Re: The world-wide release and update is out now!

@rcholate - Thanks for the info. It seems as though at the moment queuing as a plant is taking longer, the team is aware.

    this is a common problem with asymmetric games. the main problem is that you are thrust into plants and have to play a few games which unlocks more heroes and cards for them which in turn makes it a lot harder to start off as a zombie. they need to introduce a choice who to start with, and retroactively give plant pairs a few zombie only boosters.

    I would have expected the game design to create an alternate tutorial for zombies and just randomly start people off as either plants or zombies so as to even the playing field a bit.

    a short term solution can be for ranked you choose one zombie and one plant deck and then when you are paired you use one of them randomly. this will actually be pretty good as people will want to have good decks for both. but there has to be some type of punishment for straight conceding a game since then people will just concede whenever they are playing their weak deck.

    It's a bit of a joke coming from EA, an indie company maybe but not EA. They had limited releases in a few countries, surely they would've been able to roll this out better.

    In an attempt to have similar ranks battle each other, they have done the complete opposite and made higher ranked players unable to play plant heroes and having to resort to fighting as zombie heroes only;  fighting newbie plant heroes with basic cards.

    I've been feeling bad for the plant heroes and i tend to play no cards for the first few rounds. Quite comical.
