8v8 Discussion Thread
They have changed turf takeover to 8v8 to see what it’s like (for lag I bet) what do you lot think.

@spIash_damage Ouch! Don't be mean! You know perfectly well I wouldn't want to exclude anyone, least of all like-minded PvZ veterans. And 8 vs 8 could be fun, if everyone played their part in the team & team-swapping didn't exist. At the moment though that's a big issue & having fewer players can mean having even less playing the objectives. In 12 vs 12, it's not a critical issue if a couple of people are at the back sniping & making no move to attack, but in 8 vs 8 that makes it harder.
But I'm not going to further argue my point, because I'm not saying I'm right & you're wrong. I like your views & positivity & it really doesn't matter what I think, because as I've posted elsewhere, I'm done with PvP.

@ToastedSarnie don't give up on PvP yet! Maybe take a break for a bit, and wait for more improvements, especially for healing/reviving, but don't give up on it completely!
@spIash_damage I'll be reading through stuff more here in a bit. A lot of this was after I was in bed and am catching up now, traffic jam made me get to work later than normal, luckily I always leave early so am not late but did lose a lot of my 'pre-work browsing time'.
So after checking things here and playing a few games last night I'm still not 100% sure if 8v8 is better or worse. The worst match I've had in any PvZ shooter was last night and was in TT defending goopy gully as a foot soldier, but I can't automatically blame 8v8 for that as I don't have enough data to make an empirical conclusion.
What I did notice is that 8v8 feels empty with the huge maps in BfN, especially Loggy Acres. Dropping to 2/3 the number of players is significant and apparently getting mixed reception. I want to play more to see how it feels before making a decision. If the lag some people are having problems with was fixed for the matches separately from player count, we'd be able to make a more informed decision.
Basically, I want a larger sample size before calling it good or bad.
It’s all about the team play if everyone played as a team it will work great but how often do you get that.
