Re: [Resolved] Change the Mystery Portal Rotation, Please!

@EA_Shepard I noticed that people have also mentioned that the community challenges are also required to get all the achievements.
So building on my original list, I think I've created a rotation that would make all the achievements obtainable.

January

February
Cats Vs Dinos

March
Brothers Knomus Boss Hunt

April
Community Challenge

May
Triple F Frenzy

June
Taco Panic

July
Sasquatch Boss Hunt

August
Farewell Taco

September
Soil Survivors

October
Spooky Squash Boss Hunt

November
Legends Of The Brawl

December
Yeti King Boss Hunt

What are your thoughts?

    @HieldankaGreat list. Only question is which specific challenge for the community since we're not as big as we once were. A simple vanqish players like when wallnut hills dropped or doing something like using toxic variants? We still want those only playing private play to still contribute unlike a vanquish real players challenge like for twilight chomper.

    @stukapooka i actually do remember playing the yeti king hunt once. But when i did, the king's fool fell off of the map and my team had to wait 5-10 mins before the slushie despawned. I also like your list @Hieldanka. I think it is a good list. For community challages, mabye it could be random community challenges and the requirements are less for yourself and for the yellow blue and red chests. I remember getting random people who put boss hunts on CRRAAAAZZZZY!! difficulty and then when the boss came out we would lose. I NEED THAT ACHIEVEMENT. I play on ps5 and i love this game. And we might get all of the modes back thanks to @EA_Shepard.

    @stukapooka Whichever community challenge is the easiest.
    I don’t think anyone really cares about how the community challenge achievement is obtained, we just want it to be obtainable.

    @goober183 While the possibility is slim the idea of the portal getting changed around December just in time for yeti king to team wipe unfamiliar players is pretty funny for me.

    @stukapooka Lol.

    I remember playing the sasquatch hunt with my dad, we had no idea on what to do during "hunger pangs inferno" and neither did our team because we lost the hunt. The next day we figured it out and killed the yeti king's very distant cousin. It is funny how the plant boss hunts (besides captian smasher) are cousins and they are opposite seasons and opposite attacks. (Yeti winter and ice, sasquatch summer and fire).

    @DeathBugg A small thing I also like is that you can find the sasquatch's broken cage in the Zomburbia zoo and that Yeti king bringing winter is why the zombies attacked gwn and the hunt makes the map a canon zombie W. It's just details like this that make the world of garden warfare feel connected.

    Also i do like how sasquatch's hunt gave us the sasquatch imp with their cute little hats and fire attacks. Yeah its technically a reskinned yeti imp but its really cool they gave us a mode exclusive enemy. Boss hunt should come back just so we can see these guys again.

    @stukapooka i remember when my brothers dad and i got pvz gw2 on cristmas 2017 (which is when we got out 1st ps4) we played the brothers gnomus hunt and it was fun. I appreciate how they put a gnome game mode inside the gnome portal and made it different than all the other bosses. I hate the chamion explode gnomes and i need to explode my anger all over them. I really hope that you guys, the ea team go with this updat soon. I miss all of these modes.

    @DeathBugg I have a pretty optimistic feeling they'll change it, especially because of all the traction this is getting. It would be amazing if we get to play Yeti King boss hunt for next month, then I'll finally be able to get my last achievement!

    @HieldankaI like your latest list the best, it has all the best modes, it has a community challenge, and the boss hunts are evenly distributed throughout the year. PERFECT!

    When I was a kid, I always wanted to play this game but didn’t have money for it. But in 2021, I got a series x and bought pvz gw2, when I first started it play it, it was fun. Then I realize that there were events in the mystery portal like cats vs Dino’s or boss hunts, like the videos I watched. Unfortunately, I noticed in that moment that they discontinued those game modes since 2020 and I was sad. And start questioning, why ea took away those game modes if they were part of achievements. So in this situation, we have a good point to ask to bring these game modes back.

    @Diegodudeperfect those modes were the best part of the game, no question. Boss Hunts was a 4 player boss fight, cats vs dinos was 2 giant mechanical machines fighting it out, and soil survivors was like a fortnite like battle royal. It was spectacular! Which is why we're so desperate for its return.

    @stukapooka Agreed, its truly unfathomable why they removed the boss hunts in the first place, but hopefully now they're coming back to fix it, and bring back the other great game modes as well.

    @DeathBuggThose guys were the worst taking away your abilities and letting you get jumped.

    The fact that every boss had an insta kill move under the right circumstances made every hunt pretty challenging.

    @DiegodudeperfectThat's a shame that you never got to play them and it's why we should change it.

    Imagine how shocked new players like those on steam would be to discover these modes and it would give gw2 some traction again with events to look forward to for groups to get together and play.

    I really hope this happens since most of the modes now are dull and can be set up in bot matches.
