Evildread, we rocked a Rose heavy group today. But, I found a couple of other good players to start playing with. It's not impossible, but it can seem that way when you're playing alone.

Yeah I agree man. I play on the PS4.  None of my friends play it.  Only chance that I have with taking down some roses is by playing Allstar.  Playing as Scientist and its lights out.  I heal and everything but seems like you can get 1 or 2 shotted by most classes.  Thankfully if I heal a player and I get killed, the player that I was healing can sometimes rez me.

Actually cases this severe should be hotfixed ASAP it's been more than 1 week with a game breaking character running rampant and believe it or not this DOES drive away a lot of players.

We preordered this game in group for PS4. Now several of my friends already sold it again on ebay. As long as it stays unplayable with rose, its waste of money. in a few weeks it will be a low budget title.

Thats poor. GW1 was my favorite Game the last year. But this is really frustrating here.

There's still plenty of things to do outside of MP b/c of rose.

I suppose if you have several hours a day to play it might be different, but Garden/Graveyard Ops has been fun lately along with finding snow globes and gnomes w/out using walkthroughs online.

Playing against Rose no matter how hopeless it is WILL make you a better player.  I have been on countless sessions on Great White on zombie side usually with players making a grave effort to get the first garden.  These players use the most uncanny and unique tactics to take down Rose.  I know for certain my skill level has gone up immensely and I'm not talking about in-game level fighting a swarm of Roses.

Rose isn't as strong as she was before because the community has actually learned how to fight her even under these conditions now.  She obviously needs some adjustments which I trust POPCAP to make, but also not rush and make her too weak.

in my opinion it would be enought to take away the homing projectiles. No need for that. Second, the fire rate must be set down a bit. The damage itself can stay as it is.

In fact it is fun taking her out and i managed it very often. But with two or three roses against you, its no fun anymore.

I find Rose ruthlessly aggravating as well. the way I am dealing with this is playing in solo mode. you can pick any game type, any map and the level of the bots. I just choose the mode I want to play and turn on hard bots and play on. you still get comparable coins and xp. I am soooo happy they have this solo mode for multiplayer maps, if not this game would be unplayable for me. Really, it doesn't feel too different and you don't have to deal with trolls and campers. Also, I can play Rose to level without feeling guilty because it is just bots and I am not ruining anyone elses game.

also, I have done a lot of exploring for gnomes and snow globes. this may be a good time to do the story mode as well.

"Coming up with uncanny strategies"

Exactly, notice how little effort rose has to put on anahilating everything and notice the teamwork, coordination and imagination a big group of people needs to handle them, no matter if this makes you a good player this should never be the case.

I leveled my rose to master in garden ops. Does that make me an a-hole?
