Re: [Old Reports] New Residents at Bases

@ToastedSarnieNope they don't have any audio files so far, just like the other "talking" characters at the bases. As far as I know, none of the PvZ characters use human language audio files, but it's a pretty big franchise and I haven't played it all.

As @TheSprinter85 said the zombie one does talk about a secret plant base, but that could just mean the current plant base because zombies can't find it?

I was just curious what people thought. It was subtle new addition that looks like it could be an indicator for something fun. Maybe we can start bringing a boss in Giddy Park on certain occasions. Or maybe they are going to move over to a door and blow it open (like @MrKritiek mentioned), both of those character types have sort of explosive possibilities. Or maybe they are just new interactive decorative features. It's something to keep an eye on for the future

  • @TLEsquire I just wondered about audio as the others do make a little bit of noise to start with - not proper speech, but say a little growl from Chomper, or squeaky bit from Acorn 😂
    Yes, something to watch out for - I like the thought about blowing open a new area.
    I hope they do indicate something new coming, anyway - them just being decorations would be a bit disappointing!!!

    @ToastedSarnieI had the sound so low last night I might have even missed if they made the normal sort of sounds, so now I will have to check that when I get back in because I want to know lol

    It would be a little disappointing at this point if they are just decorations but that's mostly because they sparked my imagination and made me think of neat things they could do. I just like seeing new stuff added even when it doesn't "do" much of anything. I love seeing the park changes they come up with seasonally too. It's a rich environment and it's got a lot of potential to add all kinds of fun things. We (forum members) throw ideas out there all the time. Maybe some will be collected and considered even if they aren't currently being planned?

    Edit - typo. Why are d and s so close to each other on the keyboard anyway?!

    I saw these guys the first day they showed up when I was in the Zombie base and the first thing that Gil said to me involved a "secret plant base" so I immediately thought it might be something new to go searching for so I swapped over the Plants to see if I could find out more but old Dil just made bad puns and when I revisited Gil he did the same so I ultimately dismissed his talk of a "secret base" as gossip and random conversational because it would be appropriate for him to be spreading such due to his name.

    It does seem odd for such prominent figures to be there just as decoration but there's the Chomper and Corn and All-Star standing around as well with just random bits of conversation so I'm trying not to read too much into them at the moment.

    The glowing door in the zombie base is a bit exciting though.... can they be connected? What will it reveal? Is it the new magical character?
    Or is it something we have no idea about yet?
    Lots of things and stuff to ponder while we do the long wait 😃

  • @asabaida I haven't noticed a glowing door, but I haven't really explored either base since Founders edition, but I did make note of the different closed doors since GW2 taught me that they aren't usually added just for show.

    I'll have to explore both bases again to see this for myself.
  • All I know is I can't wait for march! Maybe the glowing door is something similar to the trials of gnomus- you have to complete whats inside to unlock the wizar- oop! My bad, the "magical new character" XD

  • Gossimp Gil also talks about how they “modify their jeans”, which most likely means how they adjust their genes in order to make themselves into weaponry. That dialogue, and the two emotes where Corn juggles his cobs and Citron falls apart really makes me question the anatomy of the Plants.

    Regarding the new zombie and plant characters at the bases, as mentioned, I can pretty much confirm that there will be secret zombie and plant bases in the future (the new characters somewhat hint this):

    This video from ZEROxFUSIONZ is where I got this information from, for people who are interested:

    🤞 That this is true!

    @TheSprinter85 He is just speculating and doesn't know either. But it's pretty obvious that there is something to come though. I'm looking forward to it.

    @ippig  In that case, agreed! 👍 The new residents at the bases somewhat indicate this potential upcoming feature as well (Gossimp Gill mentioned something along the lines of "Secret plant base"), but it's 100% possible that it's simply a speculation! Hopefully something will happen with these "possible new areas" and will be revealed sooner rather than later (livestream?🙂)

    I'm definitely interested to see what the plan is for these NPCs and beyond. Besides the upcoming new Zombie character (and hopefully not soon after, a new Plant character), and the new TT map, there's a lot of stuff I want to see added/improved and Giddy Park needs more life!

    @Iron_Guard8  Well, there's nothing much that we can do but watch the livestream and see what they have in store for us next month! They may show us more future upcoming content as well! Fingers crossed for that! 🤞

    I guess we have our answer. Not quite what anyone was hoping for but it looks like a nice new map. Thanks everyone for indulging in a little speculation 😁
