EA Staff (Retired)@black_opREADYf1It's insane how easy a simple fixed rotation for the portal could be with the more special portals like boss hunt appearing in certain months. It makes me incredibly sad and angry that new and old players will never be able to 100% the achievements in the game.
I'm now worried about the pvz shooters as a whole (pvz 3 is somehow alive after all that has happened) as bfn reeked of a lower budget and development cycle and rightfully got backlash for its unfinished state but it still begs the question of what's going on behind the scenes and why they didn't just keep updating 2 or make a gw3 to begin with since bfn died so fast.
I loved the community challenge due to how fast they allowed me to unlock the legendaries and if I remember after wallnut hills came back the twilight chomper community challenge was done in one and a half day and the community only didn't fully complete one challenge.
I really appreciate the handful of modders for gw2 that are doing what popcap can or simply will not do to keep the mystery portal challenges around for players.
@black_opREADYf1I wonder why they went through with it as well since it clearly hinders achievement progression.
The chests went away with the weekly portals since they can't be bothered to create specifif challenges and are too lazy to just recycle old ones.
At this point anything would be better than nothing being done about these achievements and the content related to them.
@black_opREADYf1I think it's the devs imo.
Popcap keeps making baffling descions that are only hurting the series.
Sure EA may have something to do with it but popcap themselves admitted being in a lot of creative troubles before the EA buyout and there seems to have been budget cuts in mid 2017 explaining the overall lack of major content updates in gw2 before capture the taco after heroes released. They also layed off George Fan the creator of pvz.
Bfn seems to have only been made in 1 year at max and this was after a single player pve game was scrapped and its team was blended with the bfn devs which explains why the pve is the most functional and content rich part of the game. It was also strange to move from the gw series to bfn but given that bfn seems to be made on a lower budget things like variants being removed makes sense as its less effects, animations, and models to create and therefore saves money ( alot of assests were heavily reused in bfn as well but just remember this is my theory so anything's possible at this point). It was even made by the gw team so the disconnect feels even stranger.
Games receiving support years after the official end of support are indeed very rare.
