Can not host group in split screen
We have a group of 4 that have enjoyed playing pvz2 together and would like to move to bfn. Currently we can not combine groups because both groups are split screen. Is this going to be addressed in ...

Good to see you around @ToastedSarnie ! Miss having you about the place (here and the GW2 forums that is).
As to the future, it does look bleak and no idea what's going on right now beyond being able to play all 3 games, but part of why I'm still around and posting is that I too want a new PvZ shooter so want to keep up at least some activity around the place!
Hope you got this split screen issue ironed out!
@Iron_Guard8 Luckily, we have a PS5 and still have the PS4 hooked up, so we lugged out a second TV, and hooked up the PS4 to that so we can play online with our other friends. Truly not the best solution, but hey it works.
And honestly, when you play split screen the interface gets so small that the font becomes basically impossible to read. So each of us having our own screen is nice. But having 2 TVs in the living room is not a long-term solution lol.
@ToastedSarnie Yeah I watched a lot of videos before getting BFN to see what the differences were and it seemed like the hardcore fans were way more into GW2, but BFN seemed like a good enough first game and we are loving it. It's incredibly accessible and an overall really polished game. I'm surprised it didn't do better.
But at the same time I'm not surprised because I never saw any marketing for it.. ever. I follow dozens of gaming sites online, I play PS4/5 daily, and I did not know this game even existed. Seems like EA sort of just put it out to die.

- @GentlemanYeti Yes, BFN didn't have the best of starts, sadly. With a bit more time beforehand & more fanfare at launch, it could've been a different story.
There's a lot I like about the game but I think my frustrations with it hit their peak around the time Covid started complicating life & much as I love the franchise, I opted for more stress-free gaming to try & hold onto my sanity 🤣
I think @Iron_Guard8 would confirm that later in the year the devs put through a huge amount of balance adjustments which meant the game is in a much better place than when I last played, so I hope you & everyone else carries on enjoying it - and fingers crossed the franchise continues 🤞
Have fun! @GentlemanYeti No problem then. I do wish this issue wasn't really a thing as it is so minor, but what can you do? Hopefully, little things like that will be sorted out if we see another shooter, which I really hope to. For now, enjoy playing the game, I still really like it! 🙂
