Hybrid mergers 🌿🍃
While conducting the seedling test, I quickly noticed a basic rule: you cannot merge one hybrid with another. But why? Perhaps it's a way to organize so that each tier has its corresponding number, but I believe this only hinders growth, because some of these plants acquire a specific appearance and ability that cannot be recreated in other fusions. 🍃🌿🌾🍄 Variants 🍄🌾🌿🍃 Imagine that currently there's Numbing Cabbage, which is composed of three base plants, but in the future a fusion is released between only Umbrella Leaf and Bonk Choy, which will have other variants that will be used in different ways! Therefore, fusing it with a Tier 2 Iceberg Lettuce wouldn't make sense because it would lead to the same result. But... If you fuse a Spikeweed with an Umbrella Leaf, the result can be a Cactus or a Blomerang, which doesn't even compare to the projectiles launched by a Snow Conifer, even with the addition of ice, it still doesn't look right. Allowing these changes enables you to utilize the potential of two hybrids with unique appearances and abilities, resulting in specific benefits such as: 🌿📌 Change #1: Hybrids that combine a common ingredient don't require a pure plant for fusions; it's like being able to fuse a Water Chestnut and an "electric nut" to make an Tazel Nut. 🌿📌 Change #2: Tier 3 can now consist of a maximum of 4 basic plants, while tier 4 Heroes have a rule of up to 5, and the price will remain reasonable. 🌿📌 Change #3: Pure varieties are only used for merging with hybrid varieties in order to impart attributes that strengthen them, such as the height of the Tall-Nut. 🍃🪷🌱🍁🧬 Hybrid fusion 🧬🍁🌱🪷🍃 If this is done, I think some plants will need to be relocated to make sense, right? One of the first things I thought of was solving the problems with the Snow Conifer! The new formula works like this: 🌿📌 New recipe: 🍃🌱 Pine Needler + "Icy Umbrellas" = Snow Conifer 🌱🍃 Using Pine Needler makes the attacks and final appearance make more sense, while the other fusion, composed of Umbrella Leaf and Iceberg Lettuce, would give it the snowy tree look.

[Feedback] Community Problems With PvZ 3
This post is designed to highlight, and inform the reader about the critical flaws present in Plants vs. Zombies 3: Welcome to Zomburbia, and for convenience, this is split into multiple sections. GAMEPLAY Strategy Strategy - “a plan of action or policy designed to achieve a major or overall aim.” Choosing Your Seeds Strategy is not present in PvZ3, and is caused by denying the player to choose their seeds. The reason strategy worked in PvZ1 and PvZ2 was because the player learnt and adapted to new threats at a consistent rate. (New plant after every level) For example, Balloon Zombie is first encountered in level 4-3. The player isn’t left defenseless, because they receive Cactus when level 4-2 is completed. The player already knows what to expect from Cactus with the small almanac description that was visible when they were collected, but the player is still allowed to experiment with Cactus and how they function. In PvZ2, strategy is present even more with the player adapting to zombies and brand new world gimmicks, like dinosaurs in Jurassic Marsh for example. Level objectives were a factor in how a player would strategize certain levels, which are also missing from PvZ3. Endangered plants, mold colonies, etc., these involved changing your loadouts in account, and created a more diverse gameplay loop that wasn’t too repetitive. Locked & Loaded (A PvZ2 mini-game that had your plants pre-selected, identical to PvZ3) had strategy to it because it forced the player out of their comfort zone to try a different play-style, or try a plant you haven’t unlocked yet. It didn’t punish the player when it came to losing, and losing is part of life. You don’t win every level, and the player can always try again without punishment in Adventure Mode. In PvZ3, the game actively punishes the player for losing with the 5 life system (this has its own section, covered in more detail), which can result in players being afraid to experiment with trying anything new. Difficulty Difficulty is subjective, and this will not highlight balancing, but rather how PvZ3 attempts to challenge the player’s skill. PvZ3 holds the player’s hand throughout the majority of the levels, not allowing them to experiment with any of the tools provided to them, and is instead forced to play how the level designer wanted them to, which creates a lack-luster and uninteresting experience. Multiple times throughout PvZ3, a level can feel unfair. Zombies will be spawned repeatedly in the same lane, making it impossible for plants to deal with them, thus they overwhelm your defenses, which makes the player: Spend coins to blow the zombies away and regrow their defenses. Use a power-up Give Up & Retry 1) This makes PvZ3 pay to win. If you can pay in-game currency for ALL zombies on the board to be sent back to the beginning, that is an advantage. Additionally, this feature was available for free in PvZ2 with the plant Thyme Warp. 2) Power-ups should not be required for completing levels, but rather as a crutch if the player is struggling, similarly to how PvZ2’s power-ups function. Power-ups in PvZ2 are occasionally handed out to the player through Piñata Parties and gift boxes, which let the player confidently use it, without the worry of trying to preserve it, and were cheap to buy if the player desperately needed to use one mid-level. Power-Ups PvZ3 has Cherry Bomb, Jalapeño, and Chilly Pepper behind a “power-up” system, and you’re only able to use them a limited amount of times. This ruins the consideration of what instant-use plants the player needs to bring to the level. In PvZ2, there are many instant use plants that all perform different things, and you can’t bring them all. With there being no instant use plants available, this layer of strategy is gone. Level Design PvZ3’s levels forget what made PvZ1 and PvZ2’s enjoyable, and it’s due to those games giving you time. In PvZ3, multiple zombies can spawn at the start of the level, and rush the player into having to make sudden reactions to deal with these threats. This isn’t fun, it’s annoying. One of the enjoyable parts of PvZ is seeing your defenses grow, considering it takes time and effort to manage the single zombies that slowly show up, coming in more numbers as time goes on. I can only imagine the levels are designed like this to retain low player attention spans. Players might not stick around during levels, and that’s fine. PvZ2 (Used to) let you save mid-level to do something else and return another time. Trying to make hyper-fast levels doesn’t work when PvZ1 (and to some degree, PvZ2) was a fairly slow but not snail-paced game. Monetization This isn’t ridiculing PopCap for having monetization in a mobile game, as they’re a business and you have to make a profit in some way, but how PvZ3 does it is astoundingly bad. Though, microtransactions should not be in a soft-launch that is designed for feedback. It gives the impression that feedback isn’t your main priority, but to profit off the game as soon as possible. I’m not a business major, but I’m trying to come to a middle ground to what feels fair to the consumer (players) and producers (PopCap). Why PvZ2's (Initial) Monetization Method Worked To put this in easy to understand terms, let me describe PvZ2’s Adventure Mode plants and Premium plants as Skylanders figures. The ones available from the start are capable of beating the game, but you can go out of your way to purchase additional figures if you want more toys to use in-game. If the player wanted a premium plant but were unsure of how it functioned, they could play the Premium Plant Quest to experiment. My point here is that PvZ2 offered unique content at a relatively low price, which was a motivator and reason to purchase. PvZ3 doesn’t have any motivators to its microtransactions, due to it offering nothing substantial. Coins & Power-Ups The only thing the player can purchase directly are coins and limited time offers, which is a major problem. Coins can only be used to purchase power-ups and blow zombies away if you lose. For players that are stingy with their power-ups or intend to not use them to have an organic experience, PopCap is unable to market to those players. There isn't a real incentive to buy these due them ONLY being power-ups, there isn't any content behind them unlike PvZ2's premium plants, which was new content. 5 Health Mechanic The 5 life mechanic is one of the worst features in the game. Even if you made it paid to regain lives, it’s still not worth it. This game doesn’t offer enough for the player to spend coins OR real money in exchange for lives. This is the worst mechanic in gaming history, why would you purposely take away the ability for your players to play your game? This feature ruins the casual aspect of the game as players that struggle are unable to make mistakes without suffering drastic consequences, unlike PvZ1 and PvZ2 which were incredibly forgiving by allowing you to try again at no cost. Story This isn’t a critique about the story, but aspects surrounding it. Priorities PvZ games always had a story that wasn’t directly present to the player. Crazy Dave goes back in time to eat a taco again, Dr. Zomboss captures Suburbia, and renames it to Zomburbia, they weren’t extensive stories but a small setting to ease the player into the places they visit. PvZ3’s main marketing focus is on the story, which is not a bad thing on paper, but it seems to take PopCap’s priority over the gameplay. Every Beta since September 7th, 2021 has had similar gameplay identical to the previous beta, but with different characters and dialogue. PopCap needs to change their priorities to focus the gameplay instead of the story if they want to make a game that feels fun to play. Taco Tickets Taco Tickets are a reward you receive when you complete a level, and are used to progress through the story. It’s identical to the progression system of Gardenscapes’, and it’s not needed in a PvZ game. PvZ2 had a story that was conveyed through dialogue between and before levels. Taco Tickets only complicates this, and should be handled differently to serve an actual purpose. Furniture For some reason, PopCap really wants to push the furniture aspect seen in Gardenscapes in this game. PvZ1 and PvZ2 have never focused on decorating, so it's very out of place in marketing. We're not against the decorating concept, but it appears to be one of PopCap's main priorities considering it appeared consistently throughout old feedback surveys instead of questions about what we think of the gameplay. Conclusion We want PvZ3 to succeed. We want this game to push the franchise to new heights and allow for more, bigger opportunities, but this will only happen if PopCap accepts that this version is greatly flawed, and makes a product people want.

Pirate’s Cove: be careful of the pirate ambush that can occur and also be aware of zombies shooting cannonballs and/or imps at your plants during their pirate raid and finally be careful of zombies wielding swords and hooks to attack your plants Space Station: be wary of zombies invading from other planets and wield some strange powers such as taking damage for other zombies having cosmic powers to summon buffed zombies and using lower gravity to their advantage. Pet Palace: be careful of the zombified animal s that are running rampant here and also the zombie trainers who can tame them for their benefit either by pushing plants into other lanes pushing zombies forward etc. Ancient Castle: be cautious of zombies wielding dark magic such as turning weak plants into gravestones and turning knight statutes into knight zombies also being able to give other zombies a crazy amount of speed and/or health as a final be careful of trebuchet and traps to weaken your defenses Trainyard Station: be aware of trains that can appear and destroy all plants and zombies on the track but when it stops it releases a bunch of zombies holding crates that block projectiles that block shots but break into wither sun coins or imps when broken also while zombies can’t pass the train when it is stopped the train does have insanely high health and can protects certain zombies that can benefit from long range abilitiesPvZ 3 Location Mechanics/Gimmicks Part 3
Haunted Forest: be cautious of all the monster zombies that can spawn such as demons, werewolf’s, vampires, ghosts and even the return of skeleton zombies but also watch out for the darkness moon transforming most regular zombies into powerful zombie beings and watch out for falling trees and branches that can damage both plants and zombies. Withering Fields: these fields can contain water that overtime become contaminated with poison as the level goes on that can damage and weaken your plants overtime and slowing normal zombies also watch out for poison mists that will poison a bunch of your plants if not blown away in time and even worse many zombies are immune to the chemicals and some zombies can even use it to boost themselves while in this zombie poison Abandoned Ruins: in the ruins golden statues will spawn and upon being destroyed will get you sun and/or coins but be aware destroying these statues have a chance to release booby traps to halter your defences and also zombies have found abandoned relics with strange and strong powers such as permanent health and/or speed buffs (for the duration of the level) and even able to slow down the rate of seed packet cooldown and even make plants cost more. Mystery Mines: these mines contain mine-carts which can be use to move plants around but also crystals and vases can be found here crystal are dropped when certain zombies die and when destroyed it gives either the plants or zombies a buff for 30-45 seconds vases spawn overtime during the level which when broken can spawn either zombies or gives plant seed packets or sun (be aware the vases break automatically after 30 seconds) Construction Zone: be careful of heavy machinery that are operated by zombies that can either push plants back carry zombies forward and even zombies can use tools to their advantage like jackhammers and construction signs also lots of craters and destroyed tiles can occur so bring plants that can repair tilesPvZ 3 location mechanics/gimmicks part 2
Sportz Arena: be cautious of both swarms of sport zombies and zombies being buffed with either energy or protein drinks increasing either health or speed during the level also be cautious of the zombie coach who can continuously keep calling on more zombies if still alive also be careful of sport items being either thrown at plants or used as barricades to distract plants Science Labratory: Jetpack attack(s)and zombies swapping to random lanes due to portal creation can happen but there are zombies here with strange abilities like being immune to plant effects like butter or chilling. Able to create special tiles to help zombies either teleport closer or lots of inventions being able to put up a Forcefield to protect other zombie and/or weapons to slow/stun your plants So plants that can push back zombies are recommended also plants that can remove and status effects Taco Park: you unlock tacobility which can be used to boost your plants but be warned there are zombies that can use it against you there are taco imps who is practically invisible to most plants but drops a taco when defeated and also zombies who can absorb the boost from the taco and give it to other zombies also be cautious of pigeon swarms so pierce/splash damage plants are recommended. Stormy Shores: be careful of rising tides and even tidal waves them at can push zombies forwards and push your plants back also be wary that lightning strikes can occur destroying zombies and non electric plants and stunning all plants and zombies in the water depending on where the lightning strikes but some zombies will use this to their advantage by either absorbing the lightning to use against you or controlling where the lightning will land also during the level it will start getting darker and darker so at the final wave the screen will be pitch black and only bright plants and lightning will help you see the map Hungry Plaza: during the level bits of food and drinks will spawn that can benefit both plants and zombies for a small period of time but we warned some zombies have way of either contaminating the food overtime or throwing food at plants that can weaken them over time or give zombies buffs also some zombies can consume food to boost themselves in a massive way so plants that can remove buffs/negative effects are recommendedPvZ 3 location Mechanics/gimmicks part 1
In my previous posts I explained what the locations are and how upgrading them can benefit you now I will explain what can happen in each location Solar Greenhouse: solar storms can occur here which causes more sun to fall also plants can use that extra sun to heal themselves but be careful as having too much sun can be bad by having zombies gaining benefits the more sun you have by either stealing it to boost themselves draining it over time gaining health when sun is collected or stopping sun from being produced at all Corrupted Graveyard: Gravestones can appear at the start of the level and can appear overtime either being created by other zombies or just spawning naturally while some graves can help you by giving you sun when destroyed others can be annoying by having extra health by being fortified also if graves aren’t destroyed in time zombies can come out of the graves. Also be aware of zombies being able to revive either themselves or others. Z-Tech Factory: lots of heavy armored zombies can be found here so be cautious of sudden swarms of buckethead and screen doors spawning but also be aware of certain mech spawning that can either launch both missiles and imps at your plants or give protection to other zombies so try to take them out as quickly as possible but be warned of zombies able to create and repair armor so heavy damage plants are recommended Foggy Valley: fog spawns in right as the levels and slowly moves forward as the level progresses but be careful because zombies are using the fog to their advantage by not being able to be attacked while in the fog and some even having abilities from far away zombies will also use this to advantage by either creating more fog or being able to switch lanes while in the fog as a bonus some zombies will be invisible to most plants unless it is attacking so use plants that can see or attack through fog Frosty Mountain: be careful of icicles that can fall down and damage and chill both plants and zombies but also releases into shards when broken which does less damage but can also chill plants and zombies next door also zombies have used the ice and snow to their full advantage by either being immune themselves making a zomboni to be able to crush plants and chill plants when destroyed or being able to speed themselves up also zombies being able to freeze other plants from far away so fire plants are recommendedPvZ 3 Location Ideas Part 3

Most of the ingredients I mentioned are still great, while others not so much, but after all, not all plants need to be bases, although I was controversial when talking about a possible replacement for Hypnoshroom, it's unlikely that many people wouldn't find its absence strange, just as they find the absence of many plants from the first game strange in other places... so thinking about it again with a clear head, here are some more fresh ideas for you. 🍃🫧💐🍄 Hypnoshroom 🍄💐🫧🍃 🌿📌 So now, with Imp Pear's suggestion for magical plants, Hypnoshroom can be the result of fusing a Puffshroom/Sunshroom with her, acting as a zombie transformed by magic. 🌿📌 So the closest way to summon Zomboids is by fusing them with a Tier 2 Squash, thus creating the type of parasitic pumpkin that jumps on Zombies to create something similar to these monsters that are so common in the media. 🌿📌 Merges: 🍄💐 Hypnoshroom + Twin Sunflower = Hypnoflower 🫧🍃 🍄💐 Hypnoshroom + Pushywillow (#2) + Cattail (#3) = Caulipower 🫧🍃 🍃🔥🐉🌿 Dragons 🌿🐉🔥🍃 🌿📌 There is no replacement for the Snapdragon at the moment, but the solution remains the same: "just fuse a Tier 1 'Cattail' with the Chomper and it would work," mainly because in its normal form it attacks by spitting piercing grass in a 3x2 area and has a bonus of biting zombies that approach. (That sounds cool, right?) 🌿📌 Merges: 🐉🍃 "Grass Dragon" + Torchwood = Snapdragon 🌺🍃 🐉🍃 "Grass Dragon" + Winter Greens = Cold Snapdragon 🌺 🍃 🐉🍃 "Grass Dragon" + Lightning Reed = ZapDragon 🌺🍃 🐉🍃 "Grass Dragon" + Grimrose (#2) = Dragon Bruit (Redesigned plss) 🌺🍃 🍃🐉 "Grass Dragon" + Starfruit (#2) + Plantern (#3) = Dark Matter Dragonfruit 🌺🍃 🪄📜🍃🌿🔮Witches 🔮🌿🍃📜🪄 🌿📌 Following the logic of what was done for Hypnoshroom, for plants that cast spells there need to be two middle grounds between the abilities, which would probably again include "Tier 1 Cattail" with some other magic plant, such as Imp Pear, for something that is a kind of witch. 🌿📌 Its visual characteristic is that of a flower. 🌿📌 Merges: 🪄🍃 "Witch plant" + Seedling (#2) = Witch Hazel 💐🍁 🪄🍃 "Witch plant" + Aloe (#2) = Briar Rose 💐🍁 🪄🍃 Briar Rose + Poison ivy (#3) = Agent Rose 💐🍁 🪡🌾🍁🪴 Vines 🪴🍁🌾🪡 🌿📌 So for vine-type plants, Whipvine should be the focus of your breeding... But perhaps to specify what you want, a plant could help you plant wherever you want, and maybe that's where the opportunity for a fusion with Seedling, which would guarantee seeds for your use, from which you could do some extra fusion to determine what type it should be.🌾🏵️🍁 Merger concepts 🍁🏵️🌾
