  • TC_Kilo TC Kilo (@TC_Kilo) reported

    @Mattdrenaline Oh man the tags! We have been acknowledging the server issues from @CoalitionGears but it's something we're continuing to chase up, there's just nothing more to say currently :(

  • Volantpanda4583 volantpanda4583 (@Volantpanda4583) reported

    @TC_Kilo @Mattdrenaline @CoalitionGears It's not your fault it's Microsoft problem and you didn't answer my question earlier if you can kindly do plz

  • Inception_PB Daniel Rodríguez (@Inception_PB) reported

    @Frod054 @GearsofWar Lol, I would lancer the crap out of people like you and you’d all get salty to the point where they had to nerf it. I don’t hyper bounce because good players don’t need cheap “tactics” like that. Y’all simply mad because your only solution to problems was nerfed. Learn to play 🤡

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar fix these shitty servers

  • hiatus23 Dtech (@hiatus23) reported

    @TheRazoredEdge @Microsoft @GearsofWar P2 rather have them remake 2 so they can faithfully restore the game and give us the highest fidelity possible in terms of graphics we can admit gears looks dated is behind in terms of looks also they need time to work out networking issues working on all 3 games at the same time

  • Protobaldy Andrew (@Protobaldy) reported

    @GearsofWar You guys gonna fix Anyas man hands?

  • TriangularPrzm 2020 (@TriangularPrzm) reported

  • Andrxw452 Andrxw452 (@Andrxw452) reported

    @SCoulgow @GearsofWar I know they are working on it, but man it sucks Im getting lag in PVE, campaign, multiplayer, everything really It’s sad to see, as the games with gold has just started and this doesn’t look good for gears

  • Mattdrenaline Mattdrenaline (Master Of Ranked) (@Mattdrenaline) reported

    Mister Kilo has replied. Hazaaahh “Oh man the tags! We have been acknowledging the server issues from @CoalitionGears but it's something we're continuing to chase up, there's just nothing more to say currently” - TC Kilo It seems he has mentioned it previously.

  • frostxfy Sculias (Frostxfy) (@frostxfy) reported

  • Inception_PB Daniel Rodríguez (@Inception_PB) reported

    @Frod054 @GearsofWar You mad because you can’t hyper bounce your way out of trouble anymore? Mad because you can’t exploit back A’s anymore? Try getting good 💪🏼😎

  • Gzprime2 Negan/The Saviors (@Gzprime2) reported

    @GearsofWar Will you fix Anya’s hands in her new skin? That’s unacceptable. @TC_Kilo

  • Broman1978 Matthias Broman (@Broman1978) reported

    @CoalitionGears Problems with servers today? Been rubberbanding all day:( (sweden)

  • Jason24cf Jason Laboy Photography (@Jason24cf) reported

    @TC_Kilo @CoalitionGears As well as the connection issues. I’m shooting people point blank and they are eating shots. I seen @TheRazoredEdge also shared a video at how bad the sponging is.

  • LizzieCarmine5 I Yugo I (@LizzieCarmine5) reported

    @Kirvin_A @hibambi_ @CoalitionGears That, and servers randomly handing out bans to players in Ranked lobbies because someone else left it or worse, the server kicked them out instead of it being a player connection issue.

  • Guilty1144 GUILTY (@Guilty1144) reported

    @GearsofWar I play on the series x. Anyone else’s game crash after this latest update? This game always ran smooth. 2 back to back crashes now.

  • DannyStaley3 🖤🌿 (@DannyStaley3) reported

    @CoalitionGears ARE YOU GUYS GONNA FIX THE WAKAATU IN THE NEW HORDE EVENT? Honestly everytime it gets stuck underground damn it

  • TC_Kilo TC Kilo (@TC_Kilo) reported

  • Joeluigi111 joseph perreault (@Joeluigi111) reported

    i just had, the gears server crash in boss rush. i was halfway done. @CoalitionGears fix gears 5! faster and quicker!

  • MrMarston7 Mr.Claytin (@MrMarston7) reported

    @StuffTheTheory @GearsofWar what is the problem with being gay?🧐🤷

  • LizzieCarmine5 I Yugo I (@LizzieCarmine5) reported

    @Kirvin_A @hibambi_ @CoalitionGears Hot take : The potential issue is the filter wrongly issuing bans for text chat that wasn’t directed at anyone. Yes, I think this decision is stupid as well but said filter isn’t exactly a miracle solution either when TCs word filters in-game don’t work properly.

  • Th3legendMan Jason (@Th3legendMan) reported

    @CoalitionGears Fix the **** tuning.

  • TheHarsch1 Tha R (@TheHarsch1) reported

    @Pepea26753720 @GearsofWar Think Im @ 9. Stopped in Op2. Know I can make it to 50. But why do I want to frustrate myself w/ this game when the servers are TERRIBLE? ESPECIALLY lately. Fix server Ping/connections. Feel bad for the grinders that gave their life b4 this XP change. But it's how TC works I feel

  • LvxGoW HvNz Lex (@LvxGoW) reported

    @CoalitionGears @TC_Kilo I'm currently in a match with 1600 (!) ping... Can you guys PLEASE fix your servers. Should be the no. 1 priority rn if it's not already. :(

  • SASxVEN0MZz New year VEN0MZz (@SASxVEN0MZz) reported

    @SyntaxTBE @TC_Kilo @CoalitionGears Servers seem to be doing slightly better since Tuesdays update. Remember and make a support ticket if your still having problems
