EA Staff (Retired)Hey all,
As we've just launched Trouble in Zombopolis: Part Two I'm going to lock the older discussion thread which was here.
We'll now use this one for the latest discussion following the content update. If you'd like to check over the full update patch notes please check out this post.
Cheers,

So is the 25 million vanquishes for the Unicorn Chomper?
I say that i really like some changes.
I agree for Corn to be op and i like these changes.. and i think BBQ corn shouldn't deserve a lots of nerf.
The true is.. that simply most of community will just play the most op think, spammin him at x6 in every match.
This was the same as the first gw1, when half of plant team was toxic pea, and half of zombies were s.commando..
I'm fine for BBQ corn (or generally Corn) for being the most used character, as it's WAY more manageable than Citron, Peashooter and Roses. Even Sunflowers are more hard to manage than Corn. Infact i see Plants loose more when they continue stacking Corns.
Now i would say that default/ice citron nerf will make the game almost balanced.
Cactus didn't deserve a nerf in first place, even if she has a really powerful weapon, now but it can be forgiven if you give her new abilities that fits the "brawl" of this game.
Same for All-Star.
He's a decent counter to Rose, Citron and BBQ Corn. I think he need a buff, not a nerf.
At the moment only Tennis Star seems to be effective.
One more thing, all star is a good counter to stacking peashooter (in this game are WAY more effective than first one).
No one noticed how much peashooter is op, because plants struggled for months.
I think All-Star need to be a strong force, and not being nerfed, because it's important for the zombie

To be fair, Super Commando was only overpowered on PC as he was much harder to aim with on console. Also in the first game, it was just Foot Soldier and variants and Peashooter and variants. Even today I only found two toxic peas on the other team at most. Sanitation Expert is alot more common now though in the first game, probably because he didn't get nerfed in the sequel.
I saw the fountain by the city hall and I just want to say that it is gonna be hard to get to the goal because there is not enough players players in the servers. I went on to some servers it and most of them were completely empty and couldn't even get through a single match. Yes, I know this update was just released, but the problem is still there which makes the fountain almost completely useless. We just need some more players contributing to it. I even tried switching servers hoping to find some more players who may be online. But those anyone know any server that may have some players in it?
P.S. Did you get my message I sent to you EA_Andy?
FelipeGames2000 has some ideas that you should consider and would benefit everyone. Here is his ideas (these are all FelipeGames2000's ideas). This is the link to the post ( http://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Future
==================================================
HELLO! I'm @FelipeGames2000 and I want to give some ideas for future updates.
Boss Hunts - Boss Hunts can function just like in the Single-player missions, but with more traps (like fake brainz, bananas or something), more bosse (like Gargoatuar but with more attacks) and awesome rewards (like Healing Flower pots and Hypno-Shrooms if you defeat Royal Hypno-Flower). This game mode requires compleating the story mode, just like Infinity and boss traps can be found in Extraordinary Packs or better.
New classes Idea - New classes ideas:
Magma/Volcano Brainz - Super Brainz's fire variant. Funny fact: "He needs to chill out" Rarity: Rare
Dark/Shadow Rose - Rose's variant with splash damage, improved zoom or a better homing. She could also transform zombies into crows instead of goats. Funny fact: "Dark/Shadow Rose hate everyone, including Dave. Then why is she helping him? Well... she loves tacos too, and since the zombies destroyed the Taco Restaurant...". Rarity: Super-Rare.
Here are some arts for her:
http://rose-supreme.deviantart.com/art/Reflet-the-
http://omegakaijuscorpiobat.deviantart.com/art/Sor
Zombia - Foot Soldier's variant, can run faster and (optionally) revives zombies like a Scientist, but less health. She is also a female zombie. Funny fact: "Zombia is the first female zombie who joined the Zomboss evil army. She and her husband, Foot-Soldier, are always the best couples in Valenbrains parties. But one thing Soldier doesn't know about her, is that Zombia cheated on him a lot of times by dating Deadbeard and even Kernel Corn. But she's not doing this stuff anymore... or is she... nope. She's ok with Foot Soldier now" Rarity: Special
Idea by OmegaKaijuScorpioBat. Official art also made by him:
http://omegakaijuscorpiobat.deviantart.com/art/Foo
Mutant Citron - Citron's toxic variant. Funny fact: "Fighting toxic zombies alone may not be a good idea" His toxic variant was already added.
Napalm Pea - Peashooter's variant. A Fire Pea with more damage, but with less ammo. He could also have a vanquishing bar. Funny fact: "(insert funny pun here)" Rarity: Legendary
That's all new variants ideas I've had. Now, for the (possible) BEST feature to add: The boss mode!
Boss Mode could be like in the first game, but with new options: Playable bosses (duh)! (only one per team)
If you press the Boss Mode buttom, you can chose to select any boss from the game if you want. I was thinking how cool could be to play as a Mecha-Gargantuar in Moon Base for example, and I had this crazy idea! I also saw a interesting fact that Disco Zombie was going to be a playable class for the zombies, but this idea was scrapped for some reason. Then why not make playable bosses? You can also chose wich boss you would like to play. Even a nerfed version of the infinity Robots!
Small new bosses ideas:
Rose Queen - Just like regular Rose, but with more health, more damage, a crown and can summon magical golens to protect her.
Chompzilla - Same as the Chompzilla from PvZH
Night Cap - Same as the Night Cap from PvZH
Knight Zombie - http://plantsvszombies.wikia.com/wiki/Cavalry_Zomb
Thanks. FelipeGames2000.
EDIT: So, It's been some time and Andy (or any other EA manager) did not read it yet. And I had more ideas, so I'm gonna say tell you them.

Ok. Now, back to ideas!
New abillities:
Citron:
Mine Peach - replaces E.M. Peach - Works like Proximity Sonic Mine
Energy/Iron Shield - replaces Peel Shield - A Peel Shield with more health, but automatically turns off earlier
Rose:
Summon Golen - replaces Goatfy - Works just like the Queen Rose boss ability to summon magical golens (idea above)
Banish - replaces Time Snare - Target takes 30-50 damage. If he dies, he will be banished (similar to Cozmic Brainz).
Arcane Explosion - replaces Arcane Enigma - Rose will cause a magic explosion around her that cause 60-100 damage
Final/Last Sacrifice - replaces Arcane Enigma - Similar to Arcane Explosion, but with no cooldown and cause 500 damage. However, it can only be used at 50% health remeaning (or 25% if you want) and will instantly kill herself (Rose and the zombies killed by this attack will be unrevivable)
Kernel Corn:
Call Butterhawk - replaces... well... you decide - Kernel Corn will call his elite fighter plane Butterhawk. It is optional if you control it or if you only call him to make him do a deadly corn barrage. Ir also be a boss mode character
Corn Cob - replaces Butter Barrage - http://plantsvszombies.wikia.com/wiki/Corn_cob I hope that explain
Thats all that I can think for now. I hope you all enjoyed my ideas and remember to always check and see new updates to this page! And don't forget to always reply on my awesome message (I am even feeling like I'm a PopCap manager right now)! Thanks!

Imp:
Bomb - replaces Gravity Grenade - KA-BOOM
Engineer:
Rocket Drone - replaces Big Bolt Blaster - enables you to use the Rocket Drone from the first game

Still updating this, but I will add many more things later.
EDIT 4: People is probably ignoring me right now, but I don't want to stop with my ideas yet.
New XP and upgrades mechanic:
When you promote your character to Master, instead of the same 20.000 coins, you could get either:
A. Get 50.000 coins or more instead
B. Get a legendary item
C. Enables you to equip all the upgrades (or maybe just add 2 more slots, with a total of 5 upgrade slots, in case of all of them being overpowered)
D. Increase the power from the upgrade in the 1st slot (or all of them)
E. Allows the ability mach the variant (example: Pea Gatling as a Fire Peashooter will ignite the enemy). The main class ability can either recharge faster or recieve more ammo.
F. Adds a special ability to the character (like, instead of adding Napalm Pea, adds him a legendary vanquishing bar)
I need you to reply and tell me which one of those XP mechanic is the best. I would choose D or E.
I have a friend called @the-g3-gamer-BR that gave me an awesome idea to add here.
ROULETTES!!!
They are what you're probabably thinking. But they can give you items that you can't unlock on normal stickers, they have free and paid spins and there's 6 kinds of roulettes:
Common/Normal roulette: Cost 5k of coins. Available for free each 10 minutes
Uncommon roulette: Cost 10k of coins. Available for free each 30 minutes
Rare roulette: Cost 30k of coins. Available for free each 1 hour
Premium roulette: Cost 50k of coins. Available for free each 24 hours
Legendary roulette: Cost 500k of coins or 200 Stars. Available for free when you promote a character to master (only if the option B above wins, if not, only on certain events)
Special roulette: Cost 100k of coins. Available for free (and for any kind of spin) each 24 hours when there is an event.
Prizes: The items can either be boss traps (idea above) or the normal stuff said moments ago.
Common roulette: Just normal spawning teammates. Rare chance to give a boss trap
Uncommon roulette: Can either give a boss trap, accessories or spawnable teammates.
Rare roulette: Can either give you better boss traps, better accessories or more spawnable teammates. Rare chance to give a character sticker.
Premium roulette: Can either give you even better boss traps, even better accessories, even more spawnable teammates or a character sticker. Super-Rare chance of giving a Leg. Sticker
Legendary roulette: No matter what happens, you will always get a legendary item (you will get tons and tons of boss traps or spawning teammates if you already have all legendary items)
Special roulettes: Can give you items related to the event.
That's all. Maybe I can have more updates for this post in the future, but I've told everything I could think of. Thanks. Bye Bye!
FINAL EDIT: So many things happened to me, and I don't have any more ideas for the game. This may be my final update to the post, however, I may be wrong and start posting BONUS EDITS. I hope my imagination never stop working so I can keep uploading this.
Add more remixed musics from the first game (Braniac Maniac for example)
Last class idea:
USSR Soldier - Foot Soldier variant - A USSR war zombie. Primary weapon: ZomBEER - Shots a vodka like liquid that creates a drunk effect on plants (like a Hypno-Shroom)
Idea by @ScreenhogRSnail
Diner Lady - Engineer variant - A female (and fat) zombie. Primary weapon: Sloppy Joe Cannon - Extremely low dammage and 1 ammo clip, however, has the same effect as the Chomper goop.
Idea by @thackest2k
Last abilities idea:
Mesmeric Beam - exclusive to Hypno-Flower - In Replacement For The "Heal Beam" Ability. Whatever Enemie The Beam Gets Hooked To, It's Screen Gets Blurry and Hard To See
Lazer Lock - exclusove to RoboCob - In Replacement For The "Shuck Shot" Ability. He Shoots a Humongous Lazer That Goes Straight Down Any Direction and Can Vanquish More Than One Enemie.
And one last thing: In case the option E (above) wins, here is a concept for the Captain Cannon Parrot Pal:

EA and Popcap
If you are reading this, you should know that I have many other things to say, but I cannot describe with comments.
... I was about to do some changes in the balancing features... but thanks. I will fix the "balancing features"
Heres my input, possibly the most unimaginative devs i have seen put into a game, as well as lazy. Let's face it this is meant to fool the younger audience by reskining everything from the first game. Even the new characters from the part one update of zombopolis are an lazy 2 second attempent. Where's the mushroom character ? That was a unique idea put to paper. Lastly my god more maps!!!! I am so displeased.
This game is faded to DEATH!
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
THIS BALANCE IS GARBAGE!!!!!! POPCAP/EA YOU * UP
