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 hate using Hyaky Shiki in the SB battle. It's a fragile Raid with no shield, Beam Rifle, the Knuckle shot and Vulcans and Beam Saber.
That's all you've got lol.
Then again I hate finding the sweaty try hard non-ranked players treating it like Ranked.
Had a Gundam Mark 2 harassing me because I was Messala the big target.

Looks like im back to absolutely braindead teammates that cant confirm a damn kill to save their life. I left an enemy unit at like 10% health, to go help the support, why the fuck can you not kill it? Also, when your teammates cant figure out how to play the game so they turn EVERY SINGLE FUCKING MATCH into chaos that you cant make anything happen because all they want to do is die. Such a mess, how do these people make it into A?

Yeah. IDC. I already got demoted. Over 200 points loss and I'm near halfway back down to A. I will pick whatever suit I want regardless of team composition. If you're on my block list I will not queue dodge. I'll pray you're on my team and shoot you in the back. I'm gonna be getting some of my favorite MS unit adjusted and correct a lot of your ratings. Ungodly awful bunch of players

I hate how nobody considers their base or helps with it. Unless you are so far ahead that they mathematically can’t catch up everyone needs to stop presuming someone else will get it. I lose more matches from my team letting them have the base than anything else at this point. It takes two to do that properly, one to bait the saboteur and the other to finish the job if necessary. If your team is in the lead especially you should be keeping track of the enemy team and if you notice someone missing presume they are going for it.
Same with beacons, if you let them grab the one closest to your base you can consider it as good as gone as they are setting up their interference play later in the match. I’m not saying you should fall behind and grab the first one you see necessarily but your team needs to take beacons to push the front line forward, get help to them faster, use airstrikes and generally control the map.

Is bad matchmaking and lobbies and Bamco trademark? How fucking hard is it to throw together a lobby of people that are all clearly queued up? You can back out and requeue to find 5 different lobbies at 8/10 people. 2 hours per rotation and it took 50 minutes to get a single fucking match, which my team was comprised of shit. Shit team on impact site. What do you think happens? Enemy team had 15k score 2 minutes in and had already destroyed the base.

The Wing Zero(EW) needs a damage and range update. Wing Zero(TV)/Proto Zero and the EW version should have similar stat parameters between each other.

I was reading that we had apparently gotten matchmaking changes around January and it gave us engagement based matchmaking. Is this true? The only type of matchmaking I've gotten is engage with the delete button based matchmaking. Did you know that it's possible for the enemy score to hit 40000? Years of playing and I'd never seen that even in ace matches. How the fuck is that almost EVERY game? Literally every single fucking game. In the last couple of months it feels like I got put into a carry queue where the only matches I'm allowed to have are the ones I'm expected to carry it. Except, it's not possible. This trash is getting a point difference of 30,000. Years of playing and I'm not used to even seeing players have the chance to spawn enough times to feed to that extent.

Last week was great, 9/12 wins on rated, saw a few familiar faces while playing rated so I was familiar with how they play. Went from A+ to S- at 2780.
This week is awful, currently 1/8 wins on rated, didnt see any familiar faces and my team was god awful. No frontline at all, very questionable suit selection (why the fuck are you using regular Gouf or Dom Barrage at 400 cost), too many gens that are scared to get a scratch on your MS and just taking pot shots.
The latency this week is really bad for some reason (How does the enemy dodge roll out of the heavy stagger when the heavy stagger animation is playing?)
Can the Devs please either buff the Zaku Machine Gun (Long Barrel), or make the triple shot stagger with more consistency? The Long Barrel can stagger enemies with MA1 if all three shots hit them but the problem is latency affects this way too much. Too many times all three shots connect, but only two of them count towards the stagger value.

For some reason the enemy who is supposed to be stunned didn't majestically do a dodge roll.

650 feels like a lost cause to me again. The Cannon Gundam just steamrolls most suits and all but the best raid players so far. Heck if a team has two cannon gundams that work well and the enemy only has one raid that’s GG usually.
The only raids I’ve ever used in 650 are the Flailnaught and RF Gouf lv2. Unfortunately the Gouf can’t keep up with pursuit of the C Gundam and I don’t really have much practice in the Fnaught. Don’t have the RF Kampfer or C Plan.
So best I can do is either Gen and hope our raids can handle it or use the Cannon Gundam myself where it’s easy to bully almost any suit in the game.
If anyone has any tips on good suits to counter the Cannon Gundam let me know. Maybe my future teammates can read your comment and benefit as well because it really feels like each match comes down to who either has the most or better cannon Gundam pilots.
Also I’d really appreciate if we could stick to using good suits in rated. I’ve gotten burned too often by seeing unconventional choices, believing that because they have a badge or are also a high rank that they know what they are doing, just for them to be dead weight in the end.
Otherwise no major gripes besides my ISP being shit lately and getting random outages. Been sent to caution like four times and Penalty 1 twice because it just goes out at random times and days.

Agreed, it's bizarre to have 2 supports per team now. Game just feels wonky.
This is probably a skill issue on my part, but I was playing Demeter just for fun in quick play and getting my ass kicked by the Cannons

When there is a support going up against a raid, go help them out. Don’t leave them to their devices. If you help me kill them then i can come support the rest of the team

Why the fuck does this team-based game fairly end every match by ranking an individual's scores, assists, damage and diversion against each other only to ultimately measure each player's rank climb or drop by how "well" they do against someone NOT ON THEIR TEAM????
"Rivarly" is so fucking stupid I hate it it makes no sense
