Main problem i can see with this mode aside from people not wanting to play the objective is that it will get boring super fast just like cats vs dinos which is probably why there aren't many people playing. The backyard map is nice but idk why they only decided to make it one map only which causes it to have the same issue that cats vs dinos has.
I only played a few rounds and i have no desire to really play it again. The rainbow star payout is also pretty bad which is probably another reason why nobody is playing. They need to raise the rainbow star and coin payout in general.
I don't find Cats Vs Dinos boring but this is different. I've never had a problem finding players for Cats Vs Dinos except in the early morning hours. I've only gotten in one game with players since this mode started. I'm in an empty game right now waiting for players, this time of day there should be someone. I've tried East/West/Europe as well, haven't seen a single person for an hour.
I think we need to modify the game mode so the team can focus on an objective one at a time:
1. Plants have a TACO and Zombie has to steal under 5-7 minutes. If plants able to defend successfully, Plants get a point, otherwise, Zombie get the point.
2. Now, it's Zombie turn, Zombie has a Taco and has to defend against Plant.
3. If both team successes steal/defend a Taco (score is tie), we have overtime, we need a GRILL to cook the taco, the grill is spawned at the center of the map, the one able to grab and bring it home first, able cook the taco and win the game.
You can imagine the chaos at the center of the map when the final GRILL spawn. It will be a countdown and the location is fixed. All plants and zombies will fight to conquer/secure this area first. It will be blood all over the place on the countdown to grab it first: all chompers dig, pea gattling, machine gun, Z-Mech, Torchwood, pea bomb, bird bomb, imp punt, sunbeam, sniper, ready for action.
I guarantee this will be more bloody than anything you ever see in GW2! It's time for a party.., especially for party Characters!
Off course, if we have this taco bandit on long map (not on backyard), this battle will be much more fun and challenging.
What do you guys think?
The current mode is definitely not what I had expected and very much a let-down, but if I interpret yr suggestion correctly I foresee 20 minutes of constant melée with Corns, Peas, and All Stars Schuck shotting, Sombrero bombing and Imp punting indiscriminately. Not really my style of play, and I think I'll probably move on to the traditional set of modes rather quickly.
I'd far prefer that they amended the Taco mode to the one employed in GW1 which is played on the shorter mode maps.
