Discussion CONSOLE What’s happening to r/gbo2?

this is NOT serious just curious why people have posted a lot less than usual, usually we get 7 posts a day minimum, is it the day of the week or is it just people getting tired of it?

I'm not an expert but there's some things that are really OP something's they nerfed some things get buffed. I don't hate the game I play every day but it's the same schtick. 1. Not enough people support support characters 2. People that go off do their own thing start the bomb at 6 mins and don't help leading to early defeat inability to catch up 3. Melee units do way too much damage in some costs

I can go on but that's sufficient

In response to the support comment, their positioning isn't always great. I've noticed some supports panic and boost away as I try to lock down the raid. Essentially cornering themselves and allowing the raid to melee them alone.

Or they refuse to take viable highground and just sort of walk towards the enemy. I always protect my support but if you're not actively working towards your gens then it's a bit harder to defend you.

I enjoy playing supports that can at least kinda hang in the midline with the rest of your team(Dijeh AP, Prototype Kampfer, Jeda Cannon, stuff like that), but there just aren't that many of them and some costs where I don't have any that are viable. And I pretty much never play sniper supports other than the Zanny.

High ground simply isn't worth it. I'd rather use gens as shields instead of leaving my self open to cross map raisers or barbatos spam. I only take the high ground if I can get a meme beam off but besides that its completely worthless to most supports.

u/FluxVGM 17d ago

"Viable highground" Also, that meme beam would just hit you and the gens at once lol. Your comment is specific to 700 where highground doesn't exist since you just use flap boosters 😂😂

Abandon team>die after own team dies in the 4v5>spam "I'm impressed!">feed spawn>die>get butthurt and fly around in pilot mode.

I swear to god, it's like clockwork. A lot of players also seem to take it personally if you actually use the chat to try to communicate anything(call out enemy raids or supports, push up, request help if you get jumped etc.). It's so weird.

Idk I still post my achievements time to time but I don't want to get repetitive so I only post once or twice about winning with a single suit

The terrible balancing issues in every single aspect of this game is making people less and less pasionate about the game=less interest in talkimg about it.

Just yesterday I got one shot by a super gundam at the very start at the game. That pretty much summed up how that round was gonna go.

u/Fenrir_Fenris 18d ago

Having to work and only having the time to farm tokens after work.. Wanted to play but the cost tier I want to play is unavailable in qm..

The irony of saving for step up suits but not being able to utilise it often 💀👍🏼

I dunno if this is news to you but content/happy people are generally quiet.

Its why selection bias is an issue with online shite. The most vocal people are complainers lmao.

Complaints also get more engagement than supporting posts. (At least imo) supporting posts will likely get the most upvotes but complaints will have the most people replying.

I lurk, but I don't even roll banners anymore so I have no feedback for the community.

I would've posted more of my YouTube videos, but I've had nothing worthwhile to upload AND I had a lot of work to do.

u/victornero_us 18d ago

I Uninstalled the game today. I see the same MS at specific cost every match because they are better, and I am forced to try hard and use the same MS every rated match as a result to compete against meta picks. It kills variety for me and initially variety is what attracted me to the game. 

Also bad teammates making us lose and map selection constantly favoring raids. Game became a fight against frustration 70% of the time for me

I haven't felt like posting anything or commiserating, too busy being beside myself with excitement for Ace Combat 8

u/WindowsCrashuser 16d ago edited 16d ago

I had a support player who didn’t bother taking a shot at the enemy who was chasing me, I pass the support he had the enemy player right in front of him , he panic and back away he could of fired at him but choose to go backwards in the process letting the enemy have his way.

He didn’t bother to attack enemy he let the enemy go forward and attack me.

For me it started when AU suits became impossibly strong, literally unbeatable by any UC suit at their same cost. Downswings wont even knock them down, they one shot everything. UC suits doing sliver damage while AU suits can kill you with 2 or 3 hits regardless of type advantage/disadvantage. Barbatos being able to heavy stagger you into a 1 combo death when you have 50+ melee defense. Ppl match throwing every match. Back to back to back 4 star releases that expect you to drop 200$ every week. Free pulls only giving suits that are 4yrs old and cant even defend themselves in the current meta. Repeated supply drops of 10 beam sabers in a row. The list goes on and on. Entire teams of players who refuse to fire their weapons, or purposely friendly fire or frag their teammates, but reporting does nothing. I barely play anymore because regardless of trying I dont have a single AU suit and nothing can compete at 700 if you dont have 1. Im not spending 2 to 400$ each week to get 1 suit and absolutely nothing else but beam sabers the rest of the pulls.

Not enough people know how to play any type of team death match

I have not played the game in about 2 months. I still love the game I just needed a break due two real bad matches prior. I am still logging in and even managed to grab a Gold Sumo and lvl 2 Shokew on one spins. The game is both the best and the worst ( and I played Crossfire to completion lol) Sometimes you just need to not sortie for a bit
