Why did you made PvZ3 bad again after it finally starting to look good?
I cant explain how frustrated i feel right now. This game finally looked like it could be good! I had hope, everyone had hope! Pvz3 was no longer a game that exists just to be hated on. The plants were fun, the gameplay was better, there was strategy now. The main relevant problems to this post holding the game back were the existance of leveling, artificial difficulty via zombie modifiers. Fix this, the game might actually be solid!
And you guys listened to our feedback... and... made the problems worse???
You replaced the already annoying zombie modifiers that introduce artificial difficulty with straight up zombie leveling. Why? Now its even more required that we level up our plants, which loads of people hate. This was one of the things everyone hated about the original PvZ3 where you needed to grind and level to progress. Well it gets worse since you made it significantly harder to level up plants... back to the grind 2019 PvZ3 that everyone disliked? You know the main reason (besides removing sunflowers) that loads of people hated that game was because of the plant and zombie leveling? The artstyle wasnt good, but a fun game can be fun with a bad artstyle. History exists so we dont repeat our mistakes. You guys really gotta revise in history class. Why are we re-introducing the mechanic that ruined the original PvZ3?
This "Survey" you guys gave isnt for making the game better, isnt it? Asking for how much you make, asking how many children you have in this household? I now understand the purpouse of the Plant leveling question. Many people must have said they dont use plant leveling much/whatever it was, so your guys responded by making it mandatory.
Please, im only this frustrated because i had hope for this game in the first place. Its very clear you guys are following some sort of instruction on "how to make a mobile game that makes tons of money". For a game to make loads of money, it needs to be actually fun, especially if its tied to a franchise like plants vs zombies. Everyone i know nowadays sees the PvZ franchise as washed up and irrelevant. Nobody checks out the new PvZ games anymore besides the loyal fans who stayed with you for so long that you keep betraying. Notice how no big youtubers or anything bat an eye at PvZ anymore? To them, PvZ is lost.
There are a few good things in this update like making plants easier to unlock overall, but this is insignificant considering these leveling changes, and the fact teir 2 plants are harder to unlock to compensate.
So, Popcap, can you please make the game good? Happy customers are more likely to spend money on the game. The happier the customer, the more likely they will spend money on things like cosmetics. The happier the customer, the more likely they are to tell a friend. You see how making a good game acts as free advertising? When this version of PvZ3 released, loads of people advertised how this one is actually pretty good. This is what you are missing.
