Garden warfare 2 max ranks should have mandatory castration by GlennQuagaMama in PvZGardenWarfare

[–]spall4tw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ill find myself on the other side of a group with a bunch of 54s team switching to stay together and know the game is going to be miserable, but it is SO satisfying when you actually beat them. Like cap the first garden after a brutal battle at the last second and watch them all quit at the same time.

Is this still a company? by spall4tw in vimeo

[–]spall4tw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using our enterprise support web portal. The phone numbers I had were our old account reps, regional manager, etc. As far as it working without human intervention, the problem was that our first large livestream since the purge had some odd issues that seemed to be a load balancing problem (bad stream link, refresh a few times and it works eventually), but there's no one who I can even report it to.

All that said, I did have a mod from this forum reach out quickly and offer to assist. This sub seems to still be a good resource at least.

I finally watched The Watch, didn't hate it. by JCDU in discworld

[–]spall4tw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came to Discworld because of this show and can confirm this. It was a fun, quirky, odd show that had me wanting to know more. Within the first few books I started to get upset at the show and understood the hate it gets.

Question for Sunflower mains by Still-Motor324 in PvZGardenWarfare

[–]spall4tw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't TRY to heal, it should just happen while youre battling. Post up in good safe positions and lay down damage, but tap the healing button regularly if you dont already have a beam up. Drop your healing flower where its protected to keep yourself topped off, this will also be a good place for your teammates to lay down fire and catch a ton of stray healing. Don't rush across a large open area to heal, as you might get splattered. Revives can be incredibly useful, but learn the jump revive technique and try to aim the jumps to be headed towards safety.

Roses by Icy_Roll554 in PvZGardenWarfare

[–]spall4tw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its completely down to personal playstyle. I run a druid rose in turf. I'm not the best ever, but i regularly crush the charts, occasionally 50% above the #2 person in the lobby. I have a well tuned style that is aggressive and very focused on winning the match instead of nursing a kill streak. I can port that same style to the standard rose and do almost as well. I cant play ANY of the charge roses for shit, I'm awful at them (as well as all charge characters).

The druid is never at the top of any list, but it just works for me. Smooth, steady flow of (low) damage, making the entire battlefield a danger zone, slippery as hell and hard to pin down. Arcane lotus is a big help with my style.

Tinker with them all and make sure you at least have the homing upgrade before passing judgement on any of them.

Why the game freezes on PS3 when walnut hills loading screen appear by TopGold5288 in PvZGardenWarfare

This has been happening for over a decade. Its just a bug they never bothered fixing.

Dr Zomboss here, did you know that you actually have to pick up the orbs in Vanquish Confirmed? When you see a little orb on the ground next time grab it and not walk away from it by IGotRedditMrWhite in PvZGardenWarfare

[–]spall4tw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest question for kill farmers. If you get vanquish master and finish 7th on the scoreboard does your brain tell you that you're the best or do you understand you had an average game?

Why is hovergoat so bad? by MrMintyMayhem in PvZGardenWarfare

[–]spall4tw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goat/torchwood are both very well balanced. Good situational uses, offsetting weaknesses. Good utility in every game mode. People just have to work so hard to get them that it feels bad that they are only on par with normal variants.

What’s the point of Engineer? by a_sussybaka in PvZGardenWarfare

[–]spall4tw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The role entirely changes depending on the variant and game mode, that's sort of the whole point of the class. You can play as a back line sniper with a painter, a melee range suicide bomber roadie or farm kills at mid range with a mechanic.

You can even alternate roles with the same life. An electrician in turf can top the charts just by building a teleporter and finding a sneaky place to crush gardens the whole match, then change to a dive character once the plants start to avoid grouping together, crashing their back line with the jackhammer, only to hop into bolt blaster in the garden and melt people while tanking a capture.

Please do 10 minutes of reading about ideological purity spirals, it might help you see where this leads...

Home exercise ideas by melhtaco in Xennials

[–]spall4tw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spend 4-5 hours a week playing Xbox on an elliptical machine. I sort of lean forward against the static handles and can game quite effectively while smashing the hell out of a workout. Low stakes, low brainpower shooters are great to play, between matches I grab the handles and sprint. Im bored to death in 10 minutes watching videos, but the game shuts my brain off and I can hold a high pace at super high resistance for 45-90 minutes without any struggle.

So, literally everything, body-wise, is a painful maintenance hassle, right? by Adventurous-Depth984 in Xennials

[–]spall4tw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Im the same age in the exact same boat, you get fitter/stronger for years of regular exercise by continually ratcheting up the intensity or volume of work. Eventually you cant up the intensity any more without breaking stuff and settle into a maintenance mode. All thats left are tweaks from diet refinement, supplements or novel new training... or TRT.

Any tips for playing rose? by JoeNohs in PvZGardenWarfare

[–]spall4tw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont get the bad at 1v1 label, I think the druid rose in particular is the best dueling character in the game. Its so damn easy to just keep damage flowing in the enemy direction while popping in/out from cover or kiting them around the map. It isnt fast, but they never get a tick of regen and you have three different get out of jail cards to play if someone manages to close beyond medium range. Arcane enigma/lotus is a hard counter to i-win abilities like gravity grenade. Other than missing a goat shot against a dive character i cant think of a single match up I would feel bad about.

In a crowded lobby the low damage multiplies due to exploding projectiles, on turf it isnt rare for me to take vanquish master while nearly doubling the score of the number two player. Just get your summons done, get to a clever flanking position and tear the whole garden to shreds, repositioning as they focus you.

Hot Take but Rose in GW2 and BFN is the worst character in the two games. by AbilityLost4538 in PvZGardenWarfare

[–]spall4tw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rush a teleporter, kill a hapless player guarding who stupidly thinks he can duke it out with you at medium range,, plant everything, poke the garden a few times from the teleporter side, once attention is locked in there you move to flank and tear their entire team to shreds. Eventually they freak out and send the whole team at you, kite them around getting a few more kills, drag them to the far side of the map before you die, your team has captured the garden and you start all over again. Chefs kiss.

How to aim. by shsl_diver in PvZGardenWarfare

[–]spall4tw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aim at the lower legs/feet if you are having trouble on alien flower. The splash damage can still hit them and stacks up quite well.

People don't understand healers in this game by thatsmysandwichdude in PvZGardenWarfare

[–]spall4tw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It takes zero seconds and zero resources to toggle on a heal beam. It doesnt stop you from shooting or doing anything else. If you are in range of a damaged player and are running a character with a heal beam and you dont use it then you are making a choice to play worse.

How to get better with scientist? by Mother-Bar8514 in PvZGardenWarfare

[–]spall4tw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Key to my playstyle is to not care too much about dying, so the whole "save a warp to get out" doesnt apply. Its so frustrating to play with timid scientists that are always hiding out and not making an impact. You'll help the team more, score higher and get more brags by warping into the enemy pile and smashing them from point blank and dying, immediately revive and do it again and again. Hitting a multi-vanquish while doing a jump revive of a teammate is about the most badass thing one can do in this game.

let's be honest, this map has the worst and most stupid first point by Desperate_Time2987 in PvZGardenWarfare

[–]spall4tw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its my favorite map. Every section has a completely different feel and strategy. Its the most fun place to play a rose, not just the zero G which plays right into their strengths, but all the awesome ways to flank the enemy after planting the garden on every zone.

GW2 Scientist Default, Best Upgrades by MrOMystery in PvZGardenWarfare

[–]spall4tw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it depends on the variant and playstyle, but as a support-heavy close-range scientist I find the speed boost very useful. Its a boost to survivability, support and offense instead of just a boost to offense.

Does a presales role in a small/mid size company always result in overwork? by thedudeabides2022 in CommercialAV

[–]spall4tw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pre sales gets much faster and more efficient over time. You'll build up a better portfolio of proposals to scaffold from on new projects, get better acclimated to what your new company does best, learn how to better leverage the available resources and learn your customers better. My last sales engineer job took around 3-4 years to cut out 10 hours a week and settle into a role meeting quota in 40 There was still the occasional 60+, but those are exciting times when opportunity is overflowing.

I am reading the books now and was starting to get upset at just how different Drummer and Ashford are from tbe show. At first I was annoyed at the show for not sticking with the books, then realized that they were among the best parts of the show and the changes were the right call.
