  • mikedamanzumo michael zumo (@mikedamanzumo) reported

    @GearsofWar Still the same thing ! Why do you guys always have to try and fix something when it’s not broken.

  • Mouss___ Neon Dreamz (@Mouss___) reported

    @GearsofWar @Community_Gears I don’t know what you guys did with your update but I am not getting XP for my matches at all. Please resolve the issue.

    @Jordy_Rozay @GearsofWar Bro these kids are tweaks , its like they snort lines and glue their eyelids open for 13 hours , and play. Never had this issue in gears 5 lmao

  • MasAlaMode MasAlaMode (@MasAlaMode) reported

    @GearsofWar wish i could get a refund. Nothing works in this game. Its highly advantageous to be on PC or xbox because the game wasn’t ready for cross platform play… servers are dog ****. The lag after the update is ridiculous…. **** yall at GOW give me my money back or fix it

  • DAcquisto1994 Matt D'Acquisto 🇮🇹 (@DAcquisto1994) reported

    @GearsofWar ******* slide into cover but roll is so annoying fix that ****

  • SorryDaSlayer SorryDaSlayer (@SorryDaSlayer) reported

    @GearsofWar For the love of god please fix the bug where after you finish a long match you just get no xp. Winning a 30 minute long 50+ kill match of KOTH and not getting any xp feels like **** and makes me not wanna log back on.

  • katosenz Verso (@katosenz) reported

    @GearsofWar Now we can't get any XP? Problem after problem. Refund everyone

  • NobleChampion91 NobleChampion (@NobleChampion91) reported

  • EdwardJonline Edward J (@EdwardJonline) reported

    @GearsofWar online service error. Ps5.. what do I do?

  • The_Harrier The Harrier (@The_Harrier) reported

    @GearsofWar Please fix the issue where only the host of a party gets XP and achievement progress.

  • SorryDaSlayer SorryDaSlayer (@SorryDaSlayer) reported

    @GearsofWar @GearsCommunity_ how have we still not fixed the bug where if matches go for an extended amount of time you just don’t get the xp at the end. Just played a 30 minute koth game with 48 kills and got 0 xp. The way this game released is a ******* joke. Fix it

  • AkaDizzle_ Dizzle (@AkaDizzle_) reported

    @GearsofWar PLEASE fix matchmaking. I shouldn’t be getting matched with level 1’s that just walk around, L trigger and don’t even know how to use cover.

  • Marcus27782943 MAXIMO Capcom Archives (@Marcus27782943) reported

    @MaloneRaphael @GearsofWar Dude the Gnasher was broken by them in Gears 4. Not the community.

  • GnashtyDamerch Dan (@GnashtyDamerch) reported

    @MaloneRaphael @GearsofWar It was nothing like back in the day. The main issue being that the pellet spread is completely different because, you guessed it, everyone complained about it. So since the pellet spread isnt randomized and is not the peace sign, its too overpowered with the current damage output

  • edj8671 Eric (@edj8671) reported

    @GearsofWar Can you fix the audio issues? On series X Coles weapon sounds wrong when you first meet him and there is crackling every time you enter a new area.

  • meyerpark meyerpark (@meyerpark) reported

    @GearsofWar @CommunityGears please fix the Gears of War 2 server for upload photo of death spectator photo for Photojournalist achievement. Gears of War 2 is backwards compatible on Xbox Series X for a reason.

  • IGuessVro Suriya Rip jiraiya (@IGuessVro) reported

    @_Avexys The 1 shot down isn’t the issue it ping latency and certain dedication that needs to be worked on the sever itself @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears

  • Needmorepudds MrScratchApprentice (@Needmorepudds) reported

    @SorryDaSlayer @GearsofWar Never had this issue

  • DAcquisto1994 Matt D'Acquisto 🇮🇹 (@DAcquisto1994) reported

    @GearsofWar fix the ******* ranking system in this game low levels play with low levels high levels play with high levels

  • YourManzJames James☃️ (@YourManzJames) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix the ******* xp glitch I will gladly uninstall

  • IBunnyTwili Ty (@IBunnyTwili) reported

    @GearsofWar -exp is not added to the level after each game -When playing in group only the host gets the progress of the achievements, the others do not. -typical connection loss message are very serious problems and they are not given the priority to repair them "fast".

  • xMRDGx Daniel Green (@xMRDGx) reported

    @GearsofWar What about the Party Host progression issue??? Its sad that most Players playing alone or changing the Party Host from time to time to get their progression. Fix it! The Game is dying after just one week. It's frightening how the game is treated and released like this! @Xbox

  • Killerstani Killerstani (@Killerstani) reported

    @GearsofWar @Community_Gears Just letting you know, the state of gears reloaded isn’t great. Sponging everywhere, shots not registering, people still one shot downing me, to me this is just UE 2.0. Also, fix your servers, for a 2025 game, this is far from ideal @NOTORIOU5_YY

  • meyerpark meyerpark (@meyerpark) reported

    @GoWMills @GearsofWar Another glitch

  • h6lheim hel (txylors) (@h6lheim) reported

    about to stop playing gears until they fix whatever ******** they did to the xp. 50+ kills 20+ caps & 6,000 XP is absolutely crazy i should be getting 50,000+ like other lobbies. why is the leveling unbalanced?? @GearsofWar
