Event Ribbons

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

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

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.

Also, how the hell do you propose to keep track of the events when the name of the event doesn't even matter? They can run whatever event they want. The ribbon ID is separate. Hell, they've run the same event for 2 or 3 weeks with a different ribbon each
week plenty of times. They're so lazy all they do is cycle to the next ribbon ID.

Special Events seems to be fixed. Just play at least once a day till you see the special event thing pop up. If you need the achievement, nows the time to get it!!!!!
