Plants Vs Zombies 3: (SUGGESTIONS)
I like how they created a system full of adventures! Customizing your home by adding things that make it stunning is a great feature! More plants are added to the game with a plant-evolution system, which makes the game fun and exciting! They need to add 100 levels per themed battle zone/world and incorporate different challenges into the levels by customizing the tiles and features using the same graphic arts of the themed battle zone (per themed battle zone) as the game progresses. It or they (level/levels) will then need different strategies by using different plants (including the game's plant-evolution system). By doing these, it (Plants Vs Zombies 3 game) will make the game longer, at the same time, less hassle for the game developer because they will use the same sprites or graphics for each themed battle zone or world. At present, most of the players playing a mobile game can finish a game in just 2 days to 1 week. It will make the game short-lived and boring after days/weeks/months/years of playing. Make the game longer by creating more worlds! Be creative! We can use AI or Chatgpt to help us create new ideas! The developer should add different challenges and/or features like the following: 1.) Winter land-themed battle zone/Winter land world - freezing wind, Ice blocks, frozen lake, ice melting, penguins, sliding tiles (fast-forward-moving tiles), etc. 2.) Snowy Mountain-themed battle zone/Snowy Mountain World - snowballs, avalanches, mountain goats, snow accumulation, steep-sloped tiles, etc. 3.) Deep sea or Ocean-themed battle zone/ Ocean world - fish, corals, algae (an oxygen-producing plant), water-submerged battle zone (slowing of movement speed and attack speed of plants), etc. 4.) Marshland or floodplain-themed battle zone/Marshland or Floodplain world - flood, lakes, alligators, mosquitoes, etc. 5.) Island-themed battle zone/Island world - Tsunamis, coconut trees, crabs, turtles, low and high tide, etc. 6.) Volcano-themed battle zone/Volcano world - volcanic eruption, pyroclastic flows, volcanic ash, lava flows, explosions, volcanic tsunamis, toxic volcanic gas release, etc. 7.) Desert-themed battle zone/ Desert world - a cactus, sand, quicksand, sand storm, etc. 8.) Wasteland-themed battle zone/wasteland world - a tumbleweed, extreme drought, heatwaves, earthquakes 9.) Mountain-themed battle zone/Mountain world - landslide, large rock formations, tiles hanging on ropes, etc. 10.) Cave-themed battle zone/Cave world - gemstones, bats, glow worms, cave-ins/roof collapse: cave ceilings, particularly in large, unsupported rooms, can fall due to instability, resulting in a sinkhole, etc. 11.) Jungle-themed battle zone/Jungle world - poisonous gas-releasing plants, acid rain (poisonous rain), carnivorous plants that will eat Dave's plants (randomly), mudflows, flooding, a plant that can be planted on a tree or a tile on a tree (referring to ferns), snake, massive flora and fauna (large jungle trees with large roots & large flowers), etc. 12.) Forest-themed battle zone/Forest world - insect infestation, plant decay (decaying of Dave's plants and the surrounding area), decomposing materials/falling leaves or seeds (leaves or seeds are falling out of the trees), Piling of leaves on the forest floor, etc. 13.) Grassland-themed battle zone/Grassland world - wildfire, locust plagues, overgrazing (excessive grazing by livestock disrupts the plant community and can cause soil structure to collapse, leading to irreversible erosion), etc. 14.) Power plant-themed battle zone/Power Plant world - laser fences, a nuclear storage, etc. 15.) The Grid-Lock Substation-themed battle zone/The Grid-Lock Substation world - tiles with electric mine traps, an electric charging station, etc. 16.) Tesla forest-themed battle zone/Tesla forest world - Tesla coils, lightnings, thunder, etc. 17.) Halloween or Cemetery-themed battle zone/Halloween Cemetery world - tombstones (randomly appear on the battle zone), dying trees, plant-eating Halloween tree, voodoo hexes, and sorcery 18.) Haunted Mansion-themed battle zone/Haunted Mansion world - dilapidated things, old picture frames, a grandfather clock, collapsing tiles/floors, dark place or a total blackout (they need to plant a Plantern plant to see the tiles/floor) 19.) Lunar-Fall Citadel-themed battle zone/Lunar-Fall Citadel world - glowing skulls, hollow knights, revolving floor (moving tiles in a clockwise motion), etc. 20.) Lighthouse or Watchtower-themed battle zone/ Lighthouse or Watchtower world - concrete block wall, concrete windows, birds, a staircase (different tile or floor levels), falling debris, etc. 21.) Sky-themed battle zone/Sky world - clouds, tornadoes, slow forward-moving tiles, etc. 22.) Space-themed battle zone/Space world - meteors, comets, random-moving tiles, gravity, moon, floating rocks, etc. They can add more themed battle zones for a more fun gaming experience! Use AI tools for more creative ideas! (You can ask ChatGPT if you want to) I'm hoping that these suggestions will be implemented in the game. *A loyal fan of Plants Vs Zombies.117Views2likes3CommentsPlants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2
Last night, I was about to play Garden Warfare 2 when I was immediately hacked by a level 46 hacker, resulting in a black screen. Can this be resolved? The level 46 incident occurred on 22 April at 23:03 Beijing time. When will it be resolved The EAapp17Views1like0CommentsRedo Level Base
The base amount of sun should return back to 100-150, 500 is way too much. U can get to a thousand sun before u get ur fifth zombie. However this would destroy the game in the current state. This is why point based waves should return and this time based one should go. Also because the current system makes it so u have a moments where u just gotta wait 10-20 seconds for a new zombie to appear while ur at 70% of the level please popcap, as im speaking for a lot of the players on discord, please reintroduce the point based system and reduce starting sun11Views0likes0CommentsSave garden warfare
Garden warfare 2 on pc is infested with hackers and the people working at EA and popcap aren't doing **bleep** about it I've been playing this game for over 10 years and you're letting it die by letting hackers ruin lobbies people still buy this game all the time so there's still benefit for this greedy **bleep** company to save it so stop letting this masterpiece die and save your game.14Views2likes0CommentsCoop Endless Can't Save Progress
When you exit the endless mode in coop, it says your progress will be saved but in fact, nothing will be. When you re-enter, it starts all from the beginning. Please EA! Fix this ASAP. This basically makes the coop Endless meaningless as there will be no way to get to higher streak if you can't save your progress! I wish you can fix this in 1.6.0!149Views1like16CommentsGW2 is unable to reach 100% and unable to launch on Steam Deck. POPCAP plz.
I don't understand why EA/PopCap refused to give any love to one of their most beloved franchises under their belt. Not only is there a subpar anti-cheat being added, locking out a portion of the player base while still not protecting players, but the current players can't even 100% the game due to design oversights. If there were any way for them to allow Steam Deck players to have crossplay or cross-save, this game would have a resurgence. We've seen it maintain thousands of players despite the lack of updates, and instead of making a new game or fixing the old one, they let it slowly get taken over by cheaters while they release another AI-generated remaster of your childhood game, and they can't even include the minigames across the various versions of Plants vs. Zombies. Really, what is EA/PopCap thinking? I can't be the only one with these thoughts.50Views4likes1CommentWatching an ad for the 4th pot steals all my current lives
Hi, there's this annoying bug that I came by. Let's say I have 4 lives and you try watching an ad for the 4th pot, then after you finish watching, you close the ad, the pot unlocks, but then I look at my lives and there's 0 of them all of the sudden. So trying to unlock the 4th pot pretty much punished me and stole all 4 of my lives. It's all because I watched the 4th pot ad, it doesn't happen with other ads. This bug doesn't happen everytime I watch the 4th pot ad, but if it happens, I feel bummed. I play this game for a week and this is the first time it happened for me (it happens for other players too). I want you to patch this annoying bug so it doesn't happen again.69Views0likes2Comments🌻Plants vs. Zombies Discord Server: A Welcoming Community For All PvZ Fans🌻

Hi, I’m reporting this now as it has happened too many times now. Today, 5 days again and at least 3 times in the last 2 months, it has happened that I have completed 8 tasks but have not been rewarded the 10 gems for completing the 8 tasks. Today I tried a different approach, and decided to complete ALL tasks, but the game would not even recognise that I had played 5 rounds in Adventure level. So again, today I’ve missed out on the 12 gems. 12 gems today, 10 gems 5 days ago, 10 gems on multiple other occasions. Can this glitch be fixed? Can I be allocated the gems I’ve earnt?

Subject: Save corruption by a hacker (Level exploit) - Need manual account fix. Message: Hello everyone and EA Community Managers. My EA ID is 3loyKycaka. I am playing Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare on PC via the EA App. Recently, while playing in a public multiplayer match, a hacker used a known exploit to artificially inflate my account's level to over 1,000,000. Because this value exceeds the game's limits, my cloud save is now completely corrupted. Every time I try to join an online match, the game disconnects me from the servers because it cannot process this impossible level. I am unable to play the multiplayer mode of the game I purchased. I have already contacted the standard EA Help live support, but unfortunately, they informed me that they do not have the tools to help me and could not resolve the issue. I am writing here because I know that community managers periodically gather lists of affected accounts and send them to the studio for manual resets or mass unbans. Could you please add my account 3loyKycaka to the list for a manual roll back of my progress or a full reset of my multiplayer stats so that I can play again? I have attached a screenshot of my profile showing the corrupted level. Thank you very much for your time and assistance!PVZ Garden Warfare 2 Level 46 Softlock
As of recent a known exploit got re-leaked to the public once again causing a lot of abusers to brick and soft lock many players accounts including my own via forcing your account above the in game level limit. maxing all your characters to level 46 and your player rank to max. My account was about 2 weeks old having a good handful of characters and 2-3 masters. and now thanks to this exploit i am unable to play the game i bought due to a failed anti-cheat and abusers bricking my cloud save to have all of its progress ruined Support was useless as the tech support was using AI to respond and told me there was nothing they could do even just re-explaining the problem to me that i already explained to them verbatim.. I cant even ask for an account rollback as they claim they have no tools to do so but ask if i wish to "Report this issue" as if that's not the entire reason im contacting support to begin with.. I would love to play this game again soon as i am desperate to get back on. i had week plans for this game and now all i can do is sit and wait for not even a good chance of me getting my account back to normal thanks to unresponsive support and abusive script users/hackers If anyone comes across a possible fix to this situation feel free to share however i wouldn't hold out hope considering i am far from the only one making a post about this reoccurring issue that plauges the servers once more :\ for your safety in the case you HAVE NOT gotten this bug DO NOT PLAY PUBLIC MATCHES IT IS NOT SAFE AND EVEN IF CHANCES ARE SMALL THE CHANCE STILL REMAINS AND THE DAMAGE AS OF RIGHT NOW IS NOT UNDOABLE THANKS TO LAZY SUPPORT! Stick to Private matches and private servers do your research! and tell those not affected by it yet who play pc to do the same. The bugs consist of A permanent black screen with the marigold loading icon always on screen. this is due to the anti cheat soft locking your game because it thinks YOUR a cheater thanks too the bricked data. A soft fix too this is to listen closely as you CAN still control your character within the backyard as i learned from a friend who also is suffering from this issue and made a post about it Slowly attempt to make your way OUT of the backyard spawn area and into the middle battlegrounds and let a weed/zombie kill you. once you respawn congrats you have your sight back but you still cannot play pubs or level characters. you can play private bot matches but that's it Stay safe everyone And EA do your **bleep** jobs as we are people who ACTIVELY PAY FOR THESE GAMES THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS GIVE THE GAME PROPER END OF LIFE SUPPORT WITH MISSING CONTENT READDED AND FIXED SERVERS/ANTICHEAT54Views2likes1CommentShop Dave is acting weirder than normal.
Yeah, I see some issues with Shop Crazy Dave, despite speaking in a cutscene rather than in the store, he is silent, and he sometimes talks about buying the full game, when this is not the demo, and I think there was something about extra lawnmowers. If the Extra lawnmowers were removed prior, then please remove it and the "Full Game" text. Replanted needs to be better, and that includes working on the craziest man who ever lived.PvZ 2 - The level of ignoring players' customers is hard by EA
I'm writing this message on behalf of many players who are being ignored by EA. PvZ 2 is currently unplayable due to your incompetence! The servers and their management have been taken over by hackers, and there's been no response from you. From the players' perspective, it's not the hackers' fault (we don't care if you can't/won't fix it). We pay you, not the hackers, and we have a contract with you guaranteeing a product free from such flaws, and in this case, the product is failing to fulfill its primary purpose. By your silence, you admit that you can be deceived, impersonated, and, more importantly, you demonstrate that they control the resources you offer to customers, preventing us from using the product. To call you incompetent is an understatement.33Views3likes0CommentsNever Ending Match Bug
I queued into a match of ranked and was playing completely normal until my opponent was lagging/disconnecting. I can’t send the video clip but I was just sitting there for about 2 minutes. The red response bubble next to your opponent was flashing red constantly for 2 minutes. I assumed they disconnected but I just closed the app and re-opened and didn’t gain or lose elo. I sent an image of the time stamp where it’s just the red response bubble.16Views0likes0Comments
