Re: Spawnable discussion: pea cannon and rocket bot

@PerniciousPea glad you're still around here as well! I do post on the GW2 forums a bit, and still play pretty much every day, more on quest days than the other days, but BfN being the latest game, I focus my posting here. 

I got max level in BfN and haven't gone back much, as while GW and GW2 could both use some patches, mostly for balance and bug fixing, BfN actually feels like it's incomplete and chunks are missing, especially in regards to Ops and the plants being down a character. 

We really need a new PvZ shooter and not too far off in the future, but it also has to avoid being rushed. A big part of why I try to keep active here, and a bit at Reddit, is to 'show the flag' for these games. I'm still ready for a solid GW3, and judging from what I see elsewhere, so are a lot of other people.

    @Iron_Guard8The only problem is that they already had their chance unfortunately.

    Popcap vancouver got changed into motive vancouver and a heavy amount of the dev team left.

    Bfn drove away a lot of hardcore fans and most didn't even know of its existence do to its abysmal marketing. A gw3 should not be rushed but at the same moment how long has it been since gw2 support ended? Interest in the series is fading and something needs to be done fast! Even a simple statement about their plans for the future to give fans hope?

    Even if we did go back to the garden warfare formula its no guarantee that they'll learn from bfn. What will the artstyle look like? Will the map design improve from bfn's with the amount of overall characters (will be lucky to even get gw2's standard with the amount of characters they have to design for)? What will the spawnable system be like? Will the pve system be improved or simplified? Will characters revert back into their gw gameplay style? What will the economy be like? Will humans continue to be a (imo stupid) plot point? Will communication with the team and the community be better than the literal void we got during bfn? Will ai backfill return and if so will the ai be improved from their pitiful bfn iterations? Will basic features like solo play actually be at launch this time? Will ops not be a flaming dumpsterfire? Will the animation and effects be finetuned better from bfn and more like their gw iteration? What will return in terms of classes, upgrades, and abilites? Will the tone and aestgetic be more in line with gw or bfn? Will modes return? Will night maps return? Will team vanquish actually have more maps than at least gw1 this time? A focus ob more characters or variants again? Will we actually have more than 2 cents and a pack of gum as a budget for the marketing and game?

    I want a gw3 just as badly as many here but after bfn I doubt they'll even get another chance at the series and it sad to see as they had there best chance at the end of gw2 coming off of all the hype and even then what will they do: it could potentially be their last chance or the funeral of the series.

    In short for the series future:
