  • 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".

  • nickomode nicko (@nickomode) reported

    @MaloneRaphael @GearsofWar the “vets” know this gnasher is broken. if you’re a true “vet” you’d want to earn your kills by outplaying your opponent instead of getting bogus one shot downs or cheesing active reloads. “noobs” want the OP gnasher because it’s easier for them.

  • mirror_egg André B (@mirror_egg) reported

    @DudeBengals @GearsofWar It's a bug. If you're not the host of the game the progress doesn't continue. I read this. I have the same problem.

  • 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

  • ETReeky T (@ETReeky) reported

    @JackN9ne @GearsofWar You are right, there is little rewards for even playing this game. There is not much really much to unlock or anything to progress towards. In Gears 4 I would play ranked to try to get Diamond or Masters even though it was a bit of a broken system, but this game has nothing.

  • 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.

  • The_Harrier The Harrier (@The_Harrier) reported

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

  • 9Bryaaan2 Wagon (@9Bryaaan2) reported

    Yo @GearsofWar I’m playing Blitz and just capped 30 times with 30+ kills and only got 1,600 XP. Fix your ****.

  • IamPunyay Punyay (@IamPunyay) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix the servers ffs.... Sick of being put on USA servers. Also include a ping/connection bar, the fact you can't visually see the game connection in 2025 is criminal

  • NickyNick520 Nick Lonardo (@NickyNick520) reported

    @GearsofWar @Community_Gears XP not working played several games with over 10,000 XP and it doesn’t work

  • xlKanonxl Kanon (@xlKanonxl) reported

    @GearsofWar Stop messing up the game, fix the bugs for the achievements this is proof that TC is unable to carry a franchise like gears of war it deserves something better....

  • AxskullTV Caleb (@AxskullTV) reported

    @GearsofWar Ever since the new update I stopped earning xp and wins please fix

  • Needmorepudds MrScratchApprentice (@Needmorepudds) reported

    @SorryDaSlayer @GearsofWar Never had this issue

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

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

  • KennyBounce Justin (@KennyBounce) reported

    @GearsofWar A step in the right direction, but the 15% taken off the ranged damage is not needed if the spread is going to be widened. The bigger issue is the close range damage. Reduce close range damage and adding ~10% back to the ranged damage would create a better balance

  • thebenlawyer Benjamin Lawyer (@thebenlawyer) reported

    @GearsofWar @Community_Gears Maybe fix when you block someone mid game and you freeze “contacting gears services”…..

  • 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.

  • Wolfenstein4TW Jagr (@Wolfenstein4TW) reported

    @GearsofWar Xp gain is broken

  • meyerpark meyerpark (@meyerpark) reported

    @GoWMills @GearsofWar Another glitch

  • 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

  • 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

  • Ej_Scorpion Edgar Guerrero (@Ej_Scorpion) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix Gears UE Win 10 Achievements pls!!!!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • HolyFortune Fortune (@HolyFortune) reported
