Re: should i upgrade my fila-mint?

I think putting them off the board is an excellent idea, or putting an extra slot with a choice of power mint so they become as compulsory as plant of the week.
I think EA have got their business model wrong with pvz2 and one day are going to get sued in a class action by thousands of angry parents whose kids have run up massive bills buying plants,gems,gauntlets you name it and its for sale in the store.
America isTHE most litigious nation on the planet and one day they may have to flee their secret hideout at the north pole and go back to uranus.
I would have happily PAID £30-£35 for pvz2 once i tried the demo and liked it so far i think EA have got about £25 towards their ferrari fleet out of me.
I swore when i started this i wouldn't be buying gems to buy gauntlets but i have twice.
If they moved the decimal point one space to the left everyone would be a lot happier and ALL premium plants paid for with gems (except the people who already spent a lot of money on this game).
Don't forget EVERYTHING in the store is virtual and doesn't have to be manufactured or packaged or grown.
Yes developers have to be paid and I'm very happy for them to make a profit so they can pay their fair share of taxes to keep the usa solvent and in the black.
I paid for the first pvz (not much as it was quite old by the time i discovered it) and still play it today (KUDOSfor whoever came up with the it's raining seeds concept).

    Totally agree with you two.
    So far Fila-mint is more a gimmick plant that just waste time and slot, especially in Battlez.
    The idea of having just one extra slot for power mint could be really interesting. Then you would have to adapt your stategy, is it more interesting that I play Fila-mint, Reinforcement-mint, whatever new mint, etc ? It would add a layer on your strategy and make power-mint interesting to play.

    And yes the business model is so wrong. Some levels can't even be finished just with only normal plants and without power boost (spent sooo many coins in Wild West - Day 35 due to thoses f... chickens ! >_<).
    And 5.49€ for each premium plant, so more than 100€/£/$ to get all prem plant ? Seriously ? 
    But I guess they won't change it, we have to deal with it

    Adding an extra slot was an off the top of my head idea but i think it's well worth considering as players could make an offensive OR defensive choice depending on what varieties of mintz EA can come up with.
    Perhaps EA could employ me as mint development officer?
    It's a long commute to EA'S evil empire hq at the north pole.
    Not the most mintal idea I've heard.
    I might consider it provided i get a half a Ferrari (motorcycle) and a cool uniform to impress the chicks and of course lots of gemz and coinz.
    I've got stuck on that wild west boss and have blown a small fortune in coinz just to half kill dr. Zomboss but i think the way to go is to upgrade the plantz in the zen garden then try it.
    I haven't even finished adventure mode and i probably won't because the constant grinding and farming for coins and pinatas has taken ALL the fun out of it so now it's a chore.

    True, fila-mints would be an offensive choice, reinforcement a defensive (duh!) one but also a mix of offensive/defensive if you are using pea-nuts, etc.

    Plus, mints are supposed to be a reward for players that fight hard in Battlez, something that makes higher league more competitive (I don't see how it could be interesting to spend a lot in gems for gauntlets to get to the top positions every week if at the end of the week you used more gems than you won with rewards + daily ads/quests).

    So what is the point to get a reward which is, so far, kinda useless for Adventure mode and totally useless for Battlez mode ?

    Yes some level are really difficult and are no fun at all. Especially the ones with thoses sneaky and annoying chickens or weasels. Or the ones where you have to defend some plants and a random parrot steal it out of nowhere. It should be call Plant vs Animals and Zombies at some point x)
    For Western Zomboss, use power snow to directly damage Zomboss, while using your plants, it will help.

    If you wanna finish Adventure mode I would suggest Larry Tseng or Plant vs. Zombie Gameplay Youtube channels. They are doing good walkthroughs with lvl 1 plants, no prem, etc. But even with thoses, it is sometimes really tricky to finish some levels if you are not doing it at the exact same time or if zombies are coming from another spot, etc

    I hate those chicken
    I hate those weasels
    This is why lightning reed is so useful yet nobody except me seems to like him.
    Show him some love.
    ok i admit i only use him in adventure mode, usually on the back row where he can zap chickenz 🐔 but he also zaps miners and those annoying flying zombies.
