Attending Our Events

If you haven’t attended any of our events or heard of Gears Community Online Network (GCON) before here is what will be going on Friday, January 20th. We will be hosting different types of Custom, Cooperative, and Public Lobbies that everyone is welcome too join. Lobbies will start opening at 5:30 PM EST. To join a match, simply message a host with the Developer you want to play with from the list that we will post on Friday about thirty minutes before the event starts..

• Themed Multiplayer Lobbies: Our private multiplayer lobbies. Play with other community members on connection and personality-tested hosts for some great community experiences. This season also marks the return of our old school “GCON themed” nights, which adds new twists to your Gears of War 3 experience. Don’t forget, these multiplayer lobbies count towards earning those Onyx Medals for your profile too!

• Cooperative Multiplayer Lobbies: We now offer dedicated hosts for Arcade, Horde, and Beast mode at every single Community Night event in the future. We’re also assisting all our cooperative hosts in unlocking as many mutators as possible so you don’t have to.

• Public Multiplayer Lobbies: For those of you simply looking to get into the action online with some new friends, we’ll be running public lobbies throughout each event.

Community Night - Friday January 20th, 2012
Event Lobbies open at 5:30 PM EST and will close at 8:30 PM EST

To win a prize entry ticket, simply play and finish a full match in one of the GCON hosted lobbies for the night to earn an entry into the prize draw. You may earn only ONE entry per Community Night event, no matter how many full matches you play over however many different lobbies.

Once the event is over, we'll gather all the attendee lists and draw a winner at random using Random.org's number generator. Winners will be drawn on the Wednesday after the event. Winners will then be contacted via Xbox Live message and listed in the thread by gamertag - you will be given 7 full days to contact us before the prize is forfeited.

If you are a returning fan, we are running on a completely different system than before - there will be NO end of season prize draw. Prizes will be awarded on a per-event basis.

They will be, but don't message them, you'll message our hosts!

[CJ 1825]

Will do!!

[Rukey]

Any idea as to which Devs will be playing? Maybe I didn't read the OP thoroughly enough.

[rondeau04]

I will def be there. Looking forward to another awesome night hosted by you guys.

[CJ 1825]

Another question:

Our standard rule for these events is 2 matches per room and then we'll cycle in an entire new group to join us. Everyone will get a chance to play and we'll ensure that it happens!

Is this per host/developer, or per person at all?? In other words, can we play two matches with one host/developer, then join (an)other one(s) later?? Could we even join the same host/dev again at a later time?? Or are we put on a reject list after playing the two matches with any host/dev??

[razorsharpxNLx]

im in :P
(10chars)

[Milky Pirate]

Ah these are always fun.

[evilchris2003]

Yes the 2 match cycle is rotate people out to make sure everyone gets a chance to play

You can message another host afterwards

[CJ 1825]

You can message another host afterwards

Thats what I wanted to hear. Thanks!!

[III URBAN III]

[evilchris2003]

Of course, they will be in Game chat. They all play from their test lab in the office

[TAO Devil]

Hoping Ill be able to host, although a Friday night is pushing it, since I don't even get home until 5:30

[III URBAN III]

Well ive got my question prepared already.

"When the flythrough of the maps come out, can we have the Slab revealed 1st"?

Yes.....hope it doesnt bug them to much

and oh oh..... cant we have the theron elite armour as black as Raams

that is all....

[G E A R S III]

ohhh... nice!!

[HMS Sour Diesel]

This should be fun!

LOL you can ask what you like within reason.
I doesnt happen often but occasionally one person will harrass the dev(s) they get banned from the event and any future ones
The point is you get to ask them questions and tell them about their game

Going on and on about say a particular weapon may not be a good idea though

Hmmmm wonder which weapon(s) that might be. They are blatantly going to get bombarded with people asking for weapon nerfs and buffs, im going to steer clear of that though im happy with all the current weapons

[PureFunkayy]

This shall be fun!

[lost soul99 nl]

Definitely will try to create a space to host this event!

[MattZTS]

Any idea as to which Devs will be playing? Maybe I didn't read the OP thoroughly enough.

I know Chris answered these already, but I am gonna anyway lol. The list of the Devs should be up soon. We are waiting for 100% confirmation of who is playing before we post the list.

Another question:

You can try joining other lobbies after your 2 matches. We have to rotate out lobbies since demand is usually very high. We do this so everyone gets a chance to play with a Dev.

I dont undrstand how this works im thick

Will we actually get to speak to the devs?

Yes you can speak to them. You can ask them almost anything. Keep in mind any harassing or trolling will get you booted from the event very quickly. You will not get another invite from another host either.

Hmmmm wonder which weapon(s) that might be. They are blatantly going to get bombarded with people asking for weapon nerfs and buffs, im going to steer clear of that though im happy with all the current weapons

Yeah there is always gonna be some one complaining about weapons. They can ask, but to keep going on and on might get them banned from the event.

Just remember the Devs are coming to have fun just like us. They are staying at work late just to play with us. So be respectful and we will all have fun.

[Vexta]

Nice! I'm going to try and move the Xbox so I can stay up for this one and fall asleep on the spot if I get tired

[GOWKratosCole]

[Time]
