Ya know....

I'm starting to honestly think everyone player hates me for some reason. I don't know why, but people purposely gun for me. I've noticed teams completely ignore my teammates and only come for me even when my team is trying to attack them. I gotta get like super ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ high to even enjoy this game. It just feels so toxic.

Welcome to GBO2, where your teammates all have brain damage from lead poisoning, the enemy team consist of ace pilots and newtypes, and you have to pay a bajillion real life dollars or play for a year and get lucky to have a decent mobile suit. Just how it is.

Sarcastic as my welcome may sound, it is sincere. If you have any questions or need any help I'm willing to answer or do what I can. I can't carry you up the ladder but I am always happy to give advice or play against you in practice matches. There are of course better players on here than me. Maybe they will be willing to help you too.

i've played the ps4 version. i was hoping steam would have been different. i used to play at launch of the steam version but i kept getting ctd constantly to where any match i tried i got banned for a week so i was like well fine i won't play anymore. but against my better judgement i redownloaded and started playing again. for me its the nostalgia feeling of playing journey to jaburo or something.

i'm not asking to be carried anywhere. only thing i bought was the code fairy stuff. i refuse to spend any more cents on this. it was the same on ps4. only time i bought coins was cause my qubeley was being first released back then.

I bought the code fairy pack as well. Also a token pack, and the first sound pack so I could listen to my own theme song while getting my ass beat. Still down to play if you like and help you adapt to the current meta. I'm not the best but I at least have a decent idea of the meta at D- to A- on Steam. Beyond that I'm told it gets more competitive but can't verify for myself.

If you do this under any circumstances other than cheating, you are the problem.

Look i have a life, I can't play every waking minute of every hour. I play cause i like gundam and it has nostalgic controls. matches like those are absolutely no fun and just creates depression. so why even try at that point. so i just give up.

Well there could all sorts of reasons why the enemy team would be targeting you and there's nothing about it you should take personally. And in lopsided matches like those where your team is clearly doomed, everyone in your whole team is gonna end up being targeted and mowed down.

These games happen every so often to everyone. it really sucks and its disheartening but the only thing to do is to take a break and come back later hoping you and the rando teammates will vibe better next time.

Are you using a really bright color scheme? That'd do it.

I'm sorry everyone, it was probably my bpd being triggered. Its because of my mental health is why i normally don't try communicating. I just end up assuming everyone hates me then i isolate myself from any communication.

I understand. It can definitely seem like people are singling you out, but a lot of the time, it's just confirmation bias: You remember the times it happened to you, but you don't consider the times it could be happening to a teammate you aren't seeing.

Believe me, I get the same thing. Play a support, wonder why your team isn't doing anything to help peel raids off you, despite being right next to you. Play a raid, have the enemy team go well out of their way to defend the isolated support, and think to yourself "jesus christ, nobody ever does this for me when I'M playing support". To some extent, that might be true, but I have to remind myself it doesn't happen to the extent that it feels like in the moment.

Just try not to take these things too personally. People just kind of go for the first obvious pick they can find, even when it's not always the ideal one. Entirely related:

The first part of this is true (at the risk of being overly cynical, GBO2's playerbase is like nothing else I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot). The second part is obviously exaggerated, so I won't really address that. The third part isn't true at all, though. There are plenty of budget MS that are competitive at really every cost, even as high as 700. I'd be willing to provide suggestions at any given cost, if anyone doubts that.

The one exception to this is 550, because the Perfect Gundam is obviously bs, and 600 on console now that the Over.on exists. I imagine we're all huffing the same copium of "boy I hope these are just exceptions and not the new norm". I guess time will tell.

I had one game with one where we managed to win but we would have still been better off with them playing literally anything else. Our whole team had to sit at the base and guard them basically.

[rocketpunchy]

im pretty sure they wouldve behaved exactly the same way had it been a different suit
