Plants´ Randoms: Clash Of Clans progress! (+updates on delayed posts)

Sup!
Guess what... Im pretty much done with Tests and Exams! Tomorrow im having my last one, which is fucking awesome. All this means that i can start to post daily again.
Now before i talk to you all about the COC stuff, i´d like to talk about delayed posts.

All of the posts ive missed these last few days, including the Mission Videos, are coming within these days. Im gonna start from tomorrow and work my way up till Saturday or Sunday, when all posts that were late are now back, and we can continue with the schedule.

Now for other stuff: Tomorrow im pretty much done with school (next week will be fun-filled and graduation practice), so now i can post much more timely and daily, which is great. Im planning a Top 10 list soon, and also more Plants´ Randoms (which by the name, its just random stuff that i find funny or interesting).
I was planning a Summer event, but since FusionFall Retro STILL isnt out, ill have to delay it. Maybe to next year? Who knows to be honest, but if it comes out during the summer i might do it.

For fun however, ill give you all some details: Do an activity everyday, and just have fun.
Because the Future isnt out yet, im delaying the event until a little later after the Future is released (maybe a Winter event?)

Ill talk about these and more in the Summer update post, which should be next week.

Ok, time for the COC stuff!
Heres my TH8 a week before the big TH12 update. Walls were still 250,000 each, upgrades were twice as fast. Gawd i loved it.

Also daily cost reduction events! Supercell was going full on with people upgrading and catching up to TH11, so they can then upgrade to 12. Thanks to the event i was able to upgrade all the new buildings extremely quickly, alongside other major upgrades, like some Cannons and others. I do hope one day they do a Lab event, where Lab upgrade times are cut in half. Now THAT would be an event.

So then the update hit, and well... Here it is.

Quite a difference huh? I LOVE THE NEW WALL COSTS. 100,000 for Lvl 7, and 500,000 instead of 1 mil for Lvl 8? Now thats great. Thanks to the Clan Games, i picked up a Book of Fighting to instantly get Lvl 3 Dragons, and with the lower costs for Troops ATM, it helps greatly for farming and pushing trophies.

From here on, im starting to upgrade the Archer Towers, then going back to cannons, and so till everything is maxed. Pretty simple. Takes alot of time, but its simple.

Anyways, see you all tomorrow!

FusionFall Videos: Numbuh 2 Nano

Time for the Numbuh 2 Nano! What power did you choose when you got him? I actually chose Bonus... Yeah. For Retro ill choose Run, as it should be.

Quick Update #1: Mission Videos, Random Posts, other stuff.

Hey guys! Quick update for June!
To begin, im going to remake the old Retro Mission Videos. Different Music, effects etc. Should be good.
Take a look at the old versions

Yeah... Will add new effects, and other stuff to make them a bit better. Should be cool!

Tomorrow im planning on doing a post for the COC fans. Ive done quite a bit of progress and just for fun ill share it with you all.

Finally, this next week ill have my finals! They wont be hard, and wont require much study (and by much i mean NOT THE ENTIRE GODDAMN SCHOOL YEAR). The next week after that one, im free for Summer Break, so expect an Update post about my Summer Plans.

Have a nice weekend yall!

Item Showcase: Jetray Mask

"You won't get Neuroshock Blast power from this mask, but you will look extremely cool."
I honestly have no clue what a Neuroshock Blast is, but i just know that this will protect you from it.

This mask is mainly used and obtained by newer players of the game, which makes sense cuz its a Level 1 item. Not only can you get it from a Mission, but also from killing monsters! Its basically the 1st item everyone will get, since you get it from one of the 1st missions: Spawn Spree! How cool is that?

Now as to why its Jetray and not, idk... Swampfire? Guess Jetray was more popular back then. Either that or im missing something here.

Did you Know? The word HELL in FusionFall?!

The devs managed to sneak in the the word Hell into FusionFall, and thru a very clever way.

2 of Dexters Guide missions, called "Love and Hades" and "What the Hades" have the word Hades in them, which means Hell!

The 1st mission name could be based on the phrase "Love and War", only with the word Hades in it, which makes it mean "Love and Hell", but i doubt that wasnt intentional.

The other one has a bigger and simpler meaning. Its called "What the Hades" which can be seen as "What the hell", a common interpretation for an insane reaction or as a way to show confusion.

Pretty fun huh? Most people dont really look into the Missions´ names and backstory, but theres more lore and story if you look into them!

FusionFall Videos: How to get... Everywhere!

Legomegazord made 2 videos showing how you can register every single S.C.A.M.P.E.R and Monkey Skyway Agent... AT LEVEL 4. Check out how he did it, and try to replicate it in Retro!

FusionFall Retro: Character Select Menu in the Tutorial Sneak Peek?

Turns out it is there! Simply create a Character and when you get to the Character Creation area, click Exit and voila! Your Character wont have the clothing you selected, and creating another Character changes the name of the old one to that of the new one.

Alongside all that, you cant create more characters. They all replace the 1st one, and attempting to delete a Character simply gives you a soft-lock, forcing you to close the game via the X on the screen (Similar to how you would exit after playing the entire Tutorial).

Heres a video of it

Im gonna dive deeper into it to see if i can find more hidden stuff like this in the Sneak Peek. Wish me luck!

The ULTIMATE Beginners Guide to FusionFall Retro: Everything you should know!

So... You are new to FusionFall in 2018, and you need to get backed up with everything you need to know? Well im here to tell you everything you should know about FusionFall Retro! From gameplay, to release, to even the smallest details, i will guide you thru all about Retro so you can understand it better.

What is FusionFall Retro?
FusionFall Retro is the original game we all knew and loved, and uses the 2010 version before the Birthday Bash event. It features The Future and all original 36 Nanos, alongside other stuff that wasnt in the original. Its basically the Original FusionFall, but enhanced, with new servers, a custom Unity engine, and more!

When/Where can i play it?
As of 02/06/2018, you can only download and play a Sneak Peek of the Tutorial. Once you finish the Tutorial, the screen fades to black and the game just ends... FOR NOW.

Ok so... When is it releasing then?
See thats the hard one. As of now the plan is to release the entire Future zone, all the way to Level 4, with all 4 original starter nanos. After that and some gameplay additions, then the Past will be released, with all of the rest of the game. As for an exact release date, its currently unknown, but you will see it in 2018, with the Past probably coming around 2019.

Ive seen the various posts and devblogs talking about some problems regarding release... What are those problems?
Theres quite a few, but the 2 major ones are the Database Issues of 2017, and the Monster Spawn Glitch.
The team originally intended the Future and its 1st 4 levels to be out by August 2017, but problems came out with the Database, which stores all player data, which meant that: When the player exited the game, its progress would be deleted. This was, of course, really bad, so the team only released the Tutorial.
The other one is a Glitch, where monsters would get stuck in the world, and when killed would not respawn back, which meant that just in the 1st few hours, all monsters would be gone. The game was then delayed again due to the bug, which as of now is fixed.

Ive heard of a Sneak Peek/Test Weekend... Whats that, and when is it coming out?
The team will release the Future zone and let players come and test the game, finding any leftover bugs along the way. As for when its happening its currently unknown, but probably around the Summer or Autumn, and of course its happening during a Weekend.

Will the game have as many hackers and cheaters as it did before?
No. The game will be heavily monitored by CT (Community Team) and will punish accordingly.

How will i access the game?
You will access it by downloading the launcher, which you will later need to access FusionFall Legacy. The game wont be played thru a Browser, but instead thru a Separate screen.
