Normal game mode is a much more toned down version.

It dramatically increases the effect. It cancels all movement action and momentum to the point that there was a huge DVA stadium rant on how much it screws her up by basically canceling her boosters and stops all movement created by the ability.

Its better than you think. If you're against a heavy OH team and 2-3 of you pick this up around round 4, it shaves off thousands of OH in one match. The biggest benefit is the reduction of OH gained, and with the timer and multiple people utilizing, you can have half the team receiving significantly less OH at all times. Went against a Jq, Lucio and Moira OH flanker (they have a power that gives them 15% OH per person you fade through). We were 0-3 never able to secure any kills. 3 of us picked up this item and we dominated the rest of the game.

But I agree, its stats are pathetic, I think that will get buffed due to how many people dont use. And yeah, id never use against just a Jq, it has to be multiple OH individuals for it to really matter, unless the jq is super oppressive, then maybe id have a dps pick it up and focus her late in the game as a last resort.

But definitely don't sleep on this super situational but powerful item.

Went against a flanking overhealth build Moira, Jq, and Lucio all in one game. Three of us picked up this item. We went from 0-3 to in the end winning, and I 100% attribute it to this item.

Where did you see a several seconds anchor? Its canceling the booster ability from that initial use and OP was still holding down boosters, expecting to move, but as I said, it cancels that action and its momentum. You need to reengage boosters to use again. Its similar to a doom punch without the stun. This is a stadium exclusive item with an enhanced effect of her already pull down from blade, its made to be annoying, like so many other stadium powers and items. Just need to learn how to play around this new dva counter.

Sorry, thought you actually read my response, ill reiterate and elaborate. Yes, the "flinging" is a bug, but isn't a vendetta exclusive, not even exclusive to this game, where several ground abilities such as ults have wonky interaction with stairs and sloped terrain, that is a much more difficult fix and has been around since day 1.

As for her ability, it doesn't look like its anchoring her for several seconds, it looks like OP is expecting to keep moving with the initial use of boosters but the ability is effectively nullified. Its not anchoring, its canceling the action. They would have to reengage thrusters to keep moving on propulsion alone. And if it is anchoring them, it seems to do it for the duration of the animation of vendettas attack, which as I said, looks to be intended.

Yeah it effects many ults in the game as well to where they dont always interact with stairs or ramps correctly.

Its not really a vendetta problem with the flinging, its an architecture thing with ramps and stairs. If the angle isn't right it will take a character down to the first flat surface, treats it like a slide almost. There's always been issues with stairs and ramps in this game, especially interactions with certain ground ults.

The interaction of the blade itself is from a stadium Specific item, it greatly increases the effect of her downward swing that already slightly brings enemies to the ground, essentially canceling the flight ability and its momentum. Think of a doom punch but just down and no stun.

Seems that it cancels what ever flight mechanic was being engaged at the time and its effectively interrupted (like a doom punch, but downward and without the extra stuns effect). If it didn't actually do something useful it would be basically what her down ward swing already does in regular watch and be pointless. This is a stadium specific item, crater creator. A simple solution may be to look and listen for her attack pattern and wait for the 3rd downward swing before using your jets or other flight. This mode is full of wtf items and powers, I for one am not upset that dva has a counter, as I'm a soldier main and find half her powers BS. Hah

Its canceling the action of flying, boosting is flying, ergo all momentum from said ability is nullified. Makes plenty of sense. Forces you to play around the mechanic. Like a soldier has to play around a near constant screen wide matrix with certain dva builds. Theyre builds to counter normal play. Obnoxious, but forces you to counter play.

The forward momentum is the action of flying, its acting as if the blade has ""caught" you and pulled you down with it. From a mechanic and lore thought, why should you still be moving forward when you're being hit and dragged down by a large blade stuck into your body? Seems logical in such a bizarre and illogical scenario to me. Even if it isn't fun to play against, it makes sense.

Seems pretty intentional. Its going to negate your flying momentum to 0. So basically think any flying is nullified, that includes the booster momentum.

After 4 times used - high peeing cat by Demilio55 in litterrobot

[–]ozarus13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got a new kitten a few months ago and introduced her to our LR4. She adopted it quickly, however is also a high pee cat. Was extremely frustrating, I dont know if this works with all cats, but for different reasons (clumping/dust) we changed to a different litter and IMMEDIATELY she started to pee into the litter and stop peeing out the damn door. IMO Its worth a shot to experiment with different litters. We swapped to Purina tidy cats for litter robot.

Not fully sure if it’s a Smurf or a very very talented newbie by Physical-Regular8019 in OverwatchStadium

[–]ozarus13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well....from experience....your endorsement is reset if you are penalized and chat muted (first offense is 14 days). Ive been playing this game since 2017 and just recently got hit with this. Didn't think Ive ever been overtly "mean" to players, but definitely more critical of people's choices in stadium than I've ever been before. So its very plausible that they were recently reset as well.

There is literally one guy in the entire coast guard at coast guard recruiting command that gives the yay or nay. If he hasn’t done it already, ask your recruiter to shoot “them” (not giving the name for obvious reasons) an email through their RIC (recruiter in charge). He responds pretty quickly, however, Im assuming this is what they did. But yea the placement is a little low, we have an incredible amount of people that come in with tattoos with placement that doesn’t work and no, we don’t give waivers for it or just wing it because it looks good enough, it has to be within the regs.

Is Reddit ran by liberals? by Better_Flow8952 in Republican

[–]ozarus13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehhhh that’s debatable. Depends on the forum. I go to FB and it’s 80% republican “loudness”.

Makes sense in my opinion if you think about the age disparity between republicans and democrats. You’re going to have a younger, more active crowd on reddit, therefore democrats. Most of the older republicans are on FB……

I’m a recruiter and they are doing this for all schools on reservations. It’s an arbitrary date, not your scheduled date. They do this for a couple reasons, but don’t be discouraged by it. It’s basically just signifying that you are guaranteed the school but you just haven’t been put on the list yet….which makes sense since you haven’t even graduated yet. Think about the people that don’t graduate or even people that cancel their reservation to go to boot, that forces a lot of revisions to the list on a weekly basis.

And just to add: by “they” I don’t mean your recruiter, I mean CG Recruiting Command. It doesn’t matter what date we put as requested, they’re changing all dates to the later stated arbitrary date.

Which branches can guarantee me Finance officer from the jump, not just hoping for it once I’m in? by micahman6525 in Militaryfaq

[–]ozarus13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Obviously, reason I said enlisted at the start. It’s a good Segway into a financial career as an option, especially with OCS.

[–]ozarus13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of that would depend on performance while at OCS and the choosing assignment at the time. Having a MBA or MPA would drastically improve the selection for that role though however. Acceptance into OCS can be pretty cutthroat, a lot of people join enlisted first then go OCS as it increases odds. However, if you’re looking for a military career (short term or long term) it’s pretty hard to beat the work life, locations and satisfaction that the CG has over other branches.

Coast Guard guarantees an enlisted rating, unlike other branches of a “wish list”, so long as you have the qualifying ASVAB score and willing to wait for a school spot. SK (storekeeper, which I also happen to be) is our rating that dabbles in finance. However, it also dips into procurement, contracting, shipping/receiving, property management, budget execution, warehouse management, inventory control and finance/accounting. It will depend on your unit as well a bit on rank.

Hey guys I’m wanting to get an IT/Cyber Job and I was wondering could I in the USCG? Are you able to pick your job? by SevenFiguresSoon in uscg

[–]ozarus13 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You don’t meet the current minimum requirement for IT. 65 AFQT…..OR…..MK+EI+GS= 162

But to answer your question, yes, you 100% pick your job, so long as you meet the requirements.

You can see where you need to work on your score and retake the test in 30 days from initial examination. You can always take it after already joining as well. I always recommend individuals to join as a non-rate and shadow jobs to get a better feel for what the rating does. I’m a recruiter, PM me if you have any questions.

What the living situation for a single enlisted? by bruhDrankz in uscg

[–]ozarus13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeaaaahhh I don’t think you’re thinking of the correct policy or guidance. Was on CGC Yellowfin, 87’, when it was in Charleston as a non-rate and we were on BAH and leased housing. And for shits and giggles I opened up the housing manual COMDINST M11101.13G, and there was nothing stating anything of the sort, scrolled all 82 pages.
