I think he said he's fixed how often they spawn, but not yet given them a maximum. So you could still get 6 if you can't clear any of them. The maximum state will make that impossible so hopefully it will be implemented soon.

These Orange bushes are still ridiculous. I went from zero to five with only 3 mana whacks. They are popping up two at a time. I whack two of the orange bushes and two more pop up.

I've just reduced the odds of encountering special bushes (mana, power, energy) in the Flungeon 20.0, as well as the frequency at which Power Bushes will spawn at a depth with Power Bushes.



Rid of power ,,for that matter rid of them all and do some thing totally fun and amazing to the EYE,, why use those annoying bushes again, be creative. SORRY but this is boring for me...IMO

ARE you feeling better Nick ???

My original post pretty much highlighted my opinion on this, I'm for removing them entirely.

Though I will add the 100 pieces is fine by me. I've seen a few posts about it being too many. I think it's a good value, still takes time to get, but larger so easier to complete at the end.

I am enjoying the Flungeon, I love doing puzzles and its been great to have different ones in each depth/level. You do use up energy fast but that doesn't really bother me as much as doing the same old Flux puzzle over and over. I think I did that one 200+ times.

I am a bit confused what the reboot does? I like to do things methodically ,so moved into tier 2 instead of choosing reboot.

And for those worried about the orange bushes, they have only been in the very first puzzle, thus far.

thanks Nick for the new content

My first Flungeon area (sorry, I'm sure there's a more appropriate term than "area") was the one with the power bushes. But my second and third have been free of them, and it's far, far more enjoyable. I'd definitely prefer the Flungeon not having them (or at least, when we are deciding which area to go to next, let the signs indicate if any of the areas have the "special" bushes. (I'd choose an area without them, every time.) I was a little surprised that the choices we did get showed areas that gave additional experience points. I guess it's possible that players who joined in the last few years might be able to reach the Flungeon before reaching level 460, but I always thought of the Flux (and now the Flungeon) as the area where those who are maxed out play. So experience points didn't seem like much of an enticement. :-)

I do dislike the special bushes in the flungeon, they negate the use of the VIP ability to whack up spawned items (as they are not spawned items) so I feel a little cheated at having to stop to power whack, or use energy.
I would very much like the ability to complete regular flux puzzles for dust, at least I know that puzzle well, and could get my daily tasks completed there in quick order on a day that I simply don't have time to "puzzle" through the new flungeon. This is just initial feedback, I've only completed the first five levels.

I'm also a little surprised at the rewards for the depths (that's the term being used for each field in the Flungeon, Marc). I mean gold? I have so much gold I honestly don't have anything to do with it. If the Flungeon was something that low or mid range players could reach then that would make sense, but it isn't so it doesn't.

Please understand I don't think anyone here is being greedy or wanting something ridiculous, it's just if you are going to offer a reward it kind of needs to be in keeping with the audience you are aiming it towards. The Flungeon is for end-game players and the rewards seem to be targeted towards mid-game or even early, back when XP and gold had a lot more use. If you wanted to up the level cap, then XP would have value again, at least for a little while.

I'd add a vote to adding an indicator that the next depth has the coloured bushes, that or the ability to back out of a depth and choose one of the others if the one you walk into has them. The fact you are stuck in a depth and can't go back is odd to me.

I agree, the rewards are piddly for anyone far enough in the game to get to the Flungeon. And my last field had the Green special bushes popping up like mad, two or three at a time, until there are 5 of those bushes.
