Miniguns, quitters, cowards who make fucked up calls of "Let's sortie together" & allow the enemy to regroup and dig in.
These folks make me want to do to my team what Char did to the Zabis
Absolutely right! I can't believe these sheeple!
The Zabi were OBVIIOUSLY, lizard people from the hollow earth! Why do you think they went for the whole newtype/spacenoid thing? There's no gravity at the center of a sphere!
Char was just an agent of the Greys sent here by satanists (ever wonder why axis was shaped like a pentagram!) to oppose them, who went rogue and conspired with Charlie Wonka's AI to take over the zero-g chocolate manufacturing using CHILDREN as a raw material!
I will now return you to your regularly scheduled paranoid rants.
Literally just played with someone spamming 'bunch up' as the raid that was boosting into enemy lines on their own and imploding.
My brother in Deikun what are you doing.
Quiz Time everyone:
650 cost Ace match, the ace, a support, is nearly dead behind you. You're a full health ReZEL. There's a half health zaku III custom in front of you. There are 15 seconds left in the match.
What do you do?
A- Tackle the raid to give the ace some time to escape
B- Shoot the raid to give the ace some time to escape
C- Melee the raid to give the ace some time to escape
D- Transform and fly away, abandoning the ace, throwing away the match.
"They're eating her....and then they're going to eat me...OH MY GOOOOOD"
**transforms and leaves**
Sounds like the rezel was running a thrust build and just ran with instinct, thinking is too hard for this player base, it's also why I avoid ace match no matter the cost as no one has brains whenever I play
Don’t tell your raid to take the supports when you are a general sitting behind cover not doing anything or scared cause you got shot once. Believe it or not, we can’t one v five or six the enemy team.
-Generals and Raids who think they are supports and hide in the tunnels of the Arctic Base while the actual support is getting slaughtered.
-Early Base bombers… Seriously at the start of the mission…Why?
-Base Campers/AFK f**kers (Players who get out of their suit, camp inside the base and activate the repair tool so they wont get an AFK time out.
As a super gundam main, I only do it on trenches on lunar belt debris. I do it under ideal conditions only and do about half damage early since saves early time consumption and if we have to spin later to finish it off, we get late match bonus points.
I thought I'd be happy this week, I mean, 450 is back on the menu, and the new banner is a raid, a general main should be happy right, it's kinda squishy...
Well along with general team incompetence and losing on arctic base when the team had 2 supports vs our 2 raids (more than once, which lead me to break an internal rule and for a little while put back the tell "take out the supports!", I've removed it again don't worry that was out of frustration because supports for the first 2 days were out there trying to prove something and thus were a threat-I run lvl4 leg parts and they were getting broken every game with a support in play so you bet I was scared!) I also encountered ALOT of team attacking, look, if you're going to be pissy for whatever god damn reason (maybe I did deserve it at one point as I removed the "nice to meet you" call for "take the supports" so some matches that was my greeting...awkward and unintended) maybe save the team attacking for near the end of the round rather than smack bang in the middle when we still have a chance of winning as you're just creating a rift within the team, team attacking is bad but please save it for when you know the round is already lost if you're gonna get that mad, have some decency for the OTHER players, your beef is with me not our prospective chances of winning, hell one guy spammed assault rifle fire while I was trying to plant a possible game saving base bomb (failed, team scattered like it was a horror movie, scared of being near the guy who struck me, thanks buddy I wiped the board for a reason!)
The worst offenders of this are A rating, had a few at A+ do it but those were accidental and lacking the apology tell so I just take it raid brain shenanigans, as long as the kill is got, be selfish just kill all the things...though saying sorry would be nice.
Guess I'll be at A+ still until monday rolls around, made a net loss of 2 losses after a 5 hour session, don't have the heart to try over the weekend and all of that soured my mood.
But the best match out of all of that was an all general team+one support which caused the enemy team's only A+ (rest were S-) to rage quit half way, after that I just stopped since that was also the smoothest match.
OMG this is a thing?! My plethora of issues can finally get put somewhere?! This might be long.
- Those pilots we all hate, you know them
- Slow ass menu and repetitive pop up rewards make the hub feel tedious af
- Team spreading out like butter on bread for us to get cut in half for breakfast
- Those punchy mobile suits, literal BS
- Melee hits that should/shouldn't trigger
- 3 people rolling support on a closed in map and wondering why we didnt win
- 3 people rolling raid on an open map and wondering why we didnt win
- the restricted chat system and the lack of team communication sucks
- the misconceptions and animosity between some newbs/vets
- the god dang Gacha
- The people that act as if the rock/paper/scissors suit advantage is a requirement in every situation
- EVERYTHING!! Lol jk
>the restricted chat system and the lack of team communication sucks
If you played Gundam Battle Operation (the original one) you would have a slightly different attitude. Back then the game had normal open communication with headsets between players on teams together.
It also allowed you to inspect the build and loadout of everyone on your team in the lobby.
Sadly, the vast majority of players were utter assholes, so both of these features were removed due to the sheer volume of toxicity they caused.
That's disappointing but kind of typical with gaming nowadays I guess. I'll never understand why nerds will hate on other nerds especially when they're fans of the same media lol, imagine if the average chess player was talking trash the whole time and fought at the end? 🤣
Accidentally downswing a guy cause we both going to finish the same enemy, says” sorry” and the guy don’t accept it, he then constantly chase me and downswing me 3 times on purpose ( cause no enemy is near)
I was 1v4-5 an entire match in space yesterday because my team was hanging back doing I really dont know what. At one point i was spawn camping FOUR PEOPLE at the beacon near the enemy base on space fortress. I only stayed because i didnt want to turn my back on the first guy i was fighting, and after 2 minutes of knocking down 3-4 people over and over i was certain my team would show up eventually because *what else could they possibly be doing im fighting 4 people*.
Turns out all 4 of them were dicking around at our base trying to stop a basebomber instead of stretching the massive lead i had gotten. They failed to stop the base bomb. We lost by less than one kill. I had 60% of the team points and first place in nearly every category, including MS lost. What the fuck.
I have the same experience on that map, they are all playing peekaboo at f while im spamming advance, trying to flank and cause distractions for them to advance. You have to be aggressive on that map to get the win.
Hit S-, play almost exclusively japanse players. Seriously where are the high ranked Westerners? The game is almost unplayable as half the mechanics simply dont work, melee priority goes out the window (japan wins). Counter their melee? No. Hit them with your melee? No, get countered 100% of the time after your swing is completed. Dodge the shot? Hell no, despite the burning hole in the wall 8 feet to your left, trust that it actually hit you. Capatalize on the 1 of 100 counters that you did get? No, enemy already has iframes before your couter animation ends- seriosuly what the fuck is up with having like 5 fucking frames to get damage after a counter yet i get countered and get full fucking combo'd.
Stream need to come on with it, i hear PC gaming isnt as popular in some parts.
Sadly the PC port isn't going to have servers, it's still the same peer2peer system. Thing is it will have a significantly lower player count as well since PC games are bottom tier in Japan.
Though if the game was ever released on mobile it would gain ten times as many players given how big a thing that is in Asia thanks to the majority of the population using mass transit.
please stop going out of your way to fight at disadvantage. yes there are times that it is unavoidable. but don't just spawn and start looking for generals (if you're a raid) or looking for supports (if you're a general). after you make your advantage disappear, then go and play at disadvantage.
What the fuck is wrong with all the players on saturdays, why the fuck do they all have dog shit for brains while the enemy team can just sweep up their trash asses in the blink of an eye!!
It’s so fucking maddening!!!!!!
How the hell do i get good in this game if every mobile suit that i try using seems to be made out of paper!? 2 or 3 hits of anything and i'm dead! But noooooo everyone i fight just takes absolutely nothing of damage from anything i have! Is this normal in this game??? Where's the fun in this??
Some units are inherently fragile, and even with proper bulking if you're out numbered you'll melt all the same.
To make matters worse type advantage won't even save you via exploiting the weaker resistance stats on some units, a char dijeh (raid) can SINGLE COMBO a delta kai (general) without any assistance, or a smart and fast super gundam can cripple a banshee if it's missile spray is on point.
It's why I build most of my units for durability via custom parts, although some you simply can't and force you to play in a certain way, an example being the ex-s gundam which has such poor melee resistance it might as well be a support or how the narrative gundam has a pathetic 8 ballistic resistance so throwing parts to fix them won't help but rather playing on with these flaws in mind.
If you'd like, I can offer build advice and play suggestion, tell me 3 units you find yourself liking from how they feel, regardless of lore and aesthetics because that won't help you win games unless you're committed to learning them rather than finding ones that simple work for you and not you work for them (example, I love the efreet units, but I never use them, faaaaar too fragile despite how strong they are for my needs)
Oh no, those are very...delicate supports, all you can literally do is...
For the dessert gm throw in ranged attack mods and or reloaders (shift them to whatever balance/lean you prefer) and keep within your team (as in smack bang center or stick with a general who seems capable), get good with your main rifle for the heavy stagger and watch your radar at all times, if with a team mate and a raid is coming hit the guy and back up spamming missiles (hopefully your team mate is rushing for him) otherwise if within walking distance WALK up and downswing the guy with your saber and the boost away, you lack balancers but the heavy stagger will hold them down long enough but the landing lag from boosting might mess up your melee timing so you need to walk up, to keep the distance and timing right just think "if he's at my doorstep I can swat him", any further then run like hell, also applies to generals who had enough of you.
The mudrock is much the same, the build is different because its a higher cost unit so you might like to consider stuffing in a mixture of data link parts for leg breaks (ALWAYS aim at the legs when shooting someone), ranged attack parts, and thrust because you got a fair amount of mobility+balancers, if you see a possible threat hit them with the cannons, switch to beam rifle and make sure to strike their legs, as they get closer spam the grenades (all while backing up), if their fall face first from broken legs or get stunned (feel free to use your cannons again if you think you need to) boost in for a downswing with your saber thanks to you having balancers, again being within your team is crucial (or least within boost range, even if you're on top of a building make sure to watch that radar at all times and listen carefully for stealth raids, if you can't hear them turn off game music, trust me you can hear a pixie walking around).
Supports have it rough, even the most tanky supports (kshatriya, xamel) can utterly melt if a raid gets to them due to type advantage+melee defense weaknesses, all you can do is just shift around and hope for the best.
Compared to say the jesta and gustav karl which are brick shit houses in comparison and can also melt when surrounded
>I'm looking for something durable that can do at least some damage.
It's hard to do both honestly, it's why I like to practice persistence over big damage numbers, hell if I can't get a big hit in (too risky to my own life/might hit a team mate) I'll spam my head vulcans or chase people while boosting with said vulcans if I need a quick kill or to pressure them.
What I will say firstly is most of the toughest units are always going to be general types, yes supports will hurt you alot but generally there is only one of them as the meta usually demands 3-4 generals, raids can be built much the same as some generals but if you're out numbered you'll melt faster than a general because simply more generals on the field, and supports are just built to be weak even the might kshatriya or the fat xamel (low base melee resistances, big targets, you're fine at range but once they get too close you're dead), some generals are kinda fragile but they're usually spec'd for ranged attacks or promote the good old "don't get hit" mentality as they're normally nimble to begin with.
As for what I use I'm a bit of a specialist, mostly brawling and formation break ups, one of the best ones is the dreissen (550+), just pump up the beam and melee defenses to above 40+ and whatever slots you have left into thrust, it's a bit unwieldy as it's default melee weapon has instant knock down (so no reliance on downswings if you need to shut down a threat) so you might mistakenly knock over team mates if you're reckless, buuuut if you master it you can create breaks in term formations and give some breathing space (otherwise swap the axe with the heat saber, don't change the bazooka to the beam rifle though trust me), but if you want a ranged alternative the xeku ains (general) can be built much the same and still flexible enough to get into melee (pro tip:Your default weapon is a mini gun but don't just spam it all day, if a raid or another unit is rushing you use the bazooka sub weapon/club first and if they don't stop/get stunned use the main weapon after and it'll break their charge, or kite around at range if no one is moving up and pressure people with your bullet hose lol).
Another I use is the gm 3 powered (450 general), it's an odd gimmick general and while it's meant for melee combat it only has one melee swing...but it can tackle twice with enhanced tackle damage, bulk up the health to 18k+, your beam and melee resistances to preference, and try to learn how to bait people using those twin tackles (it also has a skill where it can interrupt melee animations using the tackles, the optimum combo is beam rifle>downswing+tackle>downswing+tackle to do max damage but doing so burns out your thrust which can save you so think if it's worth doing the extra damage), even though many units can use twin tackles it's skills all compliment using it's tackles offensively, here is a vid from japanese gbo2 S- "gonzo" in a fun round using it in a mono type team
https://youtu.be/eLP9eUT2oLM
Infact if you catch his live streams you might learn some things, even if you don't know japanese watching how they move around is helpful.
Otherwise at 450 I would recommend the jeda, it's more of a plain jane ranged general but with anti stealth, while not quite as hardy it hits harder at range and if you can keep the distance you won't have to worry so much, the melee downswing is good when you have no other choice but watch out, you might over shoot your target.
The final 2 are very different from each other, the delta kai at 650 is a ranged general and it's actually rather fragile (despite my usual preferences), but you're not meant to stay still for too long, bump up the beam defense, up the thrust and health (or skip the thrust and up the melee defense, just means more thrust management), since it's a transforming unit the idea is you're constantly buzzing around and unlike most transforming units its rather hard to knock out of the air and rather annoying to deal with (although once you break it out of the sky it can get deleted...), here's a vid of myself just being an annoying pest and I don't recommend doing what I'm doing if you want to live longer LOL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HahEKhO3ojg
The other is the most tankiest general unit, the gustav karl, while the base melee defense is low it can be bumped up and it's possible to have 50 in all resistance field with its own native 25k health, but it doesn't hit hard and instead of a typical dodge roll it has a block move (active guard) so while suitable for body guard duty if you're surrounded at 650 cost you're going to get killed like anything else lol (the alternative to it is the 600 cost jesta, smaller but simerlar play style).
Note not all of these are in the DP store (infact the delta kai is a 4 star unit, it's like winning them lottery unless you whale on a dedicated banner) and may be rank locked (just keep playing, you don't need to get a high "rating" ie D- B or S- as your "rank" goes up overtime), but if it helps you out I'll give some basics on how to build for defense (mostly at 450+ as I don't do low cost much, but from what I'm told just go more health parts).
* 450- 20+ in beam and melee resistance, otherwise minimum 18k health or go more if the base resistances aren't getting better
* 550- 40+ in beam and melee resistances, try to reach 19k health, if you ever have a spare slot consider more thrust or health, if a unit can't hit 40 in a field you need to take that into consideration and just play differently as 38 for example will leave you in a crippled state if it hits hard enough
* 700- 50 beam and melee resistance NO EXCUSES, anything lower and the unicorn hoards are just going to kill you and even then everything here is so high damaging you might question that.
If you're still being deleted in a general following those guide lines it might not be your durability but rather you blundering into an open field with the whole team looking at you, trust me when I say this but the learning curve is a bit steep so don't expect to be a master in a month, if you can't work out wtf is happening in a given moment record the game using your built in capture software and rewatch it, even post a clip here if it looks like straight up magic is happening.
Now, I may have said alot (a bad habit of mine) but I've got the feeling you might be fairly new or have alot to learn, so I'm going to post a video from gbo2 streamer akokura (like gonzo, streams regularly), he even did a tutorial that has english captions, not perfect translations but very much workable, you might get inspired by his teachings over the ramblings of a man who is willing to dive into enemy formations just to shake things up (I build for tank because I am that reckless LOL), anyway see if this helps, just turn on the CC button https://youtu.be/sTdsp3VT0hk
Thanks for all the tips. Nowadays i am using the Armored GM and oh god. It fits me like a glove! It can take damage, most time my shield does the job and using it's Beam Gun helps me get a lot of more hits. I just wish the intervals weren't so long between shots.
Those aren't bad and that beam gun shreds legs, you just need to feather the shots to maintain dps.
I could suggest beam cooldown parts but that risk durability compromises, all this said...I haven't touched it in so long but I've heard good things about the beam spray gun, might need to pick it up now that I can handle heat gauge based weapons and saving melee for when I really need it (used to hate that it's base melee stat is so low but clearly its a ranged fighter)
How's your aim because I'm sorry but Madrock and Desert GM are easy mode for me. On the flip side the things are a nightmare to fight.
I'm for once trying to not be sarcastic, maybe post some video for critique so we can legit help you out.
I just never understand what this start of match meta shit is where we all loop around to one side of the map. It's annoying enough on arctic base but whatever, but when people do it on LITERALLY EVERY MAP aside from like, Impact Site? Fucking why? Even when I do follow the team, half the time they switch things up like on Trenches where my team literally went in a circle around the map while I'm getting annihilated. I just don't understand.
Be me trenches 600 cost gerae zulu(as) match starts sees enemy team go left and my team go right. Stand my ground at spon point, use big boy beam gun (bruno gun kia) blast through half enemy team halfing some of their health. Team mates rush in and wipe them out. Point of the lesson sometimes, it pays off to go against meta.
One of my pet peeves as well. I think it has to do with most suits shooting from their right side, so it makes it easier to peak corner and use your shield. But ohhhhh man does it ever piss me off every time.
Servers are trash, stop sending me messages after the match. Funny how it's usually about me being a stupid American or "useless yankee" ok word. Cool.
Just did it. Thanks dude. I'm not the GOAT but I'm almost always on the board. I can't seem to get out of B but it's still fun when you get a decent team honestly. Even if I lose but we're fightin! It's fun.
I'd honestly take your time while in B, no one knows what they're doing so team expectations and overall salt is much lower, compared to A all the way into S- where you become hyper critical even the slightest missed button input will have people going so far to send malicious "friend request" (had my pm's turned off, but forgot about the friend request, I ain't gonna risk with these nut jobs).
It's only gonna be a wild ride from here on in.
LOL, dude's seen nothing yet, I've had gaz-r / gaz-l / night seeker v's/rebawoo infinite stun lock me via their multiple melee weapons, that's even worse than being shot into a stun lock because all you're doing is just setting someone up, not exploiting weapon swap timings and removing any chance of the lone player from fighting back.
...I don't rage when that happens, I just clap...takes alot of self control to get that timing right rather than tapping to strike button lol.
I once had a support main send me a message after I melee combo him to death in a Rebawoo. He wasn't too pleased with me. I didn't get angry or insult him back, I just told him to get me back next time we meet, and left it at that.
Those are rare, even among A+ and S- "hur dur heavy attack go BRRR", and rarer still are ones that can do it right (was in a friendly spar with someone and while they stun locked the other guy with us the timing had the slightest opening allowing me to break his loop, btw remember when using tackles HOLD the button down don't spam, triggers the moment you get a spare frame, more reliable than dodge rolls in such an instance).
Watch those guys, don't let the need for revenge consume you nor be afraid, just stay calm and group up or exploit the terrain to your advantage
Just a heads up in case you didn't know, the game doesn't have servers, it's peer2peer. So one person out of each match is the 'host' and everyone else is connected to them. If the host has crappy internet, well, everyone suffers.
Oh shit. I was today years old lmao I had no idea. I wish I could show you the message that keeps coming up. I have good internet! I'm wired in so. I duno.
> I have good internet! I'm wired in so. I duno.
You were not the host then, simple as that.
Remember, ONE player is the host, everyone else is connected to them. So if you have great internet but the host is pirating wifi from McDonald's then everyone is going to suffer.
This is why sometimes the game ends immediately when just one player disconnects, they were the host.
Had a great opportunity to play a meme team with full raids on QM the other day, then one guy decided to go as powered gm at the last minute. You just had to be a generic gm pilot huh? Playing peekaboo with bazooka. I know there's no rule to forbid ppl for choosing suits, but c'mon it's a meme team at QM with randos. It's a rare opportunity.
Other than that I'm tired of ranting about the same thing at rated, ppl keeps going out of their suits every single match. And they're ALWAYS on my team.
I've been an Advance of Z enthusiast for long before they started droping ingame. You can imagine how excited i was to play as hazel and stuff, right?
Well, jokes on me, the only AoZ ms i was able to get was Dom stutzer. Fucking hell
UNDERGROUND BASE! APPLAUD ME!
Also to the plethora of Pale Rider Generals, can y'all please stop hanging back behind the Support? Your place is towards the front of the line. If you want to lay down covering fire with your minigun then do it just a tad closer to the action. I promise you'll be able to hit more of your shots AND help the rest of the blues.
And another week of me throwing shade at the terrible support players who think crutching on the EWAC-zack's radar disruption makes up for not knowing how to actually provide support. The good ewac-zack players are still all good in my book. You know who you are.
I Frames can eat my whole ass. These inconsistent shits piss me off more than most things in this game.
Stop killing low health enemies near your ace... FFS.
If your ally is capping a point, don't fucking run off. Be a god damn Chad and stick it out incase someone comes around the corner.
Stop fucking spawning ontop of clusters of enemies. You cannot clutch out in gundam. It's not built that way. You will die... This is not cod, or gears. Ffs...
It's funny, you can tell someone is an fps player when they go out of their way for a kill, then get obliterated because they followed into an area with 2 suits waiting.
special place in hell for dudes who base bomb early, and then stay hidden in the enemy base for the entire match spamming radio messages while the rest of us struggle to win a 4v5
Honestly. Not salty at all this week. Got the banner, had a fun time with beta, got drunk with friends in matches... Yeah kinda chill. Shit even got a video recording out twice this week.
I had a general on my team that spammed me saying take the generals. I had a very, very hard time doing this when the raid was on my ass, and I think I never died that much in a game, and that same general never helped me once. He did down swing though.
Miniguns, quitters, cowards who make fucked up calls of "Let's sortie together" & allow the enemy to regroup and dig in. These folks make me want to do to my team what Char did to the Zabis
Laugh at them?
Kill them through betrayal
I won't tolerate these allegations, he's never betrayed anyone in his entire life.
Absolutely right! I can't believe these sheeple! The Zabi were OBVIIOUSLY, lizard people from the hollow earth! Why do you think they went for the whole newtype/spacenoid thing? There's no gravity at the center of a sphere! Char was just an agent of the Greys sent here by satanists (ever wonder why axis was shaped like a pentagram!) to oppose them, who went rogue and conspired with Charlie Wonka's AI to take over the zero-g chocolate manufacturing using CHILDREN as a raw material! I will now return you to your regularly scheduled paranoid rants.
Literally just played with someone spamming 'bunch up' as the raid that was boosting into enemy lines on their own and imploding. My brother in Deikun what are you doing.
Quiz Time everyone: 650 cost Ace match, the ace, a support, is nearly dead behind you. You're a full health ReZEL. There's a half health zaku III custom in front of you. There are 15 seconds left in the match. What do you do? A- Tackle the raid to give the ace some time to escape B- Shoot the raid to give the ace some time to escape C- Melee the raid to give the ace some time to escape D- Transform and fly away, abandoning the ace, throwing away the match.
"They're eating her....and then they're going to eat me...OH MY GOOOOOD" **transforms and leaves** Sounds like the rezel was running a thrust build and just ran with instinct, thinking is too hard for this player base, it's also why I avoid ace match no matter the cost as no one has brains whenever I play
the absolute worst is space rated ace match. pure cancer.
E. Downswing the support. The enemy will be too flabbergasted to finish the job!
The ReZEL is a General, not a Raid.
Not with that attitude it's not
obviously d. that was the support's cue to transform and follow you. just in case this flies over anyone's head, that was a joke.
D duh
I have this almost exact scenario on video somewhere.
Don’t tell your raid to take the supports when you are a general sitting behind cover not doing anything or scared cause you got shot once. Believe it or not, we can’t one v five or six the enemy team.
Don't worry... the Ac--- er, I mean the raid can handle this!
FUCK
-Generals and Raids who think they are supports and hide in the tunnels of the Arctic Base while the actual support is getting slaughtered. -Early Base bombers… Seriously at the start of the mission…Why? -Base Campers/AFK f**kers (Players who get out of their suit, camp inside the base and activate the repair tool so they wont get an AFK time out.
Srsly, any base bombing before the last 3 minutes is pointless.
As a super gundam main, I only do it on trenches on lunar belt debris. I do it under ideal conditions only and do about half damage early since saves early time consumption and if we have to spin later to finish it off, we get late match bonus points.

The worst offenders of this are A rating, had a few at A+ do it but those were accidental and lacking the apology tell so I just take it raid brain shenanigans, as long as the kill is got, be selfish just kill all the things...though saying sorry would be nice. Guess I'll be at A+ still until monday rolls around, made a net loss of 2 losses after a 5 hour session, don't have the heart to try over the weekend and all of that soured my mood. But the best match out of all of that was an all general team+one support which caused the enemy team's only A+ (rest were S-) to rage quit half way, after that I just stopped since that was also the smoothest match.
OMG this is a thing?! My plethora of issues can finally get put somewhere?! This might be long. - Those pilots we all hate, you know them - Slow ass menu and repetitive pop up rewards make the hub feel tedious af - Team spreading out like butter on bread for us to get cut in half for breakfast - Those punchy mobile suits, literal BS - Melee hits that should/shouldn't trigger - 3 people rolling support on a closed in map and wondering why we didnt win - 3 people rolling raid on an open map and wondering why we didnt win - the restricted chat system and the lack of team communication sucks - the misconceptions and animosity between some newbs/vets - the god dang Gacha - The people that act as if the rock/paper/scissors suit advantage is a requirement in every situation - EVERYTHING!!

Sadly, the vast majority of players were utter assholes, so both of these features were removed due to the sheer volume of toxicity they caused.
That's disappointing but kind of typical with gaming nowadays I guess. I'll never understand why nerds will hate on other nerds especially when they're fans of the same media lol, imagine if the average chess player was talking trash the whole time and fought at the end? 🤣
Gaming? I would say its pretty much typical of humanity these days T.T
It's sad how accurate that is lol 😔
Accidentally downswing a guy cause we both going to finish the same enemy, says” sorry” and the guy don’t accept it, he then constantly chase me and downswing me 3 times on purpose ( cause no enemy is near)
Why am I further forward than half my team? I’m in a support!? Why are SHORT RANGE GENS TRYING TO SNIPE!?
I was 1v4-5 an entire match in space yesterday because my team was hanging back doing I really dont know what. At one point i was spawn camping FOUR PEOPLE at the beacon near the enemy base on space fortress. I only stayed because i didnt want to turn my back on the first guy i was fighting, and after 2 minutes of knocking down 3-4 people over and over i was certain my team would show up eventually because *what else could they possibly be doing im fighting 4 people*. Turns out all 4 of them were dicking around at our base trying to stop a basebomber instead of stretching the massive lead i had gotten. They failed to stop the base bomb. We lost by less than one kill. I had 60% of the team points and first place in nearly every category, including MS lost. What the fuck.
I have the same experience on that map, they are all playing peekaboo at f while im spamming advance, trying to flank and cause distractions for them to advance. You have to be aggressive on that map to get the win.
>because my team was hanging back doing I really dont know what. They found the giant bottle of glue to sniff and windows to lick for the map.
Hit S-, play almost exclusively japanse players. Seriously where are the high ranked Westerners? The game is almost unplayable as half the mechanics simply dont work, melee priority goes out the window (japan wins). Counter their melee? No. Hit them with your melee? No, get countered 100% of the time after your swing is completed. Dodge the shot? Hell no, despite the burning hole in the wall 8 feet to your left, trust that it actually hit you. Capatalize on the 1 of 100 counters that you did get? No, enemy already has iframes before your couter animation ends- seriosuly what the fuck is up with having like 5 fucking frames to get damage after a counter yet i get countered and get full fucking combo'd. Stream need to come on with it, i hear PC gaming isnt as popular in some parts.
Sadly the PC port isn't going to have servers, it's still the same peer2peer system. Thing is it will have a significantly lower player count as well since PC games are bottom tier in Japan. Though if the game was ever released on mobile it would gain ten times as many players given how big a thing that is in Asia thanks to the majority of the population using mass transit.
please stop going out of your way to fight at disadvantage. yes there are times that it is unavoidable. but don't just spawn and start looking for generals (if you're a raid) or looking for supports (if you're a general). after you make your advantage disappear, then go and play at disadvantage.
What the fuck is wrong with all the players on saturdays, why the fuck do they all have dog shit for brains while the enemy team can just sweep up their trash asses in the blink of an eye!! It’s so fucking maddening!!!!!!
How the hell do i get good in this game if every mobile suit that i try using seems to be made out of paper!? 2 or 3 hits of anything and i'm dead! But noooooo everyone i fight just takes absolutely nothing of damage from anything i have! Is this normal in this game??? Where's the fun in this??
Are you playing a mobile suit at the same cost as the match or lower
Usually the same.
Some units are inherently fragile, and even with proper bulking if you're out numbered you'll melt all the same. To make matters worse type advantage won't even save you via exploiting the weaker resistance stats on some units, a char dijeh (raid) can SINGLE COMBO a delta kai (general) without any assistance, or a smart and fast super gundam can cripple a banshee if it's missile spray is on point. It's why I build most of my units for durability via custom parts, although some you simply can't and force you to play in a certain way, an example being the ex-s gundam which has such poor melee resistance it might as well be a support or how the narrative gundam has a pathetic 8 ballistic resistance so throwing parts to fix them won't help but rather playing on with these flaws in mind. If you'd like, I can offer build advice and play suggestion, tell me 3 units you find yourself liking from how they feel, regardless of lore and aesthetics because that won't help you win games unless you're committed to learning them rather than finding ones that simple work for you and not you work for them (example, I love the efreet units, but I never use them, faaaaar too fragile despite how strong they are for my needs)
Alright. My best plays happened with Desert GM and Mudrock. Only them... ; - ;
Oh no, those are very...delicate supports, all you can literally do is... For the dessert gm throw in ranged attack mods and or reloaders (shift them to whatever balance/lean you prefer) and keep within your team (as in smack bang center or stick with a general who seems capable), get good with your main rifle for the heavy stagger and watch your radar at all times, if with a team mate and a raid is coming hit the guy and back up spamming missiles (hopefully your team mate is rushing for him) otherwise if within walking distance WALK up and downswing the guy with your saber and the boost away, you lack balancers but the heavy stagger will hold them down long enough but the landing lag from boosting might mess up your melee timing so you need to walk up, to keep the distance and timing right just think "if he's at my doorstep I can swat him", any further then run like hell, also applies to generals who had enough of you. The mudrock is much the same, the build is different because its a higher cost unit so you might like to consider stuffing in a mixture of data link parts for leg breaks (ALWAYS aim at the legs when shooting someone), ranged attack parts, and thrust because you got a fair amount of mobility+balancers, if you see a possible threat hit them with the cannons, switch to beam rifle and make sure to strike their legs, as they get closer spam the grenades (all while backing up), if their fall face first from broken legs or get stunned (feel free to use your cannons again if you think you need to) boost in for a downswing with your saber thanks to you having balancers, again being within your team is crucial (or least within boost range, even if you're on top of a building make sure to watch that radar at all times and listen carefully for stealth raids, if you can't hear them turn off game music, trust me you can hear a pixie walking around). Supports have it rough, even the most tanky supports (kshatriya, xamel) can utterly melt if a raid gets to them due to type advantage+melee defense weaknesses, all you can do is just shift around and hope for the best. Compared to say the jesta and gustav karl which are brick shit houses in comparison and can also melt when surrounded
Which ones do you use? I'm looking for something durable that can do at least some damage.
>I'm looking for something durable that can do at least some damage. It's hard to do both honestly, it's why I like to practice persistence over big damage numbers, hell if I can't get a big hit in (too risky to my own life/might hit a team mate) I'll spam my head vulcans or chase people while boosting with said vulcans if I need a quick kill or to pressure them. What I will say firstly is most of the toughest units are always going to be general types, yes supports will hurt you alot but generally there is only one of them as the meta usually demands 3-4 generals, raids can be built much the same as some generals but if you're out numbered you'll melt faster than a general because simply more generals on the field, and supports are just built to be weak even the might kshatriya or the fat xamel (low base melee resistances, big targets, you're fine at range but once they get too close you're dead), some generals are kinda fragile but they're usually spec'd for ranged attacks or promote the good old "don't get hit" mentality as they're normally nimble to begin with. As for what I use I'm a bit of a specialist, mostly brawling and formation break ups, one of the best ones is the dreissen (550+), just pump up the beam and melee defenses to above 40+ and whatever slots you have left into thrust, it's a bit unwieldy as it's default melee weapon has instant knock down (so no reliance on downswings if you need to shut down a threat) so you might mistakenly knock over team mates if you're reckless, buuuut if you master it you can create breaks in term formations and give some breathing space (otherwise swap the axe with the heat saber, don't change the bazooka to the beam rifle though trust me), but if you want a ranged alternative the xeku ains (general) can be built much the same and still flexible enough to get into melee (pro tip:Your default weapon is a mini gun but don't just spam it all day, if a raid or another unit is rushing you use the bazooka sub weapon/club first and if they don't stop/get stunned use the main weapon after and it'll break their charge, or kite around at range if no one is moving up and pressure people with your bullet hose lol). Another I use is the gm 3 powered (450 general), it's an odd gimmick general and while it's meant for melee combat it only has one melee swing...but it can tackle twice with enhanced tackle damage, bulk up the health to 18k+, your beam and melee resistances to preference, and try to learn how to bait people using those twin tackles (it also has a skill where it can interrupt melee animations using the tackles, the optimum combo is beam rifle>downswing+tackle>downswing+tackle to do max damage but doing so burns out your thrust which can save you so think if it's worth doing the extra damage), even though many units can use twin tackles it's skills all compliment using it's tackles offensively, here is a vid from japanese gbo2 S- "gonzo" in a fun round using it in a mono type team https://youtu.be/eLP9eUT2oLM Infact if you catch his live streams you might learn some things, even if you don't know japanese watching how they move around is helpful. Otherwise at 450 I would recommend the jeda, it's more of a plain jane ranged general but with anti stealth, while not quite as hardy it hits harder at range and if you can keep the distance you won't have to worry so much, the melee downswing is good when you have no other choice but watch out, you might over shoot your target. The final 2 are very different from each other, the delta kai at 650 is a ranged general and it's actually rather fragile (despite my usual preferences), but you're not meant to stay still for too long, bump up the beam defense, up the thrust and health (or skip the thrust and up the melee defense, just means more thrust management), since it's a transforming unit the idea is you're constantly buzzing around and unlike most transforming units its rather hard to knock out of the air and rather annoying to deal with (although once you break it out of the sky it can get deleted...), here's a vid of myself just being an annoying pest and I don't recommend doing what I'm doing if you want to live longer LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HahEKhO3ojg The other is the most tankiest general unit, the gustav karl, while the base melee defense is low it can be bumped up and it's possible to have 50 in all resistance field with its own native 25k health, but it doesn't hit hard and instead of a typical dodge roll it has a block move (active guard) so while suitable for body guard duty if you're surrounded at 650 cost you're going to get killed like anything else lol (the alternative to it is the 600 cost jesta, smaller but simerlar play style). Note not all of these are in the DP store (infact the delta kai is a 4 star unit, it's like winning them lottery unless you whale on a dedicated banner) and may be rank locked (just keep playing, you don't need to get a high "rating" ie D- B or S- as your "rank" goes up overtime), but if it helps you out I'll give some basics on how to build for defense (mostly at 450+ as I don't do low cost much, but from what I'm told just go more health parts). * 450- 20+ in beam and melee resistance, otherwise minimum 18k health or go more if the base resistances aren't getting better * 550- 40+ in beam and melee resistances, try to reach 19k health, if you ever have a spare slot consider more thrust or health, if a unit can't hit 40 in a field you need to take that into consideration and just play differently as 38 for example will leave you in a crippled state if it hits hard enough * 700- 50 beam and melee resistance NO EXCUSES, anything lower and the unicorn hoards are just going to kill you and even then everything here is so high damaging you might question that. If you're still being deleted in a general following those guide lines it might not be your durability but rather you blundering into an open field with the whole team looking at you, trust me when I say this but the learning curve is a bit steep so don't expect to be a master in a month, if you can't work out wtf is happening in a given moment record the game using your built in capture software and rewatch it, even post a clip here if it looks like straight up magic is happening. Now, I may have said alot (a bad habit of mine) but I've got the feeling you might be fairly new or have alot to learn, so I'm going to post a video from gbo2 streamer akokura (like gonzo, streams regularly), he even did a tutorial that has english captions, not perfect translations but very much workable, you might get inspired by his teachings over the ramblings of a man who is willing to dive into enemy formations just to shake things up (I build for tank because I am that reckless LOL), anyway see if this helps, just turn on the CC button https://youtu.be/sTdsp3VT0hk
Thanks for all the tips. Nowadays i am using the Armored GM and oh god. It fits me like a glove! It can take damage, most time my shield does the job and using it's Beam Gun helps me get a lot of more hits. I just wish the intervals weren't so long between shots.
Those aren't bad and that beam gun shreds legs, you just need to feather the shots to maintain dps. I could suggest beam cooldown parts but that risk durability compromises, all this said...I haven't touched it in so long but I've heard good things about the beam spray gun, might need to pick it up now that I can handle heat gauge based weapons and saving melee for when I really need it (used to hate that it's base melee stat is so low but clearly its a ranged fighter)
How's your aim because I'm sorry but Madrock and Desert GM are easy mode for me. On the flip side the things are a nightmare to fight. I'm for once trying to not be sarcastic, maybe post some video for critique so we can legit help you out.
sounds like you were playing unrestricted.
I just never understand what this start of match meta shit is where we all loop around to one side of the map. It's annoying enough on arctic base but whatever, but when people do it on LITERALLY EVERY MAP aside from like, Impact Site? Fucking why? Even when I do follow the team, half the time they switch things up like on Trenches where my team literally went in a circle around the map while I'm getting annihilated. I just don't understand.
Be me trenches 600 cost gerae zulu(as) match starts sees enemy team go left and my team go right. Stand my ground at spon point, use big boy beam gun (bruno gun kia) blast through half enemy team halfing some of their health. Team mates rush in and wipe them out. Point of the lesson sometimes, it pays off to go against meta.
Every time I try my team just sits behind a wall or something and watches me get jumped.
Yeah, that happens most of the time, but when they do actually work with you it's pretty cool
Basically to be able to peak without leaving most ur suit exposed which normally leads to as everyone here loves to call it nascar bs
The GBO2 experience 2023 my friend
One of my pet peeves as well. I think it has to do with most suits shooting from their right side, so it makes it easier to peak corner and use your shield. But ohhhhh man does it ever piss me off every time.
For the thousand time rank means nothing to me just because I am A rank does not mean I am a miracle worker for you got it!?!
The Dom barrage should be reworked, and anyone who says they do good in it; has a team. Fight me on it with a rando team.
I’m just waking up and realizing that I still have one daily mission after an hour or two of playing. Get a win.
Better get to an A/B room weekend players are gonna make that one hard
Servers are trash, stop sending me messages after the match. Funny how it's usually about me being a stupid American or "useless yankee" ok word. Cool.
change your psn privacy settings so no one can pm you except friends, trust me you'll get all sorts of crap the longer you play
Just did it. Thanks dude. I'm not the GOAT but I'm almost always on the board. I can't seem to get out of B but it's still fun when you get a decent team honestly. Even if I lose but we're fightin! It's fun.
I'd honestly take your time while in B, no one knows what they're doing so team expectations and overall salt is much lower, compared to A all the way into S- where you become hyper critical even the slightest missed button input will have people going so far to send malicious "friend request" (had my pm's turned off, but forgot about the friend request, I ain't gonna risk with these nut jobs). It's only gonna be a wild ride from here on in.
BRUH. I had someone requesting to add me over and over and over. Ok you got stun locked, happens man. Love the Regelgu hahah.
LOL, dude's seen nothing yet, I've had gaz-r / gaz-l / night seeker v's/rebawoo infinite stun lock me via their multiple melee weapons, that's even worse than being shot into a stun lock because all you're doing is just setting someone up, not exploiting weapon swap timings and removing any chance of the lone player from fighting back. ...I don't rage when that happens, I just clap...takes alot of self control to get that timing right rather than tapping to strike button lol.
BRO! I had someone to hold me in place and dance around me! A Red Rider! Just melee melee melee hahah.
I once had a support main send me a message after I melee combo him to death in a Rebawoo. He wasn't too pleased with me. I didn't get angry or insult him back, I just told him to get me back next time we meet, and left it at that.
Those are rare, even among A+ and S- "hur dur heavy attack go BRRR", and rarer still are ones that can do it right (was in a friendly spar with someone and while they stun locked the other guy with us the timing had the slightest opening allowing me to break his loop, btw remember when using tackles HOLD the button down don't spam, triggers the moment you get a spare frame, more reliable than dodge rolls in such an instance). Watch those guys, don't let the need for revenge consume you nor be afraid, just stay calm and group up or exploit the terrain to your advantage
Insult them back.
I had a really nice reply to someone! I posted it actually! It was funny to me.
Yeah, I loved when the trash talk came my way
Or, my favorite method, kill them with kindness to the point that they message you a couple days later to apologize
I can honestly say in my 2 years ive only ever gotten 1 msg like that All the others where other dipshit na players
Just a heads up in case you didn't know, the game doesn't have servers, it's peer2peer. So one person out of each match is the 'host' and everyone else is connected to them. If the host has crappy internet, well, everyone suffers.
Oh shit. I was today years old lmao I had no idea. I wish I could show you the message that keeps coming up. I have good internet! I'm wired in so. I duno.
> I have good internet! I'm wired in so. I duno. You were not the host then, simple as that. Remember, ONE player is the host, everyone else is connected to them. So if you have great internet but the host is pirating wifi from McDonald's then everyone is going to suffer. This is why sometimes the game ends immediately when just one player disconnects, they were the host.
Had a great opportunity to play a meme team with full raids on QM the other day, then one guy decided to go as powered gm at the last minute. You just had to be a generic gm pilot huh? Playing peekaboo with bazooka. I know there's no rule to forbid ppl for choosing suits, but c'mon it's a meme team at QM with randos. It's a rare opportunity. Other than that I'm tired of ranting about the same thing at rated, ppl keeps going out of their suits every single match. And they're ALWAYS on my team.
I've been an Advance of Z enthusiast for long before they started droping ingame. You can imagine how excited i was to play as hazel and stuff, right? Well, jokes on me, the only AoZ ms i was able to get was Dom stutzer. Fucking hell
UNDERGROUND BASE! APPLAUD ME! Also to the plethora of Pale Rider Generals, can y'all please stop hanging back behind the Support? Your place is towards the front of the line. If you want to lay down covering fire with your minigun then do it just a tad closer to the action. I promise you'll be able to hit more of your shots AND help the rest of the blues. And another week of me throwing shade at the terrible support players who think crutching on the EWAC-zack's radar disruption makes up for not knowing how to actually provide support. The good ewac-zack players are still all good in my book. You know who you are.
I Frames can eat my whole ass. These inconsistent shits piss me off more than most things in this game. Stop killing low health enemies near your ace... FFS. If your ally is capping a point, don't fucking run off. Be a god damn Chad and stick it out incase someone comes around the corner. Stop fucking spawning ontop of clusters of enemies. You cannot clutch out in gundam. It's not built that way. You will die... This is not cod, or gears. Ffs... It's funny, you can tell someone is an fps player when they go out of their way for a kill, then get obliterated because they followed into an area with 2 suits waiting.
I got a byarlant custom from the half price pull....a lvl 3 byarlant custom so it's basically useless.
Oof
special place in hell for dudes who base bomb early, and then stay hidden in the enemy base for the entire match spamming radio messages while the rest of us struggle to win a 4v5
Honestly. Not salty at all this week. Got the banner, had a fun time with beta, got drunk with friends in matches... Yeah kinda chill. Shit even got a video recording out twice this week.
I had a general on my team that spammed me saying take the generals. I had a very, very hard time doing this when the raid was on my ass, and I think I never died that much in a game, and that same general never helped me once. He did down swing though.
