Forum Discussion
Pessimistic Mode: Off. Come on everyone, let’s keep going, we can do this. The more signatures we can get on that petition, the more likely EA will take notice. Let’s rise up and try and get this petition spread to as many places as possible. If this fails though, like @DoctorDap stated, well at least we tried!
At least @Gormey enriches his negative posts with humor (you'll reach the top xp leaderboard place, I believe in you 🙂).
@DoctorDap Thank you for all the work you put into this 🙂. I'l continue to do what I can to support the petition. Just make sure you get your school and family stuff sorted out and prioritize it over your forum activity 🙂.
@TheSprinter85 Thank you for making a positive comment after all of the negative ones.
- 6 years ago@benn1nat0r Sorry if I've been largely negative about this whole thing. EA has kinda ruined me because they've been ruining games I like since Battlefront. I really want this petition to succeed but don't see it happening. Regardless, BFN is still a great game. Saying it's dead and GW2 is just better wasn't the best thing to say (and kinda hypocritical) which I have to apologize for. But that's what EA wants besides money. So again, if I come out as largely negative, I'm sorry about that.
Even if this petition goes nowhere, it'll at least show support for the franchise. That's important so developers know they have a remaining audience and can try to make it even better than it was before. Whether or not this continues BFN's development, the franchise has a better chance of continuing. So whoever came up with this petition and those who support, you're helping to preventing this franchise's death.
(Hopefully that was something positive from me once from this thread.)- 6 years agoThe plants vs zombies franchise on consoles is varied, which is good for it, having different types of features in its games allows there to be options for each hobby, we must not allow ourselves to be divided as some garden warfare 2 players claim, I guess they are not fans, they are just opportunists who received the gift game on xbox gold or ps plus, and are destroying promising gaming communities. We must promote that the diversity of game options in plants vs zombies makes us better services for the community on consoles. The fact that every time we play battle for neighborville online, and we see players who bought a lot of skins, it means that they just enjoy the game, and they don't make life miserable like some people criticize anything innovative.

@Fork_x_Spoon Thank you for the reply 🙂!
I didn't want to sound too negative, I just thought we had enough negative posts already. Having said that, I understand why you feel this way. I was extremely disappointed after EA bought PopCap. On one side, the acquisition baled these ambitious 3D PvZ games to exist. On the other side, they made the original PvZ free to play and locked away my mini games from me with an update, even though I paid for them.
And it's fine if you like gw2 more. I was just confused, because I saw many people say they'll play gw2 now, considering BfN is dead. This made no sense to me, as the game is being overrun by cheaters and has a smaller player base. You don't need to apologize. And as you said, it is nice to see the community act as one and show love for the franchise as a whole 🙂
@Seavolcan I agree we shouldn't divide ourselves. After all, we're all united in a way, because we all love PvZ. There are many people here who prefer gw2 and say so often, but that's not really a bad thing in itself. I think the largest portion of people who said stuff like "Let's boycott BfN so it will be canceled and a gw3 will be made!" are on Reddit.
@iluminatethesky Thank you!
I'm still very active in the community, because I only joined 1 and a half months or so ago. Even though the community activity might slow down after the announcement, it's still nice to discuss PvZ with all the lovely people here 🙂! I also try to report as many bugs with footage I have collected as possible. It might help, considering we will still get bug fixes. I'll also try to collect feedback on the bots and help the remaining devs tune them with my pinned thread.
I guess I'll also remain here because there is no PvZ game with active content support available in my country (I don't count PvZ 2 anymore, Penny's Pursuit didn't add much). I hope PvZ 3 will see an international release soon.
I hope Iceburg Lettuce could be released, since it's nearly finished, but I'll remain pessimistic. Maybe another team can continue the PvZ shooters? Seems unlikely, but one can only dream ... .
Anyway, thank you for your posts and have a nice day 🙌

@benn1nat0r Well, if another shooter was released at some point, that would be most pleasing to the community, it gives EA a chance to start over. Remember, their first 2 PvZ Shooters were really good. They should give it another chance. The reason why I am still trying to save the game is mainly because as a backup for if the chances for another shooter reach virtually zero.
- benn1nat0r6 years agoSeasoned Ace@TheSprinter85 I really wish another pvZ shooter were made (even though I still want them to finish Iceburg Lettuce for BfN). They could just take BfN as the foundation and add some more content to it, as well as improving it with some core mechanics like damage drop off. I feel like they could continue the story by saying the zombies won the Battle For Neighborville, because Iceburg Lettuce was captured by them. It would be extremely cool (in my opinion) if such a game were called "PvZ GW3: Save Neighborville" or something similar. It would acknowledge our efforts to save BfN while being closer to the gw series. It's first mission could be to infiltrate a zombie hq to rescue Iceburg Lettuce.
