    @CoalitionGears Hopefully they can hire someone to fix the woke work left behind by the Gears 5 team and Make Gears Great Again!

  • Devocito Devon Harris (@Devocito) reported

    @PezRadar Why dont you work on diablos issues.

  • AnimeWeeeb69 🔞AnimeWeeeB🚷 (@AnimeWeeeb69) reported

    @CoalitionGears Fix your servers it shouldn’t take 20 mins to fina a match on gears 4-5 it’s really sad

  • Ej_Scorpion Edgar Guerrero (@Ej_Scorpion) reported

    @CoalitionGears @CoalitionGears fix Gears UE for Windows please

  • jericon Will Gunty 💙 (@jericon) reported

    @Rennix_ @PezRadar Got it. Sorry. I can’t really help any then. I am one of the people that runs the database servers but this sounds like a game client issue and definitely is not something I can dig into in the database.

  • FadyenRoss Ross McFadyen (@FadyenRoss) reported

    @CoalitionGears @Kate_JRayner @colinpenty You need to fix gears 5 pronto

  • Rennix_ Rennix (@Rennix_) reported

    @Vernon_McFadden @BlizzardCS @PezRadar They previously allowed multiple hyphens but now seem to only allow a single hyphen, but the issue seems to be something on the backend after the renaming process.

  • KevinNjegovan Kevin Njegovan (@KevinNjegovan) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix offline customization for gods sake. This is so broken without a server connection now that if you don't fix it at least have the decency to put online connection required in the Microsoft store description

  • Rennix_ Rennix (@Rennix_) reported

    @PezRadar I am playing D2R on Xbox series x and was prompted to rename one of my mules who had two hyphens in their name. After renaming it, they fail to join every game I make. Is this a known issue? This is on SP btw.

  • BlockedUno Blocked Uno (@BlockedUno) reported

    @PezRadar Day 2: It was so hard to find people. I will cancel the NSO trial and switch back to offline mode until patch 2.5 or 3.0 add a fix to find people in console. Great ladder start tho. Servers are smooth (feel bad for EU day 1) but the new code for servers is a good job done 💯/💯.

  • Rennix_ Rennix (@Rennix_) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PezRadar Thanks for the reply. I assume you mean the console region? If so, I just tried that and still getting the failed to join error.

  • FadyenRoss Ross McFadyen (@FadyenRoss) reported

    @CoalitionGears You need to fix gears 5 it’s not working right

  • ShirtsvSkinsFPL ShirtsVSkins FPL (@ShirtsvSkinsFPL) reported

    @PezRadar Great ladder launch last night 🙌 I had zero issues playing the whole night. Please give consoles a better lobby system. 🙏

  • REDPURPLEBLOOD1 Red (@REDPURPLEBLOOD1) reported

    @GearsofWar Nooooo, please don’t :( The hive builder is so fun, I only wish it was expanded upon even more :( And why remove it so late as well, surely it can’t be causing any problems with anything

  • sideburnsofdoom Discouraged Oblong (@sideburnsofdoom) reported

    @GearsofWar With gears 5 support stopping, please consider finally updating ultimate edition on windows 10. We've been waiting years for an fps fix

  • K1ll3rXtreme XtremeK1ll3r (@K1ll3rXtreme) reported

    @UnJoueurDur @CoalitionGears AAA cooperative and competitive game experience you really think these guys are not working 98% on Gears 6? lmao tactics its such a waste of time 🤡

  • AndrewCount AndrewYo (@AndrewCount) reported

    @Malrx4 @cydoz_ @GearsofWar Expectable. Tactics is far newer and had fewer discounts before. Plus Gears 5 is a multiplayer game at the end of its live-service phase. It would be weird if Gears 5 had more sales lol.

  • Riphade Riphade (@Riphade) reported

    @BERSERKER_THiiS @OfficialXboxU @CoalitionGears Maybe the horrible story that was seen coming a mile away? The **** tier MTX? Crappy modes and ruined horde? Bad and cringy dialog? 40 representative flags but only one is America? Horribly implemented coop? Broken saves? Character death choice that WON'T pan out in G5?

  • NapalmSavage NapalmSavage77 (@NapalmSavage) reported

    @SASxSH4DOWZ @GearsofWar Really enjoyed the mode but the limitations in place held it back almost as much as the community's desire to shun anything that wasn't for the pvp modes. Tile based design felt repetitive super fast after a few maps. Budget issues, spawning issues etc. Lotta missed potential

  • Ej_Scorpion Edgar Guerrero (@Ej_Scorpion) reported

    @CoalitionGears Please fix Gears UE Windows achievements

  • ProGear360 Whoopsie-Gear (@ProGear360) reported

    @GearsofWar 📂 Gears 5 └📁 More Content More Often └📂 ERROR ❌

    @GearsofWar can you fix your servers. Saturdays are for the GEARS

  • TrickyMickMinin Tricky Mick Mining (@TrickyMickMinin) reported

    @OfficialXboxU @CoalitionGears No one will live up to Crash's legacy with the PlayStation.

  • SierraYonel ¥Ѻ₪Ψїї³³🌹🇵🇷 (@SierraYonel) reported

    @GearsofWar Where’s arcade mode it’s been 1year and you guys @GearsofWar said you we’re gonna fix it 😮‍💨😔

  • jericon Will Gunty 💙 (@jericon) reported

    @Rennix_ @PezRadar Every game or every game on that character? What error message?

  • Rennix_ Rennix (@Rennix_) reported

    @PezRadar @BlizzardCS Yeah I’m fully up to date. My friend is having this issue too and tried reaching out to @BlizzardCS and they told him to submit a ticket which we can’t because it asks for logs from pc or mac.

  • FuzzleFizzle Fuzzle Fizzle (@FuzzleFizzle) reported

    @Punk_N_Pi3 @itznazz313 @CoalitionGears then what is??? del? them being aware that a one dictator tyranny is fascism? The all around pessimism about the old history of the planet, and hopeful tone that the new generation will fix it??

  • Rennix_ Rennix (@Rennix_) reported

    @jericon @PezRadar “Failed to join game” is the full error

  • AaronGl93748766 Aaron Glenn (@AaronGl93748766) reported

    @PezRadar Who cares really!! You guys have literally Lost 80-90 percent of your console players because you won’t add players command until YOU guys get chat and lobbies figured out!! Quick fix idk why that would be SOO hard to do!! 7-8 months later and console players have gotten NOTHING!

  • cjdig86 cjdig86 (@cjdig86) reported

    @jared_rosmarin @GearsofWar Not to be annoying, but what exactly is the glitch?
