60x ribbons in one event?

No ribbon this weekend. MY KINGDOM FOR ONE EVENT RIBBON! /foams at mouth

That's not how the event system in Gears 3 works. Last year's "Thanksgibbing" event ribbon counted for this year's "Wingman 2x XP" that happened back in July. Please read my first post (third one down) and my last post on this thread:

I explain how the event ribbon system works. Simply put, Epic only coded 35 event ribbons. They are supposed to cycle through them about one ribbon/event per week. After the 35th week, they cycle through again. You can only earn each of the 35 event
ribbons ONCE. So if you have event ribbon #6 from last year, you cannot get event ribbon #40 from this year if you play the event because it counts as the same ribbon. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell which ribbons you have and which ones you do not,
so therefore, you must keep playing an online versus match at least once per week to see if you have the event ribbon or not.

.

The current event (Boooooom Snipes) is a repeat of the "Can You Dig it" event that happened last February, so if you played Gears 3 online between February 24th - 27th, then you already have that event ribbon and have to wait for an event that you did not
play last cycle.

.

Recently, Epic decided to grant everyone 29 "War Supporter" ribbons automatically. This means that you still have to find and play that one event that you have not yet gotten credit for. I know this is a bit confusing, but just read my posts in the other
threads and it will help clear up a few things. I hope this helps you out.

Doesn't look like they put a lot of effort into the events part of Gears 3. I stopped earning the events ribbons around the Gearsmas week thing - sometimes I would get the ribbon, sometimes nothing (and yes I know that there was not a ribbon for every day
but I played every event and did not get all the ribbons).

Anyway I gave up on events - evidently Epic ran out of events so they are recycling old ones. Not that big a deal in and of itself but you cannot get a ribbon for playing the same event twice and unless you wrote them down you don't know which ones you've
already played in.

so, I guess that didn't really answer your question but IMO that mechanic is just broken or unreliable - not sure why you're getting the wrong ribbons but take comfort in knowing that you're at least getting them

This gets asked every week. No, no one can see their event ribbons.

Is there an actual ribbon for this event? I've won a few matches and haven't seen a ribbon.
