PvE Quest/Side-Quest Balance
I don't really have a question, just a general bit of feedback based on what I've played so far. I've bolded the main point for those that want a tl;dr or an easily digestible sound-bite, not to try ...

@Iron_Guard8 - yes, you can have your whole group with you in places like town center. Everyone can open the chests you find and everyone shares the rewards you earn.
I find the town center quests painfully difficult as single player. I did quite a lot of it in the alpha with another player who is very skilled, and it was just do-able During the alpha is was said that the quests were still being balanced and that the difficulty might be very high. Well, nothing seems to have changed from the alpha. I've eventually given up already on doing these quests for now.
The ability to set the difficulty levels for PvE like we have in GW2 would be most welcome. Right now, with the low damage output of many characters' primary weapons, I feel like I'm playing on craaazy difficulty.
I am glad to see that I am not the only one. I've stopped trying. The health is ridiculous on most of the characters including the screen zombies and the bosses are insane. I also did the beta and that was also my complaint. This is supposed to be fun. I miss being able to stir up trouble by going as a plant into the zombie base and running back out then going back in to plants as a zombie. 2 was so much simpler and quick. Although, I didn't own the game when they had the key system (I heard that was terrible). The last time I played Garden Ops on Normal though, I didn't make it to 10 and thought did they change the difficulty on this now also??? Why? I should be able to get through the quests alone or why can't I spawn friends like in 2. That was what was so wonderful about playing alone, you could pick your AI like crazy! and then switch between them which was ingenious. It also would be good if the Taco guy was at "home". I'm deviating, but please if possible make these quests possible or let me bring in AI. Its so boring to play alone.
I actually did most of the quests solo, and I didn't find most of them to be that bad. Though the Battle Chests are extremely difficult at higher difficulty.
I may be wrong about this, but I think enemy health increases with more players? I dunno. I just find it easier to kill some things when playing solo compared to split-screen. Treasure Yetis and Marigolds especially.
