RUX redux - OK, I'll say it
The new Rux locations look TERRIBLE. I can't believe I have to have that thing facing me every time I log in now. It is completely out of place in both the plant and zombie base themes. There is l...

Now that I've lived with it through a short night of playing, I can say I absolutely hate it. I can't see what they were possibly thinking.
It's ugly. Super ugly. That's why it was tucked down in the sewers.
It's noisy. Even if you shoot the boombox, you still have to listen to Rux grunting the whole time you're at the multiplayer portal.
And now I come to my biggest complaint. Of ALL places, why was it put where the globe used to be?? The globe's proximity to the multiplayer portal was no accident! Now you have to walk what is a ridiculous distance between them, even though they are two critical interfaces that almost all players use in tandem.
I can totally get why there was an idea to move Rux closer, though frankly I never found it a particular hardship to amble dpwn to the sewers twice a week. But what has been done looks to me as if someone decided they should move Las Vegas right in the middle of Zion National Park so that one needn't drive all that way.
Yep yep and more yeps....
Messing around this morning I too hate it... it is , as you say, ugly.
And yeah you can shoot his boombox but you can still hear him grunting away (although I did giggle when I read you saying that)...
it is however totally correct... and irritating.
It doesn't of course affect you when playing games but you are faced with it all the time while in backyard...
its bloody awful.
Thing is about this game and life for me... its a lot about the aesthetics... I like things to be nice to look at.... appreciate good views etc.
The details in this game are awesome and I love the cartoony style...
its one of the reasons this is the only game I play and the only game Ive ever played for more than a very short time.
Now they have made my backyard all ugly and messy and I'm not pleased 😞
Anyway, yep I agree and am confused about why these decisions where made when there is clearly many better locations available.
I am reading also that there are other issues with superbrainz air punches missing for cozmic and breakfast...
I have little interest in them although Toxic is a wee bit fun but I rarely use him.... so for me not a huge issue but for those who enjoy playing them it must be hugely frustrating and annoying.
And other bugs and whatnot having appeared blah blah blah... Popcap hasn't really pulled it out the bag this time I'm afraid... all a bit of an anticlimax.
I'm usually a big fan of updates nobody asked for but that music is irritating. If they were going to move Rux into my backyard then at least they could have him offer the remaining stickers you don't have. Maybe they will add an option to buy higher player volume from Rux so I can play anything other then Turf on NA servers. Collapse the game types already and soccer kick Rux back to the sewers.
- Hahahaha.... :D
Aye... kick him back to the sewers and put the globe back.
For a moment I thought you were going to say "If they were going to move Rux into my backyard then at least they could have... asked me"
But yes decent stickers for those that need them...I can't argue with that at all. Honestly travelling to the sewers wasn't a big deal and the target range quests are pretty common so going down there was a common occurrence.
The Rux music assaulting you as you log in to your base is annoying too. I don't mind his music when I go visit him but it's a bit annoying to hear all the time at the bases now.
Also there's a bug where you buy stuff from him, it shows up as still available at the other base but if you try to buy it it says it can't complete the transaction but they never say sold (barring the dark garlic drone which I had prior, he had consumables for sale in the other slots).
Also also, the music in the customization booth is absent now.
I honestly thought they were moving him to the town hall at first so he's right there by the seagull and the portal. Please put him back in the sewer or move him to the town hall or something.
I only tried the regular Super Brainz and I was able to punch in midair with him. I had quests to do on other characters and Star Control: Origins launched so I got my quests done and played that game instead of testing much out here, but the Rux location change is not an improvement in the current setup.
Edit: I watched Wolfy's video on this and indeed neither Breakfast Brainz or Cozmic can punch mid-leap and if anyone needs it, it's Cozmic Brainz! I posted about it in the bugs forum.
