Pvz2 Progress all wiped
Today, my pvz2 progress has all been wiped after I haven't played it for over a month. When I first clicked on the app, it forced me to update to the latest version, which I did. However, when I reentered the app, I found out that all my progress was suddenly gone. I had to play the tutorial and once I completed that, it gave me no option to restore my progress. That was different from the norm. After that, I redownloaded the app and restarted my iPad to see if my progress had returned. It hasn't and this really concerned me. When I check my player ID, I found it to be the same as when I took a screenshot of it years ago. The only thing different is that my progress has all been gone despite the player ID being the same. I know that in the past, I have connected and backed up my progress to both Game Center and EA. Game Center still shows the dates that I have completed the achievements for pvz2. I have also chatted with support today and opened a case. They told me that there's a problem on their end since they are facing technical issues. I'm told to contact them back in 24 hours, much to my disappointment. Everything that I had in my account is extremely sentimental to me, since it was all the progress I had made from my childhood to present day. In fact, Game Center said that I have first completed the tutorial on August 24th, 2013. That is over 10 years ago. It's a long time. I noticed that other people are facing the same issues now, which is why I'm hoping that this is an error that can be reversed.For those who have lost progress, here is what I've done to restore it
I've lost all game progress three times now with PVZ updates. I managed to get the first two times restored and am now working on the third time. FIRST TIME - progress lost December 8. I created a case and followed up via email 9 times as my case kept being put on "Waiting for Customer Response" for some reason. I took some poster's advice and started following up via chat after over two weeks of this nonsense produced no results. I eventually got someone on chat who restored my progress. I was locked out of the game for just under three weeks, missing out on gems, a new plant, and being demoted from Jade league. Not a happy camper. SECOND TIME - progress lost January 25. This was during the migration of the forums to the new platform and posts were unavailable and help was a little crazypants to find. Chat options were disabled or hidden. Lost progress help prompts took you to the same article about linking accounts without giving you an option to submit a case (my account is linked to game center on my IOS devices and following the tips did not fix it). It took four follow up emails from me (with each response asking me the same questions and asking me to attach a screenshot of my player ID each and every time), but got my progress restored after the fourth email. The help advisor said he made an adjustment to my account, and there it was. Didn't miss out on the new plant, but got demoted and missed out on gems and the new plant is at a lower level than I usually manage. THIRD TIME - progress lost 4/15. This time, I'm seeing notes on the site that EA can't or won't help restore progress??? (At this point I'm feeling like a class action lawsuit might change some attitudes). Any attempts to pursue a restore progress in the help tree do not produce options to start a case or chat. They take you to the article. I went to log-in help and was able to submit an email to start a case (or so I thought). I sent off the information with a subject line of restore progress. I found it curious I didn't get an automated response and when I checked my cases this morning, there was no case syarted in spite of me submitting one. I once again went to the log-in help page and started a chat this time, again with a subject line of lost progress. When I hit submit, it did not start a chat and took me back to the same page. I tried again with a generic subject line of just needing help for PVZ 2 and got connected via chat. After explaining the issue, the rep said that they got lots of reports of this and it would be magically fixed at some point (Boy have I heard this one before). I asked her what status she would put my case on and she said "Waiting for Fix". This is the status you want your case on as it will prompt advisors to reach out to you if it stays on that status too long. You'll want to monitor your status constantly as they will put it on "waiting for info" randomly, then close it. Now starts again the dance of me following up via email and chat every other day. EDIT - I just looked at my case I started not even 15 minutes ago and it is on WAITING FOR PLAYER, not 'waiting for fix' like the advisor said. Because of course it is. God, I love PVZ2 - it's my daily game, but I am so over this exhausting BS I'm now having to deal with on almost a monthly basis.I can't open the game
I played the game a while ago on a different phone but since then I have gotten a new one ( a revvl 6x 5g) and decided to redownload it, however since downloading it won't open at all, like it'll get as far are going to the choose your age screen for a few seconds and then crash, and won't open or do anything. Is there a way fix this? The most recent post I've found is from a few years ago and I've tried everything from restarting my phone, redownloading, clearing storage and all that.
Event stuck in a loop
Anybody else having an issue with the events items? Every time I go to the daily activities and click the Event tab it shows that I completed this event about Filament and the reward is 10 coins. I collect then exit from the daily activities. The activity icon immediately has a red mark showing that I have completed something. I go in and look and it is the filament task again. It does this every time. Every now and then it will show the event as having 3 levels I need to play. After I play just 1 it shows the event completed and I'm back in the loop again. No other events have been there for the past week. I have tried clearing the cache and clearing the data but it always comes back.help with linking my account to restore my progress in pvz2 for ios

Dear Development Team of Plants vs. Zombies 2 International Version:
The following is an AI translation due to my limited English proficiency; some inaccuracies may exist.As a loyal Chinese player, I have had a lot of fun while playing the game. At the same time, I have also found some areas that can be optimized, and I hope to contribute my ideas to the further improvement of the game. As a loyal Chinese player, I have gained a great deal of enjoyment during the gameplay. At the same time, I have also identified some areas that can be optimized, and I hope to contribute my ideas to the further improvement of the game. I. Language and System AdaptationMultilingual Support: It is recommended to add adaptation for more languages, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Hindi, Malay, etc. Currently, there are a large number of Chinese players in the international version. Adapting to Chinese can significantly enhance their gaming experience and also attract more players from different regions.HarmonyOS Next Version Adaptation: With the development of Huawei's HarmonyOS Next system, it is hoped that the game can be adapted to this system as soon as possible, and achieve real-time data interconnection across all platforms, allowing players to seamlessly enjoy the game regardless of the device and system they are using. II. Interface and Visual OptimizationPad End View Selection: On the Pad end, provide two visual effect options of high view and low view for all game interfaces. Different players have different requirements for the display of the game screen. The high view allows players to obtain more comprehensive battlefield information, while the low view may focus more on local battles, meeting different strategic planning and visual preferences.High Frame Rate Optimization: Currently, the refresh rate of all interfaces in the international version is relatively low. It is recommended to conduct high frame rate optimization to make the game screen smoother. Especially in battle scenes, a high frame rate can improve the response speed of operations and visual comfort, bringing a better gaming experience to players.Dynamic Welcome Background: When entering the game, the welcome background should always be set to a dynamic effect. Load the dynamic background when the "EA PopCap" logo appears to increase the attractiveness and immersion of the game, making players feel fresh and surprised every time they enter the game. III. Optimization of Plant and Zombie MechanismsOptimization of the Interaction of Tile Turnip: When the Tile Turnip triggers a joint special move, if some tiles are empty (without plants), when a plant is planted in this state, the plant should automatically obtain the special move effect to avoid the waste of special move resources. At the same time, ensure that there is no delay in the joint special move of the Tile Turnip, allowing players' operations to take effect in a timely manner and improving the smoothness and strategic nature of the game.Adjustment of the Characteristics of Gatling Pea:• When using叶绿素 (Chlorophyll), the Gatling Pea can fire a large number of peas in three rows, including the row above, the row below, and the row it is in (refer to the characteristics of the Machine Gun Pea in the Chinese version) to enhance its attack range and firepower.• Retain the characteristic of the Gatling Pea's own special move, which is to fire a large number of peas in its own row, so that it has a unique attack method in different situations.• All level 1 Gatling Peas on the field will fire a large number of peas in their own row at a unified time every 50 seconds, and a clear mark should be made when they are about to trigger a joint special move, allowing players to better grasp the attack rhythm and timing. At the same time, the higher the level of the Gatling Pea, the shorter the waiting time for its own joint special move, reflecting the advantages of high-level plants.Adjustment of the Effect of Flame Bullets: Regarding the situation where flame bullets from plants like Fire Peashooter and Meteor Flower have no effect on Baby Dragon Zombie, it is recommended to adjust it so that flame bullets have the damage value of normal bullets against Baby Dragon Zombie, but the flame effect is ineffective. This can ensure the balance of the game and avoid unreasonable immunity situations.Improvement of the Effects of Iceberg Lettuce and Tangle Kelp:• The freezing effect of Iceberg Lettuce should be changed from single-target freezing to group freezing, that is, all zombies in the same grid are frozen, enhancing its control ability and making it more useful when facing groups of zombies.• The damage effect of Tangle Kelp should be changed to group damage similar to that of Squash, instead of single-target damage, improving its practicality and value in the game.Armor Mechanisms of Umbrella Zombie and Lost Explorer Zombie: The armors of Umbrella Zombie and Lost Explorer Zombie can be knocked off, and the shovel of the Lost Explorer can be absorbed by Magnet-shroom. This will increase the strategic nature of the game, and players can reasonably select plants to deal with these zombies according to their weaknesses.Perfection of the Effect of Bloomerang: When Bloomerang is removed, an explosion effect should automatically appear, and an explosion effect should also occur when using "Spudow's Bandage". This enriches its usage methods and tactical value, giving players more strategic choices in the game.Adjustment of the Mechanism of Potato Mine: When the Potato Mine has not emerged from the ground, it will not be eaten by zombies but will be ignored by them, avoiding unreasonable losses when players set up defenses in the early stage and making the defensive strategies in the game more reasonable and diverse.Optimization of the Cannonballs of Primal Peashooter:• After the complete plasma ball launched by Primal Peashooter eliminates the zombies, the remaining plasma balls can stay to cause damage to the following zombies until the plasma balls shoot out of the field or are consumed, making full use of the cannonball resources and enhancing its attack effect.• If Primal Peashooter is removed or eliminated halfway during the charging process, the remaining plasma balls can also be launched and have a death animation similar to that of Torchwood, making the game operations and battle performance more smooth and natural. IV. Addition of New Gameplay and ContentNew Two-player Duel Mode: Launch a new two-player duel mode, where Player A controls the plants and Player B controls the zombies. Refer to the relevant modes in the PS3 version of Plants vs. Zombies and the Android TV version of Plants vs. Zombies to bring players a new battle experience and strategic challenge, increasing the interactivity and competitiveness of the game.Addition of Hero Characters: Add the plant heroes and zombie heroes from Plants vs. Zombies: Heroes to the game, and make them applicable to both the old two-player duel mode and the new two-player duel mode. These hero characters have unique skills and abilities, which will enrich the gameplay and strategic combinations of the game, bringing more freshness and fun to players.Adaptation of Plants and Zombies in the Chinese Version: Add a large number of plants and zombies unique to the Chinese version to make the content of the international version richer and more diverse. The plants and zombies in different versions have their own characteristics. Integrating these elements will bring a more comprehensive gaming experience to players and also promote communication and interaction among players of different versions. V. Optimization of Advertising and PaymentAdvertisement Viewing Benefits: Support players to be permanently free of ads after watching 500 ads for free, and players can receive 1000 coins each time they watch an ad. This can provide certain benefits and rewards for players, encourage them to watch ads, and also meet the needs of players who want to get rid of ad interference, improving players' game satisfaction.Optimization of the Payment Mechanism: The coins spent within a level will only be deducted when the level is successfully completed. If the level fails, the coins spent in this level will not be deducted. At the same time, the batteries spent in Penny's Pursuit, the diamonds spent in the two Pinata Parties, the Z-Tokens spent in the Z-League, and the candies spent in other modes will only be deducted when the level is successfully completed. Such a payment mechanism is more fair and reasonable, reducing players' losses in case of failure and improving players' gaming experience. VI. Optimization of Levels and ItemsLevel Victory Special Effects: When a level is successfully completed, all obstacles, such as tombstones, arcade machines, ice blocks, etc., will automatically break and disappear, making the game interface cleaner. At the same time, it brings players a sense of achievement of victory and visual satisfaction.Adjustment of the Function of the Gold Card: The Gold Card is defined as that when a plant is placed each time, there is a 100% probability of releasing a special move, and it is for one-time use. The Gold Card can be selected for use when choosing a plant. The Gold Card will only become invalid when the game is successfully completed. If the game is exited halfway or fails, the Gold Card will not become invalid. This adjustment will increase the strategic nature and value of the Gold Card, allowing players to better use the Gold Card to turn the tide of the battle at critical moments.Bug FixesProblems of Fire Peashooter and Torchwood: Fix the problem that the yellow flame peas will not turn into blue flame peas when they encounter the blue Torchwood. Ensure that ordinary peas will only be upgraded to have higher damage when passing through the flame, and will not be downgraded, ensuring the consistency and rationality of the plant skills in the game.Attack Problems of Heal-A-Lot and the Zombies Summoned by Dr. Zomboss: Solve the problems that Heal-A-Lot will not attack ice blocks and the zombies summoned by Dr. Zomboss that have not fully appeared cannot be attacked, making the attack mechanism of the game more complete and avoiding unreasonable immunity situations.Overlapping Shadow Problem of Zombies and Plants: Fix the problem that the color of the shadow will be deepened when the shadows of multiple zombies or plants overlap, ensuring the normal visual effect of the game screen and improving players' gaming experience. The above are some of my suggestions and feedback on Plants vs. Zombies 2 International Version. I hope the development team can seriously consider them. I believe that through continuous optimization and improvement, the game will become more wonderful, attract more players, and bring a better gaming experience to everyone. Thank you, the development team, for bringing us such an interesting game. I look forward to the game getting better and better!
lost all progress plants vs zombies 2
Hello I had plants vs zombies 2 on my phone but had to do a factory reset and have all lost all of my world progress and all of my plants some of which i bought and all my mints. I had the game linked to my google account [edit: email address removed] but after reinstall the game reset everything and I no longer have all my plants. Can anything be done to recover all of my progress?SOFT LOCK in modes page.
my game soft locked after an animation break. After a Wild West stage, an animation that unlocks the Penny Pursuit mode started, but I ended up closing the game before finishing it. As soon as I opened the game again, the modes page became inoperative. I can't select the adventure mode or the Penny Pursuit. Only the arena mode works. I've already contacted EA support, uninstalled it, cleared the cache, and they asked for my ID to change the account, but nothing worked. I honestly didn't want to lose the account. I spent hours leveling up things, playing the levels and earning my plants.
Arena and Penny’s Pursuit Locked Bug
dos some reason, the game keeps telling me to bet level 5 Egypt before unlocking them; but o already did. I’m Back to the game after a long while, i synchronized my account and the game crashed. When it came back, I couldn’t play those game modes anymore. Don’t want to lose this account, it’s REALLY old and i just don’t want to expand money on plants again. Pls help!Things that would improve PvZ2
PvZ2 is a decent game but it has a lot of problems and here is a list of them: 1°: Penny's pursuit levels are very repetitive and we haven't had new ones for a long time. 2°: It's been a while since we've seen new zombies and this makes the events very repetitive 3°: the events do not have much variety, like conveyor levels and Last Stand are never in this events. That's basically it, I think these 3 things would improve the game's by a lot. Thanks for the time.Plants vs Zombies 2 PC Port?
It's really an heart touching wish of fans of Pvz 2 to at least experience this game on PC Windows as an official Port at least once in a life time before they officially ends up being fan of PVZ series. EA/PopCap really thinks it's not worthy to port it on PC but it's completly false check out the World of Fans creating multiple PC ports with every best possible way to give some die hard fans a little vibe at least. But real developers wouldn't care about this which is real sad, this game could not be worthy in their view but for fans it's the only amazing musical and interesting game of PVZ series which fans wants really bad on PC (not everyone can afford emulators without proper specifications of System). If Developers doesn't have any problem porting it to PC then i think it's the best time to do before fans are super disappointed or no longer interested. in my opinion the PVZ series should've been for PC only because the first part was officially done for PC then 2 should've been here too. please bring it for PC u can even put in app purchases system to PC port one too there's many platforms such as steam, epic games, or other ways.. Fans really want it if you care about fans Listen to them, you're not reacting on them and denying the rumours it really shows that you don't care about PVZ fans. (don't mind my message) they have been waiting since 8 years and instead fans are getting appreciated and much supported for making unofficial ports. So after all this You still doesn't care about this?.Shrinking Violet bug
Recently I bought shrinking violet with 100 gems and used it in arena; however the shrinking effect never occurred. Moreover all the plants were boosted (if I'm not mistaken it's a boosterama???). The shrinking violet's Plant Food Effect is to shrink all zombies on the lawn, making the bug more obvious.
To: EA - Electronic Arts and PopCap
Hi there, EA and PopCap. Let me tell you, your game Plants vs. Zombies 2 is crap, it has no exclusive content nor new worlds for Dave and Penny to explore, it only has Adventure Mode with boring levels without minigames, Penny's Pursuit Mode and Arena Mode, it has nothing exclusive nor new worlds. What I like about Plants Vs. Zombies 2 now is the Chinese version. Plants Vs. Zombies 2 (China) has all kinds of exclusive content and new worlds as Sky City, Steam Ages, Renaissance Age and More with levels and minigames with new Zombies. Plants Vs. Zombies 2 (China) 植物大战僵尸2 is developed by Talkweb Games. Everyone loves the Chinese version of PvZ 2. Plants Vs. Zombies 2 (China) is way better than Plants Vs. Zombies 2 (International), the International version of PvZ 2 is CRAP, and EA - Electronic Arts & Pop Cap is CRAP too.
