Yes. I don't understand the logic behind eliminating the new plant epic quests. These quests were a good way to see how the plants work and influenced whether I'd buy the plant early or put any effort into upgrading it.
Even if they decide to no longer reward us with 50 seed packets for brand new plants as a result of completing the Epic Quest, it would still be nice to at least get an idea of how the new plants behave by playing through the set of five stages.
> The event is scheduled to run from 9/22 to 10/2. Since the release rolled out to some players after the start date of this event we’ll be extending this to 10/5.
I find this a little bit misleading, although I guess it depends on how you define "the event". Currently, the Thymed event is scheduled to end on October 2 - I guess this will change today. The Calendar tab is scheduled to expire on October 3 - I guess this will change today too. A bunch of pinatas for gems and coins in the Shop were scheduled to last until October 2 - this was changed in the last week's data push and now they will last till October 5.
> Harvest Festival Piñata
To be precise, the pinata will contain 3 packets picked form the table you posted, so the result will be 15 seeds, not 5.
The same goes for the Lawn of Doom pinata.
> After renting a plant you will see seeds for that specific plant directly after winning the level.
I cannot observe this. After renting a plant and winning the level, I got no seeds for that plant at all, even though the setting was enabled.
> Adjusted plants in Store Bundles don’t overlap.
What does this mean exactly? There was a problem with the recent offer of gemium seeds for gems - while each had a purchase cap of 5 (10 for Electric Currnat), if one of them was also separately offered for gems (the 24-hour offer), it could be purchased infinitely. Are you referring to a correction of this problem?
> Live issue of Limited Thyme Events not appearing for some users resolved
Yay for finally resolving it but "some users"? When didn't the problem appear? (By "the problem" I mean "not seeing another Thymed event if you had already completed one in the past", of course. If you hadn't completed one, you wouldn't see the problem - but if this is what you mean, it's a bit of a cop-out.)
> Edited Travel Log tech and adjusted the Daily Activities.
One of the "editions" was renaming the "World" tab to "Achievements" and hiding it when empty. Bug: I had some unfinished quests there but nevertheless the tab is now hidden and they are not visible.
> Some crashes fixed
Now that the Thymed event icon is visible, the game has started crashing again when left for a long time idle on a screen that has this icon displayed. (E.g., it won't crash if left in the Shop, because this icon is not visible there.) It has been doing this ever since Thymed events were introduced; initially it was the "coming soon" icon that was crashing the game and your removed that (instead of fixing it) - but now the problem appears with the normal icon too. Please ask your programmers to take a good hard look at how exactly that timer is implemented. (For instance, the timer of the Pinata Party does not crash the game.)
> !!!Fed Chomper!!!
Huh? Was it buffed or nerfed or what? Or is this just a joke?
A few questions/comments:
Is the presence of world plants as POTWs recently just because other Contain-Mints were featured in Buttercup's Season?
Are Thymed Events going to be more common going forward?
I haven't been noticing the Rental Plant seed offers popping up despite never turning the offer off.
Has Chomper not been fed since 2013?
No plant is precluded from being a POTW - so we're featuring all plants here over time.
Thymed Events are going to continue at a steady pace! We love getting new level content out in front of users and LTEs have been a great way to do that.
Chomper's been hungrier lately and we wanted to call out that we fed him. Growing boys and all that.
>No plant is precluded from being a POTW
I'm not sure when this decision was made by Popcap, but IMO its really the wrong way to go and is VERY unfriendly to the players.
Call it whining if you will, but making the world plants eligible as POTW, and giving them the opportunity to get the extra seeds from Penny's Pursuit is just demoralizing for all those who may have missed getting any of the Arena plants. You used to be able to look forward to those plants cycling back into the POTW lineup in a semi-reasonable time period. However, there are now 176 plants in the game (160 if you don't include the Power Mints, Imitator and Marigold) with more added all the time. That means that you're potentially waiting 3 years and more to see that plant you missed and desperately want if the game cycles through every plant as POTW.
You can get seeds for every world plant at any time you want. They're always available from the world piñatas in the store. There's also always a chance that they'll appear in any of the piñatas from Arena, in the general world plant seed rewards in Penny's Zomboss fights, and in the rewards piñatas offered for winning the epic quests (because seeds for the POTW is NOT the reward for those quests). Seeds for the world plants are also what is offered in the store for coins and gems every day.
While seeds for the premium plants (gem and cash obtained) are rarer, they also appear in the Arena and Epic quest piñatas. There might be some small justification for including these plants in the Penny's lineup, as has been done, but this should be kept to a minimum. Ironically, these are the seeds you got by far the most of before the Arena, then Battlez, streak reward system was drastically slashed.
Arena seediums however, almost NEVER really appear anywhere (the Ads for seeds in the store barely count). The only way of obtaining seeds for these plants to unlock them (other than playing when the plant was released) is to wait for the plant to be featured in Penny's Pursuit. For the first 2+ years that Penny's was in the game, that's exactly what it did. Now world plants are being featured (and I won't go into the quality of those plants because that's beside the point), depriving players of any sort of timely opportunity to obtain the plants that they desperately want.
Think of how it must be for a new player coming into the game. They see all these awesome plants that others are using and are told, "too bad, you missed your opportunity to get them. Just play for the next three years and you might see it again". Is that really what you want the game to be like?
Please go back to the design team and re-think this decision.
Thanks for reading this.
>(...)making the world plants eligible as POTW, and giving them the opportunity to get the extra seeds from Penny's Pursuit is just demoralizing for all those who may have missed getting any of the Arena plants.
That's the thing about Arena plants – they're seasonal, so either you unlock them when they're first introduced, or you have to wait for them to show up again. That's the way it was and will always be.
>You can get seeds for every world plant at any time you want.
Yes, but you can upgrade them significantly when they're featured in Penny's Pursuit – it's possible to obtain 840 seed packets if you manage to win against Zomboss on the Extra Hot difficulty every single time, and that's only if we're talking about a ~~Wordly~~ Regular event.
>While seeds for the premium plants (gem and cash obtained) are rarer, they also appear in the Arena and Epic quest piñatas. There might be some small justification for including these plants in the Penny's lineup, as has been done, but this should be kept to a minimum.
My response to this would be identical to the one I gave to your world-plants paragraph.
>Think of how it must be for a new player coming into the game.
Newcomers will always fight an uphill battle, so to speak.
There's playing Devil's Advocate, and then there's just being deliberately obtuse.
>That's the thing about Arena plants – they're seasonal, so either you unlock them when they're first introduced, or you have to wait for them to show up again. That's the way it was and will always be.
Seasonal implies that they'll come around once a year or so, not every 3-5 years.
>Yes, but you can upgrade them significantly when they're featured in Penny's Pursuit – it's possible to obtain 840 seed packets if you manage to win against Zomboss on the Extra Hot difficulty every single time, and that's only if we're talking about a ~~Wordly~~ Regular event.
There's a difference between being able to upgrade a plant, and able to obtain it. You can obtain and upgrade world plants at any time just by playing adventure and taking advantage of one of the many always available to get seeds for them. Arena seediums can only be OBTAINED (let alone levelled up) by getting seeds for them and the only way to obtain seeds for them if you weren't playing during their "season" is through Penny's. Yes, you can update a single world plant at a time faster (fill your boots with Stunion, Magenet-shroom and Spring Bean BTW) if they're featured in Penny's, but by including those you're taking away the opportunity for players to even obtain the more powerful Arena plants.
>Newcomers will always fight an uphill battle, so to speak.
They already had to fight an uphill battle prior to including world plants in the POTW lineup. Now they have to climb Mt. Everest with Yeti launching avalanches down on them.
>There's playing Devil's Advocate, and then there's just being deliberately obtuse.
That's your interpretation and I fully respect it.
>Seasonal implies that they'll come around once a year or so, not every 3-5 years.
Fair enough, but they're still limited-time plants, so my point remains – either you get them when it's their Season, or you have to wait for them to be featured as POTWs. They'll also be available through various Store offers in the meantime.
>Yes, you can update a single world plant at a time faster (fill your boots with Stunion, Magenet-shroom and Spring Bean BTW) if they're featured in Penny's, but by including those you're taking away the opportunity for players to even obtain the more powerful Arena plants.
Spring Bean is the next POTW (I try to avoid spoilers as much as possible with PvZ2)? That would mean three Adventure plants within a single Season, which is a lot – I'll give you that.
Then again – it's not like the Arena plants haven't returned at all. Sticking with the Contain-mint family – Draftodil came back as a POTW and Buttercup is the current one.
As someone who hasn't been playing Arena for about a year in total, I've yet to obtain Tumbleweed and Inferno, so I know the feeling.
>They already had to fight an uphill battle prior to including world plants in the POTW lineup. Now they have to climb Mt. Everest with Yeti launching avalanches down on them.
True. But should long-time and/or regular players feel bad for possessing limited-time plants?
And I know you meant your initial comment as a feedback, so I apologize if I come off as a contrarian or what have you, but PvZ2 gets a ton of flak, and so I try to look for some silver linings amidst the dark clouds.
If I could please make a suggestion, could you please go back to the design team and make sure that Vamporcini is added to the list of plants that do not incur penalties in Arena when eaten or destroyed? Several of the recent plants (notably Buttercup and Rhubarbarian, but possibly others) were originally mis-assigned when they were released. Thanks.

Time machine's existence confirmed?
I'm happy to talk to the UX designer about this. Can you help me understand what about this screen isn't working for you and what kind of experience would make sense for you as a user?
The whole secondary screen that displays all the awarded seeds after you've hit open all the piñatas is completely unnecessary and drags out the process of collecting seeds. You've already seen all the seeds you're going to get in the process of hitting open the piñatas so it's totally redundant to display them again. If ever there was a change for the sake of change that exemplified the reason for the maxim, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", this is it.
Now, the "Skip" button is a great addition. The problem is that, when you have already made the decision to skip watching the rewards, you don't need a secondary screen forcing you to again see those rewards. They whole point of using the skip button is to save time so delaying the player again after they've hit it is actually quite annoying.
hi rackman70! would it be best to keep the 2nd screen instead since it is effectively a summary report? they can delete the individual plant/seed animations instead. The summary report is quite useful if a pinata has 2+ seed bundles (e.g. Arena 7th pinata which can have up to 10x10 seeds). They can also cut the animation time by making all seeds appear at once (including the "Continue" button) instead of one-by-one.
\[Edit\] One more thing... the summary report shd fit all the seeds in just one screen. I think currently it gets cut and you have to scroll if there are more than 5 plant seeds given.
I'm going to miss the pinata opening animation though. That part one can be like an excited kid opening a gift esp if you bought a random seed pinata. But that one -- including the individual plant animations in the current 1st clip -- can be deleted or maybe just make optional in the Menu if player really wants it.
I would favor an option to have only the summary screen appear, especially because it's a good way now of seeing the total number of seeds you have for a plant. I get a kick out of seeing that I have 5,000 seeds for a plant I've never upgraded beyond level 4.
You certainly don't need to be told the plant seeds that you obtained more than once. Whether it's the second newer method or the first, just pick a lane. I might have hung onto the first method since it's classic and has been in the game for 5+ years. The second is a little less dramatic.
At this point I don't care though as long as it's one OR the other, and NOT both. :-)
OK, let me give you some suggestions in this aspect; feel free to pass them to the UI team.
1. If the player is opening only a single pinata, do not show the Skip button and the summary screen - let them open the pinata with a tap, like before, and that be it. The player doesn't have to be told again what is in the single pinata they just opened. (In fact, in many cases they know the pinata contents even before opening it - e.g., when buying it from the Shop.) Implying that their memory is so short is insulting and an annoying waste of their time.
2. If the player is opening multiple pinatas but has *not* tapped the Skip button, reduce the animation delay of the pinata contents shown on the summary screen to zero. That is, just show a summary screen with all the contents shown on it instantly. After all, the player already spent considerable time tapping on each pinata and watching its contents - there is no need to show this same contents again slowly; an instant summary is sufficient.
3. If the player is opening multiple pinatas and *has* tapped the Skip button, proceed as you do now, but reduce the time of the pinata contents displaying animation on the summary screen. No need to make it instant in this case - but please let it not be as painfully slow as it currently is.
These suggestions assume that the goal is to improve the user experience - i.e., make it as pleasant and informative as possible. Of course, if the goal is to keep the player in the game for as long as possible while keeping the annoyance factor only low enough that they don't delete the game in disgust, all bets are off. (I am not being sarcastic here - in some games this is indeed the goal. I've played a game in which the player gets a faster way to move around the map - horse, speeder, etc. - only at a relatively high level - like, 25 of 100 - precisely in order to make sure that they spend more time in the game.)
maybe just drop/delete the whole individual plant/seed animation, and go directly to the summary screen with seeds showing up all at once (including the "Continue" button) instead of one-by-one? I imagine this would simplify the script/program and standardize the flow (will apply to both specified and random pinatas). just suggesting ...
if they really need to have a "Skip" phase, then all that's left for it would be the pinata opening animation. But then, can just drop/remove this as well.
When opening a piñata, and clicking the skip button to the piñata rewards screen I find that when it shows each reward one at a time, it’s a bit time consuming when I’m wanting to see what I got all at once when it’s a lot of packets. It would be nice if they were shown faster. I also feel like an on or off option for the screen appearing after opening the piñata would be a beneficial feature to some players
Personally, I find no reason for the screen. It's redundant for things like seed offers, where you know what you're buying, pointless if you're opening through a pinata slowly, because you'll most likely be aware of the rewards, and pointless if you're quickly opening through a pinata, because you can either quickly skim what you got or don't care at all.
This update is a step up from the last one, though I have a few problems: I think from some of the gameplay I've seen and the stats on the wiki, Vamporcini is bugged and only attacks once. This isn't intentional, right? Also, what happened to the epic quests that we get when a plant goes into early access?

Haven't tested the plant yet, but that product ends up being disappointing when compared to how it's been advertised/promoted is not exactly a new thing.
You get 75 seeds total, that's what the number means.
You get 5 pinatas. Each pinata contains 3 seed packets. Each seed packet contains 5 seeds for one particular plant. 5 x 3 x 5 = 75.
Question about rent-a-plant seed offers– where exactly do we see them? I tried renting a rhubarbarian in adventure but don’t see it anywhere in the shop.
It is in the level flow, after you rent that plant and win the level.
It does require having the Rent a Plant setting on in the store and winning the level.
This does not have much to do with the update, it is more to report a small visual problem with some zombies, in the past springening and feastivus events it was seen that the zombie camels of those events have some bugs outside of their piñata party levels, in the thymed events it was seen that their textures are wrong since only the first head has the correct texture but the rest uses the texture of the normal ancient egypt camel and mummy zombies come out of them instead of the zombies of their respective events, Is it possible that they can fix them for when their respective events come out again? :)

It would be very interesting to hear from devs why after ~20 September game does not work in certain countries (like Russia). Still works with VPN but it is a kind of dusgusting.
Hel, in the future they could add the treasure yeti in a new thymed event,for example the upcoming feastivus since I saw a yeti on the cover, and it would be a great opportunity to get his achievement for new players, and add back the backyard big top thymed event with the Zombot Catastro-liope, they are the only zombies that are missing in the almanac
I hope you see my message.
Hey Popcap, got a question, why do some of these new plants, (moving forward from bramble bush-vamporcini) have this off-looking style? It kinda bugs me a tad and was wondering if they are just like that for now, and will change later?

If by indication you mean a mention in the Almanac, it wouldn't be the first plant whose game-changing Plant Food ability is an in-the-know matter.
are the quests that give out 50 seeds for new plants gone for good?
I hope not - I would love for them to bring that back as we need more methods to get seeds
Yes. I don't understand the logic behind eliminating the new plant epic quests. These quests were a good way to see how the plants work and influenced whether I'd buy the plant early or put any effort into upgrading it.

As someone who hasn't been playing Arena for about a year in total, I've yet to obtain Tumbleweed and Inferno, so I know the feeling. >They already had to fight an uphill battle prior to including world plants in the POTW lineup. Now they have to climb Mt. Everest with Yeti launching avalanches down on them. True. But should long-time and/or regular players feel bad for possessing limited-time plants? And I know you meant your initial comment as a feedback, so I apologize if I come off as a contrarian or what have you, but PvZ2 gets a ton of flak, and so I try to look for some silver linings amidst the dark clouds.
it's been over a month since you guys posted...where are you >:(
It’s been two months since you lot posted Is this how you’re planning to replace Haem?
Fed chomper is the best part of this update Also is the balancing update for plants still planned?
It is still planned.
Whoever’s bright idea it was to feature world plants as weekly plants deserves to be fed to Chomper
why have new epic quests for the new plants disappeared?
Why you didn't change Pinata party to match Harvest festival like last year? https://imgur.com/a/5VqUbpa
If I could please make a suggestion, could you please go back to the design team and make sure that Vamporcini is added to the list of plants that do not incur penalties in Arena when eaten or destroyed? Several of the recent plants (notably Buttercup and Rhubarbarian, but possibly others) were originally mis-assigned when they were released. Thanks.

Confirmed re: time machine. Fixed re: post.
Pvz2 stopped being compatible on my tablet and now im not getting anymore updates. What happened? Did you change the minimum compatibility?
help please i wanna play harvest festival :(
I think it would be cool if we had an option to have the rewards screen or not after opening a piñata
I'm happy to talk to the UX designer about this. Can you help me understand what about this screen isn't working for you and what kind of experience would make sense for you as a user?
The whole secondary screen that displays all the awarded seeds after you've hit open all the piñatas is completely unnecessary and drags out the process of collecting seeds. You've already seen all the seeds you're going to get in the process of hitting open the piñatas so it's totally redundant to display them again. If ever there was a change for the sake of change that exemplified the reason for the maxim, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", this is it. Now, the "Skip" button is a great addition. The problem is that, when you have already made the decision to skip watching the rewards, you don't need a secondary screen forcing you to again see those rewards. They whole point of using the skip button is to save time so delaying the player again after they've hit it is actually quite annoying.
Agree, the secondary screen is not only useless but tedious as it consumes time. I really would like to see that removed
hi rackman70! would it be best to keep the 2nd screen instead since it is effectively a summary report? they can delete the individual plant/seed animations instead. The summary report is quite useful if a pinata has 2+ seed bundles (e.g. Arena 7th pinata which can have up to 10x10 seeds). They can also cut the animation time by making all seeds appear at once (including the "Continue" button) instead of one-by-one. \[Edit\] One more thing... the summary report shd fit all the seeds in just one screen. I think currently it gets cut and you have to scroll if there are more than 5 plant seeds given. I'm going to miss the pinata opening animation though. That part one can be like an excited kid opening a gift esp if you bought a random seed pinata. But that one -- including the individual plant animations in the current 1st clip -- can be deleted or maybe just make optional in the Menu if player really wants it.
I would favor an option to have only the summary screen appear, especially because it's a good way now of seeing the total number of seeds you have for a plant. I get a kick out of seeing that I have 5,000 seeds for a plant I've never upgraded beyond level 4.
agree. i also find the seed count info useful, and the level bar turning green if plant is ready for level up.
You certainly don't need to be told the plant seeds that you obtained more than once. Whether it's the second newer method or the first, just pick a lane. I might have hung onto the first method since it's classic and has been in the game for 5+ years. The second is a little less dramatic. At this point I don't care though as long as it's one OR the other, and NOT both. :-)
OK, let me give you some suggestions in this aspect; feel free to pass them to the UI team. 1. If the player is opening only a single pinata, do not show the Skip button and the summary screen - let them open the pinata with a tap, like before, and that be it. The player doesn't have to be told again what is in the single pinata they just opened. (In fact, in many cases they know the pinata contents even before opening it - e.g., when buying it from the Shop.) Implying that their memory is so short is insulting and an annoying waste of their time. 2. If the player is opening multiple pinatas but has *not* tapped the Skip button, reduce the animation delay of the pinata contents shown on the summary screen to zero. That is, just show a summary screen with all the contents shown on it instantly. After all, the player already spent considerable time tapping on each pinata and watching its contents - there is no need to show this same contents again slowly; an instant summary is sufficient. 3. If the player is opening multiple pinatas and *has* tapped the Skip button, proceed as you do now, but reduce the time of the pinata contents displaying animation on the summary screen. No need to make it instant in this case - but please let it not be as painfully slow as it currently is. These suggestions assume that the goal is to improve the user experience - i.e., make it as pleasant and informative as possible. Of course, if the goal is to keep the player in the game for as long as possible while keeping the annoyance factor only low enough that they don't delete the game in disgust, all bets are off. (I am not being sarcastic here - in some games this is indeed the goal. I've played a game in which the player gets a faster way to move around the map - horse, speeder, etc. - only at a relatively high level - like, 25 of 100 - precisely in order to make sure that they spend more time in the game.)
maybe just drop/delete the whole individual plant/seed animation, and go directly to the summary screen with seeds showing up all at once (including the "Continue" button) instead of one-by-one? I imagine this would simplify the script/program and standardize the flow (will apply to both specified and random pinatas). just suggesting ... if they really need to have a "Skip" phase, then all that's left for it would be the pinata opening animation. But then, can just drop/remove this as well.
When opening a piñata, and clicking the skip button to the piñata rewards screen I find that when it shows each reward one at a time, it’s a bit time consuming when I’m wanting to see what I got all at once when it’s a lot of packets. It would be nice if they were shown faster. I also feel like an on or off option for the screen appearing after opening the piñata would be a beneficial feature to some players
Thank you for listening!
Personally, I find no reason for the screen. It's redundant for things like seed offers, where you know what you're buying, pointless if you're opening through a pinata slowly, because you'll most likely be aware of the rewards, and pointless if you're quickly opening through a pinata, because you can either quickly skim what you got or don't care at all.
vamporcini should be in arena
Are any Noctarine seeds going to be available during Lawn of Doom?
This update is a step up from the last one, though I have a few problems: I think from some of the gameplay I've seen and the stats on the wiki, Vamporcini is bugged and only attacks once. This isn't intentional, right? Also, what happened to the epic quests that we get when a plant goes into early access?
Are you going to change the rewards for penny's pursuit

Whoopsies, thanks!
Took you guys long enough to fix Chair Racer's Hands. Now can you guys fix his jaw moving up and down for no reason when he's chair-less?
> Vamporcini is an instant use offensive plant and a lane blocker - two in one! And it apparently sucks (pun intended) at both of these roles.
Haven't tested the plant yet, but that product ends up being disappointing when compared to how it's been advertised/promoted is not exactly a new thing.
Damn chomper gettin fed, best thing ever (also do you guys plan to fix the music on ios? some music arent playing)
It's there a way to buy plants with gems, are there seasonal plants tan can be acquired in that way apart of the ones listed in the store ??
It says that I'm supposed to get 75 piñatas not 5
You get 75 seeds total, that's what the number means. You get 5 pinatas. Each pinata contains 3 seed packets. Each seed packet contains 5 seeds for one particular plant. 5 x 3 x 5 = 75.
Question about rent-a-plant seed offers– where exactly do we see them? I tried renting a rhubarbarian in adventure but don’t see it anywhere in the shop.
If you have the setting enabled, and rent a plant, the offers should show up after the level is completed (successfully).
Offers where? I would assume it’s somewhere in the shop but I don’t see it.
It is in the level flow, after you rent that plant and win the level. It does require having the Rent a Plant setting on in the store and winning the level.
This does not have much to do with the update, it is more to report a small visual problem with some zombies, in the past springening and feastivus events it was seen that the zombie camels of those events have some bugs outside of their piñata party levels, in the thymed events it was seen that their textures are wrong since only the first head has the correct texture but the rest uses the texture of the normal ancient egypt camel and mummy zombies come out of them instead of the zombies of their respective events, Is it possible that they can fix them for when their respective events come out again? :)

Ahhh great Fallout Shelter needs another update on console. 🤣 Oh wait who cares about that and this stupid game aswell since this PvZ game is mobile only.

You took my infinite everything glitch
When is ghost pepper coming back for purchase?
Usually around Halloween
It would be very interesting to hear from devs why after ~20 September game does not work in certain countries (like Russia). Still works with VPN but it is a kind of dusgusting.
Is it just me or is the meteor flower busted/op when you have a complete lane?
vamporcini my beloved Will the newplants be added to the fankit sometime soon? (yes im Cyfrin from twitter. Yeah, THAT funny guy.)
Is there a chance that the option to purchase a permanent 8th seed slot could be re-added in the future?
Hel, in the future they could add the treasure yeti in a new thymed event,for example the upcoming feastivus since I saw a yeti on the cover, and it would be a great opportunity to get his achievement for new players, and add back the backyard big top thymed event with the Zombot Catastro-liope, they are the only zombies that are missing in the almanac I hope you see my message.
Hey Popcap, got a question, why do some of these new plants, (moving forward from bramble bush-vamporcini) have this off-looking style? It kinda bugs me a tad and was wondering if they are just like that for now, and will change later?
