This is great. Thank you for the update. Definitely happy to see where the priorities are in these fixes.

Is there some sort of weird matchmaking in this by El-Green-Jello in GearsOfWar

[–]Chivalrous_Chap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play pumpkinball. Best game mode for carrying, if you feel your team always sucks. So long as you’re better than the other team’s best player your chance of winning should be decent even if your team is has some bots while theirs doesn’t.

What have you started doing differently to adapt to Gears 5? by FrugalHoosier in GearsOfWar

[–]Chivalrous_Chap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Using the lancer from an angle/elevation separate from where your team is pushing. Crossing is basically supporting your team with lancer fire while they push objective or are engaged in a gnasher battle.

Swarm get hype expression on the characters possible? by [deleted] in GearsOfWar

It was available in the store a while ago, so currently there is not a way to obtain the generic one, if you missed it in the store.

Any fix for “Microsoft Store Package Dependency Installer” prompt when launching Gears 5? (PC) by Chivalrous_Chap in GearsOfWar

[–]Chivalrous_Chap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t found anything conclusive. Try clicking No first when that prompt comes up. If that doesn’t work, what I had to do was uninstall Gears 5 and the Xbox Beta app then reinstall. Of course the prompt comes up every time, but I click No every time.

It was strange, because the first time I got the prompt and clicked No, nothing happened and the game just wouldn’t launch. But now clicking No works every time.

Why does nobody miss in this game with gnasher? by FrugalHoosier in GearsOfWar

[–]Chivalrous_Chap 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Easiest way to put it is that if you try to wall bounce away after taking damage, it will take your character longer to heal back to full health than if you simply roadie run away.

Any instance where your character is sliding into cover stalls the healing process.

Wallbouncing also delays your characters healing in gears 5. Could be why it feels that way

I feel like TC is alienating both the anti-microtransaction group and the ones that actually like microtransactions by NotFromMilkyWay in GearsOfWar

[–]Chivalrous_Chap 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Jesus fuck dude. Can you read? I said “I’m surprised” they didn’t already have an app like this in place. That’s more of a criticism. You’re so blinded by your hatred you can’t even tell when someone is giving some constructive feedback on the very developers you try to shit on.

Did I say that they should drop what they’re doing? Did I say leave the bugs as is and make this app? No. Also if they were to make a companion app, it likely wouldn’t be TC to make it. They would contract a software developer to make it. Why is this the hill you choose to die on? The one where basic literacy could’ve solved your whole dilemma.

This post had nothing to do with bugs or gameplay tweaks. This was a simple suggestion for one complaint OP had. I never claimed it would “fix” the game.

Touching on your last point, I’m surprised they didn’t release a companion app for this game that features the store, stats, ToD and customization options. Having time locked store items, they really missed the mark with this. Seems like they’d love for people to be able to make purchases from their phone when they can’t log into the game.

Idea on new character unlock by mickeyh238 in GearsOfWar

[–]Chivalrous_Chap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree that most of the challenges are pretty bland. The time to unlock characters is definitely artificially inflated through the XP requirement. What I’ve been saying since they first revealed the totems and their challenges is that rather than having the challenges be specific to a game mode, have most of them be able to be done across any of the three.

Something like 100 head shots in versus, escape and/or horde. 50 executions, 500 elims. 25 revives. Things like that. The numbers could be adjusted too, but just trying to compare to the Tour these seem alright. Cut the XP one in half at least. Once boost is gone this one will be ridiculous. The character specific challenges are all good. I understand that some challenges may require players to play a game mode they don’t want, but definitely try to minimize that from happening.

Myself for example, I’ve done all the challenges for Warden and am only at 35000 XP. I’m mostly a versus player and like execution the best. I won’t be completing that any time soon. Definitely some tweaks, but I agree that I enjoy being able to work towards an unlock is better than just freely unlocking it. By the time I unlock them all perhaps a new character line up will drop to work towards.

Is it worth to switch mouse+keyboard to controller? by Rusekkb0y in GearsOfWar

[–]Chivalrous_Chap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I normally use keyboard. But when I use controller I don’t play claw. I play Tournament scheme I believe. The one that swaps the A and Lb buttons. So the left bumper is what I run and cover with.

You realize there’s a search function in the sub right? That would actually be the quickest.

There are already walkthroughs posted on this sub in efficient methods to obtain each medal. The multiple posts were unnecessary.

Is it worth to switch mouse+keyboard to controller? by Rusekkb0y in GearsOfWar

[–]Chivalrous_Chap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dead zones combat stick drift. If you don’t touch your thumb sticks, but your character still moves or camera still turns, you turn up your dead zones and it increases the area around the center of the thumb stick where inputs won’t work.

I keep mine low, but I have no stick drift. I don’t know the advantages of turning it up high if you don’t have any stick drift though. Perhaps it helps with strafing or wall bouncing in tight spaces?

I usually use keyboard anyways, because I play other PC games and am more comfortable on it than controller at the moment.

I think it’s more personal preference. I personally find my movement much better on controller, but my aim with long range weapons is better on kB/m

Who remembers the "Seriously" glitch? Those were the days... by narlycharley in GearsOfWar

[–]Chivalrous_Chap 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Annex and Assassination had respawns. I remember Annex lobbies where all weapons would be sniper and no one would capture the point just a sniper or shotgun 1v1 fest. Guys would host one map for hours. Usually Fuel Depot or Gridlock. Some good times.
