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.

@AWMaxSterlingPlayers who start a game straight ahead I would neither call inconsiderate nor selfish. It's just a result of Ops being way too easy. It always can happen that an Elite Boss won't die due to a lack of players. But it's at the end of the round when the health of the garden/graveyard-thingy doesn't matter anyway. On the way to the final stage players can leave anytime as players can hop into the game.
I don't think it's a big deal to start the game without waiting for a full lobby since the game will sooner be in the final stage - the only stage which is worth to be played imho. And if a Boss is too strong: it happens. I'm so used to changing lobby sizes during the game that I don't even bother anymore.
Ops needs Phase 3 sooner than later. If then someone starts the match with an empty lobby in the hardest difficulty level I call it inconsiderate and selfish but not in the current state of the mode which is just a joke.
