What is missing from GW 2 that GW had?

My wife and I use to play Garden Warfare for hours and always believed the game to be a bit fair (for the most part) when it came down to packs, unlocks, and general game play.

We played Garden Warfare 2 until we unlocked all characters that could be unlocked through the 75k pack. We haven't been compelled to actually unlock any legendaries, so as of now we haven't been playing the game. My wife loves Gnome Bomb and Surbubination but became frustrated with how one sided the game currently is. She's also wondering if Taco Bandits are ever making a return?

I myself can do well on both sides, but have not really been having any fun.

I know good patches take time, however, it would be nice to know PopCap is listening via Facebook, Reddit, and here on the forums besides Twitter; not all of us use Twitter. Some small input "can go a long way." 🙂

I realized, while there are more things to do with-in the game, the game feels more like a chore when doing certain tasks and the tasks can become monotonous. Throw in the very low volume of pots, bots, zombies, and weeds that the packs are giving out. I personally have no complaints about legendary characters as I personally don't care for them. 

I am for balancing the game, but it feels with every patch more imbalances are created. Not sure if the game will ever be as balanced as GW1 was, but I am looking forward to the next patches. 

Any one have any idea(s) what can be done differently to improve the game's current state?

    I think there's only been one patch so far, so it's kinda hard to say that.

    I do agree with this. In GW1 they weren't stingy with the potted plants. But in GW2, you barely even get the lowest pea shooters, and the better plants like doom shroom forget about it! I'm sure a lot has to do with there being 2x the amount of consumables now we have Zombies on defense and plants on offense, but as the various plants and bots don't even work across all game modes, I think there should be a higher drop rate for the various kinds. I've been out of those bamboo shoots for weeks!

    There has been two patches in total. One was released as a day one patch., which adjusted certain characters.

    There are a million and one suggestions on these forums on how to improve the game. Its actually a bit of overload. I'm not sure if the dev could now make sence of it all even if they tried. Apparently they have invited people on twitter to give 3 character improvement suggestion for next update (refer these forums). I dont have twitter but I wouldn't comment anyway because the balance discussion are pretty circular.

    What I do think would be helpful (and a good place to start) would be if EA could maybe conduct a series of surveys here on what people think are the most important/urgent things that need fixing, and break it down from there.

    All the great gestures are missing. I was still waiting for the interesting ones until i realized i have already unlocked all of them...

    That zombie walk gesture of the Cactus was a priceless one when a zombie got hungry for potato.

    @Screion Yup, it's almost comical that they could spend all that time working on improved graphics and gigantic maps, but couldn't be bothered to just import all the gestures from the first game? Lame. I would love those back, as well as having 4 equipped at once again.

    The up/down buttons are used by changing classes in ops mode now though...I think that's why we only have two.

    I do agree though, I miss the old gestures and being able to have more is only going to create more taunting and moments where the enemy caught you with your pants down. That brings fun to the game 🙂

    Or more specifically, you mean the music themes for the super boss waves is missing, yet plays during the campaign. There's so much oversight in the game's design it's a bit silly.

    Actually the modes in general seem to go too easy on you compared to the first game, Super Gargantuar Wave in the first game was a nightmare....here they're not much of a threat. :/

    Also, hey. lol
