I greatly appreciate that the game remembers my choice of plants from one play of arena and/or penny to the next as well as the reload feature. I do find it annoying that they don't persist if one does a plant selection in some other section such as plant of the week. Why not have each area have it's own memory...surely that would be easy to implement and consume negligible resources. E.g. I select my plants for the arena and select different plants for penny pursuit and when I return to arena, it's set of plants is remembered. Currently, the choices interefere with each other.MY MINTS
Hi! New to forum! AND from the topics I've seen so far, seems no one else is having an issue w/ this. So, I hope that means I'll get a quick & ez response. I've been stocking up on a lot of Mints for plant seed purchases. And while I was seeing this before, lately (the past few wks) PVZ2 isn't giving me any options to use my Mints. They're only showing that u can purchase seeds through either real money or 💎. I thought maybe I'd accidentally changed something in settings at first, but, after checking a few times, I don't see anywhere in settings that I could have done that. So, if anyone here knows what's the deal with this, I'd definitely appreciate any insight. 😊Lost account
In the past, I finished the game completely on an iPhone 13, on the game center I have the final achievement "Present perfect, Future tense" and when I switched to an iPhone 14 and installed the game, I no longer have the save. On the game center it shows me that I have the last achievement but the save is not there. I tried to connect with iCloud, to connect with my EA account but no result, does anyone have any idea how I could recover my account in which I have invested a lot of time?
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. I. Language and System Adaptation Multilingual Support It is recommended to add more language adaptations, 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, achieving real-time data interconnection across all platforms, allowing players to enjoy seamless gameplay regardless of the device and system they are using. II. Interface and Visual Optimization Vision Selection on Pad On the Pad, provide two visual effect options of high vision and low vision for all game interfaces. Different players have different requirements for the display of the game screen. High vision allows players to obtain more comprehensive battlefield information, while low vision may focus more on local battles, meeting different strategic formulation 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 carry out high frame rate optimization to make the game screen more smooth. Especially in combat 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, increasing the attractiveness and immersion of the game, so that players can feel fresh and surprised every time they enter the game. III. Optimization of the Mechanisms of Plants and Zombies Optimization of the Linkage 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, so that the player's operation can take effect in a timely manner, improving the smoothness and strategic nature of the game. Adjustment of the Characteristics of Gatling Pea • When using Chlorophyll, the Gatling Pea can fire a large number of peas in three rows: the row above its position, the row below its position, and its own row (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 that it can fire a large number of peas in its own row, enabling it to have a unique attack method in different situations. • All Gatling Peas at Level 1 on the field will fire a large number of peas in their own rows at a unified time every 50 seconds, and a clear mark will be made when they are about to trigger the 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 should be, reflecting the advantages of high-level plants. Adjustment of the Effect of Fire Bullets For the situation where fire bullets from plants like Fire Peashooter and Celestial Fire Pea have no effect on Imp Firethrower, it is recommended to adjust it so that fire bullets have the damage value of ordinary bullets against Imp Firethrower, but the fire effect is ineffective. This can ensure the balance of the game and avoid unreasonable immunity situations. Improvement of the Effects of Iceberg Lettuce and Lily Pad • 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 Lily Pad should be changed to a 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 Miner Zombie The armor of Umbrella Zombie and Lost Miner Zombie can be knocked off, and the shovel of Lost Miner 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. Improvement of the Effect of Bloomerang Perfection of the Effect of Bloomerang Nut When the Bloomerang Nut is removed, an explosion effect should automatically occur. An explosion effect should also be generated when the "Nut Bandage Technique" is used, which enriches its usage methods and tactical value, and provides players with 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. This avoids unreasonable losses when players set up defenses in the early stage and makes the defensive strategies in the game more reasonable and diversified. Optimization of the Cannonballs of Laser Bean • After the complete plasma ball fired by Laser Bean eliminates the zombies, the remaining plasma balls can stay and cause damage to the subsequent zombies until the plasma balls are shot out of the field or consumed, making full use of the cannonball resources and enhancing its attack effect. • If Laser Bean is removed or eliminated during the charging process, the remaining plasma balls can also be fired out, and there should be a death animation similar to that of Torchwood, making the operation and combat performance of the game more smooth and natural. Optimization of the Functions of Sun-producing Plants • It is hoped that Twin Sunflower and Sun-shroom can be exempted from the cooldown time at the beginning of the level like Sun-shroom and Sunflower, and can be used directly. • It is hoped that, similar to the Chinese version, in the "Unbreakable" type of levels, a large number of Sun-shrooms can be used as a source of sun before the "Start Battle". After the "Start Battle", the planted Sun-shrooms can release a large amount of sun, and there is no limit to the number of plantings. This feature has received a great deal of praise from numerous players of the Chinese version! IV. Addition of New Game Modes and Content Brand New Two-player Duel Mode Introduce the plant heroes and zombie heroes, plants and zombies, as well as other characters from Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, Plants vs. Zombies 2 and Plants vs. Zombies 3 into the game, and adapt them to the battle mode on the TV terminal. These hero characters possess unique skills and attributes, which can add more strategic elements and fun to the game. Continuously update new features, such as launching new hero skills, battle maps, etc., constantly bringing a sense of freshness to players, attracting more players to join the game, and enhancing the game's long-term appeal and competitiveness. Addition of Hero Characters Add the plant heroes and zombie heroes from Plants vs. Zombies Heroes to the game, and they are 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 more diverse. 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 Ads and Payment Benefits of Watching Ads Support players to be permanently ad-free after watching 500 ads for free, and players can receive 1000 coins each time they watch an ad. This can not only provide certain benefits and rewards for players and encourage them to watch ads, but also meet the needs of those players who want to get rid of ad interference, improving players' game satisfaction. Optimization of the Payment Mechanism The coins, diamonds, and extra Goldfinger spent within a level can only be deducted when the level is won. If the level is failed, the coins, diamonds, and extra Goldfinger 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 Keys spent in the Z League, and the candies spent in other modes will only be deducted when the level is won; after failing the Boss level in Penny's Pursuit, players are allowed to try again. Such a payment mechanism is more fair and reasonable, reducing players' losses in case of failure and improving players' gaming experience. Optimization of actions after eliminating zombies • Once the zombie's head is knocked off, its body should immediately fall down. This can not only reduce the waste of fired bullets, but also enable pitcher-type plants to attack the next target instead of attacking the zombie's body, which is beneficial for improving efficiency. • After a zombie is eliminated by the bullets of Fire Peashooter, its body should turn into ashes instead of losing its head. • Standardize the animation time period for each zombie that turns into ashes simultaneously, making the visual effects more coordinated and comfortable. VI. Optimization of Levels and Items Level Victory Special Effects When a level is won, 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 accomplishment of victory and visual satisfaction. Adjustment of the Function of Gold Cards 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 won. If the game is exited halfway or failed, the Gold Card will not become invalid. This adjustment will increase the strategic nature and value of the Gold Card, allowing players to make better use of the Gold Card to turn the tide of the battle at critical moments. Bug Fixes Problems of Fire Peashooter and Torchwood Fix the problem that when a yellow fire bullet from Fire Peashooter encounters a blue Torchwood, it will not turn into a blue fire bullet, ensuring that ordinary peas will only be upgraded to a higher damage level when passing through the fire, and will not be downgraded, ensuring the consistency and rationality of the plant skills in the game. Attack Problems of Heather and Zombies Summoned by Dr. Zomboss Solve the problem that Heather will not attack ice blocks, and the zombies that are not fully emerged and summoned by Dr. Zomboss 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 when the shadows of multiple zombies or plants overlap, the shadow color will be deepened, ensuring the normal visual effect of the game screen and improving players' gaming experience. Visual Overlapping Problem of Multiple Fire Effects Fix the problem that when multiple fire bullets or other forms of fire overlap, the color of the fire edge will be deepened, ensuring the normal visual effect of the game screen and improving players' gaming experience. Level Music Problems in Different Worlds Previously, in the Chinese version, each world only had the standard level music, without special level music and mini-level music; now it is the opposite. The Chinese version has fixed this problem, but in the international version, each world only has the standard level music, without special level music and mini-level music. It is recommended to fix this bug immediately. Thank you! Problem of the Pause Button After Pausing Unable to Be Used Continuously When the pause button is clicked in a level, in the current version, it is not possible to click the same pause button again to continue the game like in the old version. Problem of the Disappearance of the Treasure Yeti Even after connecting to the Internet, the Treasure Yeti still cannot appear in any level, so it is impossible to obtain the rewards and achievements for defeating the Treasure Yeti. Problem with the Inability to Use the Resurrection Radish The Resurrection Radish cannot perform the resurrection operation on plants that have already disappeared. It is speculated that this may be caused by the fact that the Resurrection Radish is of too high a tier. Problem with the Display of the Plant Selection Interface For example: In the Rock Age, the Lily Pad should not be recommended for use, but the Lily Pad can still be selected and planted on terrain that is not suitable for the Lily Pad itself. For example: In the Pirate Seas, the Grave Buster should not be recommended for use, but the Grave Buster can still be selected... 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 exciting, 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!My screen freezes after clicked play in PvZ2 ios thailand
Hi EA Help, I’m having an issue with Plants vs. Zombies 2 on iOS. After tapping “Play,” the game doesn’t respond. Im currently playing in Adventure mode, I can tap “Penny’s Pursuit” and hear a sound, but nothing happens. I’ve reinstalled, restarted, and still nothing. Can you help? I tried to contact through your direct message 2 days ago i have my ea device id and player id if needed
Option to re-enable Dave and Penny's dialogues
Does anyone here know if it's possible to (re-)enable the pre-level dialogues between Dave and Penny after having completed the adventures? Some of those dialogues really cracked me up, and without them, the adventure levels just seem a little empty and tame.My resources in PVZ2 starts to multiply then crash itself?
Long story short, I was playing the game normally then log off for few hours and when I came back to play the game, my resources just multiplied (including coins, gems, mints, sprouts, fuels, and even points in arena) and when I close the app then return to the app, its just keeps multiplying. Few hours passed after I played the game then I take a break and when I reopen the game, the game is now crashing and won't let me play. I keep repeating like opening the app and still, it keeps crashing like it wasn't supposed too. I am playing in a really old phone (Version 8.1). I swear I did not cheat as cheating is unethical, maybe it's my phones fault? or maybe it's the servers fault? Please help me. This happened so suddenly and I am so lost right now as this game is my childhood as I started playing like 6 years ago and this account I've been playing for 4 years and now I can't even play it. What now?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.help with linking my account to restore my progress in pvz2 for ios
hey, ea, i sadly lost all of my game progress for pvz2 on my apple iphone 13 for ios, can you please help me to restore ALL of my lost progress for my pvz2 app on my apple iphone 13 for ios by linking my ea account to it, my email is [edit: email address removed] and my user's player name was user dave, also, my phone number is [Removed - EA_Barry] and my name is carys [Removed - EA_Barry]. So, please help me! Your very distressed friend, Carys [Removed - EA_Barry]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.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.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.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.
