For sure, I hope it's in development! What would every prefer? Garden Warfare 3 or Battle For Neighbourville 2? I'm personally not fussed as long as it implements everything we love about each game.

@ZorbaKing64 I personally would prefer GW3 but I would like some characters from Neighbourville in it as well.
For example: Night Cap, Oak/Acorn and WildFlower (maybe), and the zombie Wizard.
If you ask me, snap dragon is WAAAAAAY too similar to Chomper, I would also like the Chomper to be able to swallow zombies whenever he is near a zombie like in GW2, and lastly I really think they should re-do most of the zombie classes from Neighbourville, because what on earth is an “80s action hero” or an “electric slide”, I’m not talking about the abilities they possess, I’m talking about the actual characters. Like seriously what sort of name is “Electric slide”, WHAT IS THAT?!
If you ask me, they should have a zombie called “Z Agent” and he’d be like the Zombie version of a CIA operative.
He’d have a pistol with a silencer (the silencer wouldn’t do anything, it’s just a cool design choice) as his main weapon.
For his abilities, he’d have “Run Bomb”, where drops an explosive and dashes away and then leaps just as the explosive detonates, just like in the movies.
For his second ability, he’d have “super spy”, where he morphes into a random plant character for short period of time, (this ability will disable ALL other abilities and will also disable his main weapon, meaning he will not be able to attack the plants in ANY way while this ability is active, however he will still be able to build bots, raise zombie minions from the grave and revive fallen Zombies).
Then for his last ability he’d be able to melee his opponents like the commando droids in the video game “Star Wars Battlefront 2”.
I think “Z Agent” would be the perfect counter to night cap.
Also another cool Zombie idea is “Movie Star” or “Zelebrity” (meaning celebrity), I haven’t thought ability ideas for this one but it’s still a way better character idea than whatever an “80s action hero” is or an “Electric Slide”

Nice idea, I like it, if we all put our thinking caps on, we could definitely come with so many ideas.
I'm brainstorming now lol, for a while I've been thinking of a plant that could temporarily mind control zombies that are caught in a force field type thing, similar to Night Cap, the difference is it's hard for zombies to know if they're caught in it because it doesn't have any other effects, but zombies that are caught in it, are mind controlled into thinking all zombies within 10 metres are Plants, it only lasts 6 seconds but lingers an extra 2 seconds when zombies leave the force field or it closes, another ability would be, and this is where I think it should be a lemon 🍋, lemon shoots pips that attach to zombies, growing all over the zombie, slowing them down and any other zombie right next to the affected zombie, also get caught in it, making the affect last longer and with an upgraded ability, causing them to get stuck together, meaning a Chomper could swoop in (underground) and swallow 2 zombies at once, third ability, acid juice, Lemon shoots his juice, it forms a puddle on the ground, causes major burn damage to any zombies that run thru it, when a zombie gets hit directly, as he runs, it leaves an acid trail along the ground which can affect other zombies.

Character variants from Battle for Neighborville is something I would be interested in seeing, such as an Elemental Nightcap or 80s Action Hero.🤔

@EA_Shepard Have you heard anything from the higher ups regarding this issue yet?
- Megaladon40042 years agoSeasoned Hotshot@ZorbaKing64 A lemon would certainly be a new and welcome addition and I love the ideas you've suggested, I just hope it doesn't prove to be too OP

Hi @Hieldanka, I just got back into the office but have not seen any mention of it as of now. Got a meeting later on and will ask but for the moment, the guess is not right now I am afraid. - 2 years ago@EA_Shepard I hope your meeting goes well and hopefully results in Boss hunt returning

@hellishgother I appreciate it. It is still on the list though of items everyone wants.
- 2 years ago
True, luckily the developers of these games are very clever and would do plenty of testing to make it fair, as I was typing this, another idea popped into my head, how bout a Clown Zombie? Haven't thought of abilities yet, but the idea of a clown zombie running around would be sweet lol.

- 2 years ago@ZorbaKing64 I feel like a clown might be to scary, how about a jester?

I have mentioned this in another thread everyone already but I am currently working on a guide on a list of ways you can prepare for boss hunts if they make a return (for new, current and returning players). If anyone has any ideas that they can provide for this, let me know and I will add it into my guide. I could also do similar guides to this in the future potentially 👍
In addition, I am enjoying reading your new character ideas! 👍

@EA_Shepard Have you heard about the new community manager for pvz named nick?
- EA_Shepard2 years ago
Community Manager
Hi @Diegodudeperfect, I have yes. We have spoken quite a bit. He's a super nice guy and will do some really good things for the community. - Diegodudeperfect2 years agoSeasoned Scout
@EA_Shepard I am not sure, but I also heard that he works in the dev team, Is that true?
And is he going to be around here in ea answers or in Reddit?
- EA_Shepard2 years ago
Community Manager
@Diegodudeperfect He isnt a part of the dev team. He's a community manager who works with them but is not one of them. Development teams are their own teams. I honestly can't say how much he will post on specific channels at the moment. As the the CM he can do that on other channels.

@EA_Shepard do you think you could mention this item aswell for Switch players? I don't know what it's called though, when Battle For Neighbourville was released on Switch, there was no mention of a pre-order bonus, I would have definitely downloaded it if I knew, purple is my favourite colour lol, also, please mention the Unicorn Stuffy hat for Switch players.
And for my Garden Warfare 2 buddies, we want Boss Hunts back, as someone who has never played Boss Hunt, I really want to! 😁
- TheSprinter852 years agoHero@ZorbaKing64 That costume might still be obtainable through Rux on Switch version. I will be checking every day until further notice to try and obtain it. Good luck!
- 2 years ago
I wish, unfortunately items obtainable from Rux doesn't change on Switch, someone else mentioned this item was a pre-order bonus only item for Switch players, I checked many times to be sure, but I've only got 3 items left to buy from Rux, it hasn't changed in many months, but hey, if we tell @EA_Shepard enough, hopefully we can get it and the Unicorn Stuffy Hat for Switch players @TheSprinter85
And boss hunts for Garden Warfare 2

@ZorbaKing64 I have a meeting weekly (typically) with the PvZ team(s) and show them all the threads and requests that players send over which is why I mark them all as Requste/Discussion etc. The stuffy hat is a major ask along with the mystery portal. Once I send requests over, I wait just like the players. It honestly leaves our hands once that request is put in.

What about the PvZ Heroes cosmetics, and also the hoverboard and Torchwood outfits. I would love to get them, without buying the specific pack.
- 2 years ago@EA_Shepard I sincerely hope they bring boss hunts back soon, I don't know how much more waiting I can take
- 2 years ago@DeadEggplant Those are also obtainable in community challenge chests.
- 2 years ago
Thanks @EA_Shepard we may not say it enough, but we're thankful for everything you're doing to get everything we want for our favourite games, what day do you usually have a team meeting? You'll only be able to tell us what's happening when the developers tell you to tell us? They could be working on returning boss hunts, the mystery portal for Garden Warfare 2, and the one we Switch players want, the Unicorn Stuffy hat, I also think the Iceberg lettuce should be released on all platforms.
These are the 3 items pictures, I've seen the same player with, how they got them, I have no idea, but we want them, all captured on Nintendo Switch.

@ZorbaKing64 I appreciate it. So officially I'm not within the studio so anything said on an official level has to come from them. I can let you know once they officially release info but until then I cannot. Our main CM Nick can let players know or let me let players know, but I can only do so with approval. If something changes and I say the wrong thing then I've given out false information and we definitely don't want that to happen.
- 2 years ago@EA_Shepard I hope they’ve got good news for us, I can’t wait to play boss hunt again. #bringbackbosshunt

Does that mean Nick or someone else will start manning the twitter account again?
