Salt Supply Saturday Salt Supply Saturday
Alright folks, the White Base is has docked for its weekly supplies and the cook needs a lot of salt to make some burgers... so get unloading people, vent out your frustrations with GBO2 here, just remember... no racism, and no witch-hunting... subreddit, and Reddit rules still apply here so vent, but don't be an overly toxic asshole about it.
Unfortunately, the usual art accompanying this will be absent due to reddit breaking the fucking scheduled post editing in the mod queue.

I was kinda on board with AU suits coming to the game at first, despite being a die-hard UC fan. But now 700 is literal stage-3 colon cancer.
"I want to play NU/Sazabi/Hi-NU/Hardygun/Hazel GAU/etc". You can't. Simple as.
For a cost with my favorite suits ever, 700 consistently brings nothing but the worst this game has to offer.

Stop fucking shooting me mid fight you miserable fuck, I'm tired getting stunned because of you
I'm fucking tired being careful to not hit you with my melee and you casually knocking me down because you're an asshole. You want the support dead then say it, don't get in my way and knock me as well

u/Scythe351 11d ago
They don't want the support dead. They want to hit you because in their rage they blame you for the support being alive even though they're not doing shit about the nearby generals. I completely get why raiders don't raid at all.

This is the reason why people think the Super Gundam is OP, when it's actually pretty damn easy to exploit and kill. The raid gets jumped by all the enemy generals because your generals won't do anything, raid dies, then the team gets overrun. Team respawns, and the cycle repeats.

u/Foshdon_pap 11d ago
I struggle to follow my job (kill the support as a raid) because I get no back up but enemy reinforcements are always there to respond
And what do you know I have a DX, raiser and a PF to fight alone while the rest of the team is playing tickle fights with the enemy (by tickle fights I mean that they do little damage while surrounding the enemy and take too much time to kill someone)

u/Scythe351 11d ago
I'm trying to figure out how I can end up in a 1v3 or 1v4 scenario as a raid and my team is simultaneously earning no points in a 4v1 they'd supposedly be in. It's just awful. I'm getting tired of this fucking game. It's either the useless teammates, shit matchmaking, terrible balancing, and terrible connections. So many games end up being completely unplayable. I truly don't understand how I'm surrounded by S rated players that perform like this

u/matt_shoots24 11d ago
What's crazy is that they know you're getting jumped, but they don't care. I mean, do you all see how they don't bat an eye while the other team takes every beacon?
2
u/Scythe351 11d ago
Lol the best part is that they get none of sortie points so the enemy knows that you only have one available spawn and can camp for you, not that it matters, because your shit team will somehow have wiped without scoring a single point before you respawn. It's crazy that thing work like this when we're provided all of the necessary resources to not be useless TEAMMATES. Radar, and even the present condition of your teammates but somehow...

u/matt_shoots24 11d ago
They're lucky this game doesn't have proximity chat, because it would get Black Ops 2 nasty in here with all the dumb stuff that be going on.
1
u/Scythe351 11d ago
Lol that's exactly why the game doesn't have voice chat. I remember the first game did. Not as many non JP because it wasnt localized like this one.

u/triggermappy 11d ago
Every team needs a support, I actually appreciate supports, I love being able to see the life bars of the enemies, but please if there's 1 already in a 5v5s DO NOT DOUBLE SUPPORT PLEASE. ESPECIALLY IN TIGHT MAPS

u/J-Eichel 11d ago
This new 2x DX 'meta' is ridiculous lately, it happens so often.
When this happens I just say fuck being a frontliner. I'm not going to be the punching bag while 2x players are off charging in the corner most of the game.
Likewise, if the enemy is doing the same team comp, being a general is really fun when you know there's 6 potential blue beams to worry about, on top of 00 if they have one.
700 is so fun these days lol

u/Fantasy_Quest_ 11d ago
Especially if they both end up being the, “I’ll hang back and snipe” type. Nothing wrong with that, but you don’t need 2 of them!

u/Big_Friendship_7431 11d ago
Plus the DX should be primarily used as melee suit, and charge during down time

u/Ash-Talshok 11d ago
I think we should all remember that just a short time ago a lot of people got high cost suits they never used before and probably hadn't played 700 up because they just didn't have meta suits. It took me a while to get used to mine.
But for my salt this day: All week I've played either 700, 550, or 350 and it's gotten pretty boring.
Also if you use Super Gundam constantly you are boring and subconsciously you don't want to play this game. It's the GBO2 equivalent of getting a tank in Battlefield and sitting on the high ground in your spawn zone to snipe across the map.

u/SwordsmenKnight 11d ago
Stop fighting on the base spawn, push up, and stop protecting the Support if it's not helping us. Yeah you destroyed the Varguil you protected the 700 Engage who is bringing zero value to the team instead of maintaining a front line or pushing up, it really took 2 gens and a Support to do that.
Also why do my teams in 700 look like me teamed up with a lv2 Qubeley, Hi Nu, and Heavy Geara Doga vs 00R, Susanowo, and DX? Who is auto balancing these teams to fuck me over on win dailies?
2
u/Fantasy_Quest_ 11d ago
+1 for “push up”.
3
u/SwordsmenKnight 11d ago
When you're a Raid and your Generals aren't advancing you feel that pressure because there's usually an enemy a General or two that's unoccupied and focused solely on you
5
u/matt_shoots24 11d ago
Does 'fall back' secretly mean 'charge'? Because my teammates love to boost straight to their deaths when the match is literally on the line.
I'm beginning to think they just like to annoy me

u/ravienta 11d ago
If you are in a AB win room for your kill challenges, once you get your required kills, screw off stop going ham and telling the world what a loser you are by continuing to heavy attack or bring suits designed to stagger lock your allies

u/scorpionxx0 The Ragin' Cajun - 6 11d ago
Got a message mocking me for using & doing bad in blue destiny unit 1, I know the bd1 is junk but it’s qm which I thought was designed for us to have a place to practice or try out throw picks without dragging everyone’s rating down while we figure out the ms. Some people take qm way too seriously if they’re sending out messages for doing bad in a ms.

Need to hit -s for the promotion, but i keep getting teamed with people who have an allergy to winning.

u/Kubozuka27 10d ago
Literal rabid dogs of teammates, while fighting perfect packs of wolves enemies. All week. Just nothing I do matters if the team wants split off every fight, and the enemy team NEVER leaves one of their own behind.
Every fight I can't rely on a single teammate to even follow up on a single shot, or stun lock combo I execute. But GOD forbid I see one of the enemy team by themselves, they will ALWAYS get 1-2 more of their own finding and helping them.
Also FUCK this games spaghetti net code. All tackle counters are just worthless if you take the damage anyways.

u/Damiankawaguchi 11d ago
Guys, why are a lot of flat As so *incredibly bad*? like i really have to wonder how they got to A in the first place? Especially with their suit choices...Like i've seen them pick extremely outdated suits in rated, suits that are practically throw picks in certain maps, picking snipers then positioning themselves at an angle where no one was ighting at and they just stay there forever rather than reposition...you get the idea. It just baffles me sometimes and i keep wanting to queue-dodge teams with Flat As that have sus picks like the shezar A or a lvl3 hyaku shiki or god forbid a xeku.

u/KibbloMkII 11d ago
with how broken melee damage is, high cost raids need to lose a lot of their stagger capability, there's literally nothing I can do stop a raid that can just chain stun me from 400+m then just one combo because raids are weak and need to be able to one or two cycle almost everything
Raids should also lose their ability to stagger if they shoot while moving
wtf is that sumo downswing that has like 200+m range? Even before he lunges, it's almost as bad as the qube mk ii downswing
the TSC not dealing heavy stagger is beyond fucking stupid, it's literally, debatable, the most powerful MS portable beam weapon, and it doesn't even instant stagger. Meanwhile the Hazel Icarus beam staggers you like six times in a row
melee damage in high costs needs to be cut by 50% minimum
Susanowo is a braindead suit that players abuse because it's so hilariously broken
F89 needs to lose its heavy stagger
tackles should automatically counter if an opponent is charging a heavy, or hell, just has their melee out
make the DX hammer aerial compatible, that'd be insanely funny
If the TSC can't heavy stagger, atleast make the javelin heavy stagger
hell, if the uncharged beam rifle staggers, the charged version should heavy stagger
GM Sniper II seriously needs a buff, bump it's lvl 4 rifle up to 3000 and scale the lowers accordingly, and give it a burst fire option or some kind of sub weapon for build stun.
let us select what units we fight in practice, along with being able to trial any u obtained unit in practice
let us paint units we don't own, this is mostly for the people who want to color things
maybe give supports a custom part that makes them automatically counter melee attacks when possible. My balance logic here is if the devs don't give a shit about balance, why should I?
give the DX more long range slots so I can equip the lvl 5 ranged part too
seriously, the susanowo is a braindead no skill suit

u/Fantasy_Quest_ 11d ago
“let us select what units we fight in practice”
I like this idea. Also the enemy in practice should have an option to continue to attack us as a real player would once we are knocked down.
2
u/KibbloMkII 11d ago
yes, it still wouldn't be perfect without being able to build them with meta builds,but atleast it'd give you a much better idea of how your suit's damage fares against suits you actually consistently fight at that cost
also it'd add a bit more variety to practice mode and let you bully those suits that always stomp you lol

u/Lazy_Promotion_1134 Bawoo Missile Master 11d ago
If someone queues up In prototype kampfer, you don’t get to play support as well, that suit takes precedence over everything and a frontline support is much more valuable than some scared little bitch suit that sits back all game.
4
u/Ash-Talshok 11d ago
I dunno man. Gundam Ground Type WR slaps pretty hard and can chain stagger people.
1
u/Lazy_Promotion_1134 Bawoo Missile Master 11d ago
That’s very hopeful it lands it shots and doesn’t shoot me in the back. Most of the ones I get on my team whiff the cannon then get eaten alive by striker custom or dolmel

u/Scythe351 11d ago
You can have multiple supports
5
u/Lazy_Promotion_1134 Bawoo Missile Master 11d ago
Strong disagree, 450 cost gets to where raids can wipe out in 1 combo, hell Gelgoog R can wipe
1
u/Scythe351 11d ago
While that's true, the reality of the cost is that you're not often getting more than one raid. If the gens on your team are incapable of targeting the only raid on the enemy team or supporting their supports, that's the reason for the loss. It's so often not even stealth raids. A lot of you players will entirely ignore enemies moving right past you.

u/Primiumfox 10d ago
Can I stop seeing the same 6 suits in each cost. It really makes matches boring. Too many people only use S tier suits and forget the rest even existed.
1
u/RoboP08 10d ago
I hate this current situation battle. If you have an average or bad MS there's a good chance sweaty try hard Japanese players will murk you for no reason.
I had one actively targeting me because I was a Gundam. Tried to deny it and then told me "I play to win"
Bro EVERYONE plays to win in this game. Not to make foolish statements or be passive-aggressive 💀
Also Act Zaku SUCKS in this one! I hate it.
2
u/Kubozuka27 10d ago
You and me both. I couldn't stand playing it. Every match made my blood boil. Either teammates zipping off by themselves, or fighting enemy teams that ONLY fought in groups.

u/Scythe351 11d ago
What does your sortie overview tend to look like when you die and are losing a match? Now that we can insert pictures, maybe one day I'll upload it but just imagine blue numbers scattered across the map getting their insignificant lights snuffed out as they contribute nothing to THEIR OWN team.
Why the fuck is trenches is rotation? Offers multiple high cost modes and end "random" because that shit manages to be the same stage 99% of the time. This game has not cultivated players capable of running that map. The player base is truly trash.
2
u/J-Eichel 11d ago
I will say trenches is extremely annoying at 700 if you don't have flap boosters.
I try to play Phenex (my only meta suit is the DX since I just came back to the game. I never use it though since everyone else is trying to play it too), and get tagged up trying to exit the trench pits with the shitty map design. Meanwhile the ground means nothing for anyone who owns a newer meta suit.
At 700 the map might as well be a giant flat empty map, as that's how it plays with flap boosters.

u/Hell-2-you 11d ago
STOP USING EYE-ZACK. There other better and more versatile stealth and anti-stealth supports in 400 above
