  @GearsofWar Automatic shooting with Shotgun, A Button to RUN and JUMP and jump over cover all with A Button and faster running needs to be fix on DAY 1.

  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

  Can we get some conversations going about the issues with the beta or just get some hype going talking about the positives? @Community_Gears @GearsofWar If you can make a shady post because you made a typo about aim assist, ya'll can have the Community Manager speak to us.

  @Community_Gears @GearsofWar - Gnasher broken this week. Last week, it worked fine. - Lancer too strong now, buff Gnasher if you want to keep Lancer as-is. (Faster shooting for example). - Character seems to keep running even after stopping + other control issues, sometimes gun won’t shoot. could be lag.

  @GearsofWar @Community_Gears @CoalitionGears Please buff the gnasher or just fix this man... i know its a beta but this is ridiculous for a game thats meta revolves around the shotgun

  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 Do you have your own servers? Lag so bad in a few matches it gave me vertigo.

  If we don’t fix the Netcode for E-day the games going to die very quick on launch. Please make this a number one priority I beg! @GearsofWar @Community_Gears

  @XxiKGixX @GearsofWar @XBOX I only had two issues. the matchmaking and the lack of a popping melon sound for the headshots. aside from that, I enjoyed my time with the beta and I can't wait for October. over the past few days, I have been calling out the wall bouncing sweats (they are having issues)

  @GearsofWar Imagine if your game didn't lock up and crash.

  @GearsofWar Canceling Pre order- this game is ***. You all need to quit video games especially Matt Searcey - proof you are corporate greedy share holder simps. Forcing Ray Tracing is redundant- disable RT NOW! Up it to 5 man squads - NoW - push back release and fix the clunky camera lock.

  @JipperyMcCloud @GearsofWar Ima keep it a stack, I don’t think this is specifically a gears community problem. People in general have become vile living online. Every game new or old, look at the comments. The problem is, the people having fun aint as loud cause we’re doing just that. Having fun.

  @GearsofWar Will the “GDK not available” issue be fixed when the game comes out so I can actually play it?

  @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 $300 on top of the $300 Collectors Edition, the $100 controller, the $40 charging base and $50 art book. Not saying is not $300 and that is a me problem, just pointing out it’s getting a little out of hand, please reveal the special console or don’t at this point 😭

  @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
