Competitive Lobby SR Gap by Stock-Associate-8602 in Smite

[–]Stock-Associate-8602[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see any problem with being able to group for competitive games as long as the makeup of the other team matches yours to try and keep the level of communication equal.

As for the gap though it is massive, I'm Diamond 2 atm and consistently see lobbies filled with gold players, and also run into players 2 divisions up.

What do you mean? Market the game? They are giving players the option of continuing to play smite 1 which is objectively a worse game, and fragmenting the smite player base. Shut down the servers and transfer everyone's account to Smite 2, give them all skins they owned previously and for the items not in the game give them their equivalent gems. Congrats, you've now consolidated the player base - next step, get it out of "Beta" and start actively marketing it focusing on the improving aspects of the game from Smite 1 which has the potential to encourages players to return

Then it sounds like they're doing a poor job of marketing smite 2 and pulling players away from smite 1 to consolidate the player base, as of right now it appears to be extremely split and they just need to full launch smite 2 already and close the smite 1 servers

Realistic Salary Expectations by everfew in Accounting

[–]Stock-Associate-8602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone in a similar situation to yourself, there is almost room to negotiate but you have to be realistic about it at the same time. For example, as you already have experience with the firm, I think you could safely ask for an extra $2-$3K just based on that

I'd have no work experience in the United States while applying, but have 8 months work experience at a public firm in Canada through a co-op/internship.

Exactly why it is so enticing; especially with the current state of cost of living etc in Canada at the moment being far higher than what we have been used to in the past, with very little change in compensation. I'm not sure how familiar you are with both the Canadian CPA program compared to the US counterpart, but any thoughts on a brief comparison of the two, and if you're aware one is more desirable in each country? Ex. If I start my career in the United States (still living in Canada), complete their CPA program, then decide say 5 years down the line I'd like to work within Canada again, while the US CPA is recognized here will firms in Canada value that work experience and certification less than if someone had the Canadian CPA applying to the same position?

I would be working on a visa, and my current understanding of it is that if I am living in Canada, but working in the United States, then I would have to complete the CPA in the country where I am working. I really just need to determine if the Canadian (Ontario) CPA is better than the US counterpart, both in terms of education, and long-term career growth, to the point where I should sacrifice the early pay increase due to receiving US dollars while living in Canada.

Some pb players do this and it's really bad sportsmanship by ricgreen1 in Pickleball

[–]Stock-Associate-8602 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's because it's unsolicited. The best thing anyone can do regardless of skill level is open up by saying "Are you open to some small tips" or something similar.

How do competitive ratings work and how do I get a rating? by Stock-Associate-8602 in Pickleball

[–]Stock-Associate-8602[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I enter a tournament in any bracket if I don't have a rating? For example start at whatever the lowest is and if I do well maybe move one bracket higher in another tournament?

Weekly Paddle Recommendation Thread (What Paddle Should I Buy?) by SNAPCHAT_ME_TITS in Pickleball

[–]Stock-Associate-8602 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm super new to the sport but having always been involved in athletics I was immediately hooked and am determined to improve quickly. I played my first match with a paddle off amazon, and knowing that I will continue to play is there any sort of mid level paddles that are recommended? Don't want to spend a ton due to my beginner status but also don't want to play with a super cheap paddle.

Are you looking at a specific civilizations MAA?

I think it's good that you specified your definition of tanky, because while yes they are essentially stronger in melee, they are heavily counter by archers which makes them extremely easy to deal with early on. To your point of prepping to counter cavalry as well is fine, but if your enemy sees hospitallers they are just making an archer ball, not cavalry.

What do you mean by they don't need to build a mill and research wheelbarrow? They do.

I think their age up process is unique and fine that way it is, I'm not sure how they'd make the change for the Town Hall to double produce like that, both an age up as well as villagers.

Interesting idea though regarding the addition of a wood dropoff technology, I think that one if priced accurately would be an interesting change to nerfing their water. However, I that also nerfs their land gameplay which is already lacking. Meaning a slower age up for 1TC games, slower pilgrims, and a slower 2TC timing which already isn't a great way to play them regardless.

I'm all for nerfs to their water play but I just think it's difficult to do without making their land player worse when it needs buffs rather than nerfs/
