@ea could you please respond?
Community ManagerHey Everyone,
Thank you for sending this feedback over. We appreciate the detailed info you listed here. We hear you, and I want to make sure you know we see this. We will forward this over to the team so that they can review this and continue to make changes for the players.
Cheers!
Late to the party here but my ideal list would make one boss hunt available per season such as as sasquatch in summer, yeti in winter, and so on.
Anything is better than a random mixed mode no one cares about.

You are never late to this party! I can see the advantages of both. I do like the idea of one boss per season but it would have to be a good enough fight for the community that it doesn't get dull.
So with that being said, how would you prevent a "one boss per season" event from getting tedious and helping players keep interest in that one boss fight?
@EA_ShepardWell per season i meant a specific month during them like october halloween timeframe for spooky squash or december/january for yeti king.
Keep the rotation timeframe similar to how it is now of lasting roughly two weeks after the tuesday the events come on and then switch to another one such as soil survivors or cats vs dinos for the next month.
Basically just make a rotation where every month has something unique about it that can include all the special gamemodes that have achievements and items related to them over the mixed modes we're getting now that players are sick of already.
Community ManagerHey Everyone,
Apologies for the delay. There is a lot happening in the background. So, to address this one. Infor has been sent over to the correct teams who make these calls. We, the CMs have no actual say or visibility into if, when, or how they get implemented into games.
I understand that we want to see these changes sooner rather than later, so the question of when will it happen? In all honesty, we don't have an answer for it unless that info is given to us to provide to the players. At the moment there has been no update to any changes being made. This doesn't mean they won't be, it just means that currently, we cannot provide an update as there isn't one yet.
When we do though we will post that for you and let you know the info we have been given.
Cheers!
@EA_ShepardWell that's about the awnser we all expected but we shall see if anything comes of it.
@EA_Shepard I never thought I'd see the day that this subject got traction again, been waiting four years for this and check periodically in the hope something would one day be done. I've been stuck on 98% due to missing a chest for my 5 community challenge chest trophy. If you guys could somehow restore not only boss hunts but also community challenges... oh man. I'd be over the moon. In all the years of having my account, it's the only unobtainable trophy I have!
Fingers crossed something comes of all this chatter.
For the last month and a half i have been playing with players who are new to the game, and i talk about boss hunts with them. They have never played these modes since they are new, and with a simple portal fix would be good for all of us. For the past year i have been searching for answers, and i have finally found a solution. I am really crossing my fingers that ea goes through with this. And they potentially will thanks to @EA_Shepard.
@DeathBuggI keep seeing new players with low ranks in game and i hope this goes through for all the players who have never experienced these modes before as i believe the very last boss hunt/soil survivors was late 2018 (gw2's peak tbh) early 2019 I think? I remember people freaking out thinking soil survivors was gonna try and cash in on the battle royale craze but then everyone loved it. Oh how things change.
I understand @EA_Shepard and others can only send ideas to the higher ups but man does waiting suck.

I just realized that the video is so small that nobody can see it, so I put it on YouTube so you can see it better, here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00Y2z4-nsHo
The offer of paying for the modes is unfortunately one that EA can very easily refuse. They’d have to make a DLC and implement the modes through either private play or have servers which would run the modes for those who own it, which would take longer to develop and would cost more than reprogramming the AI would. It would never be some sort of donation you would have to make for access to them.
Most of you guys don’t have a very good idea of how game development works and it shows. I get you want the modes back (I play with mods on PC for these modes but I agree it would be great for the game in general on both PC and console) and while reprogramming the AI still wouldn’t be too difficult, it would most likely not be worth it financially or they don’t want to assign developers to a project that is in EAs eyes ‘complete’. If the moneys not on the table, then EA won’t bother as we have seen time and time again (especially in regards to PvZ over the last 3 or so years)
And don’t mention the ban situation either, that’s a security issue and one that is of much more importance for them to solve than this is.
