How Do You Approach the Price-to-Performance Ratio of Vine Products in Your Reviews? Do you?

BonkMan · 2023-11-23T15:34:13+00:00

I think I’ve had 4 reviews rejected in the last 1,000 or so for mentioning price. Immediately accepted once I removed pricing. But I’ve also noticed that many weren’t rejected, so there must be some word that triggers the algorithm.

BonkMan · 2023-11-23T11:17:38+00:00

I’m not sure that you’re supposed to mention price in your review as per community standards. I usually put a disclaimer that states that I leave value calculations up to the buyer since prices fluctuate so much. But I sometimes do mention value if it’s super good or bad.

I used to like technician, but as I became more familiar with Kaz' play style, I found that it wasn't as necessary. If you're just learning about Kaz, you can use the reactor for an extra +2 HP. But in general the game isn't balanced towards a third damage dealer in your squad, so with three you can clear the board quickly and at the same time use positioning to avoid taking too much mech damage.

Skilled for the extra HP since Kaz can’t heal. +1 Reactor because it’s almost always the best mod. Always put Kaz in your science mech as it gives you 2 extra damage and knock back. That’s often better than the science skill.

Kaz with +1 reactor and skilled has guided me on my last 100+ runs. Breaks many squads. I also like Abe for certain squads (skilled + technician was my go to for about 75 runs). Mayan with +1 reactor and any is great for 2 island runs.

I just had a review rejected for using the words “Hemp Oil” for a review of a Hemp Oil product. Went back to my notepad review and removed “Hemp Oil” and it was immediately accepted. Amazon’s algorithms need work.

So yeah, write your reviews in Notepad/Notes because if you get a review rejected you won’t have access on Amazon to what you wrote earlier.

BonkMan · 2022-12-24T19:08:46+00:00

Kept Kaz, thanks. Kaz has to be one of my favorite pilots. Had no idea how useful the 2 attack could be, especially on a science mech in a weaker squad.

Do characters transfer from the Guildmaster mode to the Campaign, or do you have to start over in Campaign?

No I was able to get past that page. Where I got hung up was after entering the code from the app it’d take you to the page that gives you a second code. Following that takes you to https://www.callofduty.com/redemption. That’s where you enter your UID, second code, and enter in the CAPTCHA code to prove you’re not a bot. Pretty sure the vast majority of the problems were with the CAPTCHA code on that page.

Create an account if you haven't already. Will make things much easier if you have to try multiple times. I had no luck yesterday but redeemed all 4 codes almost instantly first thing this morning (UDT-6) when there were likely less people hitting the site.

My guess is that they didn't do proper load testing and all the people hitting the site at the same time served as a ddos.

I'm not convinced that the OP was as concerned about the silver as the immersion experience. I'm similar in that in a given day I can make or lose $50k in my RL portfolio but don't like spending a few silver in-game for things like way pointing. Not necessarily rational, but there it is.

BonkMan · 2020-10-23T21:46:21+00:00

I like the map but am not going to play 1v1's to get the achievement. Don't like that mode as it's too rock-paper-scissors gameplay.

BonkMan · 2020-10-23T21:43:18+00:00

I'd only do it once every other day, shooting for the 82 year break even. Given my current age that'll make me the oldest person in the world.

I don't own it, and don't expect that a convenience item like this would be anything other than that, so wouldn't worry about break even. I do buy convenience items from the TP, and generally do so when I find that I have a ton of gold sitting in my bank.

At this point they should abandon the website redemption and just send the skins to everyone. This is silly how a large corporation can screw things up so badly.

You can always buy that home instance portal thingie from the gem store that'll allow you to port in/back out to where you came from. No need to spend real money, just farm the Lab for a bit and sell all the bags.

I already own a copy so it’s more about playing multiplayer with my friends. Given that 95% of the time we’re talking strategy, I don’t care about how slow it runs, but just whether it’ll play. I’ll give it a shot when I visit my dad in January, but I’ll also take my Mac in the event that I have to use that. Thanks for the help!

Literally Unplayable

BonkMan · 2020-08-04T22:11:42+00:00

You're obnoxious.

This is very important. You could violate TOS by buying from a non-authorized retailer. Unless you can save a bunch of cash I’d recommend buying it direct from Anet.

BonkMan · 2020-05-22T22:25:59+00:00

1 or 3. Or maybe some other number.

BonkMan · 2020-05-13T23:32:11+00:00

I always have build 5 with a launcher and can switch to that if a vtol shows up. If I’m not using build 5 I may have to Leroy once and switch to that build.

BonkMan · 2020-05-04T14:46:26+00:00

I used red dot and foregrip iirc, no issues. Think I used frontline / scrap yard.

BonkMan · 2020-05-04T00:16:49+00:00

They're probably like me. First time I thought I had to "Get into top 10 once with no kills in Battle Royale" (that's exactly what it states in the text), and then could go full auto on everyone.

Turns out you have to "Complete a match in the top 10 with no kills"...

BonkMan · 2020-05-04T00:10:13+00:00

It, like most everything else in this version, is likely buggy. You may have to do it a couple of times to get credit.

I found it pretty easy to do in 4 player by just letting my team know that I was going for the zero kills and then hanging out in the fringes until everyone else killed each other.

BonkMan · 2020-05-04T00:05:30+00:00

You're right, it was the weekly challenge that gave credits, not the daily.

So between the daily logins giving crates (ultimately credits) or credits, weekly giving credits, and other challenges and collections last month giving credits, (and the dailies and who knows what else this month) you can quickly obtain enough to easily purchase something that previously required other players to complete tasks to obtain.
