Critical Bug: Premium Battle Pass Reward Discrepancy in PVZ3

I have found a critical bug that seriously ruins the gaming experience in Plants vs. Zombies 3.

I invited my friend to play PVZ3 with me yesterday. About 10 hours ago, he just started the game, finished the newbie tutorial and completed in-game quests to claim the Battle Pass rewards. I was shocked to find that he gets far more rewards from the Premium Battle Pass than I do.

For example, at Battle Pass Level 1, he receives 4000 Plant XP, while I only get 2000. I checked my game right away and confirmed the reward discrepancy. I also restarted the game, but the problem still exists with no changes at all.

Such unfair reward differences only because I logged in and claimed the Battle Pass rewards earlier than my friend. It completely breaks game fairness and player experience. I no longer trust the Premium Battle Pass reward system at all, and I will never purchase it again.

I sincerely ask the official EA team to investigate and fix this bug as soon as possible, make proper compensation for affected players, and maintain fair gameplay for everyone.

  • Thanks for the confirmation Jtm4877​, plant passes of the same price should result in the same rewards. I've logged this for investigation.

    Thanks for sharing rafhagunz​ , You can also see in app purchase prices on app store, to see what the current running offers and prices are. In addition, as the game is not officially on stores outside of Ireland & Philippines, pricing for currently unsupported countries may not be final.

    The same battle pass is priced at 11.99 € for both of us, yet we get different reward quantities. I haven’t bought it, I just confirmed the in-game listed price.

    I checked in the game with some changes of location and types of payment and found at least 3 diferent versions of Premim Pass, all the tree versions have different rewards but it match with the price, example:
    Premium Pass 1 , 50xp and cost 9,99dol
    Premium Pass 2, 100xp and 19,99dol  (2x more than pass 1)
    Premium Pass 3: 150XP and 29,99 dol (3x more than pass 1)

    Honestly i hate this type, Mainly because I would have to buy fewer resources for less money, but $9.99 converted to my local currency is still an absurdly expensive amount to spend on a plant pass; in Brazil, that costs R$50.00, which is practically a whole day's work... and for us for example, $9,99 = 1 hour of work.

  • Hi Jtm4877​ 

    Would you be able to share the cost of the two battle passes and confirm if you both payed the same price for the same content?
