- @Pinch1Off Nope! I've come to the conclusion I'm only any good in Ops & GW2!! 😆
- @ToastedSarnie Aw, neither of you two should feel like you aren't any good at pvp! When I'm aiming and shooting in BFN it constantly feels like I'm fighting the game to get it to work. Extremely uncomfortable. While I could do well in nearly every game in GW, I struggle with BFN pvp too. Its just not fun and is far too clunky.... I don't even care enough to try and improve.
And to the main topic, Rose does indeed feel awful.. and she is awful! GW 2 Rose was also one of my favorites. Just go back and play a game as an upgraded gw 2 rose and see how much more fun and comfortable she is to play. Its honestly sad how much worse she ended up. I dont even like her redesign appearance wise. Anyways, even if her homing worked, she still would be massively outscaled by the zombie supports. So... she needs a lot of work. Like... most characters in BFN... - @brady3176 Thank you!!
I've been using Rose as my main in PvP, and I also specialized with her in GW2.
First thing I did when I encountered aiming problems was turn off the aim assist in the settings since it seems to be glitchy when opposing team members are bunched together; I'm sure it is intended to help but whatever criteria it uses to determine seems to be glitchy so there are times where it tries to decide what you should be aiming at instead of what you are aiming at and it interferes more than it helps.
Using the same strategies I used in GW2 seem to still work in BfN. I'll have a better feel for this iteration for her once I get all her perks unlocked.
For those who might be new to PvZ; Rose's thistles work best when you stay just at the point where the reticle turns red. Any farther away and you don't get the homing ability and if you get too close then the thistles don't have the time to arc properly- it's a gentle curve towards target rather than an aggressive seeking so Zombies moving rapidly can get outside of the thistles ability to turn towards them- especially when they are moving side to side. Stationary Zombies or ones moving towards or away from you make better targets.
I'm expecting the same sort of difficulty curve that I saw in GW2; Rose without the right perks was a bit rubbish while Rose with the right perks was my favorite character. They've changed her a bit for BfN but I'm getting the hang of her tactics-wise so I just need to unlock the rest of her perks so I can see how the Mastered version of her in BfN compares with the Mastered version from GW2.
- @realitysquared Nice summary! Yes, I've just realised I had light aim assist on (as that was working better for me with sunflower who I'd been doing challenges on) so I've taken that off. I've FINALLY just mastered Rose - so now to try & work out best upgrade combinations. I'll be staying away from Thistle Missile! Thanks to all for advice & pep talks!
