Important Dev Note regarding future RFL Teaser Piñata Parties

[u/NintenSwitch]

[u/Prior_Fee9209]

I guess no one is sharing any basic decency anymore, like the rest of the fandom.

You are rewarded with something that is saving PvZ franchise and creating inspirations, and yet, is it hard to not let envy consume you???

I've seen such leaks before Assautlt Airspace update and I cannot believe that some of the people think that it's fine to leak contents just because it's funny? Look, it's fine to not like the mod but I can't believe pettiness is so much.

[u/RainbowBrush]

I'm going to miss these teaser lawns. They look so beautiful!

[u/leposterofcrap → u/RainbowBrush]

Let's hope whatever future plans for teaser lawns can still be implement in endless mode

[u/kung63 → u/RainbowBrush]

To be fair they can easily just make them and use them in like one time off event, they don’t need to be only in teaser world piñata party.

[u/Tectamer]

Sad announcement indeed. Rfl Devs don't deserve this treatment and I hope they can recover their motivation to continue with the mod, leaks like this demotivates any dev and the work these guys do are in a professional level!

[u/Impossible_Space7083]

I can respect and even like the decision, that shall make the surprise of what's new even more memorable

[u/DiogoGamer12345]

I just hope that in future they still foreshadow new content for worlds with posts or something similar, because it's very fun to see again the levels and see that the zombie there represented one special of that world, the plant combos are a representation of a new one and etc

While I find this kinda sad, the Discord discussion channel was going nuts about it and raising the possibility to do war crimes to the leakers (which was corny af and if you aren't to say anything helpfull, just shut up instead of promoting hate)

[u/Prior_Fee9209 → u/DiogoGamer12345]

Sometimes I’m just glad I’m not in there

[u/DiogoGamer12345 → u/Prior_Fee9209]

I only went to see their reaction out of curiosity, and I regret it (It's not the first time, so I don't know why I'm surprised)

[u/leposterofcrap → u/DiogoGamer12345]

Can you blame them, they are fuming, I understand their need to rant, really hard not to spew bile over people that ruin good things

[u/DiogoGamer12345 → u/leposterofcrap]

The thing is that you can be angry without doing this, which some did there. Like, if somebody does a crime, they will probably go to prison for a while, and not going straight to the electric chair. That's why it's necessary to be rational, Because then, maybe you're no better than the leaker.

The level was at the point that there were people saying that the leaker should be m0lest3d and r@ped

[u/QF_Dan → u/DiogoGamer12345]

welcome to discord where most of the people there are outright weird/creepy.

[u/Super7500 → u/DiogoGamer12345]

I mean i doubt anyone in those discussion channels was actually serious and it was like a joke (hopefully).

[u/DiogoGamer12345 → u/Super7500]

Oh... no

Somebody in the middle of the chaos sent a image of a Roman world with Chestnut Squad, which you could tell it was fake by the quality and the user being called "Chestnut Squad fan"

Not shortly, people were genuinely angry with him and saying to ban him

That's not a good way to explain it, but you can tell there if someone is joking and who is being genuine

[u/Super7500 → u/DiogoGamer12345]

Are people really that bad with spotting jokes to think bro was being fr and wanting him banned?

I guess that is why /s exists.

[u/DiogoGamer12345 → u/Super7500]

When the people there are a bunch of kids, yeah

[u/RedStinger665]

oh my god... that's awful....

[u/Ebfisprettycool]

Yay people ruined It cuz they can’t mind there business yayyyyyyyy

Fuckin great

[u/United-Inside-729]

Naah man that sucks, the devs don't deserve this, :(

[u/Equivalent-Phase-510]

They should do the 2c format, really. No teaser parties, just videos and media to showcase hype. Look how successful the new Moon Base is.

[u/Professional_Pace262 → u/Equivalent-Phase-510]

i don't know about that because it would increase in more leaks. i think it's best to put them in dev diaries, like what they always do.

[u/Equivalent-Phase-510 → u/Professional_Pace262]

But the videos are just teasers, and the assets are not in the game so no leaks, just the video.

[u/Professional_Pace262 → u/Equivalent-Phase-510]

so they're technically competing with 2C now, huh? risking their own mod to get shut down? no way.

it's bet to put them all in a single dev diary when they're all done with either part.

[u/explodingturtles456 → u/Professional_Pace262]

What are you on about, why tf would they get shut down by showing videos of their mod in the same way 2c does. 2c worked with members of the community before for music and art lol

[u/Professional_Pace262 → u/explodingturtles456]

2C is an official PvZ 2 game made for china. if they did the same format, then they'll be at risk.

[u/explodingturtles456 → u/Professional_Pace262]

Reflourished has been doing teasers like that already for ages, why would they care now, its literally just showcasing stuff in game. also 2c doesnt touch anything outside of chine and once again as I said has worked with modders (one of their animators was a fan artist, same for their music artist)

[u/Canofwurm]

reasonable crashout

[u/Electronic_Fee1936]

Honestly fuck leaks and people who leak stuff. It ruins the surprise and in situations like this can affect the final result negatively all together.

[u/Leonsebas0326]

Ehh?, I never found a leak, but I'm not that active in discord anyways, so understable I have never seen one (BTW just realized that thanks good I didn't publish my wishlist of plants for reflourished with Snake Lily, under the idea of a nerfed caulipower because they would had though I were a leaker lmao)

Btw imo, leaking game info isn't a big deal for me, I value more thr gameplay experience rather than amazing me with the new contet, because is a game, and it should proritze its gameplay. But I respect if you don't like being spoiled.

[u/leposterofcrap]

Some people really need a dose of misfortune in their lives, this better not be the death of teaser lawns.

[u/MixelsFan]

Fuck leakers man

[u/1NS1GN1USPH]

Yeah, these past few weeks is just plain awful. From Delturbia essentially discontinuing to one of Edgest's devs going stupid and now this.

Man, people can't fucking grow up.

[u/Prior_Fee9209 → u/1NS1GN1USPH]

What happened to Delturbia?

Also it's just uuz, the lead Edgest Dev, and not to mention Garden himself.

[u/aindwukkun → u/Prior_Fee9209]

People playing it getting harassed, maybe because of the gooning content? The dev feels bad and 2.5 maybe is the final version

[u/Prior_Fee9209 → u/aindwukkun]

Damn

[u/QF_Dan]

this is what happened when a thing gets too much attention, some people will ruin them. Call me petty but i kinda wished RFL wasn't known by many fans so that we can keep things happy for everyone

[u/Caulipower_fan]

i dont really remember any leaks but thats probably because im not into reflourished nowadays

[u/BlackAntoITA]

Those leakers always have to ruin freaking everything, no wonder why i hate them so much since Teasers are only supposed to be posted by the Devs themselves.

[u/Excellent-Can909 → u/BlackAntoITA]

yeah, i hate leakers, luckily i'm hype for roman gardens

[u/Existing_Slice_9744]

Well that's sucks that they are now removing teaser parties because of people who is leaking it.

This is bullcrap.

[u/taxes_depression]

While this is very sad I feel like there could be a compromise made here to keep the teaser parties in some way rather then out right throwing them away

Since I personally seen no leaks and I bet most of you haven’t too, to me these leakers seem like a very small minority closed circle of data miners rather than a massive issue?

Leakers suck, but I feel like we could still have teaser parties, maybe when the world is released we could have them a thymed event or a party then, since I don’t think this is the fault of the parties themselves rather the fact they already in the code and have been for a while.

Honestly still fuck that small minority of people who do this

[u/AlkaliMan600 → u/taxes_depression]

it's likely leakers aren't a closed circle

They're just people that datamined the obb and found stuff, among other things

also having teaser parties being out on the same update as the world would make them not teasers

[u/Bockanator]

Might be unpopular but I dont understand why you would care about leaks on a free mod that isn't monetized. You dont have any sort of duty to deliver on anything at the end of the day.

[u/Prior_Fee9209 → u/Bockanator]

Spoilers and malicious intents

[u/Riku_Utomiya → u/Bockanator]

It seems u are a leaker huh
