xhunterrrr Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Epic sure knows how to keep the players busy with monotonous, repetitive transvestite bullshit. Transvestite? Not really sure what that has to do with the achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tained sainity Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 It's quite a smart list if anything it rewards you for playing the game types so many times that by the time you have the achievement for said gametype you know whether or not you like and want to continue playing it for level 50 and re-ups.

cjdavies Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 No Horde mode achievements, so no Horde in this game , will have to wait a few months for a price drop then as only interested in SP and Horde and since no Horde I won't touch the MP.

Hurricane Of 87 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Out of all the people who have it early and are being tracked on Exophase/TA I see that no-one has unlocked any of the 3 Insane difficulty related achievements. (Lion Heart/Superstar/Seriously J) Can't wait to taste the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednacht Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 wonder if the free for all achievement can be done in private games Doesn't specifically state "matchmaking", so hopefully it can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ii SlayerX Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 1. Matchmaking achievements can all be done in private match 2. The collectables are all extremely easy to find as there is only one Cog tag per level. Their location is always around the red cog/skull logo which you will find on a wall. 3. Getting all 126 stars was easy playing on normal and each section of game has a Declassified option to activate. Use them to earn stars faster. Each section is limited to earning 3 stars.

Thank GOD. 2. It is nice that the cog tags are now marked. 3. Have you done any declassified missions on insane yet? Think Seriously Judgmental will be extremely hard? Would you recommend going for three stars on every mission on casual/normal before going through on insane? Or should I go for Super Star and Seriously Judgmental all in one playthrough?

Think Seriously Judgmental will be extremely hard? Would you recommend going for three stars on every mission on casual/normal before going through on insane? Or should I go for Super Star and Seriously Judgmental all in one playthrough? I have done a few solo on Insane and they havent been horrible... yet. A few tries each. There are going to be some that will be complete nightmares since they throw a fuckton of Ragers at you along with a bunch of Boomers/Grinders and grenadiers. With a group it will be easier instead of relying on the AI. I would recommend doing everything on Normal first just so you know what youre getting into. When you choose to activate a Declassified mission (A massive glowing cog/skull symbol on the wall at the beginning of each area) it adds another factor into that area. Some examples are enemies will have One-shots, more enemies, vision is impared due to leaking gas, you only have 3 minutes to complete this section etc. You will earn your stars faster if a declassifed mission is activated and you goal is to get 3 stars. You earn stars by getting kills. Earning ribbons or getting gibs fills the bar faster. When you get downed, the bar slowly goes down so if you are constantly getting downed, you wont be able to get 3 stars. If you can get 3 stars you can go down with no penalty. At the end of each area you have the option to retry if you want to get 3 stars before continuing on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you need an insane partner, let me know. I go out of town on the 22nd but I should be able to play some before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go out of town on the 22nd but I should be able to play some before then. AI temmate kills do count towards stars and their only benefit is that when they go down, the bar does not drain. This may seem helpful but I tried to let them do all the work solo Insane and they all just kept going down and no one but me was around to revive them. For sure, shoot me a FR. Im available virtually everynight after 5pm EST except Wednesdays. If youre picking the game up on release day, we can start then if those times work for you.

Yeah, IGN docked Judgment for incompetent AI teammates. Glad to know they contribute to stars, but don't cause loss of stars. I pre-ordered from the MS store with 2-day shipping. No idea if it will get here tomorrow or Wednesday (or if it will even be delivered tomorrow because of a snowstorm moving in). So, if I have it in time, we will play!

He was activated yesterday and a couple Epic devs are using the skin for the first week. Check those forums for the list of GTs using the Reaper. Good luck running into him to get that skin/medal!

I have the list of GTs and I have raczilla (community manager) in my recent players list and a few saved msgs from him since we played together a whole lot on Saturday and was talking back and forth. Im going to stalk around and try to join any game in progress he is in. Not a fan of the weapon skin but I really do love the medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eating Machine Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Is there no Seriously 4.0 in this gears where you have to unlock every single onyx medal and reach level 50 or re up to the max. Im surprised, maybe there will be one attached to one of the dlcs. I have nearly done my seriously 3.0 in gears 3 and I got the game on day 1 although I did take a 9 month break to play other games.

bloodstainedwings Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 How many stars are in hardcore mode, because am trying to get 100 starts and am stuck on the Vaults section with smoke in the air. I can not for the life of me get 3 stars solo, I have been a hair away from doing so a few times. Do i need to do more executions? The AI goes DBNO a lot and it takes away star power but there is not much i can do to help that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
