    @HoodieNic @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears It’s a glitch, you have to research. Stupid af lmao

  • Ken30708415 Ken (@Ken30708415) reported

    @RodFergusson @Ckraye44 @PezRadar All I ask is please be supportive of the diablo 2 resurrected bilzzard beta forums they offer a lot of insight into how you can fix the game. The beta shows what the main problems on consoles are. Missing is Lobbies Chat (how are you supposed to trade and do chat commands)

  • Portal_Ingress Anon-X- (@Portal_Ingress) reported

    @RodFergusson @Ckraye44 @PezRadar However, I do appreciate you being transparent about answering this issue. If Blizzard only did this more often they wouldn't have such a bad rep for their customer service.

  • DrunkJug CG (@DrunkJug) reported

    @CoalitionGears your game is just beyond broken. Operation 8 takes it down another few notches. Thank you guys for ruining this franchise. Your studio needs to be replaced ASAP.

  • Raooohxc Raul Noriega (@Raooohxc) reported

    @Ckraye44 @RodFergusson @PezRadar This will not help the game be what it is meant to be this is just a half *** fix to what could keep the game in a prime form like it should be.

    @Memmo_C @CoalitionGears Your problem was that you ever gave any money to these clowns.

  • Sean_Slayys edgE_Slayys ⚔ (@Sean_Slayys) reported

    FIX THE ****** SERVERS!! @CoalitionGears

  • Michael1700Mx Michael 1700 (@Michael1700Mx) reported

    @Bullet15_ @GearsofWar fix it

  • Agonizev1 Agonize (@Agonizev1) reported

    @JerusalemJonny @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar Is it really that bad ? I don’t seem to have trouble

  • DanielLinceArt Daniel Lince (@DanielLinceArt) reported

    @CoalitionGears Cake for a broken game

  • TastierLake9147 Dylan (@TastierLake9147) reported

    @34Carl34 @CoalitionGears Leaderboards are a good idea, the problem is that they use them as a ranking system which is a terrible choice. And getting matched with bad players is the matchmaking not the leaderboards, but i still agree have a ranking system separate from the leaderboards.

  • acowsik Ashwin Cowsik (@acowsik) reported

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears could you pls look at the issue with the new versus event. When searching it just says loading profile and the timer just keeps counting… Usually it is supposed to display the event name and estimated wait time.

  • smatharoo Sap (@smatharoo) reported

    @CoalitionGears Is there an issue with Gears Tactics? None of my achievement tracking is progressing anymore and I see others reporting the same on here and on the trueachievements website.

  • aarislegato Aaris Legato (@aarislegato) reported

    @CoalitionGears are the servers down? We can't find a game and it had been searching for 30min now

  • Rhaegar8642 Rhaegar (@Rhaegar8642) reported

    @CoalitionGears we can’t play a ranked game. No one has posted anything saying that there’s a problem or anything??

  • RillyDj Rilly ♉️ 👻 (@RillyDj) reported

    @CoalitionGears Because you don't deserve cake with such bad work TC and with so many problems you should get reduced salaries but the whole team of course and that I mean seriously so disappointed & angry with of you...! 🤬💵🥧

  • generation_iv_ IV (@generation_iv_) reported

    @GearsofWar Uhhh did yall break matchmaking, im stuck on loading profile... anyone else having issues?

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    I never played a game that sponges as bad as #Gears5! You can unload whole clips in some players and it goes right through them! There should not be lag like this in 2021! Games have gone backwards!I hope the next game has better servers!! @CoalitionGears @TC_Shauny

  • InTheMorning69 InTheMorning69 (@InTheMorning69) reported

    @CoalitionGears please tell me there is an issue with loading games. I can't load any game... Just says loading profile and that's that.... Anyone else have an issue?

  • rizarjay RiZ (@rizarjay) reported

    @Diablo Weird. I've been playing Beta fine on PC, but my brother just tried to play on PS4, and no matter what character name he tries to use, it says it's invalid? Is this a known issue? @PezRadar @Diablo

  • OculusDiaboli ครๅคร (@OculusDiaboli) reported

    @CoalitionGears Fix the bloody game, npbody likes the state the game is in, and if they say they do they're just kissing your ***. Remove shot delay and or weapon swap delays, stop splittin weapon skins set and charging ridiculous amounts for the base loadout then giving the rest free to esports

  • AlexWaldrop2384 Alex Waldrop (@AlexWaldrop2384) reported

    @GearsofWar I haven't played gears 5 in months. I went back to 4 because my 5 would always freeze before joining a game, and crashing. Did you fix it? Is it time for me to come back?

  • RareEntity Easton L (@RareEntity) reported

    @RodFergusson @Ckraye44 @PezRadar Are there plans to revert Weapon Swap Glitch to its intended state or are you guys keep the fix of that specific bug?

  • FrizzleOG Frizzle (@FrizzleOG) reported

    @Ckraye44 @RodFergusson @PezRadar This seems like a pretty simple fix for the launch until they can add proper lobbies

  • Michael1700Mx Michael 1700 (@Michael1700Mx) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix servers please, some players has 10 ping, others 150. For real. is not ask to @BillGates to provide budget!

  • sinyrd Dušan M. (@sinyrd) reported from Inđija, Autonomna Pokrajina Vojvodina

    @RodFergusson @Ckraye44 @PezRadar Those aren't new features though, they were specifically removed from the console versions. Can you please explain how trading or end game targeted farming is supposed to function on consoles then? A lot of people won't be buying the game due to this issue and I'm with them.

  • insane805 brandon alvarez (@insane805) reported

    @GearsofWar @TC_Shauny @GearsofWar fix the matchmaking the update messed something up where it only says "loading profile" while searching game

  • AnthonyNorris28 Anthony Norris (@AnthonyNorris28) reported

    @GearsofWar Hi :) can you fix my progress for the Total Annihilation achievement? I have the previous 200 million damage achievement and am still below 50 % on this new 400 million one. Thanks!!

  • JerusalemJonny JerusalemJonny (@JerusalemJonny) reported

    @Agonizev1 @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar The problem seems to happen now when you search as a 5 stack. We ended up splitting the team into two and searching at the same time to find games with eachother. Worked about 75% of the time and half of those we played on the same team. Wasn't perfect but at least we got to play
