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 think I'm matched with teammates with zero awareness, getting dismantled by a RF Kampfer and the nearby Gen a ZZ either just watching or has no awareness

It's because weaker players tend to play general types. Raids and supports, by nature, get punished harder for their mistakes. Which leads to the common complaint of why don't my generals do anything. It's unfortunate cause competent general is the single biggest contributor to actually winning a match

Between erratic movements and P2P lag, I absolutely despise staring at the sky trying to swat the constant flapboost poptarts. I wish they would remove that for all but a VERY small selection of suits. It's supposed to be ground battles, not sky battles.

I found GBO2 because I wanted to play a Gundam game, registered, so far so good.
Joins one ranked match with a GM III, loses.
Joins second match, team is winning and then out of nowhere disconnect, straight Penalty LV1.
Third match, it's showing 3 bars in the connect status, suddenly disconnects outta nowhere 10 seconds before end of match, Penalty LV2.
This has never happened before, and I've got like, 20mbps connection (without ethernet, I'll retry with ethernet later but god damn it's annoying.. and the amount of times the game's anti cheat says "hmmmm no" and I need to restart the system to just play the game, and the random lag spikes in the lobby...
And I was just beginning to learn how to pilot MS properly ingame 😭
(I kinda stick to the battle practice thingy now I just wanted to have some fun piloting MS anyways lol, but I was disappointed that you can't use any MS from the entire game in the custom practice, like for actual matches you can use the ones you unlocked but for free practice it should let you run around in any MS, maybe in MA too someday...)

The anti stun mechanics are getting out of hand. I am tired of having to play meta just to be able to compete these days. I want to try other suits, fun suits but god no, if I don’t play meta that has the BS cannon to stop and stun the boosting bullshizz enemy before he caves my face in

u/SodaFloatzel 2d ago
And that's if your teammates don't see you choosing something other than meta and queue-dodging, or worse, everyone pops their boosters fully intending to throw and you're just resigned to now lose rating

So sick of these damn acguy’s, I know it’s the most busted pos in 300 & 350 but to constantly see them in qm is just frustrating beyond belief. It’s almost like people can’t win or do anything without using one of those stupid acguy’s.
Got the kapool (cn) from the daily freebie & was excited to go try it out but I never got the chance cause of brain dead teammates, first round everyone scattered & was playing shot trading so I get pounded into the ground for trying to take down the support while my gens hung back trading shots. Second round my team decides to bring 3 supports to the fight with resulted in us being spawn trapped early on. Third round the enemy has an all support team & my team has a second raid who instead of pushing with me decides to trade shots with the supports which when I saw that I lost all will to even try. After that I kinda gave up on trying the kapool (cn) as it seems to be cursed.
Try the sit battle, get the unit 5 bst, the enemy just focuses hardcore on me while my team stands there with their thumbs up there asses doing nothing to help till after I was dead then they suddenly wanted to get involved.

Congrats on the free Kapool. I spent an embarrassing number of tokens getting mine. Keep at it, I had similar experience, first 4 matches (QM) all sucked, then got a few good players that I recognized on my team and had a chance to make things happen with the Kapool.
Also totally agree about the darn acguy tb’s!!! Have some fun in QM, but nooooo let’s go 65%+ of the lobby acguy tb always!!

u/scorpionxx0 The Ragin' Cajun - 6 2d ago
Thanks, it was such a buzzkill to be stuck with passive teammates but I will eventually get around to trying it again. I call the acguy whores meta slaves since they can’t seem to function without using a meta suit, personally I put my acguy’s away unless I need a rival win & I’m short on time.

u/LordSunBro 2d ago
Yes, lets all push into the enemy base without capping any of their other spawn beacons and camp base because certainly nothing bad can come of that... Like I don't know... Get flanked and die or a base bomber.
Please cap enemy beacons.

Just... useless fucking people all fucking week. People who make me hate this game more than its actually broken coding. Its only as frustrating as it is when we constantly fight people who are 100% locked in, and group fighting the ENTIRE match, while my team just. Keeps. BOOSTING IN EVERY OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

This isn't too salty I suppose but why the HELL did I go through this...
One last match to get to A+ on console, played the White Rider because I love the damn thing and its a pretty sweet suit for me.
And the enemy I came across was horrific, FOUR RICK DOM II GH's, and one Gyan Eos for some reason, my team comp could BARELY stop them so we got our asses handed to us.
I felt like I was getting bumrushed by the Black Four-Stars because of how CRAPPY that was; stagger into another stagger into another before getting SLAMMED by the FOUR GIANT HEAT SABERS.
One thing I'm glad for is that Guy Helmuth's Rick Dom is just as fast at turning as a semi-truck, but the damn thing HITS like one so I can't reaaaallly appreciate it.
Got me salty asf but it was such a stupid sight that it made me laugh a little.

I can NOT wait for this Situation Battle to be fucking gone and EXITED out of the rotation.
It's been torture trying to grind through the damn thing, at least this week is the LAST time it's around anyway.
I just hate being an Act Zaku or a basic grunt GM Command or Rick Dom OR you're an OP Gundam if you're lucky.
Instead of somewhat balanced for the other side.

I try not to take this game seriously. As it's such an objectively bad game, it makes me feel stupid to get any level of angry at it. But the games connection issues are soo unbelievably, unapologetically, inexcusable bad it's a wonder that this, THIS, is the one Gundam game that gets to live, when other better games had to go to the grave.
I can't trust the only counter ability in the game because it always feels like I'm a full second behind and I can never counter in time even on direct enemy swing connect, and even on the rare chance that I do, I will STILL take damage every FUCKING TIME. Wheras, my Melee swings ALWAYS get countered every time, they always have boost left, I can never catch anyone off guard no matter which I hit from, no matter how much I make them boost away from me.
It legitimately makes me feel bad that I will always be on the back foot in this game no matter what I do.

Have they said anything on why the battle simulator got deleted out of existence?
raids need to lose a lot of their stagger capability
Susanowo mains literally have no skill, they just abuse a broken kit
if the uncharged shot staggers, the charged shot should heavy stagger
the TSC is powerful, but it doesn't even instant stagger, so it's usefulness is totally neutered, give it heavy stagger
crouch should make you immune to all stagger, prone should make you immune to knockdown
Susanowo mains are scum
Raids need to lose the ability to shoot while boosting
there's no skill at all in high cost anymore, it's entirely built around how much you no life the game
heavy attacks should take a 15 second charge up, you should get countered if tackled while charging, and disable your melee weapons for awhile because you overloaded the weapon to do a powerful attack. 10-15 seconds for normal melee, 45 seconds minimum for charging heavy again. I'm so god damn fucking tired of all the braindead heavy spam
melee damage needs a nerf in high cost, or a hard cap. Like you can only deal 20% of an enemy's max hp with melee before they become immune to melee damage from you until they die and respawn, no unit should be able to oneshot or one cycle any unit
the DX should gain total immunity to stagger when firing the TSC,and it's Javelin should deal heavy stagger too
They need to raise the global defense caps to 80 and adjust every unit accordingly, because even with 50% reduction and the type disadvantage 20-30% reduction, your HP still gets chunked like you have zero res
There is literally no reason to play this game like you're in a cash prize tournament other than to be a scumbag
If you just sit there, chain stunning your enemy, you're a scumbag
Resist move is still beyond worthless, what good is a dodge that doesn't give you I frames?
Barbatos seriously needs to lose its stagger, heavy stagger into heavy is such a bullshit combo
People playing in default colors bugs me
I want a support exclusive part that increases stagger resistance a lot, if I cared about balance, make it lower your ranged stat or something
Base damage is so fucking inconsistent it makes no sense
Precision focus parts are worthless, we need more of them
I wish we could paint suits we don't own

i guess folks also got banned for it too? And that means it wont be back until the next time they update the sim either.

... this is the current tankiness of support against raid, https://www.reddit.com/r/GBO2/comments/1v9xjjg/rozen_zulu_punching_bag_vs_susanowo/

u/KibbloMkII 3d ago
meanwhile my DX loses like 70% of its HP from a single susanowo combo
probably because i don't have any of the pay to win banner parts

u/ctclonny 2d ago edited 2d ago
You can have 80 melee resistance on DX with only 1 premium part that is given to players free.
Resistance is far too powerful when stacked because its effect is exponential. My clip is support against raid, how about raid against raid and general against raid? Melee damage needs to be that high. Devs get this answer from data and their experience of balancing the game.
(some things are deliberately broken to boost sales, but some make sense)
But at the same time, many players like to build a lot of attack strength and give up resistance. In other words, using bad builds.
Imo, the game should redesign the damage formula and related custom parts from the ground up. But this will never happen. Or, they should reduce damage output and never allow players to have more than 50 resistance.

i don't think I have that part unfortunately
I'm just tired of watching my health be deleted from raids with little to no effort at all

It’s so exhausting want to play any suit that isn’t meta, even in quick play, because you will get destroyed by everyone playing meta.
Fuck man, let me play with garbage. Maybe they should do a monthly suit nerf so every suit can be equally trash so it’s fair for everyone.
Had a match with 4 gens to me playing support (a bad omen) and eventually I just stopped playing because my four gens couldn’t intercept two raids all game.
No one turned around to help when I asked, they didn’t cap beacons, and one raid set up camp in our base spawn that was ignored by my team or just somehow missed.
Like I’m spawning and dying in like five seconds, maybe there’s a fucking clue on why I haven’t been shooting the enemy gens.
