REOPEN COMMUNITY CHALLENGES AND BOSS HUNT

@TheSprinter85yeah its been so long since a unique game mode like cvd and boss hunt came out that people most likely wont get the achievements or hats for them.

True, if we cannot get the achievements for the discontinued Mystery Portal events, hopefully they could at least be altered.

I can't honestly believe it would take much effort to activate these, especially at the current once a month schedule. The code is already there, they just have to activate it. 

There is unquestionably demand for it. Even on PC, where the community isn't as big as on consoles (getting rid of hackers would help this a lot, and the next PvZ shooter needs crossplay!), I see not only familiar faces but lots of low levels and obviously brand new (or alt) accounts. 

Community challenges could have their thresholds lowered if need be as well. 

Let people get those items for their sticker books and get those achievements!

This in itself almost deserves a petition! 

Popcap really had a meeting and said “Forget their 100%. I’m gonna ruin their chances of ever completing this game.” “Hey Rick, you know what’d be really funny? If we made these achievements and then made them completely impossible to get without warning people that it was getting taken out” “great idea bob, there’s no chance that there will be new/returning players with our game being included in game pass. Let’s pull the plug on this whole community thing and waste everyone’s time who wanted to 100% our game” “fantastic idea Rick, you read my mind. Let’s get the ball rolling” *sorry to inform our players that community challenges will be discontinued effective immediately* 

@vShockzii Popcap with bfn also said "hey guys remember those two shooters we made that had a good amount of success?" "Well forget that just change up the entire thing now that popular game what was it overwork or something? Is out now, Yeah just change it to rake in money".

Mad respect to the pc modders who included boss hunts and walnut hills with new class bots in private play, they make me jealous that I'm only on Xbox.

Modders for gw2 have honestly done a better job for the series content right now than its creators (imagine if they could make new content than just altering present content), what a time to be alive.

I'll never get revenge on the yeti king now😔.

@stukapooka . Know what you mean about being on XBox.
Redhead Gaming put this modded GW2 on youtube a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely brilliant. If EA put out these modded versions of GW2, Battle for Neighborville would be empty of players within the week. See link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAGlfC7MtnI 

 

Redhead has a couple of modded GW2  Turf Takeover games with some completely new Legendary characters on his channel too ...if of interest e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8YyblSSBig&t=395s 

@PerniciousPeaThe only thing I dont like about that visual mod is it taking away the zombie clouds in their environments as the bright light doesn't contrast well with the color scheme. On everything else though it looks great and feels like an hd version of the garden warfare 1 artstyle.

That yeti imp looks pretty good, just imagine if the modders could actually create new models though.

I've seen the private play remastered mod and honestly its the one I want the most. The new class ai in walnut hills really don't seem to have any problems even with imps mech (it wont even come down if its an area where you can get stuck) so really what's popcap's excuse again?.

I've also seen a really cool mode idea in the mods that would be awesome in a new gw game called zombotany (love the pvz1 reference) where now on maps like walnut hills and seeds of time zombies must defend objectives from plants and vice versa and it genuinely seems to shake up how the gameplay flows in an interesting way since the coconut cannons can still hurt plants. 

Popcap should really go the team fortress route and just hand the game to the community for updates that would have to be voted on in game (like adding the cut but practically complete imitater boss into the game) before being added or let the community mainly work on them and have the dev team basically proofread it before they code it in as we all know I doubt popcaps really working on a new shooter at the moment and more updates in the community could mean more people by the game due to the rumor of a game still being updated five years after launch.

Good points @stukapooka. Great idea about the game being a sort of open source version of GW2, but with restrictions on what is upgraded and who does the upgrading. Really like that idea!

@PerniciousPeaThanks

The way tf2 does its rule guidelines for things that are allowed in the game could apply to this scenario to such as:
1. Must follow the games artstyle.
2. Cosmetics for characters fit their physique and personality.
3. Maps have to follow certain perimaters such as changing spawns after capturing certain objectives or trimming the overall length down so it doesnt strain people's devices in fps or connection.

Testing periods for new content could Also filter it out if it looks great in concept but doesn't really work.

They might as well just go ahead and do this as its obvious that were most likely not gonna get another game so might as well commit all the way to the modding scene.
