Welcome dev team & players of PvZ 2 International to review below:
The following is an AI translation due to my limited English proficiency; some inaccuracies may exist.As a loyal Chinese player, I have had a lot of fun while playing the game. At the same time, I have also found some areas that can be optimized, and I hope to contribute my ideas to the further improvement of the game. Hello! Wishing you all the best, may we have a wonderful time together, and may you be free from worries and negative feelings! Happy New Year! Thank you for reading my feedback and for being willing to listen to the genuine thoughts of Chinese players about Plants vs. Zombies 2 International Version. Due to my limited English, the following content is translated by AI and may have some minor inaccuracies. As a loyal Chinese player, I have really enjoyed playing the game. At the same time, I have identified some areas that could be optimized, and I hope to contribute to the game’s further improvement. I would be extremely grateful for your support and approval if you would like to leave a like or vote. Even if you don’t support it, that’s completely fine—please feel free to read my feedback or other players’ feedback as you wish. 😊😊😊🌹🌹🌹 【We really, really need these optimizations! It should be appropriately centered on users. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my feedback. I look forward to continuous improvements in the future to bring a more excellent experience to users. Thank you!】 Priority Issues & Bugs Requiring Immediate Attention As loyal fans of the Plants vs. Zombies franchise, we have witnessed the growth and glory of this classic tower defense game, and we firmly believe in its potential for long-term sustainability. This feedback is not a complaint, but an effort to assist your team in identifying the core issues of the current version, and to guide the game back to its original design philosophy centered on player experience. Below are critical systemic flaws and targeted optimization suggestions for version 13.0.1, all based on the genuine gameplay experiences of legitimate players worldwide. We hope this provides valuable insights for the healthy development of the game. I. Severe Flaws in the Progression System Severely Damage Legitimate Player Experience In version 13.0.1, there are 297 unique plants in the game. Maxing out a single plant from Level 1 to Mastery Level 200 requires: 972,750 Coins + 30,000 Seed Packets for that specific plant. Fully upgrading all plants demands an astronomical: ~289 million Coins + 8.91 million Seed Packets. This cost is far beyond reasonable standards for any title in the franchise, and creates an extreme imbalance with daily resource acquisition: Players grind diligently through levels, complete all daily quests, and participate in limited-time events, yet rewards remain pitifully low—only a few thousand Coins and a negligible number of Seed Packets. Even with intensive daily farming, earnings are insufficient for basic upgrades of a single plant, resulting in a catastrophic imbalance between effort and reward. This "astronomical cost + meager rewards" structure renders every legitimate player's effort meaningless, with progression difficulty bordering on inhumane, completely shattering player expectations. Free-to-play (F2P) players earn only thousands of Coins daily. At this rate, maxing one plant requires ~300 hours of non-stop farming; casually, this takes over six months. Fully upgrading all plants would take nearly a century, making it practically impossible—effectively denying F2P players the right to "complete" the game. Seed Packets have no targeted acquisition method, only random drops from limited game modes with no pity system. Players often wait months or over a year to upgrade their desired plants, making progression entirely unpredictable. This flawed design creates an unbreakable loop: Insufficient plant levels → Cannot beat high-difficulty content (Endless Zone, Challenges) → Cannot earn core upgrade resources → Levels remain low → Even harder to beat high-difficulty content. Ultimately, the core of tower defense—strategy and formation design—is completely overshadowed by a massive power gap. Even the most optimal formations with low-level plants cannot defeat high-level zombies. The game devolves into a endless, unfun grind, betraying the very essence of tower defense. Worse still, this inhumane progression barrier is the direct and primary cause of the global epidemic of cheating, modding, and save-editing. A heartbreaking consensus has formed across global player communities: The vast majority of long-term legitimate players are ultimately forced to use mods to enjoy the game. Countless players state that PvZ 2 (International) is the only game they have ever cheated on, while every other title in the franchise—including PvZ Remastered, PvZ Heroes, PvZ 3 (CN/Global), PvZ 2 (Chinese Version), and all fan-made editions—does not suffer from such widespread cheating. The actual cheating rate in the International Version is several times higher than the Chinese Version and continues to surge. This is not a moral failing of players, but the only option when legitimate progression is blocked. Legitimate players spend years struggling to max one plant, while mods grant infinite resources and full upgrades in seconds. This extreme injustice leaves legitimate players with only three bleak options: quit, spend a fortune, or cheat out of necessity. If this continues, the game's legitimate ecosystem will completely collapse. II. Cross-Franchise Comparison: International Version Progression Is Catastrophically Inferior Comparing to PvZ Remastered, PvZ Heroes, PvZ 3 (CN/Global), PvZ 2 (Chinese Version), and all other franchise titles reveals a stark contrast: All other versions uphold the principle of player experience first, providing F2P players with clear, controllable, pity-guaranteed progression paths. Costs are reasonable, time and effort are rewarded fairly, preserving the strategic core of tower defense while maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Cheating rates remain permanently low, achieving a win-win for player experience and revenue. Only PvZ 2 (International) fails catastrophically in cost, grind, and resource scarcity. It is the only title in the entire franchise where: Legitimate players cannot max even one plant through normal play, nor fully experience core game modes. F2P players can only unlock basic plants, barely beat normal levels, and cannot access high-difficulty content or the full game. This massive experience gap not only kills player enthusiasm but also betrays the core design philosophy of PvZ: casual fun, strategy, and enjoyment above all else. Criticism of this progression system is universal and unprecedented across the global player base: Chinese communities (Bilibili, Tieba, QQ groups): Over 90% of veteran players publicly condemn the system as unreasonable. Global communities (Reddit, EA Forums, YouTube): Over 95% of core players call the Level/Mastery system absurd and inhumane. Players worldwide unanimously agree: The International Version's progression is the worst, most grind-heavy, and most pay-to-win design in the entire franchise. Such widespread, sustained, and unified negative feedback is unprecedented in the history of the PvZ IP. III. Irreversible Long-Term Risks of Maintaining the Status Quo Continuing to ignore this catastrophic progression system, dismissing legitimate player feedback, and allowing these flaws to persist will lead to irreversible commercial failure and ecosystem destruction, with these specific risks: Accelerated exodus of legitimate active users Veteran players quit in despair; new players are deterred by the prohibitive barrier. The active user base shrinks, and the game's lifespan rapidly ends. Cheating epidemic destroys the monetization system F2P players don't stay; low spenders refuse to pay due to unfair rewards; high spenders stop paying as cheating eliminates fairness. Revenue collapses in a vicious cycle. Permanent damage to the global PvZ IP reputation The International Version's terrible reputation is deeply ingrained among core players. Many state they have **lost trust in the entire IP due to PvZ 2 (International). This negative perception will ruin reception for future releases, crossovers, and spin-offs, permanently devaluing the IP. Game becomes a "dead server" for cheaters only Legitimate players vanish entirely; the game loses all purpose for运营. Even drastic fixes will be too late, with the final chance to salvage the game lost. Most alarmingly, this flawed system has persisted for years, and player patience is at its breaking point. The players still speaking up are the last loyal fans holding out hope. Without meaningful change now, your team will permanently lose these players—and the final window to repair the ecosystem. IV. Optimizations Will Create a Win-Win for Experience & Commercial Value Conversely, if your team addresses these issues and implements core fixes, it will completely reverse the International Version's decline, creating massive gains for both player experience and revenue, and injecting long-term vitality: Eliminate the root cause of cheating, rebuild a fair environment, reward legitimate effort, and drastically boost retention and activity. Improve F2P experience, unlock spending willingness from low/mid-tier players, expand the paying user base, and drive stable revenue growth. Repair IP reputation, rebuild global player trust, and lay the groundwork for future plants, modes, and collaborations. Break the dead cycle of "content updates → unplayable due to barriers → wasted updates", making new content truly valuable. Reasonable reductions in grind are not sacrificing profits—they are rebuilding a healthy ecosystem for sustainable long-term revenue. V. Core Optimization Suggestions (Balancing Experience & Commercial Sustainability) Add a targeted Seed Packet exchange system (via Event Tokens, Endless Coins, etc.) to fix random, non-pity drops and provide predictable progression. Drastically increase Coin & Seed Packet rewards from regular levels, Endless Zone, and events to ensure effort yields meaningful returns. Slash upgrade costs for Level 20+ and Mastery 1–200 across the board, removing the astronomical barrier. Allow F2P players to max core plants and low spenders to progress efficiently. Add 1-Tap Upgrade/Level-Up functions to streamline repetitive tasks and improve quality of life. Shorten plant re-run cycles and establish a fixed schedule to reduce the gap between new and veteran players. Boost daily F2P resource income to eliminate the core motivation for cheating, encouraging legitimate players to return and stay. We sincerely hope the development team will acknowledge the fatal flaws in the current progression system, abandon the unreasonable grind, return to the strategic roots of tower defense, and listen to the core demands of legitimate players worldwide. This request is not about sacrificing commercial interests—it is about achieving a true win-win for player experience, revenue, and long-term health through balanced adjustments. It will save the collapsing legitimate ecosystem, unlock the game's full long-term commercial potential, and let loyal PvZ fans worldwide rediscover the joy and hope this classic franchise deserves. Let Plants vs. Zombies 2 (International) once again become a beloved, fair, and well-designed tower defense masterpiece for players around the globe. Issues with Username Management in the New Version On the game's initial welcome screen, many users are unable to delete extra usernames and cannot edit any username at all. This is a tricky core issue, and it is recommended to fix it immediately. Issue of Background Music Repeating Across All Scenes The background music in all scenes of the client (including the game's initial interface, in-level gameplay, illustration gallery, map, etc.) will start repeating when the user returns to the client after triggering actions such as exiting the game, switching to the device background, or locking the screen, resulting in two overlapping audio tracks. Animation display issues When plants or zombies are affected by slowdown effects, it causes frame drops. Issue of attacks by Photinia Explorer and zombies summoned by Dr. Zomboss Address the problem that Photinia Explorer cannot attack ice blocks, as well as the issue that incompletely emerged zombies summoned by Dr. Zomboss cannot be attacked. This will improve the game's attack mechanics and avoid unreasonable immunity situations. Problem of the Excessively High Attack Delay of the Melon-Pult and the Winter Melon-Pult Currently, the delay from the moment when the Melon-Pult and the Winter Melon-Pult raise their heads to the moment when they throw bullets is too high, which seriously affects the efficiency of defeating zombies. It is recommended to reduce the delay by referring to the first generation of the game. At the same time, the action of raising their heads before throwing should be retained to maintain the rhythm and predictability of the attacks. Overlapping Shadow Problem of Zombies and Plants Fix the problem that when the shadows of multiple zombies or plants overlap, the shadow color will be deepened, ensuring the normal visual effect of the game screen and improving players' gaming experience. Visual Overlapping Problem of Multiple Fire Effects Fix the problem that when multiple fire bullets or other forms of fire overlap, the color of the fire edge will be deepened, ensuring the normal visual effect of the game screen and improving players' gaming experience. Level Music Problems in Different Worlds Previously, in the Chinese version, each world only had the standard level music, without special level music and mini-level music; now it is the opposite. The Chinese version has fixed this problem, but in the international version, each world only has the standard level music, without special level music and mini-level music. It is recommended to fix this bug immediately. Pausing Unable to Be Used Continuously When the pause button is clicked in a level, in the current version, it is not possible to click the same pause button again to continue the game like in the old version. Problem of the Disappearance of the Treasure Yeti Even after connecting to the Internet, the Treasure Yeti still cannot appear in any level, so it is impossible to obtain the rewards and achievements for defeating the Treasure Yeti. Problem with the Display of the Plant Selection Interface For example: In the Rock Age, the Lily Pad should not be recommended for use, but the Lily Pad can still be selected and planted on terrain that is not suitable for the Lily Pad itself. For example: In the Pirate Seas, the Grave Buster should not be recommended for use, but the Grave Buster can still be selected… Abnormal situations that may occur after watching an advertisement The Android & iOS versions of Plants vs. Zombies 1 may have problems such as stuttering, frame drops, or missing music and sound effects after watching an advertisement. Issues with Username Management in the New Version On the game's initial welcome screen, many users are unable to delete extra usernames and cannot edit any username at all. This is a tricky core issue, and it is recommended to fix it immediately. Issue of Background Music Repeating Across All Scenes The background music in all scenes of the client (including the game's initial interface, in-level gameplay, illustration gallery, map, etc.) will start repeating when the user returns to the client after triggering actions such as exiting the game, switching to the device background, or locking the screen, resulting in two overlapping audio tracks. Animation display issues When plants or zombies are affected by slowdown effects, it causes frame drops. Issue of attacks by Photinia Explorer and zombies summoned by Dr. Zomboss Address the problem that Photinia Explorer cannot attack ice blocks, as well as the issue that incompletely emerged zombies summoned by Dr. Zomboss cannot be attacked. This will improve the game's attack mechanics and avoid unreasonable immunity situations. Problem of the Excessively High Attack Delay of the Melon-Pult and the Winter Melon-Pult Currently, the delay from the moment when the Melon-Pult and the Winter Melon-Pult raise their heads to the moment when they throw bullets is too high, which seriously affects the efficiency of defeating zombies. It is recommended to reduce the delay by referring to the first generation of the game. At the same time, the action of raising their heads before throwing should be retained to maintain the rhythm and predictability of the attacks. Overlapping Shadow Problem of Zombies and Plants Fix the problem that when the shadows of multiple zombies or plants overlap, the shadow color will be deepened, ensuring the normal visual effect of the game screen and improving players' gaming experience. Visual Overlapping Problem of Multiple Fire Effects Fix the problem that when multiple fire bullets or other forms of fire overlap, the color of the fire edge will be deepened, ensuring the normal visual effect of the game screen and improving players' gaming experience. Level Music Problems in Different Worlds Previously, in the Chinese version, each world only had the standard level music, without special level music and mini-level music; now it is the opposite. The Chinese version has fixed this problem, but in the international version, each world only has the standard level music, without special level music and mini-level music. It is recommended to fix this bug immediately. Pausing Unable to Be Used Continuously When the pause button is clicked in a level, in the current version, it is not possible to click the same pause button again to continue the game like in the old version.

For example: In the Pirate Seas, the Grave Buster should not be recommended for use, but the Grave Buster can still be selected... Abnormal situations that may occur after watching an advertisement The Android & iOS versions of Plants vs. Zombies 1 may have problems such as stuttering, frame drops, or missing music and sound effects after watching an advertisement. I. Language and System Adaptation Multilingual Support It is recommended to add more language adaptations, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Hindi, Malay, etc. Currently, there are a large number of Chinese players in the international version. Adapting to Chinese can significantly enhance their gaming experience and also attract more players from different regions. Recommendations on Promoting Full-Platform Ecosystem Layout Currently, Huawei HarmonyOS Next boasts substantial market potential. It is recommended to advance the full-platform ecosystem layout in the following directions: Establish a cross-platform cloud data interconnection system to fully cover the following mainstream operating systems and devices, and achieve full-region availability on corresponding app stores: Apple Ecosystem: iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS, tvOS – available on the Apple App Store in all regions; Huawei Ecosystem: HarmonyOS PC, HarmonyOS Mobile – available on Huawei AppGallery in all regions; Android Ecosystem: Android, Android TV – available on Android app stores such as Google Play and Amazon App Store in all regions; Microsoft Ecosystem: Windows x86, Windows x64, Windows Arm – available on platforms including but not limited to Microsoft Store and Steam. Core Value: By realizing real-time synchronization of data such as game progress, save files, and personalized settings, we eliminate barriers to device switching, create a seamless gaming experience for users, and further enhance user retention and brand competitiveness. II. Interface and Visual Optimization New Perspective Options It is recommended to provide three visual effect options for all game interfaces: "Ultra-high Perspective", "High Perspective", and "Low Perspective". Different players have different needs for the display of game screens: the high perspective allows players to obtain more comprehensive battlefield information, while the low perspective may focus more on local battles, meeting different strategic planning and visual preferences. Optimization Suggestions for Dynamic Welcome Interface Upon launching the game, the "EA PopCap" logo is displayed with stunning, elaborate animations paired with background music that syncs perfectly with the animation’s rhythm, replacing the current lackluster static display of the logo alone. Additionally, the dynamic Plants vs. Zombies-themed artwork activates its animations in real time as the game loads, rather than only starting the dynamic effects after the green progress bar completes. The dynamic welcome interface supports custom positioning for all character sprites, with their animations expanded far beyond simple back-and-forth swaying. This revamp delivers a fresher, more vibrant visual experience for players and even helps attract new players to the game. 【Enhanced Dynamic Visual Proposals for Characters】: Running, flying, being knocked back, blinking, and a rich array of real-time facial expressions—character animations are no longer limited to basic swaying motions. Customizable Sun Fall Speed Currently, the falling speed of sun is uniform in all optional mode levels, resulting in a relatively monotonous visual effect. It is suggested that in future versions, the falling speed of Regular Sun and Future World Explosive Sun can be independently optimized to a non‑linear speed—that is, the sun falls from fast to slow, enriching the layered animation effects. Of course, users shall have the right to keep the original sun fall speed unchanged. Suggestions for Optimizing Level Camera Movements The camera switching logic for all levels in the current version is a direct pan from the left lawn to the zombie camp on the right. Despite the smooth transition curve of the camera animation, the overall presentation is rather monotonous and fails to deliver a more immersive visual experience for players. It is recommended that the subsequent versions retain the original basic camera path: after panning from the left lawn to the zombie camp on the right, the camera continues to extend a short distance to the right, presenting a broader scene view briefly to enhance the sense of space in the level. The card selection interface should pop up synchronously the moment the camera finishes panning right and starts panning back left immediately. Linking the card selection phase with the dynamic camera transition not only makes the interface pop-up more natural and smooth but also boosts players' operational immersion. The smooth transition curve of the camera animation in the current version should be retained. This is a better alternative to the current version, where the card selection interface only pops up after the camera movement is completely finished, resulting in a slow pacing. 【This feature can refer to Plants vs. Zombies 2 Chinese Server & International Server】 Optimization of Plant & Zombie Shadow Forms The shadows of plants and zombies are not only no longer simple oval shapes, but also presented in the form of silhouettes, supporting real-time dynamic changes. Sun Falling Speed & Visual Appearance Optimization Currently in all custom mode levels, sunlight falls at a constant speed, resulting in a rather monotonous visual effect. It is recommended that in future updates, both normal sunlight and Far Future exploding sunlight be adjusted to a decelerating falling speed — speeding up first and then slowing down during descent — to enrich the layering of animation effects. When sunlight drops from the sky to the ground in levels, it currently casts a shadow. As sunlight itself is a luminous light source, casting a shadow is logically unrealistic and feels artificially designed. Instead of a shadow, sunlight should leave a glow halo at the landing spot. It is also recommended that nearby plants produce subtle light reflections from the sun halo. This will greatly enhance realism, immersion, and environmental interactivity. If this effect has high performance costs, it can be implemented in a future update. After the player collects sunlight into the sun meter, add a brief flashing animation to the sun meter. 【Reference inspiration: Plants vs. Zombies 3 (Chinese Server & Global Server)】 Display an indicator before planting a plant Before planting a plant, a red or green indicator showing the plant's effective range will appear. If the plant is to be planted on an unplantable tile, the indicator for its effective range will be red; if it is to be planted on a plantable tile, the indicator for its effective range will be green. For example: When planting a Cherry Bomb on a plantable tile, a 3x3 green range indicator will be displayed beforehand; when planting a Cherry Bomb on an unplantable tile, a 3x3 red range indicator will be displayed beforehand. For example: When planting a Peashooter on a plantable tile, a green range indicator covering 1 row ahead will be displayed beforehand. If there is a slope in front of the planting tile, the green range indicator for the 1 row ahead will be shortened. When planting a Peashooter on an unplantable tile, a red range indicator covering 1 row ahead will be displayed beforehand. For example: When planting a Puff-shroom on a plantable tile, a green range indicator covering 5 tiles within 1 row ahead will be displayed beforehand; when planting a Puff-shroom on an unplantable tile, a red range indicator covering 5 tiles within 1 row ahead will be displayed beforehand. Additionally, when dragging a plant card slot onto the grid, a white "cross" marker will appear on the interface. Currently, although this marker can cross normally, the grid cell at the intersection has a significantly darker white tone. It is recommended to adjust the white tone of the grid cell at the intersection to match that of the non-intersecting grid cells, so as to enhance visual comfort. 【This feature can be referenced from Plants vs. Zombies 3】 Expansion and Optimization of the "Acceleration" Button within the Level It is recommended that the "Acceleration" button within the level supports enabling and disabling even when the level is paused, making it more user-friendly. Innovative Dynamic Visual Solutions Each time the game is launched, the dynamic welcome interface is always loaded before "EA PopCap". It features animations such as running, flying, being knocked into the air, opening/closing eyes, and a variety of real-time changing expressions. Character animations should not be limited to swaying back and forth; instead, they should move and change their positions to avoid monotony. Optimization of Obstacle Appearance It is recommended that all tombstones appear simultaneously when entering the level to achieve a more unified and coordinated visual effect. It is suggested that when all tombstones and other obstacles are attacked, the flickering white light should be changed back to the fade-in and fade-out visual effect. Level Victory Special Effects When any level is won, all obstacles (such as tombstones, arcade machines, ice blocks, etc.) will automatically shatter and disappear, making the game interface cleaner. At the same time, it brings players a sense of victory accomplishment and visual satisfaction. At the moment of winning a regular level, all plants on the field simultaneously enter a cheering mode. They convey the joy of victory with vivid gestures, allowing players to deeply immerse themselves in the scene and generate emotional resonance. In the battle mode, this effect is adaptively synchronized — plants on the winning side cheer enthusiastically in celebration, while those on the losing side show a dejected and droopy look. The distinct emotional contrast enhances the immersive experience of the battle! "Choose Your Plants" Interface Function Expansion The "Choose Your Plants" interface is divided into two sections: Plants and Lineups. The Plants section allows normal plant selection, and also automatically supports reusing the previous round’s card slot lineup and clearing all currently selected plant card slots. The Lineups section supports customizing and saving card slot lineups, as well as setting custom lineup names. 【This feature can refer to Plants vs. Zombies 2 Chinese Version】 Visual Optimization of Scaredy-shroom The current appearance of Scaredy-shroom in Plants vs. Zombies 2 International Version does not align with the general aesthetic preferences of players. It has even been criticized on social platforms unique to China. It is suggested that the appearance of Scaredy-shroom in the International Version be adjusted to be more in line with its design in the Chinese Version: optimize its eyes to a more lively black style, make the thickness of its stipe uniform, refine the design of its mouth, and retain its original eyebrow details. 【If you don't quite understand the content of the description, you can refer to the attached video!】 Doom-shroom Appearance Optimization It is recommended to enhance the appearance layering of the Doom-shroom. For example, keep the color of its stipe lighter at all times. In the 3rd stage (i.e., the largest size form), the stipe can be slimmer while the cap remains unchanged to improve visual expressiveness. 【This appearance can refer to the Doom-shroom in Plants vs. Zombies 1】 Optimization of Animation Effects for Wall-Nut & Explode-O-Nut In the old version, the animation effects of Wall-Nut were more vivid than those in the current version, featuring a pseudo-3D effect — it would occasionally turn around actively to observe the situation behind it. However, the current version has simplified this animation to only eye-rolling for observation. It is recommended to optimize and adjust this: enable both Wall-Nut and Explode-O-Nut to not only roll their eyes but also turn around synchronously with the direction of their gaze, restoring a more lively animation performance. Optimization of "Z Corp" Terrain Textures In the current version, there is a meaningless pile of feces on the far right of the terrain texture in the "Z Corp" level; failing to remove it is likely to severely negatively impact the player experience. It is also recommended to repair the broken glass on the far right of the terrain texture in the "Z Corp" level to intact glass. III. Optimization of Plant and Zombie Mechanisms Enhanced Abilities of Sun-producing Plants We are well aware that in the older versions of Plants vs. Zombies 2, each medium sun is worth 25 sun points, and plants can generate 6 medium suns (equaling 150 sun points) with their Plant Food ability. However, after subsequent version updates, each medium sun was adjusted to 50 sun points. Though the total sun output of 150 points remains unchanged, it is now condensed into only 3 suns. We propose that all sun-producing plants shall generate 6 sun pieces when activating their Plant Food ability. Examples: At Level 1, Sunflower produces 6 medium suns via Plant Food, totaling 300 sun points. At Level 1, Sun-shroom instantly matures upon using Plant Food, then spawns 6 large suns, totaling 450 sun points. At Level 1, Twin Sunflower generates 7 medium suns with Plant Food, totaling 350 sun points. Sound Effect Optimization for Pea-type Plants’ Projectile Firing When any pea-type plant (e.g., Peashooter & Gatling Pea & Threepeater & Fire Peashooter…) is planted in a level and fires pea projectiles, it will trigger a “pop!” sound effect instead of the “fwoosh!” sound effect used in the current version. This adjustment will unify the sound effects for both normal attacks and ultimate skills of pea-type plants! 【This feature can refer to Plants vs. Zombies 3 (Chinese Server & International Server)】 Optimization of the Linkage of Tile Turnip When the Tile Turnip triggers a joint special move, if some tiles are empty (without plants), when a plant is planted in this state, the plant should automatically obtain the special move effect to avoid the waste of special move resources; at the same time, ensure that there is no delay in the joint special move of the Tile Turnip, so that the player's operation can take effect in a timely manner, improving the smoothness and strategic nature of the game. Gatling Pea: Element Fusion & Performance Enhancement Gatling Pea can permanently fuse with other elemental pea plants via stacked planting, with no restrictions on planting order (it works whether you plant Gatling Pea first or the elemental pea first). Fusable pea types: Fire Pea, Ice Pea, Electric Pea, Poison Pea, Shadow Pea, Primal Pea, Snap Pea, Triple Pea. The game design team can expand fusion compatibility later by introducing new elemental pea variants. Players can repeatedly stack different elemental peas to switch Gatling Pea’s elemental form. Stacking two Gatling Peas together will fuse them into an Ultimate Gatling Pea, which boasts drastically higher tactical value than a regular unfused Gatling Pea. Players may also re-stack various elemental peas to alter the Gatling Pea’s elemental form as needed. When Gatling Pea activates its Ultimate Ability, it fires a massive fan-shaped volley of peas. Unlike its original Ultimate, the number of peas covering its lane will not drop, significantly raising its tactical effectiveness! 【This mechanic references Super Gatling Pea from Plants vs. Zombies 2 Chinese Version】 Optimization of Hypnotic Mushroom Tactics After a zombie finishes eating the Hypnotic Mushroom, the zombie will be healed to full health. Coconut Cannon Tactical Optimization The Coconut Cannon can be as tough as the Nut & Peashooter. Moreover, the cannonballs it fires can knock back zombies, but there is a prerequisite: the cannonball will only explode after pushing the zombies a short distance to the right. It will not explode immediately upon contact with the zombies, which would otherwise cause the zombies to be knocked back right away. Compatibility of Garlic & Chard Guard with Nut Bind Currently, there are certain limitations to the combined use of Garlic & Chard Guard and Nut Bind, which prevents their synergistic effects from being fully utilized. To further enrich the strategic dimensions within the game, enhance the diversity and fun of gameplay combinations, it is recommended to optimize the mechanism to allow Garlic to be applied in "Nut Bind," thereby creating more tactical matching space for players. Optimization of Palm Tree of Doom & Sweet Potato's Special Ability Effects When the special ability is activated, both Palm Tree of Doom and Sweet Potato will be covered with a layer of armor, which significantly enhances their resistance to being gnawed. This effectively extends their on-field crowd-control duration and creates more opportunities for other plants to deal damage. As a unique advantage of Palm Tree of Doom, when its armor is completely gnawed away by zombies, it will additionally trigger a Jalapeno-style area burning effect. This is similar to the mechanism of the "Armor-equipped Explode-O-Nut" — while the protection fails, it completes secondary crowd control and damage supplementation, further enhancing its combat value. Optimization of Explorer Zombie's Mechanism After the torch of an Explorer Zombie is extinguished, it cannot be re-ignited in any form. Otherwise, fire-element plants would be forced to become "traitors"—and they certainly don’t want to be "traitors"! This optimization (preventing the torch from being re-ignited in any way) allows plants to avoid becoming traitors as they wish; instead, they can serve as reliable helpers in defeating the evil zombies! Adjustments to Flame Projectile Effects Regarding the issue that flame projectiles (such as the fireballs launched by Peashooters or Meteor Flowers) have no effect on Hot Date Imp Zombies, it is proposed that flame projectiles should deal the same damage to Hot Date Imp Zombies as their non-flame counterparts, while their burning effects will be nullified. This change eliminates the unreasonable immunity mechanism while maintaining the balance of gameplay. Improvements to the Effects of Iceberg Lettuce and Tangle Kelp For Iceberg Lettuce, its freezing effect should be changed from single-target freezing to group freezing within a single grid. This enhancement to its crowd control ability would make it more effective against hordes of zombies. For Tangle Kelp, its damage effect should be adjusted from single-target damage to area damage within a single grid, similar to that of the Squash. This change would improve its practicality and value in the game. The armor mechanisms of Parasol Zombie and Excavator Zombie The armor of both Parasol Zombie and Excavator Zombie can be shot down. Additionally, the shovel of Excavator Zombie can be absorbed by Magnet-shroom. These features enhance the strategic depth of the game, allowing players to reasonably select plants to counter these zombies based on their weaknesses. Expanded Functions of Torchwood When Torchwood is defeated or shoveled, it triggers the effect of a Jalapeno. It also has high health. When zombies approach, it can attack zombies within a close 1×3 area and can ignite more types of projectiles! For example: it can ignite projectiles from Puff-shroom, Fume-shroom, Sea-shroom, Scaredy-shroom, Laser Bean, Coconut Cannon, Magnifying Grass, Bowling Bulb, Rotobaga, Cactus, Starfruit, Goo Peashooter, Shadow Peashooter, and Heath Seeker with yellow flame, blue flame, or purple flame! As long as there is a Torchwood on the battlefield, Heath Seeker will automatically pass through the Torchwood with the highest damage flame first, then deal damage to zombies on the field! 【Purple flame is an exclusive element from the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2.】 Improved Effects for Explode-O-Nut, Date Palm and Torchwood When Explode-O-Nut or Date Palm is shoveled up, it will automatically trigger an explosion effect. The explosion effect will also be activated when the Nut Heal ability is used. Even if they are burned down by the flames of Flame Zombies, the explosion effect can still be triggered. These improvements enrich their usage methods and tactical value, allowing players to have more strategic choices in the game. Explode-O-Nut, Palm Tree of Doom, and Torchwood now feature enhanced explosion effects Automatic Explosion Trigger: When removed (either by zombies, player action, or other means), they will detonate, dealing damage to nearby zombies. Bandage Bomb Bonus: Applying the "Nut Bandage Technique" (or similar healing/boosting abilities) triggers an additional explosion, providing tactical opportunities for area damage. Fire-Resistant Detonation: Even if burned by a Torch Zombie's flames, these plants will still explode upon destruction, ensuring their defensive value is maintained. Improvement of Durian's Effect Considering that consuming durian may cause diarrhea, it is suggested to set zombies as a group allergic to durian pulp. When a zombie finishes eating the durian shell, 3 pieces of durian pulp with eyes and a mouth will be left. When each piece of durian pulp is completely eaten, it will trigger an effect similar to that of "Chili Bean". Adjustment to Potato Mine's Mechanism When the Potato Mine is unearthing, it will be ignored by zombies. Moreover, zombies will automatically stay on the grid where the Potato Mine is planted, waiting for it to fully emerge. Once the Potato Mine is unearthed, the zombies will show the frightened animation and sound effects similar to those of the Jack-in-the-Box Zombie. Finally, the Potato Mine will explode, turning the zombies into ashes. This adjustment will make the whole process more vivid and lively. Optimization of Citron's Projectiles After the complete plasma sphere launched by Citron eliminates zombies, remaining plasma spheres can stay on the field to damage subsequent zombies until they exit the 场外 (playing field) or are completely consumed. This fully utilizes projectile resources and enhances its attack effectiveness. If Citron is shoveled away or eliminated midway through charging, it can still launch the remaining plasma spheres, accompanied by a death animation similar to that of the Torchwood, making the game's operations and combat performance smoother and more natural. Comprehensive Performance Optimization of the Magnifying Grass When the bullets fired by the Magnifying Grass fly out of the field and do not cause any damage to any objects, each corresponding bullet supports the refund of 50 suns. And after the Magnifying Grass eliminates a zombie, the zombie will turn into ashes. Expansion of target range for various plants Threepeater, Applemortar: If placed in an edge lawn grid, they will fire 2 projectiles in the middle row of their own range, and 1 projectile in the 1st or 3rd row of the range. This optimization can effectively reduce resource waste. Lava Guava's damage is increased When zombies approach Lava Guava, it will immediately explode, causing 1,800 damage to a 3x3 area (similar to the effect of Cherry Bomb), and leave lava that inflicts secondary damage on zombies. 【This feature can refer to the Intensive Carrot in Plants vs. Zombies 2 Chinese version.】 Expansion of the Function of Intensive Carrot Intensive Carrot can revive plants that have been uprooted, plants carried away by parrots, and one-time-use plants that have been used. If Intensive Carrot is used to revive a plant with a sun cost lower than its own, the sun cost for reviving via Intensive Carrot shall be equal to the sun cost of that plant (the plant with a sun cost lower than Intensive Carrot). If Intensive Carrot is used to revive a plant with a sun cost higher than its own, the sun cost for reviving via Intensive Carrot shall be based on its own sun cost. For example: When reviving Gold Bloom, the sun cost is 0. For example: When reviving Gatling Pea, the sun cost is Intensive Carrot’s own sun cost. 【This feature can refer to the Intensive Carrot in Plants vs. Zombies 2 Chinese version.】 Optimization of the bullet tracking of the Homing Thistle After the Homing Thistle eliminates a zombie, the remaining bullets should automatically attack the next target instead of flying out of the field. This can make full use of the Homing Thistle's attack resources, improve its attack efficiency, enhance its in-game performance, and meet players' expectations for high-efficiency attacking plants. 【This feature can refer to the Homing Thistle and Cattail in Plants vs. Zombies 2 Chinese version.】 Tactical Optimization After Zombie Elimination Once a zombie’s head is blown off, its body should collapse immediately. This not only reduces the waste of already-fired projectiles, but also allows pitcher-type plants to target the next zombie, helping to improve combat efficiency. When a zombie is eliminated by the projectiles of a Fire Peashooter, its body should turn to ashes instead of losing its head. Standardize the animation duration for all zombies turning to ashes simultaneously to ensure more coordinated and comfortable visual effects. When any zombie carrying Chlorophyll turns to ashes, the Chlorophyll should drop immediately—there is no need to wait until the zombie has fully turned to ashes and the ashes have disappeared before the Chlorophyll is dropped. Optimization of actions after eliminating zombies Once the zombie's head is knocked off, its body should immediately fall down. This can not only reduce the waste of fired bullets, but also enable pitcher-type plants to attack the next target instead of attacking the zombie's body, which is beneficial for improving efficiency. After a zombie is eliminated by the bullets of Fire Peashooter, its body should turn into ashes instead of losing its head. Standardize the animation time period for each zombie that turns into ashes simultaneously, making the visual effects more coordinated and comfortable. Behavior Expansion of Controlling the Boos When the aiming reticle of the Boos' upcoming cannonball throw appears on the grid, by using the aiming reticle of chlorophyll acting on the plant, or the aiming reticle of the shovel placed on the plant, or the aiming reticle of the shovel and chlorophyll placed on an empty grid, this aiming reticle can be immediately eliminated, thus preventing the plants from being damaged. In addition, when the shovel eliminates the aiming reticle, it will not uproot the plant. After eliminating the aiming reticle through the above two methods, you can control the Boos and make it stunned. After the symptoms of being stunned subside, the Boos can continue to engage in the battle. Optimization of the Functions of Sun-producing Plants It is hoped that Twin Sunflower and Gold Bloom can have no cooldown time at the start of a level, just like Sun-shroom and Sunflower, allowing immediate use. It is also hoped that, similar to the Chinese version, in levels of the "Endless Siege" type, a large number of Gold Blooms can be used as sun sources before clicking "Start Battle". After "Start Battle" is activated, the planted Gold Blooms can release a large amount of sun, with no limit on the number of Gold Blooms planted. This feature has been highly praised by many players of the Chinese version! In levels of the "Endless Siege" type, a large number of sun-producing plants such as various types of Sunflowers, Sun-shrooms, and Solar Sages can also be used as sun sources before "Start Battle". There is no need for any waiting after all plants are planted — once "Start Battle" is clicked immediately, all Sunflowers on the battlefield will produce sun right away, while Sun-shrooms will first produce 25 sun and then grow up instantly afterward. This feature is also sure to be loved by players and will improve gameplay efficiency! 【If you don't quite understand the content of the description, you can refer to the attached video!】 Optimization of the Functions of Sun-producing Plants It is hoped that Twin Sunflower and Gold Bloom can be exempt from the cooldown time at the start of a level, just like Sun-shroom and Sunflower, and can be used directly. It is hoped that, similar to the Chinese server, a large number of Gold Blooms can be used as a sun source before "Starting Battle" in "Indestructible"-type levels. After "Starting Battle," the planted Gold Blooms can release a large amount of sun, and there is no limit on the number of plantings. This feature has received a lot of praise from many Chinese server players! 【If you don't quite understand the content of the description, you can refer to the attached video!】 IV. Addition of New Game Modes and Content Cumulative Login Days Reward Mechanism It is recommended to add a permanent cumulative login reward mechanism to the game, realizing a win-win situation of entertainment and reward benefits. Examples: 100 total login days: 20,000 Coins + 20 Chocolates + 50 Insecticides 200 total login days: 50,000 Coins + 30 Chocolates + 60 Insecticides 300 total login days: 80,000 Coins + 40 Chocolates + 70 Insecticides 500 total login days: 100,000 Coins + 50 Chocolates + 80 Insecticides 1000 total login days: 500,000 Coins + 100 Chocolates + 180 Insecticides... 【Independent of the existing daily check-in mechanism in the current version】 Return of Chlorophyll Ultimate & Auto Mini-Ultimate Mechanics Definition of Chlorophyll Ultimate Upgrade a designated plant slot to Gold Tier within the Zen Garden. Planting the plant from this slot in battle triggers its Ultimate Ability every time. Feed Chlorophyll to a plant already placed on the battlefield to activate its Ultimate. Drag Chlorophyll onto a plant slot: the slot gains one Ultimate charge, and its cooldown is fully reset instantly. 【This mechanic applies to both Plant and Zombie factions in 1v1 Duels and 2v2 Duels. Reference: Plants vs. Zombies 2 International Version】 Definition of Auto Mini-Ultimate Once a plant slot is upgraded to Mastery Tier, the plant will automatically cast a Mini-Ultimate at fixed intervals during combat. This system is separate from the Chlorophyll Ultimate featured in Plants vs. Zombies 2. Examples: Mastery Sunflower: Generates 100 Sun at regular intervals Mastery Peashooter: Fires a burst of six peas at regular intervals Mastery Wall-nut: Restores 10% of its maximum health at regular intervals Mastery Bonk Choy: Deals moderate damage to all targets within its 3×3 radius at regular intervals Mastery Laser Bean: Deals moderate damage across its entire lane at regular intervals Mastery Snapdragon: Deals moderate damage to the 3×3 area directly in front of it at regular intervals Mastery Ghost Pepper: Deals moderate damage within its own 3×3 radius at regular intervals Mastery Oak Archer (China-Exclusive Plant): Launches upward attacks periodically, dealing moderate damage to all zombies and obstacles across the map 【This mechanic works for Plant and Zombie sides in 1v1 Duels and 2v2 Duels. Reference sources: discontinued Plants vs. Zombies Mini Program Edition, Endless Edition, and polished fan-made mods. None of these builds feature paywalled plant progression, which is our target design. We must strictly avoid the overpriced, grind-heavy plant upgrade system from Plants vs. Zombies 2 International Version.】 Introduction of Next Wave Button & Fast Farming System The Next Wave button features the head of a regular zombie grinning widely with its eyes slightly rolled upwards. It has a semi-transparent pure white background and an octagonal shape, ideally with a liquid glass effect. A non-linear countdown progress bar runs along the octagonal border. Once the progress bar finishes, the next wave will be triggered automatically, delivering a more striking, vivid and intuitive visual experience. By tapping rapidly or holding down the Next Wave button, players can eliminate large numbers of zombies efficiently in a short time while plants are using their Plant Food abilities. The number of refreshed waves will also be displayed. This mechanic frees players from repetitive rapid tapping, making level runs much easier and enabling quick level completions. It brings exciting gameplay and a strong sense of accomplishment to players. Officially verified as a legitimate feature, it will not disrupt game balance. Since its launch, this function has won wide praise and high recognition among Chinese players. If you do not wish to eliminate hordes of zombies quickly by tapping or holding the Next Wave button during plant ability activations, you may toggle off the Enable Fast Farming System option in the game pause menu to return to casual tower defense gameplay. Given that this mechanic greatly enhances gameplay fun and strategic diversity, it is recommended to introduce it to the international version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. This addition will bring fresh fun to international players, boost the game's overall appeal and global player activity, and further enrich the diverse gameplay ecosystem of Plants vs. Zombies 2. 【Refer to the exclusive Fast Farming mechanic in Plants vs. Zombies 2 (Chinese Server) for this feature. In this game version, fast farming is essential to maintain high rankings across timed competitive modes including Endless Challenge, ZomBotany League and Penny's Pursuit. Topwell Official has verified that fast farming is completely legitimate as long as no cheats or auto-clickers are used. Check the attached video for extra explanation if needed.】 Chinese Version Exclusive Feature: Relics In the Chinese Version of Plants vs. Zombies 2, the Relics system provides abundant tactical choices and greatly changes battlefield situations. Higher-level Relics deliver more powerful effects. We suggest adding the Relics system to the International Version. Please provide all players with tutorials on how to use Relics, as well as guides on using Relics to perform Fast Rush. Refer to the attached video for more details if needed. All Level Mechanic Optimizations & Feature Expansions In Pick Your Own Plants levels and Use Selected Plants levels, Twin Sunflower and Primal Wall-nut? No, correct terms: Twin Sunflower and Gold Bloom can be used instantly with no cooldown at the start of the level, just like Sun-shroom and Sunflower. In Endless Toughness levels, players may plant plenty of sun-producing plants (e.g. Sun-shroom, Gold Bloom, Sunflower, Sun Sage) and Power Lily for sun and Plant Food before tapping Start Battle. After starting the battle: planted Gold Bloom will generate massive sun instantly; Sun-shroom, Sunflower and Twin Sunflower will produce sun right away. Sun-shroom will fully mature immediately after generating sun with no waiting time. Power Lilies will generate Plant Food, and there is no planting limit for Power Lily. (This feature is well-received by numerous players of the Chinese server.) Gold-tier plants raised in the Zen Garden have exclusive effects when placed in Endless Toughness levels, triggering their Plant Food abilities under the following three scenarios: Pre-set plants cast their Plant Food abilities automatically before Start Battle to clear obstacles. Pre-set plants unleash their Plant Food abilities instantly right after Start Battle, clearing obstacles and the first wave of incoming zombies for fast farming. These plants are surrounded by a silver aura before the battle starts, and the aura fades once the ability is activated. Pre-set plants can be manually activated by tapping them at the optimal timing after Start Battle to clear sudden obstacles and incoming zombies for fast farming, without consuming any Plant Food. These plants are surrounded by a golden aura before the battle starts, and the aura fades once the ability is activated. Mechanic Optimization for Penny's Pursuit Batteries consumed during a run in Penny's Pursuit will not be deducted even if the player fails the level. If players lose in any Penny's Pursuit Boss level, they can retry the stage without losing access to the Boss challenge. This adjustment makes the overall mechanics more reasonable. Resource Collection Method Expansion It is suggested that the following functions can be independently toggled on or off, just like the "Speed Up" button is unconditionally available to free users: Regular sun can be automatically collected before landing, i.e., immediately when it appears, without waiting for it to fall to the ground. Explosive sun in the Future world will be collected instantly the moment it lands. Automatic collection of Plant Food. Automatic collection of virtual currencies such as coins, silver coins, diamonds, and plant fragments.

There is a sync bug in PvZ2.. And when I open the home page, it looks like it's downloading additional data even though I've already downloaded all the assets. When entering penny's pursuit/arena/adventure/almanac/shop/dan garden always download asset data.. Using too much data and battery.. And after I bought the Cold Snapdragon plants, after completing the challenge the PopUp Unlocked Cold Snapdragon always appears... Please fix it! Every time I open the game it always happens, I'm so annoyed This is my Player ID, Fix it immediately!!19Views0likes0CommentsPlease. Do something about the state of PvZ
The state of this game is becoming miserable. Slingshot games is constantly dragging this game through the mud, the animations for the plants are mostly awful, just compare the old artists work to the current. The balancing is bad too, with either broken or underwhelming plants. Dont spam plants, just keep working one and refine it and then move onto the next instead of just rushing every month. New plants arent the only content that can be added. I am aware popcap is not in development anymore since they are working on pvz2. I have noticed that we are also being ignored. Yes, we know that. The OP on the socials does not respond to feedback or comments about the state of the games. Please do something about this, passion = profit. Why do you think Triple A studios such as steam and fromsoftware perform so well? This is also time to talk about PvZ replanted, this game could of revived the franchise. But it HAD to use AI. No, saying on social media that it doesnt use generative AI doesnt make it any better. It uses AI upscaling. It is lazy and uncreative. Plus, going out of the way to fake concept art of the original artist is beyond disrispectful, why would the company do that??? GW2. The state of this game on PC is abysmall. The hacker situation is still a problem and NOTHING is being done about it. It is being ignored on social media. This is going to be reposted every so often until it gathers attention.17Views0likes0Comments- 9Views0likes0Comments

Hi, I changed from an iPhone 15 to an iPhone 16 Pro Max. Game Center still recognizes my account (Mache_79), but Plants vs Zombies 2 only loads a new profile called “User Dave” and my old progress is missing. I already tried reinstalling the game, reconnecting Game Center, restarting my device, and waiting for cloud sync, but the old save still does not appear. Could you please help me restore my account/progress? I don’t want to lose all my previous levels and plants. I can provide any additional information if needed, including screenshots or purchase receipts. Thank you for your help.30Views0likes0Comments
