REBOOT IN PVZ 3 LORE
Everyone can be sure that the “pink version” will be the winner of the poll, for simple reasons: this style is so beautiful and reminiscent of comics that it would be crazy not to wear it! without forgetting that currently those who have given the most feedback and support to the PvZ franchise are its long-time fans who are already young adults, something like the “Green” and “Purple” versions will not attract everyone's attention. With that in mind, the “Pink” concept brings me good thoughts with an emphasis on something more adventurous in the plot so that the direction of the story can go beyond the confines of Zumburbia, based on this, I had some ideas such as a reboot of the PvZ 3 story. In PvZ 2 Crazy Dave and Dr. Zomboss made numerous trips to different times in history, leaving behind plants and zombies after leaving these worlds, which created several ramifications in space and time, thus creating new realities in which these two races have been part of these worlds since the past! one of them being from Garden Wafare. - "What does all this have to do with PvZ 3?" You see, this raises doubts as to whether “welcome to zomburbia” was really part of the original PvZ continuity line, as we could see that Dave's personality had a drastic change compared to that of PvZ 2 and there is nothing about what happened to Penny after these events, leading us to believe that it wasn't. This is just the tip of the iceberg that emerges when you dig deeper, but don't get me wrong, I don't hate that the theme is about the city's surroundings, on the contrary! It's beautiful and brings a new air of adventure that the franchise needed to bring after PvZ Adventures and I want it to continue. But is it really necessary to involve this? In my opinion yes and no, because neighborville is cool, but it would open doors so you don't get stuck in a limited standard like the second one. I know it won't be simple to bring together the two distinct themes into a single story, but I have the solution! In fact, the “pink” version may be the most interesting solution because the art style is reminiscent of the comics, and we know that all series have several editions with different story cores. My ideas for putting this in the game are: the story mode would be represented as comic book editions, you only have the first edition and when you finish one, another new story would be acquired at the end of your efforts or even two, one of them being a parallel alternative to the one we saw! with around 25 to 30 levels because this is an easier tactic than stretching the story out over 500 levels. This first edition could tell the story of Patricia and Nate at the Lost Keys Lake camp, where they were attacked by hordes of zombies and throughout the levels she tried to find out what was going on and find more plants in that environment like Lily Pad. As the story takes place without Dave, Patrícia only has common seeds at the beginning. Depending on the team's choices, the consequences of PvZ 2 could be better addressed in the future, regardless of whether this world is part of the continuity or not, as it would not be impossible to bring the concept of parallel universes that would make it possible to meet the original Dave and Penny or even meet versions of characters like those from the Spinnoffs, making this a direct continuation even if elsewhere. My reasons for writing these crazy things are with the intention of not letting such good things from the franchise be lost, just imagine seeing so many cool things with enormous potential being thrown away, isn't it sad? anyway, that's all. I hope it was useful! Goodbye!
zombies that pvz 3 should add

Title it as a spinoff (that's what everyone says anyways) Upgrade the zombie models to make it more similar to the concept art from the portrait cards (image attachments related) Completely adjust or remove the Damage Types system so that it's fair so you can actually make strategies Remove plant level requirements when it comes to Devour Tower Actually make the textures a slightly higher quality so that you can actually see the pupils of the zombiesHow to expand “Your house” area in PvZ 3

Additions the threat icon: so it is easier for players to play against and a reason to add zombies that benefit from those threats plant food and taco time level and map creator More plants and zombies rarities (not plant levels) remove/change lives system tutorials for literally everything Idk if you can but stop spawning all the zombies on one lane change the power ups to not be actual plants honourable mentions the option to swap grapes of wrath for a different ability Give the base designing mechanic maybe give different buffs depending on what we pickA better use for taco tickets
I got this idea in partly from the 2020 PvZ 3 version. Note only used for adventure and challenge levels doesn’t apply to multiplayer instead of paying taco tickets for the story mode we can use the taco tickets (and maybe other currencies like coins) to upgrade our block so we both can get buffs and the player gets to choose which ones they want ( all start at lv 1) most upgrades will be minor but every few upgrades you get a bigger buff this will come into effect later will players will have to choose which one they want to upgrade for example areas your house lv 1 10 gold an hour lv 2 unlock mo lv 3-4 additional 10 gold an hour lv 5 additional mo bit has a cooldown lv 6 shorter cooldown etc campground lv 1 10 gold/h lv 2 additional seed slot lv 3 1% seed cooldown lv 4 15 gold/h lv 5 additional slot etc sunnyfield farm lv 1 10gold/h lv 2 start the game with an additional sun lv 3 sun produces 2% faster lv 4 15 gold/h lv 5 start the battle with a sun flower etc ps you can replay levels that you already beat but cannot claim taco tickets againThings I would like to see in PvZ 3 pt 1/?
- vs mode and co-op mode -plant and zombie rarities (no plant and zombie levels) - boss/brainiac fights - plant food and tacobility - more plants and zombies - new rarity godly for both plants and zombies can only have 1 in your slots and on the field but have very powerful effects for example pea commander gives all plants 25% attack speed (including himself) and has a pea storm ability that shoots random peas like fire snow etc for 15 seconds. A zombie example: necromancer zombie, zombies in a 5x5 area around him turn into gravestones when defeated and his ability is to summon up to five zombies from gravestones. :downsides cost a lot and have long recharge and does not recharge when one is on the battlefield. Plant mythical has to be played on the 3rd column and zombie mythical on the 7th column
We deserve better than this.
I am thoroughly disappointed with PvZ3, and it doesn't seem like PopCap even marginally cares. You probably know me already, I'm RCCH and I post Plants vs Zombies videos on YouTube. And to be honest with you, I am quite baffled that a game like Plants vs Zombies "3" can even have its soft launch at a state as horrible as it is right now. It is incredible how this game, supposedly a sequel to PvZ2 somehow has none of what made PvZ good, in this game. I don't even care that the game sucks. That's fine, and no one is really pushing for PvZ3 to be released right now anyway. At least in its current state, it's not ready to be released. That's a certain fact, that the game sucks. The game has a sleuth of problems which I'm not going to go through again because I've already pointed out all the problems I had with the game in my first impressions video and just reiterating that is completely pointless. What I am concerned about is that it seems like the PvZ3 community managers don't communicate with anyone except on this forum. That is horrendous. Nobody uses the EA forums, and I see no response to any of the comments made on reddit, on twitter, or youtube. We're really trying to tell you guys about the problems with this game, and it seems like it doesn't work. And I don't think there's a reason for me to reiterate what everyone has already said about the game being bad, so I have a very simple request. Can the community manager properly communicate with content creators or the player base in a meaningful way to acknowledge that feedback has been heard? It's very simple. I just want to make sure as a content creator, that we can directly give any sort of feedback directly to a community manager and at least have a talk. And I know, that a lot of other content creators have the same comments as I do, and it would be of utmost importance that our feedback be heard because everyone wants this game to be good, but it doesn't seem like you guys care. If you guys actually do care about the playerbase, please have a chat with me by adding me on discord so that we can actually have a meaningful conversation about the future of PvZ3 and how to make it a better game instead of having to wait here and hope that somehow someone will reply and look at the forums. You can add me on discord via my username "rcchyt". Please and thank you. RCCH EDIT: And do not just say you can't message me on discord. Stop the cap. You thoroughly know no one uses the EA forums and you can't have an actual conversation on a forum.
