In the patch notes it saysUpdated the last Weekly Challenges so they now give Rainbow Stars instead of coinsso does this mean it’s best not to do the weekly challenge as after the update we will get rainbow stars for the last weekly challenges and if we do them now we can’t get the rainbow stars. Just a thought but I will be leaving mine to see.

@Meadoz Hmm, good thinking to wait& check it! I had a game of it a little while ago. Half my plant team quit as we were being trounced by Brainz, pirates & scientists who kept getting the crystal dog before any of our team - like they needed it!So that was fun! 😬

@Meadoz I thought the same way when I was playing my first match but lost it anyway. Didn't touch the mode since then. So I still got the chance to earn some Rainbow Stars. Hopefully.Apart from that it is not cool at all for those who already completed the challenge.

LOL!I used Citron.Just keep racing to the Crystal Dog and you'll eventually arrive first. The Zombies will bombard in as a full unit (usually 3 or 4 to 1 plant) and WAIT until JUST BEFORE they arrive to pick up the dog. When they do, give 'em all ya got with the Naval Laser (LOL, if I'm saying that "wrong").I succeeded on my second attempt and ended up killing SIX team stackers... I mean... Zombies. Six of 'em at once... ! HAH.EDIT: clarification

Yesterday was a long day with all the family and cooking so I didn't start out with a great reserve of patience but I'm sick of that mode altogether now.😢. Sorry to hear that, friend.Not that it helps but EVERYTHING PvP right now will be dismal, at best. The recent changes made imbalances worse.I don’t often get throttled in public servers but can’t remember Plants pulling out a W without a STACKED team lately.Last night, I played a game with a team who lost 50 to 10-15 in the first match I entered (as Plants). The next game, that same team of rookies beat the stacked team (barely)... but still - as Zombies, even a team of noobs beat a team of HIGH ranked Zombies.I only stayed for two games and left.December 2nd can’t come quick enough. 🙁

Excellent thought and good idea to post it for others. I had this thought as I finished the second quest 😖@Meadoz Edit - maybe change title of post so ppl that don't bother to look inside get the warning? Just a suggestion 🙂

weekly challenge don’t do it & maybe get rainbow stars

It'll be interesting to see what rainbow star value they give the challenges - some are much harder to complete than others, like opening a boss chest in the previous one.

I stopped fooling with monetary rewards after posting this: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Weekly-Challenge-Bulbs-Instead-of-Coins-Please/m-p/8439234#M7625

Here’s to hoping we gets stars soon!

Looks like some people are getting coins still and some are getting stars anyone know what the difference is.

@Meadoz Nope. But for data collection purposes, I completed the first two quests the first day and now my third has 40 stars as the reward. On XBOX.

Yep, I thought Id completed 2 but that must have been last weeks... as none from this week were done.
Just finished the first one and got coins.... pretty miffed tbh as I dont always manage the last one... finding games in the first place is a huge problem, but then performing as requested for the quest is sometimes near impossible (for me at least) at the very least some take hours of playing to achieve....
hope this doesn't mean Ill miss out on 40 stars or whatever every week.... looks like it might.

If that is the case I'm probably gonna be done with it all... have spent the day killing less and dying more....
dont know if its me having an off off day or its the changes but not fun...
not being able to get any rainbows stars apart from character challenges will be the final straw for me I think.

Trying to still keep positive but feeling like a deflated balloon today... or should that be defeated 😃....
anyway... still hanging in there atm by my finger nails.
Hopefully it'll change again for the better when the next updates arrives.

@asabaida Ok, you've already bravely tried to pep me up in our private chats today, so briefly breaking my game & forum break!! (Hasn't lasted long so far!) You KNOW you're not the only one feeling that way! We can't both collapse at the same time, we're each other's props! 😂
For everyone else's benefit, who maybe hasn't seen me mention it in the other thread, I hadn't completed ANY of the weekly challenges & post-update the first one is still showing coins. My update finished successfully, I have the snowy loading screen, Rux & the Giddy Park mini-quests are all there no problem. I'm not going to comment on how PvP feels to me, other than to say I feel the same as @asabaida & am trying to have a break from the game before I throw myself off the cheese drill.
If anyone has a clue what's going on, PLEASE put us out of our misery?!

@asabaida Haven't done any of the weekly challenges so far but coins are still listed as reward. I was hoping for a visual bug but obviously it's not if you also got just coins...meh.
