I tried to play this game twice, and both times, after about 4min into the game, the frame rate dropped to about 1 frame per 2 seconds! Forcing me to quit the entire GW2 game to restore use of my Xbox. Please fix this ASAP!

You can literally just put down one sniper plant and that just instant kills everyone. How has nobody complained about this? lol Nvm it seems to be only a bug with the scaredy shroom. I got pretty triggered because my first 3 games involved nothing but players using them which is why i thought it was a major issue...still kinda is but it's still playable for the most part

@superxmario128 totally agree about the scaredy shroom man that thing just tears you apart with no problems. On a good note thanks to EA for removing the party characters and clearing the LAG because that was totally unbearable.

I like the Imp-ossible idea, but was it even *enjoyable* with Infinite Ammo? BBQ and Commando Corns are too good with this Crazy Mode. I know Z7 Imps have a huge advantage, but my fingers can wear out for firing rapidly. NEVER put Infinite Ammo for Super Mixed Mode when I can just get easy vanquishes as BBQ Corn.

This happens in any game mode where they have restricted the classes you can play and those classes contain Party Time variants. Near as we players can tell because most people don't have the Party variants, and they get unlocked for these particular game modes, they jump at the chance to play the Party Imp and Party Corn. What seems to happen is that the party variants have a lot of particle and light effects associated with them, with all the confetti, flash and glowing going on and if you happen to be in a portion of the map where the amount of all of these effects gets saturated your machine essentially chokes and the frame rate crashes. Players who weren't forced to try to render the over-saturation of confetti, flash and glowing keep playing and those choking on the rendering get stalled out. It's the only explanation which fits why it only happens on the Super Mix events which limit character selection while simultaneously opening up Party variants temporarily to those who don't own them already. I've learned to sit them out and wait until the next scheduled event, or at least wait until the people rushing to play Party variants ease up a bit later in the event.

Maybe that is the cause, but the second game when it happened, I was on the winter map in an area where I was by myself. I didn't see any party characters, frame rate just seem to stall out for no apparent reason. So who knows....whatever the cause, it needs to be fixed.

Managed to actually win as the imp in one game on the winter one. Though I think it was because they had less players. You get 15 stars I think.

Don't worry. Once you actually manage to play the new event all you will see is Scaredy Shrooms. 😞

edit: they also seem to have "fixed" the party character issue, by simply removing them from the event.

I think it's no more than 9 stars You get a minimum of 3 stars but for every garden you control, you get one additional star.

Yeah, your right. Don't know why I thought 15. In any case I think the imps seem to stand a better chance on the Winter map with all the sniping spots. They need to take out the pot plants first before anything else.

Everyone of us can write a "Thank You!" letter to Zeroxfusionz to show thousands of people how to abuse a bug to ruin a portal event.

The fact the the Scaredy Shrooms have become more effective than a Pea Gatling can be frustrating, I pretty quickly learned to scan the Garden from a distance and take them out from outside of their range before approaching the Garden itself.

If you pause long enough to check for them and remove them at a distance you'll experience a less frustrating time and the Imps get a better chance at success.

It's the first time i give up on getting the 50 stars after opening the 3 chests !

No one shoot the mushrooms.... everytime i got one down i got killed and when i come back there is a new one in the pot !

As much as i disliked the portal when we had 1 health and explosion, it was better than this !
