The "Master" problem. and how many characters do you got mastered?

Once I master a character I don't use them.  I like getting 20k coins prestiging my character.  The problem is I want the master characters to be able to continue to prestige for 20k coins. The character can stay master but let us keep ranking up the character for coins please.  Also how many characters do you have mastered?  As of 6-28-16 I have 65 mastered.  36 plants and 29 zombies.

  • It is a typical end game problem developers in all sorts of games fail to address. Its a huge grind at first, but when it hits critical mass there is nothing the player can do anymore.

    At least the fish allows you to spend your earned stars, once you don't want to play Infinity Mode anymore. But even that becomes pointless after you have reached max rank.

    And it is extremely difficult to come up with a solution for that. Which also rises the question how useful a level system is in the first place.

    And i don't care about mastered characters so far. I work on unlocking all the skills i want and will focus on Master rank later.

    Is just as you said. I mastered them all so what else to do next? I stop playing the game afterwards.

    This is a less of a problem and more of a inconvenience for players who want to use only one character.  The answer to your so called problem is to level your other characters.  You can choose to continue to play your mastered variant as long as you understand by design you don't get to level them anymore or your rank.  There would be no max rank if you could just keep leveling one variant. 

    GW1 was the SAME way.  When you got to rank 313, you could no longer level up to get 10k coins.

    As soon as I master a character I almost immediately switch other to a new character.  Sometimes I play two just for some variety.  But right now I'm working on ice pea and after that probably toxic pea or another sun flower.  I am undecided.  I have so many plants left to master and I haven't even touched infinity mode (I'm not sure if I will either.).  but I feel like I have plenty of content especially with balance changes and new maps.  I spend most my time in turf take over and sometimes wander into a gnome bomb or suburbia match.

    I really enjoy this game, I played overwatch for a solid week but immediately came back to PvZ GW2.  I know this is a little off topic but I feel like over watch is an over priced game and I'm not getting much.  16 or 18 characters with mostly skin recolors.  A few maps and 2 game modes.  PASS, PvZ GW2 has so much more going on.  over 100 different characters (I count the variants because they all play a lot different, except corns that all play the same), a lot of maps, and so many game modes.  Plus there are single player quests, gnomes, snow globes, etc.  Plus sometimes I have fun in the back yard just goofing off.

    I went off on a rant but this is honestly one of the best shooter games to come out in a long time.  I wish people could look past it's cartoony and goofy presentation and give it a shot.  so much content.

    I mastered every plants besides some Chompers and some Cactuses.

    For the zombies only the op variations of some classes.

    Besides that i think that play a mastered character should give some reward.
    People are scared about people will play only the same characters..
    Well this seems more like a way to soften up balance problems for the devs..
    People who play only a character or a class will not change anyway.. and those who want to stop grinding for a while can do it with some relax.
    I invested more than 500+ hours for grinding exp and master every plant, but i dislike Chompers and Cactus. I would like to get some reward playing my favorite characters and turn back at training at classes i already mastered.
    I'm not talking only for coins.. instead i find coins useless. i was thinking more of incredible ideas.. like:

    - increase upgrades slot spending stars :Q_

    - spending stars to unlock some unique customization after you continue play the class

    - re-color?

    Something that reward my love for character.
    Nevermind if you love an op character, after electro brainz, ac perry and roses get nerfed i feel there is no really op character, but just strong or annoying characters (but still manageable)

  • For the Plants: I've mastered Peashooters, Sunflowers, Cacti, Roses, Corns, and Citrons while few are at Super Elite (working on Chomper mostly, non-spray Chompers are a pain to master)

    For the Zombies: I've mastered All-Stars, Pirates, Engineers, and Scientists. I don't like having to play as a class that people use all the time such as Imps or Soldiers.

    I simply can't stand low ranks that play their Master characters like all the time when they would force me to play as a class I mastered as a counter. (Like as a zombie, I'm forced to play as Engineer if none is using them to counter Chompers burrowing or building a Teleporter)
  • I already mastered all my characters. Also have every item. What I do is keep playing because I want to stay on the leader board. I spend my stars on infinity mode for high rounds. (after wave 50 it keeps repeating). The thing that keeps me playing the most is the quest board. I want to be #1 on the quest board leader board so I need to log on everyday and complete the quest. 

  • I only mastered 19 so far. Will take me awhile to do the rest. I like the leveling in this one, having lots of fun with it.
