@@Thus_Spoke_Z The second the V2, F91, Crossbone Units start getting added, anything with a Minovsky Flight Drive is going into a completely new cost bracket. Because turning Ground Battles into Space Battles is like...a whole new level of absurd. What's the point of even being on the ground if you're barely gonna touch it anyways?! Like a particular *Over-used and Hyper-active Piece of Reproductive Organ Failure that keeps annoying your Grandmother on the other side of the road* once said: "Gravity??

[@thedrunkzaku]

Agreed

[@KamilleNTD]

I disagree. Even in lore a 5th generation mobile suit is just a 4th generation mobile suit equipped for Minovsky flight. There's no rationale that more than 700 cost is needed other than, "It's new to me." Even the 2nd phase MS miniaturization resulted in MS that were just on par with 18m tall MS.

The Xi was only able have ten funnel missiles stored on the skirt armor at a time, so no it really doesn’t. Now having more triple-missiles, yes. Even a fraction of the missiles that it had in Hathaway would be devastating

In lore Unicorn > Xi. In game Xi > Unicorn. Honestly the game should be considered more balancing factor. Full power Unicorns in lore would toast the game and make the Xi in lore/game look like an ant. I considered it fine XI being more powerful in game than the Unicorn cause balance.

Well they weren't showing any respect to their team by spawning in and intentionally feeding, but I see your point.

[@BlazingSin]

​@@avenger1_gbo260 Exactly. If you play rated and go out of your way to let your team down, you're not only dishonoring your own team, but disrespecting every player in there. You play Rated to face challenging enemies and help competent teammates. If you're not challenging your enemy, you're not helping them learn at all and you're wasting eight minutes of everyones time, especially if your team loses. While I envy the original commenters sympathy, I can't help but tease those who throw while tossing a swift report their way so that they don't have to ruin competitive matches with their nonsense. Those who fail with dignity have my respect, but those who lose kicking and screaming like infants can go elsewhere. Rated is not the place for that behavior. No game for that matter.

@@BlazingSin do you even understand what are you saying ? it was the banshee player not a norn try hard just a regular banshee so the dude has to commit when he do something contrary to many players that just have to press one button , also this game is riddled with "infants" like you said who will either throw or never help whatsoever. This is just what we could avoid if there was a proper system to communicate in game and a good karma/report mechanic WITH actual actions taken towards toxic players or to safekeep bad players from being in ranks where they neither have skill to be here nor the mental fortitude for it, this is GBO2 greatest default about the community

[@BlazingSin]

@@GrayFolxy While I agree with some of what you're saying, the point still stands. Doesn't matter what MS you're playing, you must show respect to your allies and opponents. Avenger could essentially "be the better man", but once you dishonor the match, he doesn't have the obligation to do that. I try to be far nicer than I used to be, but some people deserve a nice reality check from time to time. Far too many players think their poor sportsmanship won't come with a consequence.

[@hammondvascovich3479]

While I'm sure the Xi is very effective in experienced hands (I don't have it yet so I wouldn't know personally), I did have the misfortune of playing 700 cost ground match where my team were all Xi Gundams, with myself in the Re-GZ Custom, and it was not a fun match.

[@Zerostealthman]

Just not true bro. This is a skill issue. Ive played around twenty 700 cost matches since it has been out only using it for 4/20 matches- it can be a bit annoyingly defensive but it isn’t much more of a threat than any other suit. In all those matches I was never taken down by a xi gundam once, despite enemy teams having 1-3 per round; tbh they sort of became a go to for me to kill as most people pilot them as if they were intended to be giant floating targets. My og banshee was treating them like playthings earlier today.

[@doktahexe9209]

I wanna keep loving and playing this game, but it keeps powercreeping harder than Grand Summoners

[@eileenmilligan9673]

I feel like this suit would be more balanced if they nerfed its hp to 24000 or even lower like 20000, which would be more reasonable considering it’s basically a flying mix between Phenex, Sinanju, and Hi-Nu on crack. At the moment, it’s way too tanky for something that outpaces most of the raids and gens in both damage and mobility currently.
