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

Hello, 

Maybe it would be a great idea to announce to the community on social medias if the wanted allowed the bring back of the gamemode, like that it would make a lot of ppl come back and enjoy a very special and fun event on that beautiful game ! Personally, the franchise PVZ and this game especially have a special place for me as it followed me when I was younger. I'd love to get all the achievements now and the only one that I didn't do was the boss hunt in crazy difficulty because it was crazyyyy difficult when I was a kid ahah.

It would be an insane moment for a lot of ppl that enjoy this franchise !

    @Kyokaaaa_1 It would, but unfortunately they aren't really working on the game anymore + they have other issues with the games.

    Hey, Folks

    As we continue to get this request, we do have to reiterate what was already pushed out to the players.

    Currently, there are no planned updates to change the mystery portal or any other aspects of the game.

    If there is a critical issue that needs to be reviewed, we can send that up, but as of now, no planned updates for modes or aspects of the game are in the works.

    Cheers!

    @EA_Shepard, I know as of today and recently, PvZ GW2 has reached an all time player count online of like 9000 something. I was wondering if anyone who still was working for EA or PopCap would like to note that there is a lot of players online now and if it hit a peak like this again, if you could tell anybody on the team to potentially bring back boss hunts and other LTM's that are not on right now because that would get a lot of players to actively stick to the game due to the joy and excitement of the boss hunts, cats vs dinos, soil survivors and community challenges. This is just a request so no harm if the answer is no.

  • So there is not a single thing you guys can do to fix it? Like, lets say hypothetically some people were still in the studio for PvZ GW2, would they be able to change the stuff surrounding the bot STEVE with the live service things?

    Hi @dontcrashczech, As of right now no. There is no longer a team that supports this series. The team that is there works on the new mobile PvZ3 game coming out soon. There are no plans of any kind to update this series unless something series breaks, and even then it takes time since there is no team.

  • Well, lets say in some alternate universe, EA was able to put people on a team to support it. Would they be able to give us all these events back? 

  • Sorry to say, a missing feature does not make a game bad, but far too many people showed hate and resentment for BfN for absolutely no reason!!! Fact is, it is a brilliant game, it has improved upon many things that were frustrating and slow in GW1/2, don’t get me wrong, those games are great too, but the hate towards BfN was not warranted, I play on Switch, it’s been available for over 3 years now, and is still going very strong, many thought it would only last a few months, what was missing from BfN that everyone loved about GW2? Achievements? Rewards? What exactly? What I do know, it will not change the gameplay if it was implemented into BfN, if everyone supported BfN, you could’ve kept asking for this missing feature, and chances are it would’ve been implemented since gaming companies do see what people say and ask for and often give us what we want, but because of the hate, you wrecked, not only your chances, but all our chances of getting updates or a new game.

    @ZorbaKing64Oh please if a few whiny gamers on the internet sunk a game and in turn an entire franchise than it was never gonna succeed.

    Bfn failed because the game had no marketing, nada, zilch and the studio was hemorrhaging money after the scrapped and cancelled projects! We've had knowledge of this for months now!

    No offense but I don't want to freaking hear about the fans are the problem for the behind the scenes corporate bs one more gosh dang time!

    Also we did ask for missing content in bfn and took then months to ever act on it.

    Solo play a base gw2 feature was not in the game for months DESPITE the fact that they were already using AI for gamemodes in battle chests AND put AI backfill in the games. We still dont have solo ops with bot teammates. And that's even going into how badly they butchered ops and the spawnables system

    Nobody gave up on bfn just because it wasn't gw3. They gave up because of how absolutely tedious the game was during those months yet how slow actual content out even before Covid. No offense again but the amount of people who also seem to have selective amnesia when it comes to all of that infuriate me.

    I was there for the days before switch and when prize bulbs had to be grinded for with 10,000 xp for just one on unstable servers. That was not fun.

    EVERYONE LISTEN UP! Click on @EA_Shepard forum and share screenshots of info for pvz gw2. This is the moment we have been waiting for the past 4 and a half years.

  • @stukapooka Oh please 😂😂 ok champ, we both know it’s more than just “a few people”, we’re talking thousands upon thousands of people and 10 times more comments, the hate and resentment, meaning word of mouth is exactly what sunk the series because people didn’t buy BfN because of these unwarranted comments, you even said yourself, you could chew thru a steel beam with amount of resentment you have for the series since 2019, the year BfN was released, so people like you, your bad word of mouth, your comments, contributed to the failure of a fantastic game!

    BfN has lots of fantastic events, Oops, Too Many Players, Team Vanquish, Boss Team Vanquish, Boss Turf Takeover, Garden Warfare, Surburbination Isolation, Power Team Vanquish, Rando Comfirmed, Gnome Bomb, all great events, sure Satellite Takeover isn’t much different, but there’s nothing wrong with it!

    Regardless if missing content was asked for, it doesn’t happen overnight, you know it takes many months and they have to be sure it’s worth their time.

     We both want the series given the respect it deserves, it’s easily one of the best series out there, I’m know you agree with that!
