Discussing FE2 Features: How can Flood Escape 2 be Improved? 

24 MINUTE FLEX VIDEO 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯

Honestly I didn't care that much about exploding buttons until Chaoz Japan got added with a button that has no purpose other than blowing you up because you're slightly lagging behind whoever pressed it first, very fun event

What would've been a cool gamemode for my opinion is "Observing" gamemode. There is no flood or timer, you just walk through map, practicing some jumps mb, or just looking at the cool visuals without the hesitation to press buttons and get out of there. Seriously, If that mode would've been in the CM, I would've stayed in Retro coast for hours just for the sunset alone.

exploding buttons should be their own type of button (similar to group buttons) that give you extra xp. they could work, it’s just that a lot of maps aren’t designed with them in mind (which they shouldn’t have to be). maybe there could be also be a “randomized” button event (to replace random group buttons) that has all 3 button types (with the option to disable certain buttons from becoming exploding buttons in map making kit)

obvious fix to half the event problems on highlights is to just event lock it to escapee only

IMO pre votes are stupid. If a map isn’t being voted, it’s for a reason. Prevotes just force crappy maps on everybody.

I would add another difficulty. I know it sounds pretty cliché but it’s obvious that the skill barrier of fe2 players is a lot higher than even avm. Adding more challenging maps could make the game less boring to more skilled escapists.

While I do agree with the intensity being changed like in the video, I think the ability to boost in pro servers ruins the servers, so maybe this could work with the removal 1 - I'd say make the minimum Insane for pro servers - There's no reason for it to be like normal servers where it starts on Easy. 2 - I'd then revert the level requirement back to 30, but with a trade - If possible, require the player to solo most of the Insane and Crazy Maps (Excluding Highlight Maps). If they can do this, they shouldn't need to rely on boosting. 2a - I'd maybe make it so you have to also solo the hardest Crazy map in the game as a safety catch. 3 - Removing all shortcuts on Insane and Crazy Maps - There's no excuse for this honestly on some maps. (This applies to all servers). I agree with you on this one flex. 4 - Nerf the boost to only 2 stacks in Normal Servers, with it being removed entirely in pro servers - This is because normal servers are unplayable as a beginner and I feel pro servers aren't pro servers due to boosting. The only thing I might tweak is maybe Crazy should be -0.8, so if Crazy+ does come out, it'd be possible to reach with no boosting. These ones is definitely going to cause a split, but here we go... 5 - I also feel map voting should be removed in Pro Servers as well, but not completely random maps, but on a set pattern. For example: if Blue Moon was the 1st map out of 7, then that map cannot show up again for the next 6 rounds. 6 - I'd rebalance maps so they're closer together in solo and Multiplayer. The reason is because a lot of maps are WAY too easy in multiplayer. Shortcuts do contribute to this reason, but often the map design is at fault too. My reasoning for this is because the difficulties seem to show for solo only, and a lot of maps were not designed around Multiplayer in mind. Some good examples that need fixing are Poisonous Chasm, Familiar Ruins and maybe Dark Sci-Facility. 7 - Correct the difficulty balancing! There's way too many maps that fail to balance the difficulty properly, for example, a easy section into a hard section, These are some ideas that might improve Flood Escape 2, but this could make it worse for some. Idk, what do you think?

With exploding buttons, it wasnt that big of a deal until Chaoz got added as a highlight because on the first button its almost impossible to avoid,(Here im talking about Chaoz Japan with exploding buttons) you either have to be fast enough to run past it or just wait on the other platform for it to explode. There is some button placements that makes exploding buttons so hard to avoid. Chaoz Japan being a perfect example. Oh and dont even get me started on avm with the 4th button on the tower part.

I think the event RNG system also kinda sucks, since people who do the daily challenges that need a SPECIFIC event, the RNG messes them up so bad that they can play for hours just to get that exact event, and then die immediately after. I know it is not necessary but there are still people who needs gems and EXP and willing to do them daily

Ok there are a lot of suggestions that sound very good so I'm going to add some of miy own: 1. I completely dissagree with adding the pro lock back to the normal servers. I think it just going to ruin them. But adding it the Pro server is probably a good idea. 2. I would make that the events are appearing every 5th round since it's actually getting annoying to have an event every 2nd round to be with event. It would most likely lower the chances of completing the quests, however... 3. Make that the events that people have in the daily quests are more likely to appear then other 4. Rescuing an escapee on a crazy map gives you 3-5 gems 5. ok hear me out on this... Buff the exploding button area BUT make that only the person who pressed it can get exploded

top bad things in fe2- new UI (it hides for mobile players, making it impossible to boost intensity while running) explosion & mirror mode (it really ruins the experience) hopefully crazy doesn't add any more difficulties, 5 is enough

number 1 FIX THE DAMN CONTROLLER BUG

I’ve had a terrible time with the game when those three newer events (exploding buttons, fog, mirror mode) were introduced. Now granted I’m not a person who plays the game 24/7 but enough to play about 3 hours a day. Here are my problems with these 3 modes. Mirror Mode: Now this one I don’t think is too bad but it still has problems. These include the significant being throwing off and just annoying fails since mirror mode doesn’t tell you until the alert. Also this makes maps really annoying and harsh to sightread, to the point that I probably can’t do the maps at all until I get lucky enough to learn the mirror. If I was fixing this I would do the same solution as in the video. Fog: I used to hate this one more than the other 2 but I really hate exploding buttons more now. Now I get it, the concept is fine. But the main problems I have with it are similar to the video (hard to tell where to go and ugly). In addition to those, I really have a problem with how this also makes some jumps blind (meaning you can’t tell where to go or even where you should land) and this just drives me crazy. If I had to fix this, I would do the same solutions in the video but also nerfing the fog enough to can see where you need to go without much trouble and probably a little more after that. Maybe if I was really going for it I would add a fog mode. Exploding buttons: Oh boy where do I even start with this one? I have many of the same problems in the video (causing laziness and unfair deaths) but I also really hate how the buttons punish those even only a little behind and causes chokepoints where you’re forced to wait when someone is ahead (which can cause more unfair deaths). The concept I think is actually creative and would work as it’s own mode, but it really needs rebalancing. If I had to fix this, I would make the range larger and timer longer however only people who had pressed the button could get hit from the explosion (idea taken from a another comment, credits to the person who put it before me). Now this solution fixes all of the problems I covered. Summary: I agree with many of the problems covered about these events in the video but I would also improvise some other extra things to make it feel more enjoyable and less frustrating.

The event system thing only happens 2.30 mins after an event happens on a map. So technically if an event happens on Sulphurous Sea and you take the full 2.20 mins, the next map will already be another event.

8:16 i think 1 challenge requirement for make normal servers alive, *right?*

ok so - mirror mode definitely needs its own gamemode - for the loading screen they could update it since its been the same since like the game came out - for escapees I actually have a good idea, they could make it so each map has 2 or 3 escapee spots instead of 1 to change up the gameplay. This could also go for lost pages. - group button event actually used to be all group buttons but yeah its pretty useless gamemode - fog I think is really cool for most maps and should a lower effect of fog should be added to maps (example being decaying silo having fog, not the super thick fog, would look cool) - exploding buttons need to go - I agree with the intensity system - you never talked about the leveling system but its probably fine as it is - REMOVE DAILY CHALLENGE FOR PRO REQUIREMENT PLEASE

Akitz in this video is always tab glitching in chaos servers and I find it pretty annoying for someone grinding maps I really hope crazyblox adds an anticheats that actually functions properly

22:48 i dont really think lost pages exists in highlighted maps, but correct me if im wrong, cuz ive never saw a page on highlights also i think that if you survive an event that occurs, you should get extra xp or currnecy. microwave buttons kills everyone lol

I completely disagree with the old lock system, but if it is like 1 map only and has cooldown, considerable

Lmao I was in the video! (OldConeHead) 16:02

i never found exploding buttons annoying or hard to deal with since it's easy to avoid the explosion for me but mirror mode sucks i hate it with all my life, fog however is a good and bad event it's bad because it reduces how much of the map you can see but it's good for that reason since your computer will have to render less of the map giving more fps and this really helps with maps like ssh and ds because MAXIS DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO OPTIMIZE A MAP

I know that this video has been out for a week now, but nobody has corrected this, all group buttons has existed when events were added. They were replaced by random group buttons near the time they added Sandswept, Ignis, and satomi. All group buttons were replaced because the community thought the event was mid (maybe it's because the fe2 community is lazy as fu-).

Hey guys flex gaming and I met at the same chaos server not capping but he left :(

I never found anything wrong with intensity tbh

flex gaming what fonts did you use in the video?
