GOTTA MOVE
ALPHAS WAITING

>>163644732

when are these harsher quitting penalties being added. is tc just fucking lying again?

people that quit should have their game uninstalled and their disk broken inside their xbox

>ever being truthful

>>163645612
I'd say a quitting penalty would be nice for public horde but then I think back to all those games where I had to leave early because either someone else left already or I had to go because people weren't moving or just playing horribly.

>>163646069
no fuck that, public horde just needs a vote kick system and an option to join mid-match

what did we do to wind up with TC?

>>163647350
Maybe Microsoft should stop forcing out sequels of their prized IPs after the original studios have long since moved on.

Same thing happened with Halo and 343.

Create new IPs and new brands.

Starting to see bot filling in more and more matches... the first two weeks it was teeming with players and I only saw a bot briefly, now they're sticking around for a round or two.

BREAKING:

BIG BUSINESS LIKES MONEY

>>163647903
this has been happening since before Gearsmas even

>>163648302
SHOCK AND DISMAY
BOOTS ON THE GROUND CONFIRMED

>>163647654
I don't mind milking, but it should be done with more of the fans in mind and they need to plan things out for what they know is going to happen if the series is going to continue. Not dumb shit like killing off fan favorites like Dom and Myrrah in lame, anti-climactic ways.

>>163650289
>Myrrah
>fan favorites
Wat

>>163651230
What? I'm a fan and she's my favorite

Man, people can be pretty mean online.

I got a Bone for Christmas! Was the Gears bundle too so just waiting on the downloading and updates. I was playing on my brother's account until now so i got to start over at level 1 which sucks but i guess i start over knowing the optimal strats for credit earning and stuff.

Merry Christmas /gowg/. Fuck the jews.

>>163666619
Even if the price did get reduced you'd hear people complaining about how they payed so much more for them before the reduction. It's a lose-lose situation.

Still one that shouldnt have happened in the first place. I look at these mobile-tier microtransactions every time starting up the game and just feel sad that this is what a sizable portion of the industry deems acceptable.

Merry Christmas /gowg/ from /hg/

Anyone know why i cant update the game on windows store and it keeps trying to redownload the whole game?

Everyone come back and post their favorite Christmas gift.

I'll do like a $10 gift exchange with any pcfags. Happy holidays.

4 actually cool characters, a shitload of decent weapon skins, RNG up the ass with 4400 cr asking price.
>tfw been grinding for more because I still need both elites

>>163661091
Not funny, Lewd has been dead for six months now.

>>163685376
Yeahrip

Hit a 1-50 Insane run with randoms today, of course I only had my 1-20 bounty on.

>>163686686
Whats required for an insane run

>>163686824
a 1-20 bounty in public horde

>>163686824
Technically nothing I guess, but there's definitely some recommendations depending on who you play with and what class you're using. A premade group could carry you through a run, but if you're playing a public game you're going to have to carry your weight.

>>163687213
>>163687398
Oh no im sufficiently skilled and leveled, i just want to know the best tactics and cards

>>163684790
4400 is a fucking scam

What's your guess on how long UIR boxes will be available for?

>>163689829
week tops, won't be available again until this time next year

>>163689829
a month

>>163679095
Got my 144Hz monitor, holy shit the difference is massive.

>>163684790
>a shitload of decent weapon skins
to be fair, the only decent skins are some of the UIR Elite ones, the UIR green ones are absolute trash.

>>163692195
yeah too bad most games will never hold that frame rate

>>163693435
My 980Ti holds everything there mostly fine.

>>163695204
what games are you playing?

>>163695838
DOOM, Gears, Titanfall 2.

I'm running at 1080p though so thats the reason.

>>163696073
yeah that makes sense, just got a 1070 myself, and will only be at 1080p, but those 3 games are all very well optimized

Canadians? Joos? bad news

>>163672935
too bad for people who bought in a rush i guess.

if they chopped the price in half a lot of people would applaud them, compared to a few bitching about MUH CREDITS. Now they'll get no support from anyone who either bought or didn't buy the UIR packs and will continue to be lambasted for being the moose-riding syrup jews that they are.

This pack shit has to come to some sort of end eventually, they can't go on with this. Sadly I think it's the community that will knuckle under.

GIVE ME INSANE HORDE STRATS

>>163702291
Do you mean knuckle down or buckle under?

>>163669330
PR hack is a shit job like working at Walmart except they actually look at your resume and grill you when you try to become a PR hack. It's a retarded job that nobody in their right mind today would take.

>>163702643
they'll buckle their knuckles is what i meant

>>163702750
yeah why would anyone want it?

>>163702884
So they'll just leave or give in you mean? Cause i cant see people sticking this out at the rate it's going. There's lots of games out there and the Bone doesnt have many exclusives in the first place. People can find their gaming fix elsewhere and without the microtransaction mobile shit going on.

>>163703257
neither of the consoles have many exclusives worth playing

>>163703402
Worth playing maybe, but the Bone doesnt have many exclusives period. Less things to keep them even on the system, let alone playing this one title.

>>163703257
I think they'll grind like sad MMORPG addicts to buy packs that don't give them what they want and rationalize it as 'well at least im not paying'

at some point im going to get tired of playing for hours to get zero rewards... when this happens, if playing the game isn't rewarding enough itself * I'll be switching to pretty much anything else. i don't play a lot of vidya and only play MP stuff so i can hang out with my younger brother online, I'm not wasting time on something that feels like a chore.

*seems like its taking longer and longer to load games, more bot slots are going unfilled for longer and there's more shitters standing around AFK and throwing the game. If i can't have more armored waifus/ brocust bros, what's the point in playing?

>>163703938
they both have a decent amount of "exclusives" if you don't count PC ports
but yeah Xbox needs more, Sony can just churn them out because every gook wants to put their shit on their system regardless if it will sell or not. Thankfully I'm an idort so none of this matters to me.

>>163704025
I dont know, this isnt really the MMO audience, which would be one thing. I cant see the typical Gears playing adopting a grinding mentality for this one title. Especially on shit that on a flat out visible scale doesnt amount to shit.

Grinding for over an hour to get skirt-Reyna? Wow, look at my leet drops guys. R-right?

>>163701208
Around TC

You pay a fee

Are the UIR packs up again?

>>163708206
tomorrow

>>163707506
noice

>>163713731
no u

oy fucking vey

they need to add vote kicking

Just done my first horde insane run. Easy!

TFW It was my first time past wave 10 on insane because people always just left the game -_-

>>163717823
at least you had decent teammates

I see that alot of people in here are saying that Horde sucks cause of how people always leave, soon there will be /gowg/ lobbies for Horde, and I mean like tomorrow, where we speedrun through it.

If you guys want in, there'll always be priority to /gowg/ over random Discord cucks.

>>163720058
Horde needs a votekick option

Dont die

>>163721084
And a join in the middle option.

>>163727991
yup, they do those and it will be perfect
I'm tired of shitters and griefers

goodnight /gowg/ hope you all had a nice christmas

>>163728807
>can't get past wave 5 without half the team leaving on insane pub horde games

JUST

Wallbouncing doesn't help you

>>163729754
Frequent quitters of horde should be marked and only be put into lobbies with other frequent quitters. That way they can all quit together and the others who like to stay can all stay together.

>>163733743
If you're bad at the game it doesn't

Fucking this. Jesus fucking Christ the amount of times I've been pissed off by it all.
Even when they players aren't any good, if they're even trying, they're better than nobody at all. But when they're not trying and instead just spam the hammer of dawn despite not having earned the points to do so, that also pisses me off.
And people leaving before fucking wave 10 even. I really do think they ought to get banned from good players horde games, fuck them all. Let them have their own games, like GTAV does for the trolls.

Even though this general almost dies all the time, I'm glad about this general. I've met some cool people from here and we actually talk about the game here. We're not like other generals that shitpost about fuck all, praise mentally ill trap faggots, constantly fight about Teamspeak or Discord drama or have retarded name fags spouting garbage only looking for (You)'s. Of course there is the merchant posting when absurdly priced packs come out but that's justified. Love you /gowg/. Merry Christmas.

>>163738027
Love you too lewd, Merry Christmas

>>163738027
Dont you mean Gearsmas?

A bump in the middle of the night.

Help you what?

Pre active reloading was a mistake.
