How PVZ2 Mods improved Frostbite Caves (or did the opposite)

  • Welcome to the mildly rushed video. I still like the video but, meh.
    PVZ2 mods exist. And as Frostbite Caves is a world in PVZ2 it is a world which ends up being changed in said mods. And as this is PVZ2, nothing happens without me having a long opinion on this. And out of blind rage I accidently ranted about dragon imp for half the video. Don't ask, I don't know either. I didn't know I was so bothered by the guy.
    Regardless, this video will talk about Requiem Frostbite Caves, and Dragon Imp in most other modded FCs. I just hope you enjoy this as much as I did enjoy making it.

    I think limiting the player's options can be a good thing. The Civilization IV devs said that "given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game." If the player finds a loadout that can beat every level, they'll use that same loadout to beat every level, and that'll be boring. There quite a few plants in plenty of different mods that I never bother to use just because it might be a waste of time to figure out how they work compared to just using the known working strategy. In Into The Storm, levels are hard enough that it's a fun puzzle in each level to try to figure out what plants are necessary to beat it.
    Of course, this can go too far. I'm thinking Eclise, where on the 2nd and 3rd quests, the levels are so hard that you have to play perfectly to beat each level, which doesn't work in PvZ where levels are so long that it takes a while between conceiving of trying a way to fix a mistake, and getting to try it.

      @hentloll1370 Місяць тому +25

      Yes, but that's why Creeps also mentioned stuff like nighttime in Dark Ages and lily pads in BWB. These still limit your options and encourage you to play differently.
      However, his point about heaters is that heaters are already attacking plants. Instead of optimizing the fun out of the game, the game already optimized it out for you.

      Idk if youve played requiem but from my experience strategies definitely do get countered, you can't run the same strategy the entire game with the same amount of ease, but you always have another option to go through. And if you really really want to keep using the strategy, you can, itll just be a lot harder. So imo it works for both camps
      Requiem is genuinely like top 3 pvz experiences for me its so good

    Also pro tip for people struggling with the world, whether it be altverz, or other mods that have it, bring lava guava as your primary heat source. It's cheaper than every other heated plant, but is still just as effective.

    @romansrevengethethirdstrik8086 Місяць тому +34

    I feel like altverz is able to make dragon imp fit under 1 strict condition that it changes with Frostbite caves. Heaters is not the only answer to ice winds/zombies that chill plants.
    Hot potato is an actually viable (albeit micro intensive) way to deal will frozen plants and any plant that inflicts chilled or freezes plants is immune to frost like fire plants.
    This gives you a different way to handle the core issues with FC and because you fundamentally don't need to rely on the heater+support attacker combo, dragon imp now has a different role in encouraging other strategies that the level designer can exploit, like how frost buildup cannot be solved by hot potato so crucial winds can disable your plants at the most dangerous times or how relying on winter melon alone is hard and early game dangers can be pushed with weasel hoarder.
    Your conclusion was completely right, and when you modify the core issue of FC, dragon imp can take a new role and serve a purpose beyond failing to solve an old problem.

    started playing lobcorp recently and the music gave me flashbacks lmao.
    very good video. I'd always groan when I see a dragon imp (or other, similar heathens), and it's nice to have someone transform these groans into a well structured and articulated point.
    I'd like to add a few things about how some other mods approach FBC, mainly ecl and rfl, because they both add a new dodo variant. Robo dodo in rfl is a nice tanky variant to serve as a more significant threat to lanes you'd otherwise ignore due to slider tiles. Doesn't add much, but it's not unwelcome. Eclise's Nether Dodo is very weird for many reasons, mainly due to how odd some of the plants it flies above are, but I kinda like how it's a wide enough selection that can each fit into different roles and into different strategies, as opposed to the wind gimmick that forces fire plants which almost always take up the dps role. I can see why you didn't bring these up though (or alrverz's Piercing Cold, now that I think about it), it's because they don't particularly relate to the main point about FBC's flaws with its main gimmick and how mods go about fixing it.

  • @honestlygl_tchy3046
    @honestlygl_tchy3046 Місяць тому +20

    You've hit my complaint about adding Imp Dragon to Frostbite Caves perfectly.
    FC already locks you to fire plants and then ID blocks them which essentially makes fire plants heat producers that you play with sun producers just locking good strategies even further

  • @jeffreychickenlover80
    @jeffreychickenlover80 Місяць тому +6

    Here's some ideas on how I feel Frostbite Caves can be improved.
    Just be warned that I'm no expert on game design, this could probably be massively improved.
    First off, cold plants also need to be immune to frost. With fire plants clashing with chilling plants, the usefulness of chilling in Frostcaves is often low. Making chill plants be immune not only encourages the use of them, but it also provides an alternative to using only fire plants, as now you can create a strategy using mostly frosty plants.
    Yes, I understand that forcing a specific set of plants is bad game design, but not only does this fit but I have more to add to it.
    Fire plants usually have high damage. High damage triggers waves faster and speeds up the pace of the level.
    Chilling plants stall the zombies and slow the pace of the level.
    See what I'm getting at here?
    I think the Frostbite Caves gimmick should be level pacing.
    You can choose to use excessive fire plants for effective frost immunity and risk getting overwhelmed by (new?) special zombies, or draw out the game with ice plants with mediocre frost immunity, but risk getting your other important plants overwhelmed by frost late-game due to how long it's been building up the rest of the level.
    I also think fire plants should have an obvious downside. Maybe they're TOO good at heating, and cause the ground tiles to melt into water tiles, requiring a Lily Pad? Or perhaps they cause icicles to fall from the ceiling, damaging your plants?
    There's a lot of room for ideas.

    • @Taceria
      @Taceria Місяць тому +1

      Ok you're right here works great like a better than I was an extremely expecting. But the idea of icicles got me into thinking. Fire plants can be one of the causes for dicotes falling. But I was thinking what if there was a zombie that can cause an ambush? You see what I am getting out here? Have a zombie that functions like the gong zombie from the Chinese Port but it causes an effect similarly to glacial upperizing. A zombie that manually he drops icicles. Like a more menacing Hunter zombie if you will.
      Another idea I had about the frostbite caves is. Like the ice blocks defrosting themselves in Requiem. I was thinking maybe we can implement a mechanic word plants automatically get frozen one level. Slowly

    Hyperdermic Hollows in Reflourished really bugged me with not only the fire-immune zombie, but with the reintroduction of Pyre Vine, which despite being a fire plant not only doesn't have warming but isn't immune to frost at ALL. I get it would pretty much trivialise the ice winds if it wasn't made that way, but lack of utility combined with its weak stats makes me wonder why it was even added in the first place.

    Even funnier part about fire imp, that doesn't really matter now, is that it was an even *more* inane addition when it was first added
    Why? Well, because there were so few fire plants. There was a grand total of 5, Snapdragon, Cherry Bomb, Spudow, Jalapeno, and Torchwood, the latter two being premium plants as well
    This means the average player only had three plants that the Fire Imp was immune to at the time, and while I personally used Snap Dragon a lot (loved the design when I was younger) you really wouldn't run into this issue unless you actively used these plants (in endless)
    I can believe the "Fire Imp was part of further plans for Dark Ages" theory because at release Dark Ages only had 15 levels, it was tiny, and I could see it having been pushed more into a dragon theme in the missing 10 levels that made Fire Imp more relevant, instead of just being a funny little minion that fits with the world's boss

    I didn't know people put dragon imp in frost cave,
    Like I always thought the issue was that Frost can lock out your backline without much counterplay.
    Because fire plants being viable isn't a bad thing, having no other options is.
    Which is why I really like the auto defrost, it puts it more in line with Wizard and the likes.

    I enjoyed the endothermic hollows or whatever they're called from Reflourished, but I'm still relatively new to PvZ2. I was enjoying trying to find weird ways to supply heat while also dealing with fireproof zombies. Having to dedicate one of my slots to 1 of 4 fire plants didn't feel that bad, especially since one of them was torchwood, which has a stacking effect in reflourished. You could do some interesting things there.

  • @Excelsus_
    @Excelsus_ Місяць тому +3

    Personally I don't agree too much with this. The way FC limits the players options in mods can be good, so long as you're not using only heating plants. There's this one BTD6 level that I really like where every ten rounds after you place a tower, said tower gets frozen for a few rounds. This forces you to experiment and find the strategies you can use.
    Mods usually follow this same mindset and I think it works. Dragon Imps only make these worlds force you to have variety. In other words, the only thing they really do is force the player from not only using fire-based plants. Like you said, fire plants are often very strong in their own right, but choosing solely these plants should not be a strategy in a frigid world, which Dragon Imp highlights to the player. Same with Jester and Parasol Zombie, where in mods, they highlight to you that you can't only use certain plants, while still needing them to help defend. Like you can't only use Fume Shroom and expect to make it through all of Alternate UniverZ's DA levels.
    I think the main issue is that FC only has one type of zombie, and those are tanks. There are sooo many Zombies in that world and a good majority of them are tanks, so you end up playing around the normal zombies because everything else isn't actually a threat, and because the tankiest zombies are all pretty slow, you find counters easily. In my opinion, it's the zombie variety, and not planet variety, that struggles.
    Not to say Requiem is a bad mod, in fact I do think that their take on FC is the most creative since it gives the specials a chance to shine. But I feel like saying that most developers in the modding scene are hobbyists and aren't too experienced in game design is a little ignorant of what the other mods are doing. Even then, Requiem's mod team also creates the mod as a hobby, so this shouldn't be an argument in the first place.

      Creeps just said that running whatever plants you want is what the PVZ franchise lives and breathes on, and that levels that feature frost winds or Dragon Imp should be used sparingly in Locked and Loaded levels or somewhere else. Also, he wasn't really being ignorant about saying that modders are hobbyists and aren't too experienced, he was kinda being honest. Sure, mods have done several awesome things, but they have YET to unleash their full potential. Plus, he finds what Requiem does in Frostbite Caves to be better than what other mods do to it. Saying that there shouldn't be an argument about how mods do things in the first place is the ACTUAL ignorance from YOU, as he's being honest with his opinions, not ignorant.

    My idea for an “ideal” FC is a bit silly,but I like it.Ban all heaters and put 2 torchwoods on the lawn(usually covering the first 3 columns) and have the world basically be a battle for field control.Hunter should work the same(maybe he’s better by not hitting ice blocks?).Dodo should be an infiltrator(he should just be faster and fly over everything).Weasel Hoarder is fine as is.Trog doesn’t spawn with Ice Blocks and just rushes down to your front line,punishing unbroken ice blocks.I kinda want Blockhead to just swap lanes on his own every minute.

    can't say i myself haven't fallen into the same 'square hole' people keep talking about.
    one idea i had for my idea of a FBC rework had toasty imp (design-wise, basically being the dodo rider imp by itself minus the neanderthal eyebrows), a medium-health zombie immune to being frozen, slowing cold _and_ fire. and serving as a sort of counter to purely fire setups which are what people often go with for FBC.
    i think the idea of this sort of zombie still works, as it fills an interesting niche... but using it as a traditional special in the vanilla FBC setup? yeah, that can lead to agony. i think it'd be best used sparingly and/or for more gimmicky levels, as you mentioned.

    Woah. This is a much more appealing recommendation for Requiem than from anyone else I've heard. I kept being scared off of the choose-your-own unlock style of Requiem since you're then expected to choose the one or few plants you want next from literally ALL of them and feel forced to live with that choice (rocking my choice paralysis up to 11), but seeing the marked design improvements afforded by this change is impressive. Incredible! Does Requiem have any sort of plant showcase levels to see what I'm getting?
