    @Danny_eXceeds @solipsism_VT @CoalitionGears I got upset cause you had someone talk for you you know I'd confront you about it and I DM'd first not the other way around and I asked you if you had a problem we can set a match up & didnt say you was playing I still got the messages that's why i DM'd you so it's not on Twitter

  • CTRLHypeWall HypeWall (@CTRLHypeWall) reported

    @PzLBossman @CoalitionGears I 100% agree with you, TC completely ruined Gears I’m barely playing it now as it is The amount of issues the game has had since launch is ridiculous If Gears 6 flops, I’ll be moving on to play something else

  • adamsingleton91 Adam Singleton (@adamsingleton91) reported

    @CoalitionGears @Community_Gears tracking achievements are broken again on Tactics 😩 please fix

  • EvoX663 Daniel (@EvoX663) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar please fix seriously 5.0 chapter 2, i‘ve done all requierements now it‘s stuck at 99%. 😔

  • ChrisMPerry Chris Perry (@ChrisMPerry) reported

    @PezRadar Adam, can you explain how the game listing works in the lobby? A close friend lives 3 hours away and sees different games than me. In addition, sometimes the listing is completely empty. Is this a known issue and currently a work in progress or something new? Thanks.

  • RodFergusson Rod Fergusson (@RodFergusson) reported

    @BrandonRHaddock @PezRadar Oh we've identified the issue, we just have to be very careful in writing, testing and deploying the fix. Everyone is working their hardest to make this better but it's not an overnight change.

  • seld2040 Kanaletto (@seld2040) reported

    @Nikolai03 @GearsofWar That's my problem with gears events. Most of the time I feel they are user (overall) level boost and not classes boost.

  • BrandonRHaddock Brandon Haddock (@BrandonRHaddock) reported

    @RodFergusson @PezRadar Due to high population logins it’s breaking the legacy coding causing a bunch of issues so the limitation exists to see where the “break” is happening? This was a couple weeks ago and there hasn’t been any sort of issues identified? That isn’t sarcasm just curious on progress?

  • Jack_Genna Vincenzo (@Jack_Genna) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Fix the achievement

  • nostrilexposure powdered toast man (@nostrilexposure) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar FIX THE LANCER and NERF THE GNASHER

  • BrandonRHaddock Brandon Haddock (@BrandonRHaddock) reported

    @RodFergusson @PezRadar Are the ladder queues due to capacity problems or just some coding that needs to be worked out?

  • AmyAlysonFans Amy Alyson Fans (@AmyAlysonFans) reported

    @SchauerReid @agnew1979 @GearsofWar Not to correct you, but no it wasn’t. There was a glitch and for about 1.5 days it was 900% bonus XP. That was corrected and the rest of the week was 500%. I know because I grinded 16 hours a day during that period and we were bummed when they patched the glitch!

  • fourminutes25 Venus Ryan _time for a music revolution (@fourminutes25) reported

    @PezRadar Thats why I want to be on the WoW Council we need to turn the game around behaviour wise for players & make it safer for female players. I have 30 years of customer service experience & problem solving teamleading, working with broken servers and malfunctioning software

  • Hollowed_Kantus ψ K̶a̵n̷t̴u̷s̴ ⛧ (@Hollowed_Kantus) reported

    @GearsofWar Being a fan of this franchise sucks. Bad content like not all characters have skins, broken weapons like the boomshot, reused voice lines (Palace Guard, Sraak and Karn), useless promotional characters, horde bosses are broken, breaking promises. 1-2

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    The Power weapons in ranked control ruin the game! In a 300 second game there should be limited power weapons spawns and it should more about Gnasher fighting at the ring! Sadly nothing can fix #Gears5 laggy servers! @CoalitionGears

  • drtwoonesix David (@drtwoonesix) reported

    @trusz @PezRadar @breonnick My S is the worst car I've ever owned, It has been in and out of the dealers since day1 with issues which should have been caught with any kind of QC and it rattles worse than my convertible. Unforgivable in a 90k car cant wait to replace it when my company car next comes up.

  • cam70337239 cam (@cam70337239) reported

    @CoalitionGears hey. I’ve been banned for about 3-4 months now for an unknown reason, I’ve sent in at least 3 help requests about my issue and they’ve all been ‘received’ but nothing has changed nor have I been emailed back or responded too. Hope I can get a response soon.

  • BrandonRHaddock Brandon Haddock (@BrandonRHaddock) reported

    @RodFergusson @PezRadar I suppose if there was an update your team would have posted it. Just unfortunate as a player to see this still happening multiple weeks after the issues have been identified.

  • StevenHerbert3 Herbie 🎶 (@StevenHerbert3) reported

    How are we 6 games into the @GearsofWar franchise and sponging is still a massive issue??

  • D4RKM4773R Sorry in Advance, Okies (@D4RKM4773R) reported

    @DiabloImmortal @PezRadar 🔥 📱 🔥 Hey, a head up cause you ignore those reporting issues your game is very poorly optimised for anything longer than 30min of gameplay (tested on multiple phones) causing heavy battery drain and danger levels of heat by the 1+ hr mark... @Blizzard_Ent will end up sued!

  • BobiB420 Dank Munkee (@BobiB420) reported

    @PezRadar Hey I feel ya! Spilled a drink on my laptop and need to replace the whole top piece containing the keyboard and touchpad 😖 Luckily I knew how to quickly disassemble so no other components were damaged, but still… it ain’t a cheap fix.

  • MrBuilder123 Builder (@MrBuilder123) reported

    @CoalitionGears Got Gear 5 (Sale/Steam). Can launch game then after minute or so get this crasherror "The graphics card have stopped working. Please make sure your graphics card drivers is up to date"Code GW502. Please release patch to fix this. Other old+new games runs fine 🙏👍

  • YourDevastator (Devy) (@YourDevastator) reported

    @PezRadar Having own mustangs my whole adult life, and checked one out while my Mustang was getting service, I could never see myself buying one of those lol. Black interior?

  • Mattdrenaline Elevate Mattdrenaline (@Mattdrenaline) reported

    Fix Classic Alt you useless rats @CoalitionGears

  • Footballman1298 Dan Moore (@Footballman1298) reported

    @PezRadar @BlizzardCS @RodFergusson the Pindle portal makes me game crash 3 out of 10 times. Can we please get a fix… I sit in que for 45 mins and then crash in the first 5. How is this fair

  • SchauerReid Reid Schauer (@SchauerReid) reported

    @GingiesMom @agnew1979 @GearsofWar Yes 900% with a + before it so it was effectively 10x XP, though I was just told that was a glitch that happened during Labor Day week so they patched it after 1.5 days and the rest of the week was just +500%.

  • BKaname04 BrittanyKaname04 (@BKaname04) reported

    @GearsofWar what is going on the the glitch of not being able to use or upgrade your character cards. I have not been able to equip any of my characters game cards.

  • UzilKryll Kryll (@UzilKryll) reported

    @GearsofWar if you gave barrick his lighter we wouldn’t have any trouble now would we?

  • gzldx Xing Lao (@gzldx) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar please fix seriously 5.0 chapter 2 achivement,i stuck in 99% for more than one month

  • seld2040 Kanaletto (@seld2040) reported

    @BaronVoNewman @GearsofWar Same. I will say let's just wait if it was an error of them, maybe they'll fix it like other events.
