Maybe if Zack said that he would like to play Boss Hunts again, maybe that'll get them to do something?
@SamPlaysPvsZThat would be good. If he keeps on posting PvZ GW2 content, people (and our help) should comment about Boss Hunts and Cats vs. Dinos potentially returning to let him know!
- @matchattaxmad I think thats a point. We have a big community that can fire these threads. Zackscottgames would also be a great factor to this haha. And i think he will be posting GW2 once a week. Which is great!

Speaking of, I have brought up ZackScottGames multiple times to Nick and the rest of the team. Since he has done so much with the series, I wanted to see if getting his videos more involved would be possible.
This is beyond anything I have control over so if it happens I won't know right off the bat, but he has been mentioned a few times due to all those videos!
I watch a lot of his videos on Super Mario Bros. since we play a lot of these games on Switch too. They are great videos!
- VariableCell2 years agoNew Vanguard@Ekefjard Yes, I think it’s a big community for the age of the game😉 I always get full lobbies on Xbox! Do ya get big lobbies on PS too?

- VariableCell2 years agoNew VanguardHave you guys heard? GW2 is getting some new kind of anti cheat. Saw it on the floral federation dc and Fujj just posted about it on YT, and I would assume that this is a big step forward for the franchise. So there will be no cheaters and hackers from march 2024 if I heard it right. Cheers

Hey All,
So yes, GW2 is getting an Anti Cheat added to the game as per Braddock's amazing post Here!
I meant to update the threads with it. I'm super excited to see this help with all the ban issues happening on PC.
This is a very large and active community and the more you make your voice heard, the more change happens!
With Braddock, myself, our CM Nick, and EA_Cath, we are continuously trying to get updates for everyone now and be way more engaged within this super amazing community!
Keep making your voices heard!
Cheers!
@EA_ShepardThis is absolutely amazing news! It is just great to see the hacking and cheater issues on PvZ GW2 PC solved and finally fixed! The next important step to do now is to change the Mystery Portal rotation to include Boss Hunt, Cats vs. Dinos, and Community Challenges to let us players obtain the last remaining unobtainable achievements in this game! #bringbackbosshunt

@EA_Shepard How will the new anti cheat affect client side only mods? Or mods that don't affect multiplayer? Also will it be coming to the other PvZ shooters in any capacity?

Hi @DeadEggplant, so we technically dont support mods because those mods are not officially made by the publishers of the games. If anti cheat picks up mods and bans the account, that player still has to go through TOS. That one is a bit out of our hands because we don't support them.
As for future games, it has been brought up of course because of Neighborville and other platforms but no official word if or when it will be introduced into other games within the series. - KillahNinja12 years agoSeasoned Newcomer
Hey @EA_Shepard!, long time reader first time reply-er, if there is hope for another update, no matter the size, please put in a word to increase the size of private play lobbies, me and my friends play all of the time, but we have to exclude people because the lobby is already full.
Cheers!
@Ekefjard I also get full lobbies on Xbox when I play Garden Warfare 2 and Battle For Neighbourville, but Nintendo Switch version of Battle For Neighbourville is my main, and we also get full lobbies, I started a thread to get the Unicorn Stuffy hat for Switch players after I saw in the Switch version even though it is not possible, I've shown a photo I took whilst playing and shown everyone here and @EA_Shepard has seen it too, here it is again for everyone, I also included a pic of a skin for Super Brainz that is unobtainable but somehow this player has both, us Switch mains want the Unicorn Stuffy hat, Crown Of Indifference and Judge Z outfit, that was obtainable for pre-order on Switch, we were never told about a pre-order bonus which is why we're asking for the Deluxe edition on Switch, I hope you all can help me and my fellow Switch players to get these available for us as we will be here to help you fight for what you want for Garden Warfare 2, @EA_Shepard have you been able to show the head honchos these screenshots I captured in the Switch version of Battle For Neighbourville? 😁
- DeadEggplant2 years agoRising Adventurer
@EA_Shepard Thank you for the clarification, although I don't play on PC I'm sure those players are glad to finally be able to play the gamevas intended. But for other platforms modding isn't really the issue, more glitch abusing such as going under the map on gw1 and gw2. Can't wait for more news though.

Hi @ZorbaKing64, I have. It has been a constant conversation and consistent feedback when I search for it online too. The more the conversation goes on these threads the more fire they become! That gets attention from more managers and studio people for whichever game the board is on too! Awesome! Thank you @EA_Shepard the fire is just getting started! With the number of people wanting these things for both Garden Warfare 2 and Battle For Neighbourville on Nintendo Switch, the fire will get bigger and bigger until we get what we want! 😁
- @ZorbaKing64 Yessir! I think these threads have really been going off. If we just boost this thread. Then maybe, we will be able to experince our beloved boss hunts🙂 I hope Your succesful EA_Shepard🙂
- @ZorbaKing64 are you in Australian or American servers for garden warfare 2
The Anticheat update appears to be a big step in the right direction for maintenance of the game. I realise it is only for PC version of the game but this should effectively deal with many of the issues PC players are having. Hope this means more good stuff will come to the shooter games as well!
- DeadEggplant2 years agoRising Adventurer
@EA_Shepard Will the anticheat immediately ban you when you load into the backyard? Or will it activate when you try loading into multiplayer?
- okiu032 years agoNew Traveler
is there any update news for gw2 consoles? @EA_Shepard
@EA_ShepardWith the rise of the PvZ shooter community and with the hacking issue being fixed on PC with the Anti-Cheat update, I think it is an very good time now to change the Mystery Portal rotation to include Boss Hunt and Cats Vs. Dinos. The servers on PvZ GW2 still get full lobbies today and are still very active. The 7 achievements that are currently unobtainable must be obtainable so that players can 100% PvZ GW2.
- @matchattaxmad Yes very true, this game is very active for being so old. I aslo get full servers on Europe and America. Especially on Xbox. The PS servers is prob also active. As you said, it wouldnt hurt if they added bosshutns in the run! We all want to 100% the game. Btw have ya seen on the comments of the posts from PVZ about Pvz 3, everyone dont care, all wants gw3 lmao🙂)))
Have got to agree with this. As of this month, GW2 will be 8 years old, which I still find hard to believe. It still remains really populated to this day and I don't often have any trouble finding lobbies in most regions. With an Anticheat update coming for the game, around this time would be a great opportunity to tweak the Mystery Portal.
- VariableCell2 years agoNew Vanguard@TheSprinter85 Already 8 years!? Damn, I remember installing the game on PS4 when I was a child. GW1 and GW2 is just pure nostalgia.
