  • Youroffended1 Youroffended (@Youroffended1) reported

    @CoalitionGears GEARS OF WAR ULTIMATE EDITION IS NOT WORKING! PLEASE FIX!!

  • joe100_average AVERAGE_JOE100 (@joe100_average) reported

    @CoalitionGears any word on fixing the error preventing players on Xbox and pc players from playing the campaign coop together

  • mipzhap Marc Ilsø Poulsen (@mipzhap) reported

    @Zizaran @PezRadar Won't that become a problem in the 3rd difficulty? I seem to recall that in act 1 every mob is cold immune, which I remember ruined it for me.

  • WhistlesJimmy Jimmy_Whistles (@WhistlesJimmy) reported

    @CoalitionGears @TheRazoredEdge How about you fix the issue with the Gears ultimate edition servers? No one can connect or join on the Xbox series x/s

  • Harahune possum dressed like an old british history teacher (@Harahune) reported

    @PezRadar Basically, is it possible that self repair just not working anymore on an ethereal weapon that hits 0 durability (thus the item is dead and useless forever) will be changed to have the same functionality as ethereal throwing weapons?

  • RyanRyboSimmy Ryan (@RyanRyboSimmy) reported

    @CoalitionGears Hi i was woundring if you could tell me whats going on with the gears of war ultimate edition i start the game up and i keep getting a online service error hope this can and will be resolved. Never had this issue before, hope to hear back from you thanks.

  • CeeJayCarter3 CeeJay Carter (@CeeJayCarter3) reported

    @PezRadar Amazon! Btw, I’m sure you get this a lot, but would you guys PLZ consider putting “wsg” (weapon swap cancels stun animation) back in the game like legacy d2LOD? Without it, the pvp aspect is broken against stun skills. Great work on D2R, looking forward to putting time in! Thanks

  • EMK_KrAuSeR EMK KrAuSeR 💢 (@EMK_KrAuSeR) reported

    @PaulLivo @GearsofWar Do you have a problem with colabs!? O.o

  • Villainess_Abby Dark Countess Abigail, JRPG Villainess (@Villainess_Abby) reported

    @PezRadar Heya, I have a quick question. Did the D2R dev team fix Claw Mastery not working with some skills? With Blade Fury, while using a claw-type weapon doesn't give you attack rating, which effectively makes the skill nearly useless for many applications.

  • KyonPT Kyon (@KyonPT) reported

    @on_god23 @XboxSupport Mine shuts off only on Gears 5 while playing online. It’s absolutely random. It’s been like this since operation 7 for me. Before that Series X worked flawlessly. @CoalitionGears has done nothing to fix this. I know some users with the same exact problem, only on Gears MP.

  • ZoeJargon Zoe Jargon (@ZoeJargon) reported

    @CoalitionGears I have a problem with gears 5, I bought the suit of kait hive hunter and the character of lizzie carmine, but when i turn off the xbox and enter again in the game i dont have the characters but the money either, is it a bug?

  • Gears_Gnasher Jason G (@Gears_Gnasher) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix Gears UE

  • matt_saunders_ Matt Saunders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇪⭐️⭐️ (@matt_saunders_) reported

    @xbox_xTrilonx @PezRadar So some random person who has no history or loyalty with a game gets given stuff to hype up a game and often free things to give to their followers, it exacerbates the problem. There are no gaming commission rules, they’re just giving product out to whoever they want. Bad.

  • UtmostPotential Crown D.Brown👑 (@UtmostPotential) reported

    @CoalitionGears Your game is literally NOT fun to play. anymore & the match making sucks.. you guys suck even harder.. you NEVER address or fix any real mechanical issues & swear you have love for the game.. disgraced a great franchise🖕🏾

  • TerryHB_ Terry (@TerryHB_) reported

    @PaulLivo @GearsofWar Epic also couldn't fix some of the issues with Judgement because MS didn't allow them to. I wonder how much that's still a problem now

  • seismicwaffle Survivor1478 (@seismicwaffle) reported

    @GearsofWar You guys ruined the game with the update. There is now a **** ton of input lag on every server. **** you all to hell.

  • GrimSZN Taylor (@GrimSZN) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix Gears 6

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    The @CoalitionGears totally mutilated #Gears5 and everyone quit playing the game! Players that played #Gearsofwar for years left the game! Now the Coalition is forcing Console players to play PC players because the game is dead! The servers lag so bad it's impossible to compete

  • seismicwaffle Survivor1478 (@seismicwaffle) reported

    @GearsofWar literally every game is unplayable. thanks for ruining the game with lag you ******* retards

  • vsully360 Craig (@vsully360) reported

    @PezRadar Is it possible to fix the Metalgrid amulet issue in D2R at some point so that you don't lose the summoned golem whenever you quit a game?

  • Gears_Gnasher Jason G (@Gears_Gnasher) reported

    @GearsUtility @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar Fix Gears UE. Fix Gears Ultimate Edition. Been down for over a week with no word from TC on the issue. Weak.

  • XplosionCom Xplosion Gaming (@XplosionCom) reported

    @CoalitionGears GEARS OF WAR ULTIMATE EDITION IS NOT WORKING! PLEASE FIX!!

  • Johnath26370303 Johnathan Thomas (@Johnath26370303) reported

    @papi_blanco_7 @GearsofWar @GearsEsports Yeah it seems like this is a widespread common issue across the board for everyone. I wouldn't doubt that when the coalition attempted to give black steel queen myyrah the correct face model they must have forgotten or messed something else up resulting in what we see now.
