    @PezRadar The reason behind TCP/IP still feels like BS, But fine your toys so whatever, but Provide us an alternative. You have said there will be an Offline mode you can enable, could TCP/IP be enabled only in that mode? Also, the Combat Bugs? Always Miss, Fend, Fury, Desummon? Fix? Pls

  • acowsik Ashwin Cowsik (@acowsik) reported

    @jmelia123 @Community_Gears @GearsofWar It’s obvious from that but question is why are the servers shared? Makes no sense considering the impact a maintenance outage causes now. Gears 4 servers never needed any major maintenance per say since there are no game updates and active population is very low.

  • THExD20 brandon wofford (@THExD20) reported

    @PezRadar So what your saying is you dont care about the console and only released it there for the cash grab. Wtf? Jeeping it true to the original literally includes in game communication and custom lobbies. Sorry but trading lobbies need names plain and simple. Fix it

  • xrafaelmuller Rafa (@xrafaelmuller) reported

    @GearsofWar Gears is not working 🙄

  • Bstyulz William M. Paduano II (@Bstyulz) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar I run a consistant 10-20 ping every game and kill cams say I'm clearly lagging when people are airballing shots completely missing in realtime+kill cam and continuing to get hit markers/kills on me. this has been a thing for several months. HALP.

  • ElioValenzuela1 Stormed (@ElioValenzuela1) reported

    @BeysBlades @GearsofWar I guess, it's just for "balance" issues.

  • rock_dj85 BonyJos (@rock_dj85) reported

    @Xbox @GearsofWar Hope @therealcliffyb can fix in Gow6 what this franchise has became .

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    @GearsofWar You need to fix your laggy trash servers! #Gears5 has the worse lag in all of gaming and it's totally frustrating losing to scrubs because of major sponging!

  • Schizonir KrimsonWannabe (@Schizonir) reported

    @GearsofWar My customization stuff keeps disappearing and i’m tired of reinstalling the game. Is there a way to fix that??

  • Moxilein OA (@Moxilein) reported

    @PezRadar As allways so many bad decisions. Sadge. No Ladders at start no Mod Support.... God damn give us ladder at start useless 2 bring it later in a game where you has 2 grind so much and short after start over cause you are afraid of connection Problems at start...

  • ghostmd2020 David (@ghostmd2020) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Why have you nerfed the class XP below the 5x XP event advertised?With no XP boost would get 1750xp for classes for completing escape on insane. That means should get 1750x5=8750Xp for this event, yet I’m only getting 5250xp which is not x5. Please fix this

  • amir_1878 eyedea (@amir_1878) reported

  • DanielLinceArt Daniel Lince (@DanielLinceArt) reported

    @GearsofWar And still no fixes for the broken game

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Fix your laggy trash servers! Any casual player who plays Gears5 now with this lag will quit the game in 5 minutes! Do you even care how laggy #Gears5 is? Fing Pathetic developers! No #Microsoft game should lag this bad! Players have walls in front of them!

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    @GearsofWar Gears5 is so bad now that it's a crime! You can't even kill anyone on the other team because they have lag walls in front of them! #Microsoft please look into this game because something is really broken! I have been playing Gears for years and it's never been this bad before

  • vaporjoes VAPOR★JOES (@vaporjoes) reported

    @GearsofWar will you STFU and fix your damn server issues.

  • TopSliced TopSlice (@TopSliced) reported

    @xnshd @GearsofWar X10 was a glitch its actually ×5 or something

  • Jack_Genna Vincenzo (@Jack_Genna) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Helloooooo??? The fix doesen t work!!

  • JJ828_ Lightning (@JJ828_) reported

    @HighnessPurple @GearsofWar Well, that so called "whining" is why people who bought horizon forbidden west on the PS4 are getting the PS5 upgrade for free instead of paying another $80. If you want to stay silent be my guest. I'll voice my opinion so we can get better service for the players thank you.

  • JustinIsbell11 Justin Isbell (@JustinIsbell11) reported

    @PezRadar I don't really care to voice chat, go through all that trouble just to say tp up. Or here's waypoint, that was one of the things I hated about diablo 3. What if a deaf person was playing, how are they suppose to communicate? Go through home screen and message each person?

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    The lag in #Gears5 is so bad right now that I hit a player and he was down and I shot him directly with the Gnasher and unloaded a whole clip in him when he was down and he did not die! PC players cheat big time and ruin every game they play! @CoalitionGears
