The Oh So Depressing Tale of BFN and the FOMO!

I wanted to add/reinforce that I have zero issue spending additional money on the PvZ shooters, and have done so in all 3 games. And I'd much rather them sell cosmetics than abilities or new characters or other elements that other games force you to pay for. The FOMO issue is large and being unable to play at all yesterday due to some connection issues with the game, missed the 2 far right things that reset daily. I think the biggest issues beyond FOMO is all the currencies we have that aren't doing anything for many of us. I actually prefer the new pot/bots/weeds/brown coats system as it means you can't spend a ton of coins on packs and flood the capture point with nothing but coffin zombies and vase weeds from your stock of thousands of the things, but I'd like something for all these coins to do, even minor stuff like spawn bosses in Giddy Park or something.

While I don't have any insight on the internal systems at PopCap and EA, I do know PopCap definitely made money on PvZ2, including a fair chunk of change from me, much less the shooters, PvZ1 after they were acquired, and Heroes. I love me some PvZ so I'd love to see BfN crush the competition and am more than happy to support the devs who as I have stated previously, I really like. I mean, Paladins certainly has a ton of bugs and despite their reputation, Overwatch is hardly free of problems either, so we can expect some issues here too, it just gives bad optics when things rotate through the store so rapidly and we had that feastivus pack as well.

I think the biggest issue is that the game does need work to really feel as good as GW1 & 2 and other MP shooters. It's really close and if they can get the feel and flow of play where more people are really enjoying it, it's going to be amazing. It just feels that it has a lot of hurdles to overcome yet and it's obvious that some people feel resentment about the RL money situation while there are so many things that need to improve. I won't presume to speak for anyone else here, but I for one am going to be sticking around and playing and look forward to the game improving over the next few patches. I do wish they had held off the release as I've stated before, but I am still enjoying the game, problems and all, and I'm hoping to see things improve like we saw in both GW games over time.
