@ZorbaKing64 I understand that. I do, and it isn't that the game or players are being ignored. This issue has been discussed and has been answered more than once on more than one thread. As of now, no updates are or will be made to the game in order to make these changes. The original studio that was there working on it is no longer and resources are working on other projects and no longer the GW or BFN series.
It has been discussed at length with myself, other CMs, and different devs on multiple teams. The bottom line of this inquiry is that at this time it won't get updated. Will that happen in the future? More than likely, no. That could change but the direction the series is going, there are no active plans to make updates to the series.
Hi @EA_Shepard when I loaded into PvZ: BfN on Nintendo Switch just now, I went to choose my region and saw this, the Australian and North America West servers are not here, any reason this has happened? I hope they’ll be back soon. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hi @ZorbaKing64, honestly not sure. I can reach out on that one but I haven't seen much on this one. - 1 year ago
Thank you @EA_Shepard coz I’m in Australia, and it being hard to find many people playing here, I always join the US West coast region, and always find full lobbies, but recently noticed I wasn’t getting any games on said servers/region, then I saw that pic I showed you, I hope the game online function and multiplayer isn’t gonna be shut down for good! 😭 only other thing I thought was server maintenance. Maybe a Unicorn Stuffy hat for us Switch players when and if it gets rectified lol 🙏🏼😁🙏🏼😁

Hi @EA_Shepard have you been able to find out what’s going on with servers? Specifically Australia and US West Coast. I’ve also seen it’s the same for Xbox so I’m assuming it’s happening on all platforms, with a 230-240 ping playing on US East Coast servers, there’s only so much lag and “how on earth did that count as a hit?” I can take lol.

@ZorbaKing64 Ive asked but its been pretty silent. The issue with the Asia servers was resolved but when it comes to things like high ping, it isn't considered higher priority. Since there is no longer a team working on it regularly, I have to have quite a few players who post on a thread reporting all of this to us. At the moment no one has said word on it.
If a lot more players start having the issue, we have to have a separate thread dedicated to that like a bug report. I then send it up, and we wait but at this point it is all waiting with this series since there's no longer a dedicated team for it.

Oh are you saying there was something wrong with the Asia servers? The issue I’m wondering about is where are the servers for the Australia and US West Coast? You know when you go to the portal and choose a region? Australia and US West Coast are no longer there @EA_Shepard
about the ping, I know why it lags, it’s because I’m in Australia and always joined the US West Coast region servers because I’m not gonna find a full match in Aus, as much as it sucks to get hit by literally everything, I still find BfN one the best games I’ve ever played, 2240 hours and counting on Switch.
P.S. I still so badly want the Unicorn Stuffy hat for Switch players!!! 😁 - Deathbug45671 year agoSeasoned Hotshot@ZorbaKing64 Why is the unicorn stuffy hat just for switch players? Im curious to know why.

@Deathbug4567 Hey bud, I would of course love it if all players on all platforms could get it by doing challenges or something, but I mention Switch players specifically because players on all other platforms got it as a gift when the game was released if you logged in during a certain timeframe, Nintendo Switch players never got this chance, that’s why I’ve been asking to add it.

Hi @ZorbaKing64, When servers are changed or no longer there, that is a change that happens on the backend. I can bring it up, but sadly if they arent there, we would have to wait for someone to let us know they have been removed. Since there is no official support for the game, getting that looked into can take time. - Deathbug45671 year agoSeasoned Hotshot@ZorbaKing64 Oh wow, i thought it was a switch exclusive but it expired. I dont think i ever got the hat even though i played when the game released idk when that period was but i must've stopped playing oh well.

Hi @Deathbug4567, yeah, I tried to get it for everyone on Switch, but when it came down to it, I was told it wasn't going to happen. Not sure on details but that was the bottom line. My kids wanted it, too, so I tried, but sometimes those ads don't happen.
