Mastering GW2's Worst Peashooter [Part 1]

[@captainflare]

The rat/mouse naming has concluded! (And by that, I mean I've now recorded episode 2 and declared the winner.) We had 168 suggestions!!! You're welcome to feel free and suggest more names for the fun of it, I sure won't stop you, but they won't have a chance to be featured. The linear nature of time is a cruel beast.

[@GritterTheBuckethead]

Let’s see here… less damage, less ammo, slower move speed, and a wonky projectile. All of this for 25 extra base health… great job Popcap.

[@K1ttyGam3r]

you would think because the whole character’s thing is rocks that there would be more damage with the projectiles because, well, rocks. Apparently not though. Splendid.

6:01 Theres a couple of things you can do with bean bomb. You can either: Bean throw, this is where you use hyper’s jump momentum to throw the bean bomb very high and far, exploding it right as it lands. This gives no time to react and will get you a lot of free kills if mastered. This works the best with regular bean bomb You can also see it as a tool that lets you zone out an area since no one is able to enter the radius. You can for example chuck it at a wall and stay next to it when a super brainz or scientist is running up to you, preventing them from fully approaching you. Works best with sombrero. Alternatively you can also use it as a movement tool, if you learn ‘bean jumping’ or ‘bean hopping’ which lets you fly across the map (you can make it to the end of moon base Z’s first point in a few seconds with it), I’d recommend looking up a tutorial video for it, it’s hard to put into words. Works best with dark bean bomb, since you have 2

Hi. I'm a rat owner and wanted to let you know that it's a mouse! Rats have way smaller ears and a flatter nose. While there's no in-game rat to compare it to the cartoonish exaggeration of a mouse's most prominent details (large ears, round nose, long tail) lead me to the conclusion its a mouse. I will mention that Dumbo rats a type of fancy rat do have large ears.

The health boost and speed boost are what make this character good, in my opinion, but I didn't know his projectile was janky 😅

[@MAML_]

speed...boost? you move slower

[@emaciatedFlower]

@MAML_ Speed boost ability still boosts you, and having extra health while also in hyper mode is hard to deal with

Hey captain flare, I started watching you at the very start of the armor chopper series. I just want to let you know that even though you are a smaller content creator, you are hilarious and one of the funniest gw2 creators I’ve seen in a LONG time. I really enjoy your long form content, and I think your original ideas for these series are really interesting. Just whatever you do, don’t give up on your content, because many people like me really enjoy your videos. Peace!👌

[@captainflare]

Thank you so much! I don't plan on stopping anytime soon :)

[@arigamer1923]

This series is making me want to play pvzgw2 again. I hate most shooters so Imagine how good the videos are

[@rubenssilveira5765]

[@captainflare]

Why thank you :) I think that's the benefit of growing up watching KZbin for years before trying my hand at it. I may be late to the party, I have a good idea of what I like to see in videos, so I try to make the kinds of videos that I would enjoy :)

[@helppurru2981]

What if you named the critter on your head “Roe-Dent” (Roe as in the fish egg kind and Dent as in Car Dent or something)? That way it won’t matter if it’s a rat or a mouse, since the name works for any rodent! Love this and the Metal Chomper series! I was a bit worn out from PVZGW2 for a while now, but your videos reignited a flame in me, enough to make me want to come back to the game, and try a chomper out myself! Of course it isn’t Metal Chomper levels of different, but going from being a Power Cactus main to playing Count Chompula, I feel like that’s a big jump. Really enjoying your content, keep it up!

I love this youtuber so much man, watching you play just feels so wholesome and you seem like such a genuine kind person😭😭 All the best for your channel!!

[@astralguardian5930]

Just from hearing that first part of "momentum" affecting shots I can definitely understand a bit why people would hate playing this character, even without context to this game. Not many people are gonna stick with the character enough to attempt to learn the art of leading the shots to counteract the momentum, they'd be more likely to just turn back to a character they already play or know is more consistent, rather then attempt to learn how to alleviate the downsides of a new character they earned.

[@EdgarNoLastName]

Great vid- almost as great as if the rat/mouse was named Daniel Ratcliffe... Almost

[@billping6712]

Rock pea used to have a STUN mechanic on enemy hit... with it gone and no buff to replace the nerf, he was left in a weak state.

Really? That's interesting, having a Primal Pea styled plant would be fascinating.

[@Limestoneowl]

5:49 but I do 😔 Rock pea my beloved Something I will add is try learning bean jumping super good for positioning and moving around as the slowest peashooter Also I think I like rock pea so much because I'm biased (I mean look at the name of me) plus his aesthetic his really cool lol Also also its wild how you are already at 2.6k like goodness talk about growth (that is more than nixly ) Also also also (please help me I can't stop adding stuff) Jumping and moving foward with hyper increases the velocity of which the bean is sent dont use a bean bomb on a target that your fighting if you are using your primary, beans are better for groups, stealth bombing people and sheltering yourself upclose (say your fighting a super brainz up close and you drop a bean down so he cant get close while you fire)

[@captainflare]

Those are all great tips, thanks! I'll be sure to look into learning about Bean Bomb movement and positioning, as you're right, there's lots of potential there. I recall seeing that you made a video all about him, so I'll check that out :) And yeah, the growth is absolutely bonkers. It's so cool just blasting into the community like this, I never could've expected it!

[@maxdragon5043]

May I suggest you run two separate characters for the next time you plan to do a series like this? (If you do plans to) Having both a plant and a zombie character in mind would remove the worry of not being able to switch team in the future. (Though I suppose it would half-ruin the idea of only playing one character aswell)

[@maxdragon5043]

17:17 No mouse or rat expert, but I am a pun connoisseur (or so I like to believe). What about the name Roquefort, the cheese, but pronounce it Rockford because you're playing the Rock Pea?
