    Hey, everyone

    With the implementation of the anti-cheat system, we anticipate a reduction in the incidents of players being "banned" or disconnected from the game, and unable to reconnect to matches. If you're still experiencing issues, please post your details on the [Info Request] thread that I have created for players.

    There is also a thread on Player levels being reset, that myself and the team are working on. When there is an update on this one, we will post that on the thread.

    As for the community requests we've received, such as Boss Hunts, Mystery Portal Updates, and other similar updates that everyone has been commenting on, here's the latest update we've received on these requests.

    Q: Will we see the Mystery Portal rotation update?

    A: The recent anti-cheat update was necessary to address a critical issue affecting a subset of our players that were impacted by exploits/cheats impacting their ability to play the game. Live service updates, including Mystery Portal rotations, are no longer in development for Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2.

    Continue engaging in discussions, creating artwork, and sharing guides as these are still critical in helping others enjoy the series. Our community remains vibrant and active, and your contributions to this series are invaluable.

    As always, your feedback is welcomed and appreciated. For now, let's concentrate on enjoying the series.

    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.

    Halloween being one of my favorite holidays I am all for that happening! Yes!

    The rotation is on point. This way you can swap over once done, it doesn't get repetitive. That's a good callout. Cats vs Dinos was a cool one. I enjoyed playing that.

    I am an achievement hog so any mode that has those in it, I will absolutely play for sure. I am all about that. This is the feedback we like to have. Mix it up, make it more fun and something to look forward to and less repetitive. I gotch you!

      @EA_ShepardYes that's it.

      The community loved capture the taco but its sadly the only truly unique mode that's still in the rotation.

      We would love having a better rotation schedule out of the modes that are already in the game and coded just not being used right now.

      Mods being able to add them back into solo play only makes that dissapointment worse since we know its possible.

      The community is not asking for more updates since the game was left years ago, just a simple switch to make it better in its twilight years.
