Community Challenge
Do anyone know about you need to complete a whole garden OPS or only a round? We completed 9 rounds at it dosent count. The description of the event says every round counts. :-)

You've to complete 1 full round (1-10 waves) until extraction, this count as one.
Surviving the last boss wave and extraction point is definitely not easy for the crazy mode, but this's what the challenge about.
If you completed with 4 players, it will count as 4 for the community.
You can track the progress here real time (just keep refreshing your browser): It moves pretty slow.
I just did it with my little one. It's challenging for my little one, especially after wave 5....start getting intense.
As right now, it's only 12K, looks many players are kids and they're having a hard time to finish a full round.
I just played a late night round with Ohmyguts that was joined by a couple others. Enchanted graveyard, jackpot wave, and super boss wave yielded 55K coins, I've never seen a take like that before! I did a solo round earlier that only made around 22K.
Based on current pace, we only 17K/day, we won't even get the coins, don't mention special items.
Looks Popcap miss estimate :
1. Communities abilities to pass crazy (many are kids).
2. Number of communities in total (< 225K).
3. Should count waves instead of round to make it more doable.
- I agree and call me a conspiracy theorist but when I tried recently the boss waves has been all mega boss waves and the ones I hate the worst are the yeti and sunflower mega boss waves they nearly impossible to beat and it seems the programmers has enhance the AI for this challenge cause the normal AI is harder o kill. I'll have completed crazy mode for both plants and zombies and recall not having that much difficulty. I had made a post about to his event earlier and I think it should be waves not rounds and noticed last count was around 19k I don't think it will ever get done and it's sad because it's one of the other ways to obtain special stickers. And infinity and scrumptious items.and o. The note about kids yea I agree to a point my son is only 8yrs old and we both play and lol he out kills me every time so some kids are good and others may not know what they are doing other than having fun. So EA/POPCAP listen up make these challenges more realisticaly doable
Crazy level, all members need to be on top of it, so if 1-2 member down, it significantly increases the workload for remaining members, especially when have a super boss wave.
So I consider this community challenge as a failure since this one is not properly calculated by Popcap to be doable.
I will just use it to level up my character quickly....since this's the only time the community ever consider/try crazy garden ops.
Planting pots will help a lot to level up quickly since pot kill count as experience for the player planted it....now, I'm racing to plant it first 🙂
- Lol that's what we do and if we use chompers we will lay down spikeweed traps a distance away from the shooter pots and reapply if need and will last almost the whole entire session and rake in a lot of pot/bot kill XP the same goes for engineers place bots and lay down Sonic mines it'll slow em down with enough time for the bot to kill the plant.. and as for both plants and zombies if you plant a heal item a distance away like the colizeaum if you select A there is a lonely port at the gate and it never gets harder.. it's just a matter of letting others know if you don't have headsets.. I did however compile somewhat of a guide and the best possible maps and list of characters that's best used for crazy mode for both plants and zombies and it's a surefire way.. as long as there is no mega sunflower or mega yeti boss waves .. if you get any of these you might as well hang it up and just take the los cause it's impoossible. The NEC Rose is the only best rose cause sh has the jinx ability and does help alot with boss fights. Here I'll give a example on the plants when playing solo I use stuffy flower vampire flower a fire/electric/toxic chomper and nec rose and have beaten crazy mode with this set up or another is 2 nec rose a chomper and vampire flower. These two set ups I have used and was successful and it helps alot if the most are maxxed out and damage and health upgrades equiped. But with this being said every one's experience will different.
What was PopCap thinking when they came up with this? This community challenge is rendered impossible.
The three chest targets for this challenge are ten times higher than what they should be.
Frankly, I think EA should step in and approach PopCap about this community challenge. If the community fails to unlock even the yellow chest (a first for GW2), PopCap will be in serious trouble; never know what happens next.
- I agree and so I think if all players just not attempt it anymore and POPCAP sees this they should step in and change it to waves not rounds .
10 waves count as 1 round then. I just came to find that out.
I think somebody made a boo boo there, since most people don't know what they're doing.
Chompers against mega bosses isn't going to cut it, & sunflowers not healing won't get you to the end.
The best thing to do is to see what everyone else is using and try to pick something that helps out.
If there's no sunflowers, be a sunflower & heal everyone up, so long as it's not a triple chomper team - otherwise it's a surefire loss no matter what else you take in.
Take in a torchwood, if you have it, or use something with decent health and firepower.
Try to be something different to everybody else. Too many identical characters isn't necessarily a good idea.
Choose a super elite or master character & upgrade ammo, reload time, damage, overload or blast radius traits, it all helps.
Sadly, I had to give up.
Too many people hanging around in corners doing nothing, or losing their connections, rage quitting or picking characters that don't stand a chance.
This leaves the rest of the team with a decent character or two down & the weaker ones still in play, making it almost impossible.
I don't think too many people like putting down bots in a game they aren't hosting either, due to losing connection or sessions expiring and sending them back to the back yard, meaning they used them up for nothing, since you get no rewards if you're sent back to your yard early.
I agree with everyone else here, it should have been waves, not rounds of 10 and a successful escape.
We have problems with some of the boss hunts too, but that's another topic.
Unfortunately, it looks like most people have given up because they asked for too much this time around.
Just over 44,700 at the time of this post. I don't think we're going to make the first reward with just over 19 hours left.
