Any Garden Ops changes/improvements coming soon?

I am a bit unhappy with Garden Ops in Battle for Neighborville and I feel like you guys dropped the ball on that one. Less waves, only one defending spot to choose from per map, no map and difficulty...

@asabaida I'm on Xbox One and like I said, I generally don't have to wait more than a minute to get a full party when I join at the beginning of a match. Most of my issue with starting early are those who do it... then when I join, the objective is less than 50%. Yes, it's pretty easy most of the time with the right characters... but after this last patch, it's very difficult to do with some of the characters' nerfs. Also many of the Mega bosses are impossible without a full team... and even with a full team, some can't be done without people knowing what they're supposed to do.

As for leaving early, I try to get my dailies done ASAP. If a daily requires a specific character, I may quit because I can't play that character... but yes... if people start without waiting for at least 4 players to show in the lobby, then I'm usually gone. I think starting early is inconsiderate and selfish, but that's just my opinion. Each platform is different and has different results.

@AWMaxSterlingI can see your point of view, but I'm Xbox too (Europe) & there have been many times I've joined an Ops game with only 1or 2 other people & not only have we gone through the entire game without a 3rd or 4th joining, but sometimes another game or two after that as well . . . so I'd hesitate to call it selfish of people to start a game without a full lobby.

Yes, you usually find Ops has plenty of people but I think it depends on so many factors, like time of day & whether people are focusing on the weekly events.
Without knowing if people are likely to join, with knowing the playerbase seems to peak & trough and with most people having a limited time to play . . . 🤷‍♀️

I personally though, wouldn't start a game by myself if I'm the first in a game. I'll wait a couple of minutes & see if people join. If no one does, I'll leave & go do Ops in PvE.

I COMPLETELY agree though, that many characters now feel hard to use effectively in Ops since the last balance change & that's affecting my character choices and whether I play Ops for certain challenges 🙁

All these different issues just make me want the solo bot play we have in GW2 more & more . . . .
