MMMDI Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Some people play for fun, so a neat modifier or whatever will be fun for them, and they don't give a shit about the achievement. Those of us who do care about the achievement... well... looks like it's going to suck for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Rad Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I'm right there with you. The shit doesn't make any sense. I don't understand why they've made such an elaborate detailed list (Which is very nice, by the way) if all you have to do is play an online vs match? So on one hand, what they're saying is to just play on line. If that's all that is required, why bother making the detailed list? I'm only at 7/30. I've been playing this game just about every day since June (For fun, not even grinding). I should have had more ribbons by now... Shit don't make any damn sense. That's what I seem to be getting to, play on line every week (as long as epic updates the event) no matter what game mode and as long as you haven't played the event yet you'll get a ribbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been playing this game just about every day since June (For fun, not even grinding). I should have had more ribbons by now... Shit don't make any damn sense. It's not so much because you need the list, because you're right it boils down to "play an online versus match during the event to get credit". The problem has arisen though, with Epic's stupid "no credit for events you already played", that people were CONSTANTLY asking things like: Is a new event up? Why am I not getting credit this weekend? I haven't played for X number of weeks so why isn't it working? I played event X, but I still got credit this weekend, why? What game mode should I play to get credit? etc etc. With so many of the SAME questions being constantly asked, I tried to consolidate all known information, and included the list of events simply because some people like to know where in the cycle we are if they happened to miss a run of 4 or 5 events in a row. Let's say someone deployed to Iraq during Feb/March. Now they're back going "ok, which events DIDN'T I play so I know when to play to get credit?". This list gives them the means to at least estimate when they need to play. Not everyone wants to play once, twice, or three times a week to be sure. Of course by not playing every week they run the risk of missing an event they haven't already played, but at least it's on them at that point.

Tortyreus Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 There's something I don't understand... In the entire Epic office, there's only ONE guy that can push a few buttons and change the event? ONE GUY??? On a huge gaming company? Are they kidding? I don't care where these guys are showing off their next sucky game, how about they fix the current one before abandoning it so they can make it to some stupid gaming show, I'm 2 ribbons away from that goddamned achievement and if Epic just kept their promise on when they updated the event I would've gotten it 2 days ago ffs!

Preaching to the choir man. It makes absolutely no sense that their sysadmin can't give someone else the access required to update the event while Pete is off circle-jer**** in a corner somewhere. I'm SO fucking glad I finished this thing and I'll try to keep on top of this thread as long as my sanity allows for the sake of those still working on it.

smashingrascal Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I missed 6 or 7 events somewhere down the way but don't know which one. I don't play GoW3 that often anymore and I have to get 1-3 events for socialite but it's a pain to try and find out so I guess i'm not getting the achievement.

Keep an eye on this thread, and if you see a new event mentioned, spend the ten minutes to play a round of warzone or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkrockfox Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 It's looking like another weekend without an event. I just played a match and received nothing. Still BTTE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puppys Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 just played a game at 3pm EST, still no new event in the list and I didn't get a ribbon. Will have to wait until tomorrow to play again. Man it really sucks being at 29/30 for 6 weeks now, just praying that you are playing your LAST game of gears 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolyHa1fDead Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) lifeexpectancy has done a great job on page 1 on explaining how to get this achievement, but I now have a very bad feeling about this. Let's start with the achievement definition: Socialite (70) - Earn the Onyx "War Supporter" medal - Play in 30 Gears events. An expanded definition would read: Play in a Gears event each week, and start playing Gears events within 22 weeks of the release of the game. You can miss a week or two, but don't miss too many (five). I played in week one, but like many I didn't realise the upmost importance of playing every week until after week 35. Why the bad feeling you may ask, well there has been a new event every week for a year and then for the past 3 weeks, nothing. Right now it looks like Epic were only supporting this achievement for 1 year (53 weeks). The last event was called "Brothers to the End" - could that be a reference to the end of events? I really hope I am wrong. Edited October 6, 2012 by HolyHa1fDead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laird Russ Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Im sure its been tried but i havent seen it anywhere... Where exactly is the patch for the glitch? I mean is it at epics end or as a patch on my xbox? Could i just clear the cache on an event day and use madman rabs method to get all the ribbons? I'm on 19/20...

MadDogMalcs Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Bored now! 25/30... Roll on Halo 4! Massive shame they did it this way, just frustrating playing every week for nothing, I know I've gone from week 1 to whatever week we are at on the second run and pretty sure I did quite a few before that so I'm running out of events... What I suggest is that the next person to actually get a ribbon posts here to give the rest of us hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMMDI Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Yes, please, someone post if a new ribbon pops up... I'm not playing every day, but the second I see someone say it's updated, I'm throwing it back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entity Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 http://epicgames.com/community/category/gears-of-war/ Maybe a new ribbon might pop up for that 1 day event. The Pink Lancer thing for Cancer. I am guessing it is a wildcard event with a new number like the play on Day 1 event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeexpectancy Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) OP UPDATED WITH PINK LANCERS FOR CANCER EVENT (supposedly will be October 12th). I hope it happens and I hope those of you in need get a ribbon. The news of this "event" didn't come through the normal channels (aka Pete's twitter), but we can only assume (and hope) that it will actually count towards War Supporter. Link: HERE IMPORTANT: As of this writing, the website linked in my TA solution that is advertising this "event" lists it as ONLY RUNNING FROM NOON to NOON, Oct 12 to the 13th. That means this is only a 24 HOUR EVENT, not the week-long (or nearly month-long) we've grown accustomed to. So if it does count towards War Supporter, ya better make dang sure you don't miss it!
