You forgot the classic: "NWS goofy employee" basically those amazing people who decide to mess with the warning boxes and make either the most beautiful piece of art on history or anything to annoy everyone else's experience. And also with 1.21 those people who rate EF5 to a barely damaged mobile house.
You can’t rate a house barely damaged as an “EF5,” it only lets you put an accurate amount of estimated wind speeds, in simple terms, when 1.21 was fully implemented like a few months ago, you are no longer allowed to put inaccurate wind speed estimates for tornadoes and damage in Twisted.
@@ognamesweretaken5836 I am pretty sure they fixed that in 1.21, because now if you for example try to put estimated winds of like 150 mph on a house up to broken glass or something like that, it will say “inaccurate wind estimate.”
I’ve gone from a probe dropper in 2021, to an interceptor in 2022 2023, and then to a proud risk taking dowinator in 2023 2024. There’s nothin like becoming a $750,000 probe 😎
Hey, I just started the game, it just feels so boring being a probe dropper, any tips? It’s like I drive here, don’t see a tornado, drive in front of the storm, don’t see a tornado, it just all feels slow, I have only spent like an hour in game tho so maybe I just need to play more, I was considering just dropping 1k robux just to buy an interceptor but that’s a lot of money on a game I’m not committed too
@@technopancake85 definitely, depending on the thermo’s is how good the storms are going to be, also make sure to by a mesonet at tomcat repairs under nody or smthin. But it takes a while
@@technopancake85 Well I was the same way start out don't worry. I suggest watching a Twisted beginners guide. Those videos will teach you how to position yourself in front of storms and get probe hit. And If you are going to spend money on the game, i'd get the 2x money game pass, it definitely speeds things up. The game isn't for everyone either but If you love weather I say stick with it. There is a lot to learn but if you learn how the storms move, how to read the thermals and stay committed, you'll have a ton of money in no time.
@@JoePez bro I got infront of a tornado right? So I’m looking around for it and I don’t see it, A DAMN HILL HID IT in the matter of seconds I was flung around, stuck under a tree and bled out in my truck, it was awsome
A rare but still existing stereotype is the Logger, the guys who obsessively clear out every fallen tree that they can find because it's easy money. Remember back before Prior Lake existed and route 35 had a a whole forest on its west side, and every tornado that passed by would completely block the road for about a half mile? I earned enough to buy my DOW by keeping that road clear. Good times, man.
Yea I’m definitely the fried pc guy but with ipad Also the player that just gets kicked from the game due to low internet And the only money is from my daily
I’m 100% the photographer. It’s really fun giving constant up to date info in the chat based on what you see, and it’s also very creepy seeing a huge EF3 just idle on top of a town.
you forgot the MOST MOST common : intercepter interbeggers, they're the ones that say "can i ride with you i'm new to twisted i dont know how to play i promise i'll tornado"
That was me. The first lobby the guy took me around and showed me what to do. Got on the next day and got in with another dude. I knew more about the game and where to position myself in one day than this Moron with a dom. Now I’m just back to driving around in my starter truck while I save up for the dom.
personally i dont mind the beggers, cause im more than happy to have em ride with me if theyre respectful. we all started somewhere and aye, if i can get the chance to make someones day giving them a taste of what they hopefully can achieve in the future im more than happy to. plus it helps build the newbies up and can form some cool bonds. hell people letting me ride with them when i was on my probe dropping grind is how i got tiv2 finally. the ones that do my head in are the ones that insist on playing with all the interactable flaps constantly to annoy you, bonus points if they got the "YT" tag in their name, and the ones that dont ask and just think theyre entitled to jump in peoples rigs without using thier words. as stated i got zero issue with people joining me, but damn, atleast use your words, communicate and ask before taking what ya want.
Oh wow, I actually didn't know you were a youtuber who would've been recording background footage in the same server as me, and honestly I'm already kicking with the editing and narration. I would love to see you play with friends.
as someone who is a probe dropper I love the thrill of intercepting tornadoes with probes, the way you know you are not invincible and that you can get picked up at any moment. the ones that sacrifice themselves always gimme a good chuckle tho
You forgot the stupidest one: The Crazy But Chill Chasers These guys drive civilian cars or Storm Chasing cars (not interceptors) into tornadoes or intercept them. They mostly are pretty chill but usually ask to stick near an interceptor if things get too heafty. They also probe and Intercept. I'm one of them, its fun sitting in a dominator 3 and watching your probe truck get slid, then fliped, and then tossed away knowing that you couldve died if you stayed in there. But sometimes its all sh*ts and giggles 'til someone giggles and sh*ts, AKA the interceptor that you hopped in gets lofted.
@@JerryOnQuackI’m a probe dropper but sometimes I report damage when a tornado does hit a town or a housing divisions or mostly mobile homes But sometimes when I make a mistake while being too close to some really strong tornadoes I am a doofinator by accident
i flip flop between a probe dropper and a interceptor depending on the day. if im grinding i like to sometimes grab the support vehicle and do probe dropping hard mode since it doesnt have a messo. but i feel like overall i fall into an extra steriotype not listed in the video: the risktakers. the players that dont go for the easy well planned intercept or probe drop. but rather aggressive swoop in last second and try to deploy or drop probes without being dragged. or try to straight up "punch it" through a tornado to reach that good intercept spot. honestly i love the risk taker approach cause it keeps things fun. theres no adrenaline rush like punching through a nado, or skirting the edge of a nado that desperately wants to lift you.. then getting to maniacly laugh to yourself when you pull it off. and now that i have tiv2 finally its an even bigger rush cause deploying aint as quick and easy as in a dom. you gotta fight that nado hard to survive if the risk gets squirrelly
Personally, I switch between intercepting, probe dropping, and dow scanning. I guess you could put me in a category called the "data collecters" as that is my main goal for most tornadoes.
It's very quickly becoming my fav. game and my stereotype is def, map person. I played it yesterday for the first time w a friend and just stayed on the map the whole time lol
I am a NWS employee I give shoutouts like what category, location and where and when it’s likely to strike so the storm chasers can position for the best shots and stuff like that
I play on the EMS team, most of the time I just spawn my pickup truck drive around and chop fallen trees for some cash, if a tornado drops near me I get in my dom 2 and get some quick intercept cash, once it's gone I get more trees money and maybe some rescues. I'm everything lmao.
started playing the game a month ago, started off from simply watching tornadoes off in the distance, spent a little while as a probe dropper, and now starting the other day, intercepting with a tiv-1
I'm more of an interceptor, a radar watcher, a probe dropper, a DOW user, and a photographer. I modeled my chasing style after that of Tim Samaras, and I've seen my fair share of doofinators and Reed Timmers lol I also use a DOW occasionally. My main car is a White Chevy Cobalt. Tim Samaras was my idol and it shows.
for me im mainly a mix of the navigator, radar watcher and photographer but I do type in the chat kinda like the rp example cause I mainly wanna let people know on where to go
you forgot a somewhat common one, the “smart ones”. they’re the kids that want to seem like they know every little detail of the game, but in reality know 3 functions. they either instantly assume a tornado is ef5 rating immediately off of it’s size, try to intercept a tornado in a normal car (except unlike the “i am the probe” guys, they believe they actually can,) or spam TOUCHDOWN TOUCHDOWN TOUCHDOWN as soon as a tornado even starts forming. from my personal experience, they’re generally not annoying unless you’re trying to have a conversation in chat and someone keeps yelling TOUCHDOWN like a football commentator
well you want to get money to buy an interceptor, but if you're having issues with dropping a probe Infront of the tornado my advice is get in the estimated path, then once you're in that path you can leave radar and look at the sides of tornado, and if its moving left go more left, if its moving right, go more right, and if its looking like it's not moving or just getting bigger and not going left or right, you're in the path. Then just wait till the windspeeds start to pick up (like if it gets to 30-40mph on the mesonet you should put the probes) in which then you want to drive the car as fast and beg for mercy it does not have a giant Windfield and loft you into the air.
Here's the thing, I am the damage guy. Like, that's my primary fixation on tornadoes. And there's multiple kinds of people. There's the normies, the inexperienced, and the EF5!!!1 people. I usually don't mind most, sure it's annoying, but I hate it when inexperienced people try to claim that your wrong when you say the house with a few interior walls left is not an EF5(usually people trying to rate on contextuals brings out these people) Then there's... those guys. Those guys who will rate something as high as it will let them because "yeah trust me guys that had to be EF5 we didn't have any wind measurements at peak it had to be EF5 guys trust me" I remember some guy in particular who rated the entirety of Almora EF5 220 because of "trust me bro" and "if it's not realistic the game wouldn't let you" completely ignoring you used to be able to rate EF2 damage as EF4 with the old system. These guys are the worst, they usually have gigantic heads and get pissed if you dare question your rating, and they're the hardest to have discussions with. Although they're rare and most level headed people will not listen to them.
I love probe dropping and it’s hilarious when I inevitably underestimate the strength of a tornado and get WAY too close to drop my probes. The other night I may have gotten my friend k!lled alongside myself when we went to probe what turned out to be a high-end EF4 that very nearly slabbed the east end of Hibbing. The sheer radius of it’s pull caught me completely off guard. We weren’t even NEAR the funnel when it ripped the tops off the grain silos east of town right next to us and I knew we were cooked (along with the nearby DOW) in our little GMC Yukon. But we made BANK on those probes baby! Boom, dead center! … emphasis on dead. We really need some way to profit from photography.
One day this goofy ahh car came behind me when I was deploying my Tiv in front of a F5 and he got out in the middle of the tornado and tried getting in my car but he got sent to the tornado gods
Honestly I’m a navigator cus I have a shitty pc and can’t see the clouds so I just learned to see everything going on on radar and someone asked me to navigate for the em and I’ve just stuck with them
I’m a mix of a Dowinator, Photographer and a Reed Timmer. I use the DOW (except I still don’t know how to use it in 1.21), try to take photogenic pictures sometimes, and say stuff like Reed to myself whenever something intense is happening. Sometimes, late at night, where I want to play Twisted but I don’t want to chase, I sit back at the NWS office and issue warnings. Radar watcher, I guess?
I wanna add 1 more stereotype: The Hitchhikers Like the navigator they get in people's cars but this one doesn't even help you, they act like a parasite. They give little to no benefits other than hogging one seat
Haven't played in awhile, but from these I fit into 2 categories The Doofinators and The Photographers, usually because once I finish my photos I divebomb into the tornado

Nahh the reed timmers are crazy
Honestly I’m a navigator cus I have a shitty pc and can’t see the clouds so I just learned to see everything going on on radar and someone asked me to navigate for the em and I’ve just stuck with them
At the moment I'm a mix between a probe dropper and a radar watcher.
Damn I am an interceptor a navigator a probe dropper and I was a doofinator at the start... 😂😂
I used to be a photographer, probe dropper, and radar watcher. I’m now a reed timmer.
I’m a mix of a Dowinator, Photographer and a Reed Timmer. I use the DOW (except I still don’t know how to use it in 1.21), try to take photogenic pictures sometimes, and say stuff like Reed to myself whenever something intense is happening. Sometimes, late at night, where I want to play Twisted but I don’t want to chase, I sit back at the NWS office and issue warnings. Radar watcher, I guess?
I’m a probe dropper, but if I had an intercept vehicle I would definitely be an interceptor
I’m both a interceptor and navigator, I actually help lots of storm chasers predict, but I’m also a bit of a reed timmer sometimes
I’m a mix of a probe dropper and stay there and a person who is directing people to the tornado
I’m the doofinator, sometimes
I’m mainly the probe dropper since I’m still a newbie, but sometimes when I’m bored I just go in the tornado.
W vid man! Welcome to the twisted CC Community!🎉
def a doofinator i dont know how to play I just try to put probs near the tornardo but always miss and then get sucked in trying to replace them.
Me the one who never can get money and me also in tornado risking my life placing probes:
(I also report damages and watch radar until tornado)
I wanna add 1 more stereotype:
The Hitchhikers
Like the navigator they get in people's cars but this one doesn't even help you, they act like a parasite. They give little to no benefits other than hogging one seat
I was probe dropping and got sucked up and somehow my mighty pickup truck lived for like 5-10 seconds in a pink or orange tornado
Me, who just go to a house in a town and just stares the storm how it's forming and destroy things.
that’s so real
As a Dow 6 user I spend all day on radar helping people see storms and tornados yet I still storm chase
Being a probe dropper gets really hard when the tornado's movements get erratic, so I just stick to being the photographer in most cases.
Haven't played in awhile, but from these I fit into 2 categories
The Doofinators and The Photographers, usually because once I finish my photos I divebomb into the tornado
im a probe dropper rn but im working on becoming an intercepter
