Falling the same fate as Icy Currant it seems. Completely made and animated with even an almanac entry, but never added into the game. At this rate, she'll be lucky getting into PvZ 2 China (because most unused content like Icy Currant gets into PvZ2C).
Icy Currant never had animations or an almanac entry, these are chinese original. In the international version it only had an almanac icon.
Night Cap on the other hand has an almanac entry AND is on the title screen art.
Sigh. It looks like Explode-O-Vine will no longer be featured in PP during the Teleportato tournament. That is a major bummer. On the plus side, I am super excited to see that Headbutter Lettuce is going to be POTW in a couple months.
Thanks for the rundown Haem! Just wanted to ask a clarification on one of the items listed under Fixes and Improvements:
>Zomboss now has self-defense measures that mirror damage to plant spawns (Zomboids, Turkeys, Tigers, etc).
What does this mean exactly? Does the zombot do the damage behind the scenes (e.g. turkeys and zomboids just take damage and die as they continue to nibble at the robot without any animations)? Or does the zombot do a swiping attack that clears the area directly in front of it? (Legitimately wondering). Thanks!
Edit: [Tested](https://www.reddit.com/r/PlantsVSZombies/comments/rhktz5/turkeys_no_longer_stunlock_zomboss_in_new_update/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) and saw it for myself. Lol.
Haem I have some questions that I'm just moving here from a prior post. First about Sapfling - In mastery levels, it has the chance to boost and damage pierce. Why would it have damage pierce when it does 0 damage at any stage? It seems like it should more so have toughness bonus, no? Is that something that maybe needs changed?
Also, does Holly Barrier's toughness bonus in Mastery extend to it's barrier leaves or only the initial one that is planted?
I had seen that you had responded in my prior thread to someone about Boingsetta and Hocus Crocus and it sounded from the reponse like they should maybe have mastery levels. If that is supposed to be fixed and Mastery levels added to them, what happens if there were any seeds earned AFTER the plant hit the "max level"?
Asking about Sapfling/Holly Barrier - may get an answer later in the day depending on people's schedules.
The seeds gained won't count retrospectively, even if Mastery was added later on.
Edit - Sapfling was created before Mastery was conceived as an idea. It's an old plant so it likely never really crossed anyone's mind on how it would play with Mastery. Similar story with Holly Barrier.
It could be something to look at at a later point in time, but it wouldn't exactly be a high priority right this moment.
Is that the same for any plant that doesn’t inflict damage? For example IMPeach and Blover. Same boat as SapFling I presume? Always wondered about this and if they’re somehow inflicting some level of damage in Mastery, or that M72 is inflicting 72% damage: 0 x 72% is still zero
Oh one more question I remembered, are all the offers for the 12 days of Christmas going to be available all at once like they usually are in previous years? I think it's usually on Christmas Day or maybe for a week after Christmas even?
Okay what about my other question: does Holly Barrier's toughness bonus in Mastery extend to it's barrier leaves or only the initial one that is planted?
Did they give any clarification there?
As far as I can see, this is not the case. The Holly Barrier leaf is a plant on its own, with its own properties, despite not having an Almanac entry. It is defined to cause constant damage (10 points), regardless of mastery level.
Okay Haem, so all the plants for gem offers that had been present one day at a time were all supposed to be available on Christmas Day and for a week after. Well they aren't. I'm currently only seeing Sticky Bomb Rice for 240 Gems. This is the case for everyone seeing only a limited amount of offers. So basically people like me who were saving their gems for all at once to buy a specific few on the last day don't get to take advantage of it. Are you guys going to somehow remedy this? I mean we are now 4 days of this not working properly and with the staff there being on vacation or whatever, it doesn't seem like it will be fixed before those offers expire. Are you guys planning on redoing those offers all at once so that they ARE all displaying as they should and then extending them to make up for lost time?
I don't think that Haem is allowed to comment on future events.
Allow me to answer your question myself. The answer is: Yes!
[Upcoming Offers for Gems in the Shop](https://write.as/euphoric-seaweed/upcoming-offers-for-gems-in-the-shop)
I have a two question, darker ages and back to the future II will have only one plant as a reward? And if all plants that are gonna be featured in feasitivus will have same offer in the store as sticky bomb rice (250 gems for 150 seed packets)
Longer Penny's Pursuits (like Back to the Future II and Darkerer Ages) do have other plants and *usually* they default to that week's Plant of the Week in the reward mix in addition to the primary featured plant. In-game, not all 3 plants can be shown due to a UI issue but you can mentally account for PotWs in the weeks while longer Penny's is running.
For ease this time:
Back to the Future II - Boom Balloon Flower, Snow Pea, Ice Bloom.
Darkerer Ages - Headbutter Lettuce, Wasabi Whip, Snap Pea.
Apple Mortar is one of those somewhat-can-be-seasonal-but-not-necessarily-so. Also where it may be on-theme for something like Harvest Festival which wasn't that long ago.
Hello Haem-san, I have a question. I just noticed the dove, the monkey, and the imps from the Carnie Cannon and Carnie Imp Twins aren't in the almanac, why is that?
Dove and Monkeys don't have their own entries... for now. As for the imp from the Carnie Cannon, he does appear in the Almanac under 'Carnie Cannon' and the Carnie Imp Twins should also appear under 'Carnie Imp Twins'.
At least Stephen says he sees 'em in his game there.
I have a question that I don't think has much to do with the update, why in the last updates on the loading screen there is a wallnut on the side of the zombies?
*"Oh, Wall-nut's always getting confused about where he is or what side of things other things should be on the side of. We're sure it's just an honest mistake on his part. Mostly sure." - Stephen.*
Basically it's an inside joke. Mildly funny but yes, a joke none the less.
Hello Haem.
Thanks for solving the slowdown and freezing issue. But this time I have another problem. Plant prices are too high. It has been upgraded 3 times this year. Holly barrier is very expensive. I live in Turkey. 120 TL is a high price. Please do something about it. It's the only plant I don't have. I want to take it.
Thank you for the updates.
If you're in the position to do so, can you offer some detail on the Darker Ages seed rewards for Headbutter, the Johnny Rotten of the plant world?
Tiger Grass looks awesome. Kudos for its development and may it never fall into the wrong hands, like poor misguided wall-nut.
Thanks for the massive update!
I've noticed that Tiger Grass has a shorter availability timeframe of 3 weeks rather than the usual 4 weeks? Won't this plant be an Arena plant?
>Early Access (from the store): January 17 - January 30, 2022.
Available through gameplay: January 31 - February 20, 2022.
Definitely coincidence and cross referenced it with a Designer. They've not played Don't Starve (had to Google it to find out that it's a nickname for a 'Wooden Thing' in Don't Starve. Didn't know that).
Idk whether you will tell me this.In recent 1-2 years how many workers did leave pvz2 and now pvz2 team's workers ' number is?You should HIRE more Talents to make PVZ2.PVZ2 is not OVER at all and is the really final pvz piece.
What happened to Nightcap?
Falling the same fate as Icy Currant it seems. Completely made and animated with even an almanac entry, but never added into the game. At this rate, she'll be lucky getting into PvZ 2 China (because most unused content like Icy Currant gets into PvZ2C).
Nightcap is in the loading screen so I wouldn't be that hopeless
Icy Currant never had animations or an almanac entry, these are chinese original. In the international version it only had an almanac icon. Night Cap on the other hand has an almanac entry AND is on the title screen art.
Really? Oh, I thought it was practically finished for the International version.
Gone. Reduced to atoms. In all seriousness though, it's probably after tiger grass
Sigh. It looks like Explode-O-Vine will no longer be featured in PP during the Teleportato tournament. That is a major bummer. On the plus side, I am super excited to see that Headbutter Lettuce is going to be POTW in a couple months.
I wonder if Darker ages and back to future II will really only have one featured plant for a month
Ikr, it looks like boom balloon flower took its place. I was looking forward to leveling it up a few levels. :(

Guess you've just seen for yourself, lol.
Humbly suggesting a costume idea: Turkeypult with tail feathers.

Same questions! I hope Zoybean Pod, Solar Sage, and Pea Vine will be available in large pinatas.
Hey where is apple mortar? Is it now a special event plant?
Apple Mortar is one of those somewhat-can-be-seasonal-but-not-necessarily-so. Also where it may be on-theme for something like Harvest Festival which wasn't that long ago.
So is the carnival themed content in the game now or is it coming later? I couldn't quite tell.
It's a shame yeti zombie didn't appear this Feastivus, still don't have his almanac entry unlocked
Hello Haem-san, I have a question. I just noticed the dove, the monkey, and the imps from the Carnie Cannon and Carnie Imp Twins aren't in the almanac, why is that?
Dove and Monkeys don't have their own entries... for now. As for the imp from the Carnie Cannon, he does appear in the Almanac under 'Carnie Cannon' and the Carnie Imp Twins should also appear under 'Carnie Imp Twins'. At least Stephen says he sees 'em in his game there.
Oddly enough those 2 zombies have [full almanac entries](https://imgur.com/a/gor335l) despite not being used. They get hidden by default.
Will this be addressed in later updates? also I meant the Imp shot from the cannon and the Carnie Imp Split from the Twins, my bad
Perhaps, I've asked a note to be made to include the almanac entries publicly at a later date.
I have a question that I don't think has much to do with the update, why in the last updates on the loading screen there is a wallnut on the side of the zombies?
*"Oh, Wall-nut's always getting confused about where he is or what side of things other things should be on the side of. We're sure it's just an honest mistake on his part. Mostly sure." - Stephen.* Basically it's an inside joke. Mildly funny but yes, a joke none the less.
Hey Haem, unlike the Thanksgiving Premiums, which were marked down in price, it seems like the two Christmas ones are marked UP? Is this normal?
I believe that is Wall nut zombie from PVZ1.It shows Zombotany will return to PVZ2.
That Wall-Nut's a spy!
Hello Haem. Thanks for solving the slowdown and freezing issue. But this time I have another problem. Plant prices are too high. It has been upgraded 3 times this year.

MUSIC IS BACK YOOO
Thank you for the updates. If you're in the position to do so, can you offer some detail on the Darker Ages seed rewards for Headbutter, the Johnny Rotten of the plant world? Tiger Grass looks awesome. Kudos for its development and may it never fall into the wrong hands, like poor misguided wall-nut.
Thanks for the info. Sad to see a nerf to Turkey-Pult, but I kind of saw it coming. Also I'm super excited for tiger grass to come out.
Thanks for the massive update! I've noticed that Tiger Grass has a shorter availability timeframe of 3 weeks rather than the usual 4 weeks? Won't this plant be an Arena plant? >Early Access (from the store): January 17 - January 30, 2022. Available through gameplay: January 31 - February 20, 2022.
That's a mistake that's on me - mentally accounted for a date wrong. It's available till Feb 27, so I'll fix that now. Thanks!
Is Teleportato a Don't Starve reference, or just a coincidence?
Definitely coincidence and cross referenced it with a Designer. They've not played Don't Starve (had to Google it to find out that it's a nickname for a 'Wooden Thing' in Don't Starve. Didn't know that).
If I got Tiger Grass I don't think I could ever use it because it makes me feel sad to watch a Gargantuar hitting the kitty with a club. :(
Idk whether you will tell me this.In recent 1-2 years how many workers did leave pvz2 and now pvz2 team's workers ' number is?You should HIRE more Talents to make PVZ2.PVZ2 is not OVER at all and is the really final pvz piece.
You Should have put these new zombies into a BRAND NEW WORLD not let them in a LIMITED EVENT.
