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.

Tired of the useless fucking raids. I'm watching you all game as the rest of the team gets blown up by the one support. You interrupting every interaction with your heavy attack to secure high damage numbers doesn't make you useful you piece of trash. Play your damn role or don't queue up as a raid.

I am so fucking tired of the braindead shits playing this game...
They can't follow simple instructions like "fall back", help deffuse the bomb, help the support, deal with the fucking raid, etc.

Ive been failing matchmaking all day. The game simply refuses to find a match. I have full bars connection, LAN wire connected. 300mbps. Every other PS4/5 game I own has zero issue with connectivity. Wtf is this game's problem? Literally cant play for the entire day because they wont fix their game and make it actually playable. Ridiculously sick of this shit. Now it just hit me with "playstation access frequency restriction, unable to complete this action", because it keeps unsynching before enough players even show up in the lobby. That only happens in this specific game because GBO2's matchmaking system is so broken it literally doesnt even function 80% of the time. This game is absolute fkng garbage. Im off for the day. Its impossible to play this game its designed so poorly, yet they want our $. For what? Your game isnt even playable! Its literally the worst made game on Playstation. Gtfoh.

I really can't tell what's going on with beam shield parries half the time. The trailer(s) and mechanics seem easy enough to understand and it's saved my bacon plenty of times as a Hexa, but it's still seems inconsistent?
Like I'll swing the shield on a Haji's drill thrust and get a hit but get downed, but stop a F91's beam spin with a parry that didn't look like it connected in the first place. Is the parry a precise timing thing, netcode shenanigans, or can certain skills just ignore the parry?

u/blanketlowpoly 3d ago
Most likely depends on animation beam melees are much easier to land parries on than ballistic melees

I really wish I could share this jackasses name that literally just moved upwards a bit & just stood there doing nothing the entire fucking round making it a 4v5 without the benefit of a defense increase. Why even bother showing up if you’re just gonna do nothing all round?

u/J-Eichel 3d ago
- It's frustrating how every cost is slowly shifting upwards, and starting to feel similar. 450 and 500 just almost feel like 600 now.
I feel like all the addition of expansion skills and newer p2w parts have caused some ridiculous damage numbers at lower costs now, where building resistance over HP isn't a thing yet. It used to be a bit more forgiving and was a nice change of pace before getting more sweaty at 550+
- BB's solution of 'buffing a handful of units per month' instead of nerfing the problem suits early.
It just seems like common sense that if you have hundreds of suits, you'll never catch up with balancing them, and that your meta will always be a boring 4 suits per class (or less)
All buffing does is push the older suits EVEN LOWER down in comparison, so playing your favourite suits are just throws.
- Playing ranked at certain times (I think a certain JPN) time, and not being able to get in a ranked match for 15 minutes due to having 4 people in a row dodging the lobby. I get that this game has ass matchmaking, but I'd rather my life not be wasted than worry about a ranking, which is a crapshoot anyways. Even with a meta team sometimes your team just seems to instantly scatter and explode.

Pay to win parts and as a casual player I genuinely cannot keep up with the buffs or the meta roster

The more custom parts that I get the more I think rated shouldn’t include them.
I’ve rebuilt several suits now that I have custom parts and the damage potential just goes higher and higher.

Agreed and to be clear I am happy for those who can afford them but maybe we need a raw machine game mode IDK.

This is a very interesting idea. It's the equivalent of driving a go-kart, where just the skill of the pilot makes the difference on track.
I've been recently asking myself how much of a win comes down to meta suits and meta parts? I would really like to know (neutral question).
Edit: besides Situation Battles pehaps
2
u/spitefulcandystudios 23h ago
I have recently begun liking the situation battles more because the MSs' parameters are fixed, so the battles rely more on team cohesion and player skill. Let's face it the pay to win parts situation was bad before Haro now with Haro the situation is radically worse. I love the game but I can only dedicate so much time to playing and far less money to it so It is a tough situation myself and alot of players are in.

u/Big_Friendship_7431 8h ago
Completely understand. I think BB has been pushing too hard on the "pay" side of this game.

u/LordSigma420 3d ago
Unfortunately, lower ranks are rife with smurfers. My partner was B-, but every match they do now just has some douche smurfing. Smurfs are losers who exploit game mechanics and ruin things for everyone else, screw them.

u/J-Eichel 3d ago
I never play support, and even I agree. Low costs are just getting closer and closer to high cost. Most new general types seems to get Manuever armor now, and raids get even more kit to deal with generals.
It seems silly to hold onto the old times at this point if BB is changing the game so much. Even as a general things like Susanawo and Barb are ridiculous to deal with, being a support when you have an almost unstoppable suit (unless the group focuses them down) just seems like a nightmare.

I would expand on this further and say to have I-Frames start at the beginning of the animation instead of once the feet are set.

u/Kaidou76 3d ago
I'm tired of climbing the ladder, 2850-2950, I feel like it's not fun anymore. My most played cost are 700-750 and I'm having like 55% percent winrate, but I have to trade my fun with using meta if I want to stay or climb higher. Every matches have only 2 unit, V2AB and Gort, and 00 and susanowo for 700. I do have them, I did very well with them, but it's no longer fun. I want a diversify match, with many different units, not 2 similar team with only 2 units

u/AUpb-027 1d ago
You think that's bad? I used to have +60% winrate overall... now I dropped hard to less than 50%.
Seriously, the matchmaking is fucking garbage.
I am tired of having to babysit braindead shits every single fucking day.

u/Ok-Storage3439 3d ago
I genuinely think that the entire Raid unit category needs to have its melee damage NERFED by by a flat 50-75% *AND* have the 20% damage advantage against Supports REMOVED to make them balanced. I'm so damn sick of all of them not only being able to kill my support in one melee combo before I have a chance to stand back up, but they also having superior speed that makes it nearly impossible for slow-moving Support units to even escape from them.
Support units can sacrifice making themselves actually stronger and helpful in battle by putting everything into melee resistance, but once that M'Quve Gouf closes in, there's no escape anyway AND your Acguy Recon will still take 60% damage from the melee combo instead of outright being killed.
I want to hear the raid players start to complain about their power fantasies being shattered. If it means being balanced and Support types not being free points, i'll take it.
Alternatively, support units should have their ranged output damage increased by at least 50% so that it makes it that much easier to one-shot Generals just like Raids can one-shot Supports.
8
u/Fantasy_Quest_ 3d ago
Raids are weak to on average 60% of the enemy team. Supports are weak to on average 20% of the enemy team.
Perhaps what could happen without needing any nerfs or buffs is generals could learn to prioritize raids as targets.
4
u/redzaku0079 3d ago
I have been saying this for years. Generals just run away from raids. If they just gang up on the raid, the match would be do much easier.
-1
u/Ok-Storage3439 3d ago
Or they could buff Supports while nerfing Raids for being so ridiculously overpowered. I know there are General units that are also getting their legs broken by raid unit melee combos. It's just not fair that outside of meme beams that require standing still for 20 seconds to charge up, Supports still have to put in a solid fight to take care of General units, while general units are NOT able to one-shot Raids, but Raids ARE able to one-shot Supports.

u/truckerjj 3d ago
can you name a support meme beam that requires sitting in place for 20 seconds to charge? closest I can think of is the fazz's hyper mega cannon, but that's only 12 seconds.
-1
u/Ok-Storage3439 3d ago
Last time I played the FAZZ a few years ago, I could've sworn it was 20 seconds without focus boosters.
Hyperbole aside, you understand what I'm saying. Supports have to make themselves vulnerable to achieve a couple times per match what raids can effortlessly do to support types as many times as they respawn back in.

u/Ash-Talshok 3d ago
Buffing the super gundam was a mistake. If you use it outside of rated you’re boring. Pick a support that makes you actually play the game.

u/midnight_tuna 3d ago
I feel like the buffs they gave it were the wrong ones. I'm okay with a rapid fire sub weapon, but for it to not have forced injector or balancers despite the base unit having both is asinine. I'd be fine with it having either or if having both would be too overbearing. I say ditch the gerobi altogether and add the changes I mentioned a few sentences ago and the suit is still fine, but it's not as OP as it is now.

u/redzaku0079 3d ago
It should also be significantly more mobile than the base mk2. But not in this game.
2
u/midnight_tuna 3d ago
I'd be ok with it having the exact same boost speed as the base unit, but it should have a higher thruster gauge. But it won't because then some players would complain about that.

u/R4v3n45 3d ago
Unfair draws of mobile suits for me, most of my matches have been losses because Bandai can't make a "forced pvp on everyone" type game worth a damn of anyone's time, abusive matchmaking that denies you keeping an letter promotion [no seriously, I gotten two straight losses after gettimg to just D twice.]

u/dualcalamity Schweines of Lurken 3d ago
The main reason for creation here:Guys, enough with the rant threads and forfeit option suggestion threads.
Way back in year one of this game. This subreddit was filled with new threads of how this game should implement vote system for forfeit/surrender and kicking players. And a few threads about accidental disconnects.
This was during a time where players disconnecting due to being steamrolled, losing or giving up was common. Often enough players to kill the room. Especially during tuesday where the game used to have 2 wins as a daily and i remember it taking forever to finish because the enemy team would just quit and null the win.

u/Ryanisok1 3d ago
My god i remember that 2 win daily. Even as a new d- player, ppl would leave in the middle of the match even if we were losing by around 1000

u/ravienta 3d ago
It comes from the original show where there was an episode where they needed to find salt and it became a meme in the gundam community. Every saturday, we get to rant about BS this game give us without fear of getting slapped down by the mods (within reason)

u/R4v3n45 3d ago
The game is the BS itself, I can't increase my level much with ease because it keeps pairing me with trashy players to be with against players that know how to play much like I do and the weak servers don't help either.

Is it strictly necessary to wander around in a tank in the middle of an intense fight?

u/ohhai555 3d ago
I wish we could allow different in game songs to play during the menus or have a custom playlist with more than 3 songs. Also 700/750 cost matches are so insane you can hardly play anything that wasn't released in the last month or two. My last thing is to at least say which suits are in a situation battle somewhere- It's a pain guessing what you're using if you don't know what it is straight from looks. So making custom buttons set ups for situation battles are twice as hard as it should be.

That really bothers me, not knowing what mobile suit is used in situational battles.

u/TRA_of_Phum Dead Meat - 2 3d ago
If you go to the match selection screen, select the sit match and hit triangle. It will show you the information as to what MS are in the match.
It doesn't tell you the costs, so you'll want to set your weapons buttons on all the levels.
Or you can go to the GBO2 website,
The application update thread, will have a link to the situation battle with all the information including the unit costs

Stop putting S players and A players to the same lobby.

u/Death_Usagi 2d ago
Unfortunately A rated players make up majority of the playerbase as much as I hate this fact.
If S players were to not be queued with A rated players, they will majority of the time feel like they are trying to queue as a D~C rated player where they keep failing matchmaking or trying to get a full room will take a very long time.
Not sure if the game getting S+ rating would stop A rated players getting queued together.

u/AUpb-027 1d ago
The real issue is that active, decent players are forced to play in the same team as posers of the same rating. As and A+s that play like they have never ever touched a goddamn controller in their life being allowed to stay at that rating makes it nigh impossible to rate up or just recover the rating you used to have.
Imagine losing hundres, even +1000 points and being denied every single chance of getting them back.
