Re: NEW PLANTS MINI FORUM🍄🥦🌽🍇

Gloomvine and Draftodil are in the almanac.

Which will make @Perfume-shroom92 happy.

Been playing with it and it seems like nothing is even planted 😔 Definitely not as OP as the other Vines.

No, if it were level 10, the Mints would be maxed with a yellow bar.

I have to agree, apart from allowing attacking shadow plants to be used without moon flower, it seems like £20 wasted. I am hoping it becomes more useful once it is levelled up.  

I used up the Hocus Crocus Pinata, but after the Data Push, I see:

@FantastiXxPVZ 

What level is your hocus crocus now?

@FantastiXxPVZ  Now I think there will be quite a few players would like this kind of data push when Imp Pear or Pokra seeds are on offer.  Thanks for the heads up @FantastiXxPVZ.  Will try to get a few more levels for both plants tonight.

For me the gem cost have not been reset with the data push (iOS). This either only happened to Android user or it just happend if you used up all 80 purchases :/

I just checked the partially used ones at lower levels and they were not reset. Apparently, it's only if it was used up before the push.

I disagree with @FantastiXxPVZ and @eieio_31310 , i didn't read the wiki and once i realised it can be used as a VINE, it will go on any plant and i zipped through the 50 seed quest with my level 1 profile

I haven't read the stats so i don't know how much damage it does but as a close range damage dealing shield with the ability to boost one shadow plant it could be very useful, i doubt it will ever become an arena favourite though.

@MAGICDAVESHROOM   It was a vine by design, it is a vine when made available and it will be used as a vine by all players.  

What I (and @FantastiXxPVZ as well) seeing it as not as over powered as the previous vines, my favour are still Explode-o-Vine and Shine Vine as they get used the most.

Edit.  I think I was spoiled by how powerful gloom-shroom was in the original PVZ and set my expectation too high.  👿

I know every plant has it's time to shine and I can see being able to power Dusklobber without Moonflower will be a great benefit albeit very situational. I was just hoping the damage would be on par with Pyre Vine and Blastberry Vine, since it has no cool features like Explode-o-vine (Blover capeable knockback and high damage) or Shine-vine's starting burst and Sun poison. I wish the area of effect were larger or the damage was higher since it's damage reaches only one tile away.

@FantastiXxPVZI compare the damage of gloom vine and blastberry. At least from my almanac, the starting damage of gloom vine is 45 and my level 5 blastberry vine's damage is 45.....so I think it should be stronger than blastberry vine....

Yeah, I have it at Level 2 from the Bundle and the 50 Seed Quest, so hopefully the damage ramps up alot with levels.

@MAGICDAVESHROOM What's your PvZ2 version? (Settings --> Build Version). There has been a small update yesterday. I'm just wondering if you already have the latest update. No worries, there is almost no difference between 8.7.2 and 8.7.3 but this would be a good time to check whether you really turned off the auto-update function for PvZ2.

@PowerToss  I just had another update a few minutes ago after an arena match.

@MAGICDAVESHROOM The "update" you got after an arena match is just a normal data push. This means that now seeds have changed in Pinata Parties and Arena (Imp Pear).

However, that you already have v8.7.3 means that your app updated automatically. If you don't want that you should check your settings again =P

@PowerToss  I don't really mind pvz2 updating, it's more the case that i don't want sneaky programmers slipping in something that i don't want.

The data push has cured the zombie gap and I'm now scoring around 5m more than i was.

@MAGICDAVESHROOM Ah ok. I thought you didn't want that PvZ2 gets updated automatically. Sometimes it can be useful to delay an update and do it manually 😉

😉 

Very nice.  So what is your view of the level 7 Gloom Vine?
