  @GearsofWar The beta is epic, but the crash issues on PC are a problem. Playing today I experienced two screen freezes and the game crashed with 3 of my friends ;(

  @GearsofWar @NVIDIAGeForce @alternate_de hopefully it doesn't crash the event like the beta crashed PCs and XBOX SERIES Xs

  @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Can we plz fix the diamond rank not showing

  @ItsAhki_ @GearsofWar The lancer is so broken the shotgun is pointless. Gears is about smart aggression, not sitting still with an automatic. The tuning was fine. Now it’s insanely broken. Especially in ranked.

  I love Gears of War. Its been in my life for 20 years. EDay is heading in the right direction for the series for sure. OG gears fans need to understand that bringing in new players is going to require compromise so the game we love will stay alive. Feedback from the beta: Weapons - Lancer Proto: Revert the damage buff and increase accuracy a little. Reduce stopping power slightly. There's really no way to move around it unless you smoke Lancer Mk1: Make the accuracy worse Gnasher: Reduce gib range just a hair and smoothen damage drop off. Make the pellet pattern 100% consistent (if it isnt) Snub: Reduce damage slightly Incinerator: Fix odd issues trying to shoot from slide or cover tansition. Reduce Magazine size to 2 Gut Puncher: No spare ammo, its too strong Hammerburst: This weapon felt good Vulcan: I think its in a good spot Grenades in general: Adjust throw distance, its just a little too short. Tagging enemies should come back. I think thats a fair compromise to remove mines Longshot: This weapon is in a good spot Movement: Remove UpA speed boost. Movement should be consistent across the board Wallbouncing is in a good spot. Its fast if you do it right. Hyper bouncing is unrealistic (this is good) Sliding: Fix weird collision inconsistencies. If you slide into team mates or bodies you can literally disappear, died to this several times. Sprinting: I personally do not like how slow it is to turn the camera when sprinting, but I understand why it is this way. My only real problem with sprinting is the shooting delay from sprint. 15 years of muscle memory is gone since Im so used to shooting immediately out of a roadie run. Im not sure how to fix this or why its even in place, but worth discussing. Adjusting this may help the gnasher against rifles too. Mantle kick should come back, not sure about cover yank but mantle kick was fine. The Beta has been great so far. I've been waiting for years for another gears game and this one is poised to deliver a great experience. One thing TC, please do not cave to the gnasher only community and make the sole focus of the game gnasher wallbouncing. Everyone touts Gears 3 as being the best (myself included) and in 3 you could spawn in with a RETRO LANCER/SAWED OFF. All of the weapons worked and filled their roles perfectly. That should be the true end goal. The tunings in 3 rarely changed if at all. Please stick to this mentality. Nobody likes learning a new tuning every month, it's terrible. Make ONE tuning and stick to it across all game modes (no "competitive" tunings, they divided the already small player base). I cant wait to play the actual game in October. Its going to be a long wait. #gearsofwar #Eday @CoalitionGears

  Give #gearsofwar a chance they have problems but it’s a beta. Let them have a chance to hear your complaints so they can make the game better. 🤞

  @BigTasteX @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Well I don't actually use fullscreen. I swap from bordless, to fullscreen, and back to borderless, and it fixed a weird frame capping issue. Is this stuttering happening in horde siege or versus or both?

• 
  Big Taste (@BigTasteX) reported 13 minutes ago

  @Silverwve @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Ah, I wasn’t having frame capping issues, but for whatever reason switching to full screen gave me an fps boost. I don’t play versus so I’m talking exclusively in horde.

  TAO Devil (@TAO_Devil) reported 14 minutes ago

  @TYPOGRAPH1C @GearsofWar 1) 100% 2) I think they need a *slight* uptick in damage but overall mostly agree. 3) The gnashing was never supposed to be THE gun. We just took it and MADE it be one. And then screamed bloody murder anytime a "fix" was suggested/applied lol

  @GearsofWar Please fix the gnasher aiming

  Please @CoalitionGears do what call of duty did. Port the old Gears of War games on next gen consoles please. Trying to play gears 3 now is pretty much impossible with lag, cheaters, and no American players. Gears 2 The delay is awful. Everyone loved that call of duty did it.

  @GearsofWar Your beta has cheaters now. The multiplayer will be dead within a month like Gears 4 if you don’t address this issue

  Can we get some conversations going about the issues with the beta or just get some hype going talking about the positives? @Community_Gears @GearsofWar If you can make a shady post because you made a typo about aim assist, ya'll can have the Community Manager speak to us.

  I would make a video on literally everything needed to fix every gears of war. But everything goes in one ear and out the other with the community and the developers. Good luck @GearsofWar. I can tell you got paid before the game ever sold a copy.

  Spoons (@Silverwve) reported 35 minutes ago

  @BigTasteX @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Maybe bottleneck but big doubt with this game. I have seen at least 1 issue with framerate capping. For me, it's capping me at 75 FPS. No idea if that's the same for everyone, but my fix is to change my game from borderless fullscreen to exclusive, and then back to borderless

  @KillaRTSCam @GearsofWar at least it's better than the slide fest that is wall bouncing. the fact that you have an issue with it proves my point

  @GearsofWar Problems going on now is so worrisome.. no communication and transparency is going to kill the support.. anyway, looking forward to campaign and private horde games, cause teammates suck..

• 
  Hartley Scott (@TCGHarT) reported 42 minutes ago

  @GearsofWar Excited for eday. If you all fix the shooting to come out of the gun instead of center screen it'll be peak. I would suggest gears 3 style.

  @GearsofWar Canceling Pre order- this game is ***. You all need to quit video games especially Matt Searcey - proof you are corporate greedy share holder simps. Forcing Ray Tracing is redundant- disable RT NOW! Up it to 5 man squads - NoW - push back release and fix the clunky camera lock.

  @Community_Gears @GearsofWar I’m having major sound issues with this game and this game only. The audio is constantly skipping and cutting out and is literally unplayable on PC for me.

  Tyler’s Ambition (@EssLimitless) reported 45 minutes ago

  Gears of War: E-Day is great… it just needs a couple things fixed: • Fix the Gnasher • Buff the Gnasher • Nerf the Gnasher • Make the Gnasher one-shot again • Stop the one-shots • Bring back 8 shells • Keep the 6 shells but make active reload better • Wall bounce is dead, bring it back • Wall bounce is still too strong, kill it • Cover cancels feel locked and slow • Cover cancels are too free • Movement has too much momentum • Movement has no weight • Bring the roadie run back • The new upright sprint is mid • Hit detection is trash • Hit detection is better than Gears 5 • Aim assist is broken • Aim assist doesn’t exist in Versus • Audio is dog water • Directional audio needs a complete overhaul • Crashes every 3 matches • Matchmaking takes 10 years • Crossplay is broken • PC cheaters already everywhere • EAC is useless • Ban macros • Controller support on Steam is a joke • MnK feels floaty • Mouse sensitivity is wrong • Deadzones are broken • Visual popping everywhere • Cover is inconsistent • Out of bounds still happens • Blood is too clean • Not enough gibs • Not enough execution animations • Marcus looks too young • Marcus looks too old • Dom’s voice is off • Bring back classic Horde instead of Horde Siege • Horde Siege is actually fire though • Add custom lobbies • Add more maps already • Fix the Lancer • Buff the Lancer more • Nerf the Lancer • Projectile travel time feels weird • Ballistics are too realistic • Make it feel more like Gears 1 • Make it feel more like Gears 3 • Make it feel more like Gears 5 but fixed • Fix the camera when sliding • Sliding is too strong • Sliding is useless • Jumping is pointless • Why can I even jump • Film grain and chromatic aberration can’t be turned off • Performance mode still dips • Series S hitching • 150 FPS cap in beta was criminal • Shaders take forever • Skip intro logos already • More blood. Always more blood. Once these are all fixed I think we’re headed in the right direction. Thanks. @CoalitionGears @XBOX

  @Riskit4TB @GearsofWar @XBOX And normally I buy every console but literally the series console is beyond ******* pointless. Im interested in Fable too guess what I can get it on Playstation i was interested in Halo campaign i can get it on Playstation Thats the problem right there.
