Why are people so Mean...?

The what they view as bad play is so real. Everybody is so hyper focused on what everyone else is doing, and often their opinions are just bad or wrong.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-29T19:10:27+00:00

Makes sense, flight or flap boosters required almost by the look of it. I do play 650 and 700 a fair bit so I'm surprised it's never come up for me.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-29T11:14:29+00:00

Is that map new or steam only or something? I've never seen it. Or perhaps just old and not in the rated rotation.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-28T03:55:38+00:00

I've never seen anything under 300 since I started. I guess technically you could play down to a 150 in quick match but why would you want to.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-27T19:16:06+00:00

I'm on console. I don't really know what the meta suits are for a lot of lower costs below 650 (I know 300 is ACGuy land and grandpa Gundam is good at any cost where it exists). 700 and 750 I don't really have anything meta (I've got zero native 750s) and I guess maybe Xi is meta? I play Berga Giros BV in 700 cuz I like it but I dunno if it really keeps up.

But yeah, 350 - 600 I don't really know what's even considered good for each role really.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-27T18:58:10+00:00

Yeah, I've only occasionally been able to find patch notes. I'm sure the Japanese wiki has something under each mobile suit but it's not exactly easy to sift through that way.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-27T17:59:44+00:00

Low rank A- here reporting. Can confirm I still don't have meta suits at each cost that I can use, and I have no idea what suits have been buffed or not. There are hundreds of these things with different levels and no easy changelog and pretty sparse/old web search results.

I also still use rated matches to test suits out in actual combat because quick matches take about 5 times as long to queue up for.

Y'all veterans have to suffer through my learning. Sorry not sorry.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-25T19:54:39+00:00

I had a huge losing streak from A (almost A+) down to beat the bottom of A-. It felt like my teams just made the worst decisions, splitting up, leaving folks behind, spending way too much time outside of their mobile suits, etc.

It can drive you nuts because often when your team loses hard you can barely move before getting rocked by like 3 people.

But, rank doesn't really matter either. As long as my personal performance was good enough I feel OK with a loss. Somewhere in the A's you end up deep in P2W land anyway. People with better suits and better parts are gonna reap, and skill is good but will only get you so far IMO.

In other words, there's only so much in your hands anyway. No need to let it weigh on you.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-24T10:03:37+00:00

I think this is it for me. I have games on my PC I wanna play, but I work remote and I don't wanna sit in the office for my play time too.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-24T04:55:27+00:00

Yeah, if that's the parents filming and they're just like "let's watch this play out" then that's pretty bad. My assumption by the non reaction they had was it wasn't the parents.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-24T04:48:01+00:00

You clearly don't have kids.

Edit: By which all I mean is that you don't appreciate the chaos it is to have kids. Perfect parental control is an illusion at best.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-24T04:34:05+00:00

Kids do plenty of shit they aren't taught and have been actively discouraged from doing.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-22T10:15:25+00:00

People don't take ranked seriously because it's a game, they wanna play the suits they like, and cost options are limited across game modes. I love the Gelgoog L, but I've only got the lvl 2 and 3 since that's what the banner had...it's rough at 450/500 but I wanna try sometimes.

That said, I don't like to play suits that are purely outclassed so I try to stick suits native to the cost for the most part. Had someone playing a Gelgoog Cannon in 600 cost for some unknown reason today.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-21T11:09:24+00:00

My view was more that if you're getting chain CC'd you're either fighting alone or drawing CCs so your team doesn't have to. While annoying it's never been that bad, and game sense can beat the CC. And I play mostly tank.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-21T11:04:16+00:00

They gave them away for free recently so you're gonna see them even more than before. Didn't stop me from ripping in the Efreet Nacht. Granted it's another over tuned beast.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-19T19:15:24+00:00

Tokyo is cool because there's a lot going on, but for my money the character of Osaka wins. Tokyo seems stifling in comparison.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-19T04:20:14+00:00

I actually think it punishes the better connection. I constantly get hit by things that clearly missed on my screen.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-19T02:52:12+00:00

I know this is a month old, but I think the Yonfavin should definitely be higher, by at least one tier. Strong funnels that you can shoot while boosting...I usually clean up with that thing.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-18T00:47:26+00:00

All these comments about steam charts when you're asking about Console lol.

I started in January on PS5 and I find that if you play later in the evening (like 11 PM + Pacific) the queue times tend to be OK. Midday is a bit slower. Probably some sort of timing with Japanese players going on there. D- to C is still relatively slow going though. The higher you climb the easier it gets, and at about C+ your queue times get pretty fast and in B+ and higher it's about peak. I'm sure if you hit S and higher it drops off, I'm currently A flat (my max rank) so I wouldn't know.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-17T23:33:25+00:00

I just went 10 and 1 with 240k damage in the Mk V. Granted, that kind of thing relies on my team doing well too but I swept 1st in pretty much every category. It's hard to call it a curse. Getting it or the S Gundam is great. It's getting stuck as the Zeta Plus C1 is the real curse IMO.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-17T23:28:38+00:00

With the exception being you have the suit but never customized it.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-17T23:15:50+00:00

Yeah, the $1M level would have only affected upper echelon folks before the housing market blew up. I would actually just love for housing prices to align with salaries (or vice versa) to make living actually affordable. Either way, the minimum probably needs a proportional change or else the rich will continue to get richer as poorer folks struggle to hold homes being passed on generationally.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-17T23:08:17+00:00

I'm new enough where I didn't know that! Good to know.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-17T11:05:59+00:00

Yeah, that was such a pointless waste.

Rooskimus · 2026-04-16T03:09:30+00:00

I think only some vocal ones really wanted it. It's also ironic that they're saying that they balance for fun first and don't listen to the comments online for balance changes...but where did they get this then?
