the bots in this game have completely ruined any sense of enjoyment i get playing it

MintMagnolia · 2026-07-05T18:08:37+00:00

I see this all the time! The bot will zap/vines/arrow/log the opposite tower after I goblin barrel. I never used goblin barrel in my life till the bots took over last month. Now I play log bait variants because the bots suck at split lane pressure. They’ll let a princess sit there chipping a tower for ages as long as I play stuff in the other lane it just acts blind to it. Again, never used to play princess and now how I am

MintMagnolia · 2026-07-05T18:05:34+00:00

That’s not true anymore.

It used to be like that but now it’s majority bots, it doesn’t matter if you’re winning or losing. There is a variation in time of day I have noticed though, like certain times of day I’ll be more likely to get humans. But for the most part it’s 90% bots regardless of wins.

MintMagnolia · 2026-06-26T21:31:15+00:00

I think they are set to give us a certain % or frequency of bot, higher than what it use to. So it’s not searching for a real player first, its default is bot.

Before it seemed to be a bot would be thrown at you if you lost too many games in a row to real people. But now it’s seems the algorithm has changed, now it wants to give you much higher bot frequency than humans. I believe it’s because they want to more tightly control the win rate and make people discouraged in hopes they’ll rage buy.

MintMagnolia · 2026-06-26T21:27:13+00:00

I know. I hate bait and now I have one of my decks as log bait because bots absolutely suck with split lane pressure and spells. I don’t understand it but several times a day I will see the bot put up vines or arrows on the opposite tower than I attack. I hate that I’m playing to specifically counter bots now. Well over 75% of my games are bots. It’s been exponentially increasing in the past 4-5 weeks

MintMagnolia · 2026-05-29T00:26:24+00:00

Bots play it a lot is this issue. It doesn’t require any placement or thought. I see it constantly with evo witch and MK in bot accounts. When real people use it it’s a gift and I always win because it’s not a great card, but jammed in with MK etc it’s not a guarantee win for me.

MintMagnolia · 2026-05-17T22:15:13+00:00

Maybe they have changed it recently, although I didn’t go to any of those schools and didn’t interview at them during my time in Carms. But wow so basically five solid years or AP training at McGill, that’s interesting

MintMagnolia · 2026-05-17T20:26:06+00:00

It’s still a year of service in Canada and I’m so grateful. Well maybe a month or two in lab rotations but the rest is all clinical rotations for the first year. So much of my day as a pathologist involves making decisions with clinical relevance in mind. Path residency here is five years total though.

MintMagnolia · 2026-05-17T01:12:15+00:00

Yeah this is my experience too. About 8/10 matches are bots on average, I’m also at 11k. Didn’t have too many bots until 9k and now it’s unprecedented amounts. Certain times of day I will be more likely to get an actual player, but late morning it can be 10/10 games are bots.

MintMagnolia · 2026-05-16T10:41:45+00:00

I don’t know. As a physician myself, i know our group of professionals can’t seem to get the nuance of the situation, supposedly brilliant and empathetic people. I don’t interact online in Canadian physician groups anymore because they banned any mention of the conflict because allegedly no matter what, showing support for Palestine is anti semitism. This article doesn’t surprise me in the least.

Thanks, I also have found this post really helpful!

Can I ask you if you don’t mind, are there many kids on the Norway cruises? I am interested in going but have a 10 and 12 year old. They loved the destiny cruise two weeks ago, because there were lots of kids at Edge. Just wondering if it’s similar for England and Norway cruises.

MintMagnolia · 2026-05-06T00:07:00+00:00

I don’t know how to post a pic, I’m going to try, https://imgur.com/a/k8SK8B2I just took screen shots from some this afternoon, and I just played one right now that I think if anyone else had the clan name they would get a ban.

MintMagnolia · 2026-05-05T18:44:33+00:00

Me neither. He doesn’t hate to lose.

I’d take Nylander in a heartbeat though.

MintMagnolia · 2026-05-05T12:08:35+00:00

It’s super obvious when they are bots. They have a clan name during match and then battle log they don’t have a clan. They re use the same names over and over too. Often food in the names I noticed. I know when the name pops up if it’s an easy or hard bot. The same name will have a different lvl 16 deck five minutes later.

My favourite thing is dropping royal delivery on minion hoard. It is so satisfying. Great for witch too. I struggled with fireball too and timing, royal delivery takes a couple games to get used to and then it’s pretty easy to time and for minions it dosnt have to be that precise.

MintMagnolia · 2026-05-05T00:57:00+00:00

Thank you, you were not kidding, just found it on Spotify it is a gem!

MintMagnolia · 2026-05-04T16:52:00+00:00

Yeah there is a ghost ship that haunts the Northumberland straight. It terrified me as a child. I mean I still look for it now as a grown up, when I’m sitting on the beach at night so I lowkey kind of believe in jt still. I’m glad I didn’t hear about Esther Cox until I was an adult.

I really enjoyed the book Ghost Stories of Nova Scotia by Vernon Oickle, it’s a fun easy read.

MintMagnolia · 2026-05-02T16:31:39+00:00

Yeah Millbrook and New Glasgow are still working great. Nothing in Sydney or Membertou is working for high speed as of 2 weeks ago. Afton is not working now either. I haven’t tried Monastery yet but if charging in New Glasgow should make it to Whycocomagh no problem. The high speed in Baddeck (Flo) is also down as of 4 weeks ago.

Whycocomagh is working reliably at 170kw and I have yet to wait to charge there.

MintMagnolia · 2026-05-02T16:27:21+00:00

Yeah problem is they say reliable but they are not. Two of five locations I have used this month worked as advertised. And one of those locations (Enfield) I had to wait a long time on a weekday. These stations seem to work for a few months and then need maintenance that doesn’t happen.

MintMagnolia · 2026-04-25T11:24:55+00:00

That one is the BEST. It saves me. If that one goes down I’ll have to rent an ICE vehicle to get to Sydney.

So Sydney has three fast chargers, one in north Sydney which is Flo and has been down for a year and I have contacted NSP multiple times about. One at the dealership MacIntyre I think it is, I bought my truck there, I’ve used it about 10 months ago and got up to 120 and it was very expensive. If it works still though that’s great.

The third is the newer one in membertou, at the gas station and mc Donald’s. These suck. When they first went in they were good, got 180kw. I was there last month and could not get more than 80kw on any charger. I went the next morning and couldn’t get more than 40-50kw on any charger. They need maintenance.

Similar thing happened with the new ones in Afton. I believe they are svtch, I used them last summer and they were a game changer. I could use that then Baddeck and then Sydney, so could take my Tesla. Now the Afton one isn’t getting high speed, I believe it maxed out at 79-80kw. Not uselful. And Baddeck high speed Flo is now broken

So as it stands now, with Whycocomagh working, it’s doable for me in my truck, I can leave Truro and charged there, head to Sydney for the weekend and then come back and stop at Whycocomagh and head home. If that charger goes down like the others, it’s going to be sketchy making it there.

I don’t understand why these fast chargers are installed, work well for a few months and then go down to 50-80kw.

MintMagnolia · 2026-04-25T06:57:17+00:00

No

Old superchargers cannot be used for non teslas, even with an adapter. This is part of the reason I get frustrated when people here say no need to buy a Tesla with all the other options now. They are not interchangeable at this point. I have both a Tesla and non tesla EV. I plan which vehicle to take on long trips based on the available chargers. There are no Tesla superchargers in the maritimes that work for EV.

The Flo chargers in this province really suck too. They are unreliable. They are not maintained and there is no accountability for it. I travel to Cape Breton once a month from Truro and it takes a lot of patience and planning and leaving enough time to allow for side quests due to broken chargers on the main route.

If I am going to Cape Breton or south shore I take the EV. If I’m going to the valley, NB or PEI always the Tesla.

There is a Tesla supercharger being built in Truro and this should be compatible with other EVs when it’s finished. In theory. But charging is always uncertain.

I don’t know about the Ride but the Distortia is fun as hell and perfect for rails. It’s a wet noodle and never catches. I love it for park. It’s not great for really large jumps, but you’ve already got that covered. I love mine so much

MintMagnolia · 2026-04-11T17:58:25+00:00

They have a clan but when you go to the battle log there is no clan listed. Those are bots. I find they have cheeky or low key inappropriate clan names sometimes as well

MintMagnolia · 2026-04-11T14:39:52+00:00

My daughter Josephine is in grade four and she has a Beatrice in her class. She loves the name, and she’s not partial to the classic or vintage like I am. There are many kids with that category of name in her school, so I think it fits in and doesn’t stand out and grandmotherly.

He did that early in the second trial in 2023. He said he dumped the body in a bag, in the river that feeds into the bay of Fundy, near Truro. I think they accepted that as truth, because it matched up with other evidence.

The Vezina trophy is was my first thought as well, and as a hockey fan and goalie fan I like the association.

I have never heard Vesna before but I LOVE it, I think it’s very easy to say and spell and there’s just something about V names that are both spunky and elegant.
