[Resolved] Change the Mystery Portal Rotation, Please!
There are multiple achievements that are unobtainable at the moment (Check this post for more information about them) There are 5 achievements tied to game modes you cannot play anymore. How you used to play these game modes is when they would go live in the Town Hall Mystery Portal for a limited time. In January back in 2020, the Mystery Portal was changed. PopCap stopped supporting Garden Warfare 2 to continue development on Battle for Neighborville. To avoid shutting down the Mystery Portal, they made the Mystery Portal automated by making it rotate game modes based off of a list of what to play dependent on what month. The problem with this rotation is that they didn't include any live event game modes that have achievements tied to them. So at the moment, getting all GW2 achievements is actually impossible. (Check the post I linked above for what they are.) Current Rotation: - January: Lawn-A-Thon 1 - Febuary: Lawn-A-Thon 2 - March: Legends of the Brawl - April: Capture the Taco - May: Tactical Team Up - June: To Heal or Not - July: Rando's Rapid Revenge - August: Lawn-A-Thon 1 - September: Lawn-A-Thon 2 - October: Legends of the Brawl - November: To Heal or Not - December: Rando's Rapid revenge In my opinion, the most favorable option would be getting someone from the community to make a schedule everyone is happy with. A different solution that's automated, and easier to do would be exchanging some of the game mode repeats in the list for game modes like Cats vs. Dinos and Boss Hunt. For example, you can replace the repeated August Lawn-A-Thon 1 with Cats vs. Dinos, and September's Lawn-A-Thon 2 with Boss Hunt. All of the content with these game modes are in the game when you download it, so releasing an update that players need to download wouldn't be necessary. The only problem I see with this is that Boss Hunt has 4 different playable hunts, Brothers Gnomus, Yeti King, Spooky Squash, and Sasquatch. You would have to pick one of these to put into the rotation, but I think implementing a system that makes the game randomly pick one of them when you enter the portal to play is the best choice instead of picking 1 and neglecting the other 3.
PvZ GW2 on PC once again unplayable due to influx of hackers
As some of you are aware, Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 just turned 10 years old. The celebration that happened yesterday ended up attracting the attention of many hackers on the PC platform, who had made it so that every lobby was unplayable (everyone in the lobby would have 1hp and be invisible). This effectively made multiplayer not an option for anyone playing on PC and locked a major portion of the content of the game away. Multiple people have also gotten outright “banned” due to a leveling exploit applied to someone’s EA account that has been previously done before. It is not known exactly how this is done on such a scale like this, but it overall has ruined the PC platform’s experience as we know it. Popcap Vancouver is no longer in service, this I know. They don’t have the team they did before to be able to uphold the game to the degree they did before. But at the same time, PvZ GW2 is a game that is still sold, still offered as a functioning product, and still enjoyed by thousands. EA, something, anything, needs to be done about this.
CROSSPLAY PLANTS VS. ZOMBIES...
Eu suplico a ajuda e atenção de todos os fãs que virem esse apelo, ajude a manter nosso jogo vivo por mais tempo! Contribuam aqui como puderem. Assunto: Solicitação urgente de Crossplay em Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare Mensagem: Prezada equipe da EA, Sou um grande fã de Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare e gostaria de sugerir, em nome da comunidade ativa, que considerem urgentemente adicionar a funcionalidade de crossplay ao jogo. Atualmente, a ausência do suporte multiplataforma está causando a redução significativa da base de jogadores, já que muitos amigos e grupos são impedidos de jogar juntos por estarem em diferentes consoles ou PC. Esse isolamento está levando ao abandono gradual do jogo, prejudicando tanto os jogadores quanto o potencial de lucro da EA com novas vendas ou microtransações. A inclusão do crossplay entre PC, Xbox e PlayStation poderia revitalizar imediatamente a comunidade, aumentando a longevidade do jogo e trazendo mais jogadores antigos e novos. Por favor, considerem esta solicitação como prioridade. A comunidade do jogo ficaria imensamente grata, e isso certamente seria benéfico também para a EA. Agradeço pela atenção e aguardo ansiosamente um retorno positivo! Atenciosamente, [Carlos felipe]
Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 1 will be shutdown on April 28, 2026 on PS3.
I'll be honest, I think this is a mistake. It's very strange that they decided to do this on the PS3 because Garden Warfare 1 on PS3 is still an extremely active game even today in 2026. (Not to mention that, unlike the Xbox 360 version, you can still buy things since the store is still active.) Whenever I logged in, I could find full lobbies with people, some even using voice chat every day. I'd even say there are more people playing GW1 on PS3 than on PS4, Xbox 360/One, and heck, even more than GW2 on PC. I even got the PS3 version to get the platinum trophy last year: https://x.com/i/status/1889893304600502681 I think this marks the beginning of the end for Garden Warfare 1. The PS3 version was definitely the most active; I don't see people abandoning GW2 or BFN on PS4/Xbox One/PC to go back to GW1, and there simply aren't many people on Xbox 360 these days.
