We've talked about him before and after next month's prize map he'll be selling that corn upgrade, but I wanted to focus on what Rux has been selling up to now. At first we discussed FOMO (fear of m...
@Iron_Guard8 Agreed! The whole reward system isn't well designed at all. Why did PopCap invent the Reward-O-Tron when it was pretty clear they would add Rux's shop as well? It was obvious for them not add anymore items to the machine. The cosmetics you could get out of the Reward-O-Tron are similar to those which can be obtained at Rux's shop. Why on earth did they do it? It's like they couldn't decide whether they should monetize the cosmetics or not. Now there is a useless machine in the middle of each base and a Rux's shop full of goodies which can't be bought with coins. The better tactics would have been to avoid the whole machine thing and just to add Rux with the option to buy an item with Rainbow Stars OR coins OR Tacos OR Sheriff Badges OR Marshmallows OR a combination of different currencies like 300 Rainbow Stars + 150.000 coins for one Legendary Skin for instance.

This.... oh so this.... it just doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever... it just irritates the life out of me and I'm sure many other folks.
Rant ahead alert: This is the only game I play and I guess I play a lot compared to some other folk, you would think that would benefit me (time put in) but no, in actual fact you are "punished" once you get the prize map completed and saved your 50 bulbs for the next month as any rewards you can get (coins, tacos etc) are absolutely useless with this system... not to mention the amount of bulbs that they cheerfully announce every time for the rest of the month (couple of weeks at least) even though you will never see them... they essentially rub in your face every bulb that you lose. And sometimes 2 of the character challenge bulbs are also lost for the month. So irritating and hardly motivating to play the game. Today there is a new thing to taunt me....
so... suddenly I noticed I had 51 bulbs instead of 50.... for a very brief second I wondered if they had changed it so that daily challenges, character challenges added to your max total bulbs. Which in my opinion should be the case, at least it would give those that are finished the map something to do and be worth doing. But no, of course they didn't, the extra bulb came and went all day... taunting me along with the rest of xp announcement bulbs 😃
So, yes what @ippig said... the currency system absolutely sux and makes absolutely no sense.
Note: I have avoided saying much all day to avoid ranting.... so that was a total fail then 😃 ☹️🤨🤒😮😃
@ToastedSarnie Which bulb thing the 51 thing? just today but it doesn't matter, its not important not even worth reporting... I only mentioned it because... well I was having the wee rant thingy about getting taunted by bulbs I earned but would never be rewarded lol 😃
And also meant to add.... you know what Id like.... I would like to be able to give my "earned but never to be rewarded bulbs" to folk who didn't have the time that month to complete the map... like a gifting system. I think that would be a lovely addition to the game and would promote a positive community thing ❤️
Sidenote: I said hello to someone today in Ops and they did "the brown emote", I responded by doing a crying face and they then said sorry 😃 hahahaa
Hahahaha Ive not had 52 yet.... you are luckier than me 😃 it gives it, takes it away repeatedly... strange bug indeed 🤔
