COSTUME WATCH 👀

@HenryThePear  Sorry but your group is not a legit source since they already showed they are willing to overwrite pp.dat files by giving you an "early" access to the mints.If you find any youtube video that shows someone using that or other costumes and there is no other evidence (video) that they modded/hacked the game I'm VERY willing to watch it. I couldn't find any video! Only Alien Gurke used it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWQPchQaYUI

I am having a lot of old costumes in my 2016 profile that i can not seem to get it by now.

Yes, and that is because there are ~50 costumes that are not in the costume cycle but have been released earlier. This does not include the "unused" costumes!

9th January

He looks so sweet in that costume 😛

does anyone have an idea how to get this costume? 

@HenryThePear You can always check here if it is in the costume cycle: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlantsVSZombies/comments/814v7b/1st_of_march_costume/

Just search for the word "Torch" 

I really question myself what costumes were in here.

That is one of the most recent costumes I got,  probably less than a year ago.  It's not in the cycle but I remember buying it most likely with gems

I just checked...

It should be in the cycle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2KlHjLgaJI (12:05)

and https://www.reddit.com/r/PlantsVSZombies/comments/814v7b/1st_of_march_costume/ (April, 9th 2018) Shadow-shroom’s cat flap hat & Torchwood’s new pink party glasses

We will be smarter in 4 weeks but I haven't seen any deviation from the cycle so far.

@PowerToss  

Tried to reply your message but below is what I have got. 

Guess it will easier for me to post it here instead (once I have grouped them into 3 images)

I don't think it was in the cycle when I got it,  have they added it since? 

Below are the 'free' costumes given to me (over the two oldest profiles) either by completion of quests or piñata parties.

@eieio_31310 That must have took you ages to put together! Looking good 👒👓👠😀

@MortStella  Thanks. 

Most small images are from Wiki and for the missing ones, I copied them from @PowerToss's posts.

@eieio_31310 Thank you very much for your list of costumes! Really appreciate it!

@FantastiXxPVZ You probably didn't see my question since you would have to go back a few pages...so I'm posting it again. I just want to make sure that I can name you as reference before I make a post and ask Haem about the unused costumes on reddit.

@FantastiXxPVZ No offense but did you really get all the costumes in a legitimate way? Because some of the costumes you have, I have never seen anyone else use/have. This includes Twinsunflower's white lined sunglasses, Laserbean's tuxedo, Citron's propeller beanie, spikeweeds' costumes and many more. I know Alien Gurke has them but he also openly admitted that he used a modded store to get all the Premiums and level up his plant. I mean even ZombossLab and other dedicated players were skeptical about the costumes Alien Gurke has. Also, I feel like players who played since day 1 and only did not play for a handful of days a year (@MortStella) should at least have some of those "unused" costumes.

I apologize in advance for asking this question but you have to understand that I have doubts because of the reasons mentioned above.

No offense taken. I get seeing isn't always believing. In the past, I was sent a nasty message my scores were fake and no way I spend alot of money on this game. So, recently I have screenshots and record purchases and record gameplay. Part of why I recently decided to start a YouTube. However has changed in it's purpose, as I learned there really weren't many high level players.

I wish I had recordings from day 1, but I don't. Also, in the past costumes weren't as rare as they have slowly become, although some still were. If there weren't in the Store or Costume Store Tab (Doesn't exist anymore), they were in Party Pinata, Senor Pinata, Special Party Pinata (Valenbrainz, Time Twister, Lawn Of Doom Springening and et.), Limited Time Pinata Party (Heros Crossover, etc.), Mystery Box, Community Reward in Store or Premium Bundle Addition.

I know you are putting alot of time into this, but unfortunately, this game is old. Alot of resources or people that maintained good records or were YouTubers are just gone. It also doesn't help that alot of image hosts have shutdown. Alot of the resources we are left with are recent or just outdated.

I get it's frustrating that some are rare, but it's like Baseball Cards, not everyone gets the ones they want, but we know they exist.

There are Premium ones that haven't been released either and I'm just as frustrated. When they come out and are only available to those that own the Plants, what about those? What about ones from Special or Community events?

I've given the ones that have come from said earlier sources. The bigger question is when they'll return or if they even have any interest in making them available, because even if there were a record of every place they came from with time date stamp and video or screenshot, it would do no good if they have no plans of releasing them again.

@FantastiXxPVZ Thanks for the reply. I just wanted to make sure I can name us as legit source before I reach out to Haem.

There are other things that made me believe the costumes you have are not legit and a modded store was used. You started using the costumes when Zoybean came out. You didn't use any of those costumes before that (Coincidence? Maybe)....so I did the match:

On youtube I saw you had a M124 Zoybean Pod at the end of the tournament. We know that there was a glitch that let you reset the progress bar (source). You need 18,700 seeds to unlock and get ZB to M124. If you reset the progress after reaching 500 crowns you would have gotten the best ratio of seeds per games played. By playing to 500 crowns (100 games if you win all your matches) you would get 450 seed packets for Zoybean. This means you have to reset the progress 18,700/450 = 42 times. Thus, you need to play 4,200 matches to get your Zoybean to M124. You would end up with  ~21,000 crowns! 

According to the given source the bug was fixed within the first week of Zoybean's Season via a data push on the 3rd of May 2018. So you had 4 days to play 4,200 matches (21,000 crowns). Playing 4,200 matches in 4 days in turbo mode (1.5 min) even without sleep is just not possible (4*24*60 min = 5,670 min ....5,670 min/1.5 min = 3,840).

Unless I'm missing something here this is very odd to me.

I'm sorry if I did you wrong but people who admittedly modded their shop gave me the same answer when I asked them about their Mastery Zoybean: "Glitch during Zoybean Season".

I know your scores aren't fake/hacked but now I'm one of the people who accuses you of having modded the store 😜 It will definitely come out one day whether you did it or not and I will be sorry if I was wrong 😉

Hopefully we can still get along well with each other and you don't take my accusation too personally! 👍

@FantastiXxPVZ Do you by any chance remember when you got Shadow Pea's sunhat? Maybe in your purchase history? I think this would be the easiest to find someone use on youtube...since it apparently is the last one that got released.

One thing I noticed after @PowerToss said this is the fact that Xarxee credited this strategy. I thought he had quitted the game when seasons were introduced?

Your're right, I used to just enter the Arena and not change the clothes at all and just go with the default, or maybe very little, but when I decided I wanted to get more followers, then yes I started changing clothes or at least not just leave the default and researching ways to spruce things up. Now, I change the clothes everytime and don't even really notice I'm doing it sometimes.

About Zoybean, yes, I admit there is shade there and the math proves it. I also I know it was longer than 4 days, though. I wanted to see how high I could go and so, this is how I did it:

I used multiple devices left open and ran them with a generic strategy that I can run in Turbo with minimal interaction. Literally, setup the strategy, push turbo, push play, next device, collect the win, repeat over and over. Exploit a glitch to the fullest? Yes, definitely. Hack/Mod? no. I do not use multiple devices for Arena. Do I still use minimal interaction strategies in Turbo? Yes, especially, if I'm suppose to be working, lol.

So, you asking how others did it and exploiting the glitch was their answer, is most likely because I said it, but I didn't give details on how in GameFaq, but that Reddit post you linked, I did give details, however someone deleted my post.

You mention these Mods as if they are easy to do, but you play this long and put as much time as I have, I'm not taking the risk of something getting messed up or losing something.

No hard feelings for calling me out for exploiting, that's fine, but this was in game and you have used in game exploits, too.

Since you called me out on this exploit and I had to explain how this exploit was done, this message will most likely be moderated out, too.

Sorry, I look in Purchase History and it isn't at all helpful because most bundles in the last couple of years are named like PoTW Bundle Alternate A or Special Bundle V, with the exception of Sling Pea Bundle is one of the only ones where they labeled the Bundle with a plant name. Alot of the old ones also have a name of the plant name.
