So many wasted prize bulbs-up the limit please...

This is the third reason I only play BFN one day a week on Tuesdays.

I never understood why they won't raise the limit either.

I'm assuming it's because they don't want people finishing the next Prize Maps too early, and keep hoarding free bulbs?

They allow you to buy them, so they can make money. If you purchase them, you'll have well over the 50 bulb limit. They're just limiting the amount of free bulbs towards each prize map.

And there's no way to convert them to Rainbow Stars, and they most likely won't add this option, probably due to the fact that Bulbs are easily obtainable, and it would be like handing out free money.

I agree with raising the Bulb Limit though.

I have no proof for this (and it's a stupid reason) but perhaps it's tied to having a limit to 50 Rainbow Star in GW2. At least the Rainbow Stars had a reason to be capped (aside from unlocking Torchy and HG), but there should be an upped limit on the Prize Bulbs, maybe 75-100. It's super annoying constantly shifting back and forth between the two, and it's especially bad thinking you're earning some, but you're really not.

Don't worry. If they keep amping the number of prize bulbs needed for each map like February it will become really hard to have too many excess bulbs at some point. Problem solved.

If players keep complaining that they keep losing bulbs because of hitting the prize bulb limit, it means that players are actually completing prize maps. Increasing the amount of prize bulbs people need to finish the prize map is an astonishing idea, because people are going to need more prize bulbs to grind, therefore are less likely to reach the maximum limit, or if reaching the limit, it will take them longer! So, I don't think they need to increase the maximum limit, just increase the amount of prize bulbs you need in the festivals!

@TheSprinter85But on the other hand it means that those who don't complain since they've never hit maximum Bulbs but had a hard time to finish the Prize Maps now will miss something of every months fresh cosmetics which can't be purchased after the event is finished.
I would have prefered to do nothing if I were PopCap over increasing the amount of Bulbs needed.

Somehow it turns in a circle. A few weeks ago the XP was reduced from 15,000 to 5,000 for a bulb ... now more bulbs for the price Map ... is like increasing the XP per bulb but leaving the price card like this ... 🙂

At this point, since raising the amount of bulbs for legendaries, and to complete the prize map, they should lower the XP bar again to compensate.

I believe someone said it now takes 204 Bulbs, compared to 184 bulbs in the previous maps.

I guess they're trying to get more people to buy the Prize Bulbs through the Prize Map...

@ippig  The players that have more trouble obtaining prize bulbs should be compensated for then - one thing the developers could try is lowering the amount of XP again for each prize bulb, as well as lowering the cost of completing a prize map, but reduce the maximum amount of bulbs you can hold at once if so. 🤔

Exactly!!! It’s a waste of bulbs otherwise.  GW2 had 200 gold stars as a limit. Something like that is better. Then you’re ready for the next prize map and don’t have to waste upgrades into “experience” and could use it on something beneficial in game play.
