lazyslothboy Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Kinda pissed right now. I know for a fact I did not do the thanksgiving event last year on account of me not owning the game yet and despite that I still haven't gotten the damn ribbon. I'm convinced that I cannot do it now and I likely won't bother checking if events I know I haven't done aren't counting for me. >< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fester Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Did you try playing other game mode before you played beast? No. Beast sounded fun. Popped in gears. After the match the achievement popped. I already had 29/30 when it was first given out. Almost done with beast now. Just need insane and one ribbon. Kinda pissed right now.

Right now, the current (repeat) event is from February. I know it's confusing. I hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that helps. It helps, though it doesn't improve my mood. Three weeks after they bump everyone up to 29/30 and even their supposed "new" ribbon doesn't work for me, its really gotten me flustered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjayars Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Thanks for your work on this thread and keeping it updated. Sucks for the people still waiting on their last ribbon. They still need to know when the event gets changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Papyrus Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Today's event is Thanksgibbing. If you haven't obtained this ribbon already, jump online and get it. Enjoy, and spread the word. http://gearsblog.com/archive/gearsweekend-happy-thanksgibbing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeexpectancy Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 OP updated, and just to confirm what was said above, don't confuse the names of the events. All that matters is the # in the cycle that they are. This event is a repeat of an event from February. Just because it's a Thanksgiving event does not mean it's a repeat of the event from last November. That's why my original post shows in () which event number in the cycle the current event is a repeat of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishoftheDragon Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Thanks for the heads up, was able to get my ribbon for Thanksgibbing tonight, but this only got me to so Im at 10 of 30. Was a little ticked when my nephew logged on to play (who was at 6 of 30) and found he was at 29 of 30 and got War Supporter after playing TDM.

So it's no longer increasing everyone to 29/30??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIMMALL Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 They are still jumping you to 29/30. Both my brother-in-laws never play gears unless they are playing with me and that has been months until yesterday and they BOTH were set at 29/30 and got their supporter for Thanksgibbing.

ElementalWeapon Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I can also confirm that they are still upping people to 29/30. I had not played Gears 3 online since the beginning of Janunary 2012, and had only like 2 or 3 event ribbons back then. As soon as the main menu came on when I played last night, the little box in the corner popped up saying I now had 29 ribbons. I then played one match of team deathmatch, and when the match was over I got the achievement. Since I hadn't played in so long I also obviously had to download the updated achievement list since two more DLC packs had been reased since I last played, but oddly it only showed the list up to 1750, not the full 2000. Wonder why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishoftheDragon Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) My War Supporter was finally updated today, now I am at 29/30. Have to hope I get it on the next event. Got my 30 of 30 now. Edited December 1, 2012 by WishoftheDragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanPabloSmoker Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Well over a week now and still no new ribbon. What's the next US holiday? I suppose they may make a new event for that. It better not be fucking Christmas though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkrockfox Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Well over a week now and still no new ribbon. What's the next US holiday? I suppose they may make a new event for that. It better not be fucking Christmas though I agree. I'm tired of waiting on the event to change for weeks after it is supposed and then being utterly disappointed when it turns out to be a ribbon I have had all along. This whole process has gotten quite old and frustrating. Here's to hoping that maybe we get a change later on in the day, seeing as to how I have frequently played a match in the morning and nothing, but have come home from work that same day and people have posted here about an event change.

JuanPabloSmoker Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) The event has changed to one shot one kill according to epic forums. I can't test this because I'm at work. I'm trying to keep my hopes down so I'm not disappointed when the inevitable happens Edit: YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH finally popped!!!!!!
