Why in the world would you add ONE character to this game in its current state?People are already upset that multiplayer is unplayable (due to Team Swap) so someone decides to release a character for one faction and not remove Team Swap?The game isn’t exactly symmetrical but did anyone slow down to realize how this will impact Battle Arena?! I feel like we’re all riding a bullet train stuck on autopilot and only the passengers see the track coming to an end. Seems like you guys (devs) are trying to run the player base away.EDIT: 😊

Thanks for the feedback, hopefully when we have more info on the exact role and powers of this new Zombie things will be a bit clearer.

Are you talking about the new zombie coming next couple of months? I presume so but checking I am not missing any new info.It makes no sense to add a character to one side only. Especially when it is the only character in 6 months. Can't understand the logic at all.

@shurikeninja I'm afraid they are going to say something like "Hes a zombie support, NOT OP!!! This won't hurt balance even more! No issue here!", which would be not only wrong, but also be ignoring the other plethora of issues that WILL arise from releasing a new character just for one team.Seriously, I think they could save themselves so much trouble if they just stopped to think for ONE moment before making drastic decisions like this. Literally any person could pick up on the issues that could arise from this.. Next thing we know they will release the new zombie for 9k rainbow stars (limited time offer only available for one week!!!), all our fears will be confirmed, and then they will go on Spring break or something before fixing anything heheh!......ehhhhhhh.........

@spIash_damage Worst part is that there's apparently an ice plant in the game files, similar to how wizard was in them. Dunno why popcap would only release wiz and not the ice plant as well, only putting out one character's just gonna create balancing problems galore. If I was in the shoes of popcap I'd just finish making both characters and send em out at the same time, rather than doing one after the other.

Developers WAKE UP - Add Two Characters, Not One!

@34975634954957 I am talking about the upcoming Zombie.

Take Battle Arena (for instance)... if you're making a RANKED mode where people can be a certain/given character ONE time per game, you can't have one team with more players than the other.... this is common sense.

Extrapolate this issue to make it more obvious; if the Zombies had 50 characters and Plants had 10, it would be very unfair. Having one more character to choose might not sound like much, if you don't play BA.... but.... one extra choice is HUGE when you're on rounds 5 - 7.

Man, I am so excited for iceberg lettuce. Was a favorite of mine from pvz 2

@Sammichu I think it's because they're still working on iceberg lettuce as wizard's animations/model is (for the most part) finished, but iceberg doesn't even have a model. Still I don't understand why they didn't work on them both independently.

Please, do NOT add any additional characters to BFN until the game's tedious nature - at every corner - is dealt with.

@SonicMaster92 What about all the bugs though? They still need fixing.

@spIash_damage Are you having the team swap issues only in Battle Arena? I don't mind'em at all in team vanquish or turf takeover (even though I dont play it anymore cause of the 8 v 8 change they did)

@spIash_damage I must agree with you on that point. By including a new zombie class BEFORE another plant class, rather than at the same time, lots of people are going to want to be on Zombies because of the new character and Zombies will have a huge advantage, then what might happen is when the new Plant is released, the exact same thing is going to happen, but with Plants gaining a huge advantage. They should release them at the same time, even if it would take slightly longer to implement. This encourages team swap to occur. If they released a new Plant AND a new Zombie at the same time, then there should be no issues!🙂

That’s what he meant (I believe) by saying tedious nature at every corner. 😊👍

Only when I played it (been a month or so now). Before games, most people would switch to be on my team. Every single game.
