    http://epicgames.com/community/2012/...swered-part-2/

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Note: I will start adding in links to threads that support a specific issue...please post any links and which question they go with
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Questions
    Gameplay / Mechanics:
    • Why has the sponging greatly increased since Fenix Rising came out?
    • Why does the countdown timer for inactivity restart when an AFK player is killed?
    --some feel this can be exploited
    • Is anything about the power of the retro-2-piece (stab 'n spray) being looked at? (many feel it is overpowered)
    • Why did you make it so that weapon executions don't count as kills with the weapon?
    • Are there any plans for changing nades? (ink stun, blast radius, plant delay time, ect)
    • Do you see a large difference in play-style/movement on remakes when compared to their original?
    --Blood Drive, Gridlock, Raven Down, Clocktower, Bulletmarsh, Jacinto (though it was changed more than others)
    • Do you see a large difference in play-style between in-house play and public play?
    --If so, do you feel that this may be the reason some game modes or weapons are less popular with some of the community?
    • Now that Guardian is making a return, are there still going to be changes to CTL?
    • Why was the ability to headshot someone with the OneShot removed?
    --People would like to see that and headshots with silverback rockets.
    • Will we ever see the Savage Grenadier in Horde? (apparently there is a stat listed for him, but he never shows up)
    • Why can we take control of bots in campaign mode but not in versus?

    Game Audio/Video/Controls Aesthetics:
    • Would you be willing to add a new control scheme?
    -- there are some changes to the control scheme that many people would like to see.
    • Is there a reason that online, characters don't say as many lines as they do locally?
    --previously, you stated that there were memory issues, so battle cries and other lines weren't said
    --now, there is a concern that reload lines (for example), which are being said, aren't pulling from the full pool of lines
    • Are there any chances of adding a filter similar to the Lucid one that makes the game not so bright and cheery?
    • Why does the 'Events/Calendar' mainly show marketing things? Why can't it tell us more useful info
    --Also, why does it keep showing 'Season Pass Available' when we already have it?
    • How do you decide what 'theme' a map will have? -Snowy, dark, summer, ect....
    • Will we ever find out more about the lambent's "critical stage"?
    • Why isn't Queen Myrrah in Wingman?
    -She is easy to tell apart from others

    Other:
    • Can you talk at all about the servers? (many people feel that they are not playing on them)
    --people want a symbol to show they are on servers…or show connection strength
    --which countries are/aren't on servers?
    --Now that there are so many gametypes, how is the servers space divided up between them?
    • Are there any changes planned to be made to any playlists?
    --# of respawns, spawn locations, score to win, ect.
    • An chance of having a 'Foreshadowing Weekend' even to help with the foreshadowing achievement?
    • Is there any way to see which events we have participated int?
    --can you add a page to the ribbons that will show event ribbons?
    • Is there any information on GoW3 in the MLG circuit?
    --Are you disappointed that it isn't involved in MLC currently? (do you plan on making changes to help it's chances)
    • Are there going to be any events for GoW1 (help for seriously)?
    • Are you at all surprised by how quickly some of the Cleavers on FoN were found? (some even before 3/27)

    Statistic Questions:
    Achievements:
    • How many people don't have the 'Lambency' Achievement and have completed an online match?
    • How many people have "re-uped" a 2nd time?
    • How many people have the 'Ivory' skin?
    Other:
    • Can we get an update on the number of people using each weapon and playing each mode (like in October)
    --How is Guardian doing as far as number of players?
    --Possibly an update for 'since the game came out' and one for 'in the past month'
    • What percentage of people have completed Campaign and RAAM's Shadow on Insane?
    • What are the most used CoG and Locust?
    • What are the least used CoG and Locust?
    • What are the most used Weapon Skins?
    • What are the least used Weapon Skins?
    • What is the least used Weapon Execution? (starting weapons? all weapons?)
    • What is the highest number of chainsaw kills by any 1 player (total)?
    • What is the average KD ratio for Bots? (Ranked?, Social?, Total?)
    • What has been the most popular event? What about least popular?
    • How popular was 'Stay Frosty' compared to other normal playlist
    --It got a lot of hate on the forums...but did this hate show in the number of people who played
    • How many people have been banned? (any category statistics? - boosting, modding, ect)
    • How many people have played GoW3 (any mode)?
    • How many people have played an online VS game?
    • How many Easter Eggs still haven't been found? (Campaign, Horde, Beast, and MP)
    --Is there one on Each MP map?

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Non-Questions/Concerns
    Requests for Change:
    Changes:
    • Why isn't there Private Guardian? (is this something you would be willing to add?)
    • Can we get a better indicator showing where our teammates died (or make the indicater stay up for longer?
    --The the dead teammate emblem goes away really fast
    --GoW1 and 2 had the bubbles stay up for a while
    • Would you be willing to change the lvl 400 Wings?
    --They are too similar to lvl 100 (and they should look nicer than the others)
    --Many people also suggest a 5th re-up that can have better wings (white, black, Imulsion, ect)
    • Can the leader 'hand wave' be removed from Guardian
    --Possible solution: remove handwave, keep message, change button to remove message to 'Y'
    ----Shows people they are leader, gives smaller delay, and keeps people from spamming roll and missing the message
    --Possibly completely remove it in 'Ranked' play (they should know better)
    • Previously, Rod stated something along the lines of 'it is possible to get battle cries in MP turned back on'. Is there any update on this? Will anything be done?
    • On special event weekends (for horde) can we have 2 playlist options? (regular and event)
    -- Some people just don't want to play in the event
    • Will we ever get a 'Classic Stalemates' Option for private Warzone?
    • Will we ever get to keep the 'Classic Stalemates' option and 'Bleed-Out Time' option in private execution?
    • Can KotH spawning be changed so that a team doesn't spawn on the 'next' hill location?
    • Can the price of the Onyx Guard Bot be dropped (or have him improved)?
    -- He is extremely expensive once you take into account how much is needed to get up to him.
    -- He really isn't that good
    • Can we get a buff on the DBS in horde [and horde only]? (currently nobody uses it)
    • Why does the Execution gametype loading screen show Warzone rules? (can this be fixed)
    --When you go to play CTL, the loading screen before entering the match lists the rules for CTL
    --However, the loading screen before Execution shows the rules for Warzone
    • Can we get the 'Beta Exclusives' deleted off the 'unlocks' list (being we can't unlock them anymore)?
    Medals and Ribbons:
    --------we understand most of them, but there are that people still don't agree with you on some
    • Can the active reloads medal be changed to count in other modes?
    • Can the Explosives kills medal be changed so that mortar kills count towards it?
    • Can you change it so that smoke grenades detonating planted nades counts towards the Sapper Medal? Link Here
    --not sure if a bug or if intended...
    • Can the 'Aficionado' medal be changed to count normal campaign as well?
    • Can the 'Architect' medal be made to be obtainable more than once in a game?
    • Can ribbons that are currently only achievable with at least 2 people be made available in solo play?
    --previously, you said no...people wanted to know why.
    • Why isn't there a ribbon for winning a chainsaw duel?
    • Can the 'last man' and 'clutch' ribbons be changed achievable in Guardian?
    • Can reviving the leader in Guardian be changed to count towards saving the leader in CTL?
    • Can medals be removed from private? (people feel private takes away from the prestige of what Seriously3.0 should be)
    • Can medals' descriptions specify which game modes they're available in? (most say nothing about VS only)
    Additions:
    • Will there ever be a leaderboards/stats section for Guardian? (or will it always just be part of CTL)
    • Can a 'ready-up' feature be added to skip the countdown between waves of Horde?
    • Can a feature be added to custom lobbies to change all weapons to the same gun?
    --instead of changing each weapon on the map to sniper individually, have 1 option to change...and it changes all weapons
    ---sort of like 'set to default' but instead 'set to weapon' then choose the weapon
    • Can we get more options in private matches? (also, what about private Horde?)
    --Common thought on the forums is, "Why not make it so that you can scroll through options"
    • Can we get a none of the above option in Horde and Beast?
    • Can you please allow split-screeners to change loadout (by pressing 'A') between rounds and while dead?
    • Would you be willing to allow us to have 2 sets of default weapon skins? (1 for cog, 1 for locust)
    --in the next TU... we know it is UI, so it can't be done now
    • Can we get an option to turn off the 'Execution Rules' pop up?
    --when shooting a downed enemy by accident or something, the pop up takes up too much room
    • Can we have the 'No-HUD' option available in Campaign/Arcade?
    • Can we have the ability to play the weekend events in Private Matches while the event is going on?
    --Not for permanent use, but just for the duration of the event.
    • Can we get a random Weapon Skin or random Character Skin?
    --It is a UI issue, but would you be willing to do this in a future TU?
    • Can the ability to set up custom map rotation in private be implemented?
    • Can the ability to have 5 teams in Wingman be added for private matches (and private only)?

    Bugs/Glitches:
    Gameplay:
    • What is the status of Rank Resets?
    -- People are upset about the sticky being removed (issues forum)
    • Can we please get the issues with the zoom mechanics fixed? - Link
    • Is the 'game freezing' issue while playing Horde still being looked into?
    --Many people are having issues with Insane Horde freezing
    • Is the silverback leveling glitch being looked into?
    --If you have a silverback lvl 3 or higher, then play on an Xbox without the HCP...
    ---When you come back to your normal Xbox, your level will keep resetting
    • Is anything being looked at in terms of shooting through cover? (I'll link a thread if/when one is made)
    --Apparently there is a tree on sandbar that can be shot through, there is a wall at sniper spawn on coves that can be shot through
    • Is the issue of spawning as the wrong character being looked into (not a join-in-progress problem)
    -- Sometimes when in Private Horde, even if you start from the lobby, you will not get the character you chose
    Aesthetics:
    • Will there be a fix to allow players that have been reset access to the Flaming Retro Lancer
    --Anyone who has been reset (by the glitch) doesn't have access to it
    --Some people suggest to tie it to an achievement in the first week (so the stat doesn't get erased in a reset)
    • The Ivory skin isn't unlocking for some when the get the achievement...is this being looked at?
    • Can we get the glitched (0:00) times to be deleted off the Beast Leaderboards?
    • Can event scores for Beast and Horde be removed from the leaderboars? (some of these make is easier to obtain much higher scores)
    -'Beasts on the Cheap', custom beast characters, creepy crawly horde, april fool's horde, ect.
    • Will Anthony or Civi Anya's picture (top left) be fixed in elimination gametypes?
    --Currently he shows up as a generic COG
    --Currently she shows up as as regular Anya
    • Are the post game character images going to be fixed for Clayton Carmine?
    --currently he shows Marcus
    • In Wingman, there is no timer after matches and you are unable to quit until it loads the next map (can this be changed)
    --It is only for Wingman (all other modes work fine)

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    Second Written Q/A - Link

    Q: Are you going to continue to fine tune or change weapons?
    A: We feel that the changes we have made were good for the majority of players. While we could make some changes if necessary, we also want players to feel that they have a consistent experience with the weapons. We feel the weapons in the game are in a good state and we probably won’t be making many more changes, if any. We will however continue to have events and special playlists where the weapons will definitely have changes! Give us your feedback so we know which events are your favorites.

    Q: What is the best way to find out if you do make changes?
    A: There have been times when we have made some changes behind the scenes for testing purposes. No announcement was made because we wanted to get an honest reaction from players. If any further changes are made, we will announce them on the Epic Forums, Facebook and Twitter unless we are performing a short test.

    Q: Why does every weapon except for the sniper have an effective active reload?
    A: In multiplayer, if you land an active reload with the Longshot, your damage will increase for body shots by 20%

    Q: It would be cool if an active sniper could go through multiple enemies.
    A: While we love this idea, this would be too much of a code change for the current game. Please keep providing us with feedback like this, as there is always a chance for something to be used in a future game or even an event playlist.

    First Written Q/A - Link
    Q: Can you earn the achievements and the weapon skins Ivory and Fl4k in private matches?
    A: There are some achievements and skins in Forces of Nature you will not be able to unlock because there is no private guardian. If you see someone with these achievements and skins, you will know they did not get them from playing against bots.

    Q: Why do some have issues with the consistency of the mantle kick?
    A: We have found this is most prevalent when there are internet connection issues. We are continuing to investigate and collect data.

    Q: Why can’t I unlock the “We Few, We Happy Few” achievement?
    A: If you are having trouble unlocking any achievements, please post in the Gears of War 3 Issues forum so we can check into it.

    Q: Why aren’t all of the medals available across all game modes?
    A: By design, each gametype has its own medals. If you see someone with the Onyx Lancer Skin you will know they received it by getting 6,000 kills in multiplayer. That is quite an achievement. Commitment is rewarded.

    Q: Are there any plans to change the way the medals work?
    A: There are no plans to change the way the medals are distributed.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Will Anthony Carmines lines be fixed?

    Dude, I have the damn book. It IS possible to tell what enemies are coming by the minions; Lambent Wretches usually mean Lambent 'Zerker; Formers get you Gunkers; Savage Locust get you Corpsers; normal Wretches are bound to attract Reaver. Then there's a 33% either normal Berserkers or a Brumak appears on any Boss Wave. Most of the time is just random; it's prone to change.

    • Can we get more options in private matches? (also, what about private Horde?)
    -ex: DBNO Rules: Warzone, Execution, Hybrid (for different gametypes)
    --previously, you said that there isn't enough room
    ---Common thought on the forums is, "Why not make it so that you can scroll through options"
    ---You don't need to see all options at the same time
    • Can we get a random Weapon Skin or random Character Skin?
    --Previously, you said it was a UI issue
    --Is this something that you would be willing to change in a TU? - many people would like this
    • Can medals (currently for VS only) be made available to be earned in other game modes?
    --You said that it was being discussed...most of you want it to be for 'elite' online players while most players feel this isn't right
    --Is it still being discussed/what is the outcome can/when can we expect a change?
    --Medals like: active reloads, spots, revives, executions and numerous other generic medals
    --Not medals like: first blood, executioner, double, triple, ect
    • Why can't we earn medals/ribbons while playing Solo Beast or Solo Horde?
    -When playing Beast and Horde, you must have at least 2 people in the game to get ribbons or medals
    --You said that it was intended to be this way
    -Why is this?
    --Many people are mad about it
    -same as above, we are talking about generic medals (like founder, spots, executions, actives, ect)

    More Depth on Some Questions
    Zoom Mechanics
    The sniper and HB zoom mechanics are messed up

    Can we have Skorge and Cyclops?
    Maybe you should ask that seen as the Community want them.

    You can certainly ask it here but Epic isn't listening.

    Here is a thread about it.

    It would be nice if this was finally put in as a "question" instead on a "non" question concern.Could sure use a little "boost" to the Gears morale and this would definately be it.Thanks.

    Well, I didn't have it in there because it was known that they were working on it.
    But, with the removal of the sticky, this was added last week:

    Do you guys know that the mantle kick is incredibly inconsistent and terribly affected by lag? The inconsistencies are noticeable offline as well.

    This is in the OP:
    • Is anything being looked at as far as fixes for the Mantle Kick inconsistency (and when could we expect a fix)?

    I think we are going to leave it at that...
    ...any more, and you know what could happen

    What percentage of people have beaten both the campaign AND Raam's Shadow on insane. Not sure if this is possible because Raam's Shadow doesn't have an insane achievement for some reason.

    Can we re-issue the question as to why the Ribbons can not be obtained in Single player. This last broadcast he was asked the question and did not understand the meaning or completely hopped topics. This can be seen Here at approx 32 minutes into it. What he immediately jumps to is the debate about Oynx weapon skins being earned in horde. THIS IS NOT ABOUT MEDALS! I personally am completely in agreement with what he says and do not think at any point in time should the kills with weapons in horde count towards the Oynx medals of those weapons. HOWEVER I DO want to be able to achieve say, Flyswatter, and Founder, and The Quinn ALONE, in single player horde. I cant figure where he went wrong with that question as the kills in multiplayer horde with those weapons do not count. All us Lone Wolfs want is the Ability to play single player Horde and get everything we normally would if a friend joined us in a private match. As it is, people without two controllers are joining Standard Horde matches, building a command post for the Founder ribbon and quitting out. This is frustrating for everyone in that match. Allowing people to obtain that and all the other ribbons in single player horde would be benifical for anyone wishing to obtain/grind that medal, and anyone wishing to obtain any of the ribbons they need from this game-type for the Achievement. I strongly hope to encourage this question to be re-asked and understood in the improvement it would make to simply allow ribbons NOT weapon kills, to be obtained through single player horde.

    thanks

    Two questions:
    1- Is there any way to implement a 'ready up' feature to horde, to skip the countdown?

    2- Is there any way to implement a 'switch all weapons to' function in private versus, aka you just change that option, and it changes all spawns to the selected weapon.

    Why won't you implement permanently a mercenary playlist (or stranded however you want to call it, the point is without parties allowed) when most of the people play by themselves? (which kind of leads me into asking if they have statistics about the percentage of players that play alone vs in party, although I don't know if having those kind of statistics is possible, just so that we know the exact number, atlhough I bet it's more than 80%).

    The Matchmaking doesn't work very well. Will you improve it in any way?

    - The re-balance teams mechanic in Quick match when beggining a match is terrible and half the time puts players into 2v4's, 1v4's, 2v5's and even 1v5's situations. If that wasn't enough, when the next player joins, they get put on the team that already has more people. I get you don't want to break parties but if there's a party, put as many solo players (or other parties) as you can on the opposing team before adding players to the already existing party. Right now it seems to prioritize filling empty spots in teams with parties.

    - Matchmaking in Ranked would be decent if it wasn't putting solo players against parties all the time. Parties should go with parties and randoms with randoms. Then proceed to fill the empty slots with more solo players. But also try to take into account the level, not only True-skill.
    There's instances were low level's are put against higher level players. It's even worse when the higher levels are in a party.

    That's what I got for now.
    No per Merc playlist.
    It would take up one of their playlist spots...which is already too low of a number

    I see your point about parties...I'll try and condense that and add it later

    Both are good ideas

    Well, guess I will not get the one thing I would like to see in this game. Epic has ignored my question every time I ask on Twitter so, hope the answer to the VS medals in all game types will get answered. I doubt it will happen but, Epic might shock me!!! Seems to me the questions me and a lot of other want to know never gets answered.

    Any news on when we will hear answers to these questions that they said they will answer but, didn't have time to on the live stream? I have a feeling that they aren't going to answer them at all.

    I too want to know why there is no private Guardian. It seemed to be promised in the Rod stream and there was a download for the DLC so why was it just server added and not private enabled as well? I prefer to play private 4v4 matches with my budz and not play public anymore so I feel a little cheated and it sounds like i'm not alone.

    Can we have more customizability in Private multiplayer/horde/beast for example; Custom waves in horde/beast, spawn with (Insert weapon here) in multiplayer. Stuff like that like what EPIC does with special events but give US the option to do it ourselves in private.

    • Can we get more options in private matches? (also, what about private Horde?)
    -ex: DBNO Rules: Warzone, Execution, Hybrid (for different gametypes)
    --previously, you said that there isn't enough room
    ---Common thought on the forums is, "Why not make it so that you can scroll through options"
    ---You don't need to see all options at the same time
    And for special events...they said they don't want everyone to have that ability...so we added this:
    • Can we have the ability to play the weekend events in Private Matches while the event is going on?
    --Not for permanent use, but just for the duration of the event.
