Re: SOMETHING ODD.

So I did the math about the Mastery Zoybean Pod. It took 33,000 seed packets to unlock and level up Zoybean Pod to M200. We all know that there was a bug that let you reset the progress and you could play through the rewards over and over again (source). If you are clever you would have done this reset after reaching 500 crowns since that gives you 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 33,000/450 = 74 times. Thus, you need to play 7,400 matches to get your Zoybean to M200. You would end up with 37,000 crowns in one Season! Let's assume this bug was fixed after Zoybean's Season. Zoybean's season had 5 tournaments (two short ones and three 1-week tournaments). In order to reach 37,000 crowns in this season you would have to end up with 7,400 crowns each tournament. This is possible but it is at least very unhealthy. The highest I have ever seen someone have in my group was ~3,000 crowns in a 1-week tournament.

The thing is that 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. Playing 7,400 matches is just not possible within a week: 7*24*60 = 10,080 min. Not sleeping for a week and playing all your matches in turbo mode would just allow you to play 10,080 min / 1.5 min = 6,720 matches.

In conclusion, unless I'm missing something here, having a M200 Zoybean Pod is something odd to me.

@PowerToss   I think using an hex editor would take less than 2 minutes.  (of course one needs to know where to change in the data file)

Another possibility is to use a modded shop. This also allowed you to get and use all the unused costumes when Zoybean Season started. A modded shop is also a good idea since all you need to do is replace the pp.dat again and your store is back to normal. I'm calling HAX!

@PowerTossI guess u have not accounted for the fact that Zoybean Pod was sold for gems and there used to be a 30 seed reward in the 7th streak.

You are correct, I have not accounted that but my post was specifically addressed to players who managed to get their Zoybean Pod to ~M100 during the Zoybean's Season 😉 

So today I played my Pinata Party,  it was day 5 so I got my 4k then watched the advert so I could do the replay.  When the ad finished the replay started for a brief second then another pop up box appeared asking me to watch an ad so I could do the replay again!  So I sat through another ad and then the whole thing froze. I had no choice in the end but to shut the game down.  And guess what when I rebooted I'd lost my chance to do the replay and just got to look at the Pinata Party countdown timer.  Did this happen to anybody else today?  I'm a little bit miffed!! 😭

@MortStella 

Today when i tried to play ANY ad the button would freeze even if i did a soft reset and i restarted my phone which cured my problem.

You could always do a missing content report to the EAvil ones.

Mua ha ha ha.

@Perfume-shroom92 

Ouch I've never had it that bad!  I think that would have made me swear a lot!  🤐

@MAGICDAVESHROOM 

I could but based on their previous efforts at 'helping' me I'd rather not as I'd like to keep my game in tact!!

It is rare but it does happen to me as well, to be fair though this time I do not think it is EA's fault for a change but the ads provider, somehow it does make one suspicious whether this was done on purpose on forcing players to watch ads twice with no rewards. 

The only part that is good  (me think) is it let me practice my vocabulary on censored words....   @@~%$£#8>&"|~    👿

Just like @MortStella  said. something really fishy is going on with the ads servers these days. I kept on getting the same ads all over and over again,not sure if that is kind of algorithm ,but it really made my hair blow to sit a 45second ad.. and the screen freezes up !😬

this one seems really really really ODD...

Yes very odd indeed.  Either it has been a poor hack or someone just likes Threepeater a lot. 👿

@Perfume-shroom92   Yes but not often to this kind of contrast.  Mastery vs very low level.

no SUN production ?  very fishy to still achieve 2M

hmm I thought Haem did once confirm there were not bots using Mastery, maybe something has changed or the bot has became self-aware and decided to level up the plants.

scary thought, an AI EA_Bot !!

not gonna happen as AI and EA together is an oxy...

Hmmmm...

I've just looked at the news and updates attached to the game and this is what i found.

@Perfume-shroom92 

Look at the date, little shroom.
