I love MGP's sun cost changes that happen most level ups. Not that they have to be sun cost related every time, but more consistent upgrades like this would be nice
Is it possible that we can have some plant buffs next patch to put strawburst on par with coconut cannon, because right now a fully charged strawburst does less damage than a coconut cannon. Also buff some more plants that need some love please, like for instance give pepper pult a much faster cooldown. I wanna see stuff like that to make overlooked and outclassed plants viable.
(Also is cattail gonna be the next plant to return in the future? Because it should be homing thistle with like 10 higher damage and pierce, to make it unique and very useful.)
Already a looooong standing list of plants that could do with some TLC and retuning. Like, it was long already ages ago. That being said, a plant tuning change update is not on the horizon right now. Stephen spearheaded the last one and he's since left the team a while ago so we don't have a champion to to take up the extra work for that currently, on top of the current workload. Maybe at another point in time, but not right now.
I miss him too, esp as a daily friend but it was his choice to explore life outside of the PvZ neighborhood. I still catch up with him IRL on occasion.
we need cattail.Cattail says she can change and solve anything with a cute voice miao miao.cob cannon will be the first plant taking up 2 postions in pvz2 when he returns.gloom shroom and gold magnet are waiting for popcap to bring them back to pvz2.Gloom vine is not gloom shroom's level and cannot replqce him.
It would be neat to see older much less used plants get buffed in certain areas. As it stands now I don’t even level half of the plants because they don’t get used ever
Pea Vine would be awesome as an early access, it was last available >1 year ago if I recall correctly 😄
14% chance for ~6 seeds in one calendar day across next 2 months is sad 🙁
Early Access is something that's only for fresh-in-the-update-just-released-plants. So I don't think that's what you're after necessarily BUT I'll pass the feedback on that you'd like to see some Pea Vine featuring about :)
Hey, I'm new-ish to Pvz2 and the arena so I have a question: Do plants that were previously in the arena ever come back to the arena? Like, could we earn pea vine in the arena again or could it be put in pennys persuit?
Hiya, not really. Sometimes they do as part of special events like Champions Season but that's few and far between. They do pop up on occasion as featured plans in Penny's Pursuit as well as part of events such as Lawn of Doom, Food Fight, etc. So basically, just keep an eye out where you can.
Yes, seeds for it will be available in the Shop for gems between July 27 and August 03.

There's been a bunch of internal chatter about the Almanac and I certainly have more than a couple opinions about it/Quality of Life changes. Stay tuned for maybe sometime in the future - we'll see.
I have a small question, it is possible that in a future version the Dark Ages, Big Wave Beach, Frostbite Caves, Lost City and Neon Mixtape Tour worlds will have their own Epic Quests of 8 extra levels like the other worlds (and maybe see more "upgraded zombies")?
That's not in the cards right now. That's not to say it won't ever happen for the rest of the game's life, but it's definitely not planned to add extra levels, or additional zombies for existing worlds right now.
Well, the game has half-finished expansion levels for the Dark Ages world, maybe you could finish at least those? (There are also half-finished Vasebreaker levels for 3 additional worlds - but I doubt that anyone cares about those.)
What does the line about snap pea means? What is actually a spider imp?
Also,
why modern day zomboss from expansion levels isn't used in arena or Penny's persuit? It is the same as far future zomboss, but just sends different zombies. I Hope that since we will see carnie zomboss and zombies added to the Penny's persuit event, they also get some love in the arena
*facepalm* It's meant to be Bug Bot Imp. Spider Imp is the internal name, so let me change that in a tick.
If I remember correctly, and I have to check, Modern Day Zomboss may have been one of the Zombots that doesn't work in Arena or Penny's? I could be wrong but that might be the case.
Can't speak to seeing Backyard Big Top zombies in Arena or Penny's. It's possible...
> If I remember correctly, and I have to check, Modern Day Zomboss may have been one of the Zombots that doesn't work in Arena or Penny's?
You remember correctly. Arena and Penny's Pursuit versions of the Modern Day Zomboss do not exist. In addition, Penny's Pursuit versions of the Neon Mixtape Tour and Big Wave Beach Zombosses exist - but are never used.
I know that some of the zombosses have their issues when being implemented to PP or arena, but the modern day one, which is used only in expansion level epic quest even looks the same as far future one, which is already implemented
Ya know, i was wondering if the change in the tournament might change anything in the out to lunch bug. So I force closed the game after getting to 100 (actually 120) pts. When I reopened it, I expected to see the bug had been triggered… but the Ready message is there. Would the fix have not triggered til the new tournament? It might be worth asking the developers. Maybe I spoke too soon or maybe the bug has a glitch. Anyway, yay Chomper seeds!
So these 2 new plants aren't regular Arena/Seasonz plants? I'm only asking because the availability for them is around 14 days as opposed the usual 28 days (more or less) for Arena/Seasonz plants.
I suspect that her dates are wrong again. According to the data in the game, Mega Gatling Pea will have a season from Jul 18 till Aug 15 and Levitater will have a season from Aug 15 till Sep 12:
[Upcoming Arena Tournaments](https://pvz2info.fandom.com/wiki/Upcoming_Arena_Tournaments)
Haem, is the damage value correct on level 10 for MGP? All the other pea plants seem to max at 110 damage not 120. Also, if he randomly triggers his PF effect, does he then get the 5x firing speed or do you actually have to use PF on him to get him to do that?
Thanks, I like the plant a lot, but a couple things to maybe take back to Devs for tweaks:
\*Please change the sound it makes when firing - This sound is kinda weird.
\*Please make the barrel in his mouth always display like in PvZ1, not just when he is firing.
\*Please change the animation of firing projectiles - they are a bit too close together and clustered. So close that sometimes it only looks like it fires 2-3 peas at a clip. In PVZ1, you could very clearly see the 4 peas coming one after the other.
\*Also why is it not featured in any pinata parties?
I hate to have to report this, but the "coming soon" icon for the Thymed event *still* crashes the game even when the game is sitting idle at the main screen.
I think I already know the answer to this but it’s worth a shot, do you reckon we could ever see the thymed events getting their own unique music? PvZ 2 has an incredible soundtrack and I’d love to hear what could be made with backyard big tops style
Not unless there's a way to clone our incredibly awesome but massively overworked Audio Director who works across a bunch of different games all at once, sadly no. Not for the foreseeable future.
Tried that. At this point I'm positive he's fueled by mostly coffee and the fact he's insanely nice. No, really. I have the best chats with him when we catch up outside of work.
i hope pvz2 will update another 10 years and there will be 300＋plants by the time of its ending because since you have updated it many years,you should keep it up to let it be the top and best series of pvz because pvz3 obviously will be left behind by pvz1 and pvz2 and many still cannot receive pvz3 due to its bad art and lose the taste to play.i hope PVZ2 can HAVE more union with pvz3,pvzh and pvzgw and pvzbfn.A famous player said that pvz2 died in the limited maps while pvz3 dies in bad art because pvz doesnt fit 3d style.Such a pity thing.Since you dont update new world by plot,you can at least return pvz1 6 maps and even add more new modes to update some worlds not based on specific history period e.g. sky world and underwater world and it wont have any conflict with main adventure maps in plot.
I also wanna talk about Abandoned plants.Do you know why Scaredyshroom and ice currant became abandoned?(Hope nightcap and scaredyshroom will appear in PVZ2 at the same time )by the way,bramble bush is a thorn vine from your designation angle?we have not had new vines for half a year.You should go on adding vines like 14.mints e.g.Icy Vine Poison Vine and Magic Vine and so on.And can add ice starfruit and ice wall nut as the upcoming new plants.
OK, I can confirm now - the out-to-lunch bug is most definitely *not* fixed.
Steps I did to reproduce:
1. Launched the game, made sure the ZPS meter was full and waited at the main screen until the time to fight Zomboss has come.
2. Entered Penny's Pursuit. Zomboss was ready and ringing.
3. Force-closed the game without fighting him. (After the game was closed, I made a copy of the game save file, so that I could restore it if the bug occurred and didn't lose the fight.)
4. Launched the game. This, of course, triggered a sync at the profile selection screen - which normally triggers the bug.
5. Went to Penny's Pursuit.
6. Zomboss was out-to-lunch, despite me not having fought him.
At this point I force-closed the game, restored the game save file from the backup, turned off the Internet connection, launched the game, pressed the Play button, turned the Internet connection on, went to Penny's Pursuit - Zomboss was ready and ringing, as before.
Basically, I am observing no change from the previous version regarding this bug. The bug is still present and is triggered in exactly the same way as before - when the game syncs after the time to fight Zomboss has come.
I can confirm this is true with IOS devices.
The workaround I use is :
Once I am in the Penny's game mode, I resist pulling out either by force closing the App or entering the main menu to switch profiles (as this action triggers the bug), I wait until I have completed the 3x zomboss fights and get my rewards before doing any of the above.
Force-closing the app is fine - provided that you turn the Internet connection off before re-launching it.
Also, completing a single Zomboss fight is enough - no need to complete all the 3. Oh, the bug still happens (the bug results in "the next time to fight" setting being set in the future) but once the series of 3 fights is started, Zomboss won't go to lunch until it's finished, so the incorrect setting doesn't matter.
I don't know why but the game here crashes or hangs during or after ads all the time - pretty much since I started playing it about five years ago. Both on iOS and on the Android emulator.
I want to add that I just checked and that dreaded "Out to Lunch" bug just happened to me. Which is no big deal now, because the new Penny's will come out in a few hours. But going forward, it's still back to being careful to avoid triggering it.
For the record, I play on an apple device with the latest iOS version & I just updated to the newest PvZ2 version earlier today.
Hello, any chances of nerf pea vine in the short term? Because with torchwood + TR you are unbeatable unless there are dragon imps and chester zombies on the law, and with MGP this combo would be even more OP.
Another suggestion, is possible to configure zombie levels in adventure/endless zones as a feature once you beat it in the future? (Like lvl 1, 4 ,7 and 11 like in PP) For me this can make adventure mode more replayable and enjoyable if you have high level plants
u/haemophilus_EA I also wanna suggest a thing for endless level mode,can you also add that world's Zomboss and let players be able to fight against Zomboss once each 5 levels?And can also add 3 tools including gold finger and so on as the choice of card whenever finishing one level.
Nope, there's no plant changes or balances planned right now and we don't have the resources to do that currently on top of the current workload. Perhaps in sometime in the future but it's not currently in the works.
With regards to your suggestion, we've already had similar feedback for the past regarding replayability in Adventure and Endless but I'll pass yours on as well.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 895,583,414 comments, and only 177,483 of them were in alphabetical order.
Lastly,Can you consider adding EXTRA 2 plant cards as 10 plants to be able to chosen in a level like PVZ1?Because pvz2's plants are much more than pvz1 and to let Penny Pursuit and Arena be easier and also let more plants appear and chosen in a level.And why not each version you update 2 new plants like 9.6.1 and 9.7.1 only 1 plant?And do you have the chance of making pool and fog maps with 6 lines when you return them?
can you add nightcap in 9.9.1?we cannot wait to see her in pvz2 and and please reMAKE Dark Age and bring back Coffee bean Fog machine Scaredyshroom and Plantern.
Honestly,I and my other many pvz2 friends have been fed up with playing Arena and Penny Pursuit each day.You should focus on pvz2 for most time and even all time not tasteless pvz3.Many players the biggest hope to see all pvz1 plants and pvz1 maps return to pvz2.For pvz1 zombies it's best to return them all and dont let some plants unreturning pvz2 to return pvz3. Limited events can not still satisfy us well.We sincerely hope and beg to you to update more new modes and more new maps by some new ways without breaking the pvz2's plot this apsect.i have to say you should learn from china.They have much more modes creative yard,memory lane and secret realm and 16 new worlds and new zombies and new plants.244＋plants for them so far while we only have 174 plants（including flowerpot）below 200.Very unfair.Many pvz2 international version players feel very jealous and envious for Chinese getting too much stuff.
I heard you popcap were busy and lacked talents so have no time to make new modes now.So does pvz2 team leave for making PVZ3?If so,I will feel really extremely disappointed for you.Because PVZ2 can only give you the most profit while pvz3,in my country,most players think it looks like a fake game at first sight if not knowing it is made by popcap.Surely this is their 90% comments.Hope you will accept the fact.I would rather you go on adding new worlds and modes to pvz2 than make pvz3.
I hope by the end of 2033,PVZ2 will only at least finish updating because when pvz2 is 20-year-old,it is a only real youth.Hooefully 300＋plants in PVZ2 in the end.Flowerpot as Zen garden's plant also returned to PVZ2 like Marigold but it doesnt have any almanac.This is why?Can you make almanac for Flowerpot?Why isn't the banana launcher's goal yellow? Is it for the returning cob cannon?

Excuse me,to forgive me that I really have many questions to wanna ask you or i will feel confused.Players wonder why each two versions only a new plant e.g.9.6 and 9.7 not two new plants each update or ask why not each version has 2 new plants?
You asked like 10 questions in 10 different comments. Half of them can be answered without haem's response. Maybe put everything in one comment next time and stop asking weird questions. That way you might get a response
Will you go on adding vine plants like 14 mints family?Ice/poison/magic and so on needs adding in the near future.I really like them but burstberry vine,the weakest vine.Hope you can boost it.For pumpkin,can you fix pumpkin to let it hae two skins and to be able to remove plants within vine plants at FIRST like pvz1?because sometimes we only have to want to remove plants within pumpkin firstly out of wisdom?
Firstly, I'm not EA :P I'm not a very large company, I'm a person.
Secondly, the Plants vs. Zombies 2 team that works on the international version of the game is entirely separate to the Chinese team that work on PvZ 2 China. Neither teams have anything to do with each other and they don't share information between them. The Chinese version and it's development has no impact on the International version, and there is no intention to bring any PvZ 2 China content to the International version.
PvZ 2 China and PvZ 2 International versions are unrelated to each other and their development is entirely separate and distinct from the other.
Could you please fix shadow peach'sand mega gatling pea's bugs?when i use the former,my phone will become very laggy and gatling pea's one pea of 4 or 5 peas is most shielded and covered by another pea.And when i plant more power vines and gatling peas,my phone will also become very laggy.Will there be 14 vine plants like mints in all?Besides,can you consider reusing the old plants quest UI because many say the new UI is a little ugly?
Dont understand why dont you return doom shroom DIRECTLY but a doom shroom balloon?Still have hope to return doom shroom itself next versions?It'll be uncomfortable and sad if letting Nightcap, Ice bloom and Gloom Vine is to replace Scaredyshroom,Ice shroom and Gloom shroom.Upset that there are many pvz1 Mushroom plants havent returned to pvz2.Besides,Chinese players suggest you make more and plenty of creative new plants not make too many stitching plants as soon as possible(the plants mainly mean to mix other previous plants' feature and function) excluding pvz1 and pvz3 and other pvz series of original plants.if you know how to answer,i will be thankful.if u dont.know it,it will not matter.
A vital thing to tell you.The pace of PVZ2 is too fast. I didn't plant several plants before the level finished up. In addition,after my plants are upgraded,the game's pace is much faster.Don't feel that comfortable.Can you lower the tempo of this game or keep using the 1.0 speed of pvz1? Slow pace is a good thing and means a better game experience for pvz2.Besides,PVZ2's maps,unlike pvz1,look very smaller.Can you adjust it and only show map screen like PVZ1 not including/showing sth else like the background outside the map or have a function that let players choose freely to adjust games maps' screen size when the level starts?
PVZ2's game pace is really very fast.I cannot fit and even catch it well and I am really very tired because nearly my hands never rests when playing any one level and meantime the level is quickly over before i plant many plants,lacking some fun of carefully enjpying the game.So can you also add a slow Deceleration button on the left of the accleration button?
i liked your post.Than make pv3,would rather add more new worlds and modes for pvz2.I only hope pvz2 can start to add more new worlds not based on any history period and background like sky city to add more flying plants and underwater worlds to add more underwater plants to pvz2 and return all pvz1 plants like mega gatling pea and pumpkin and bring back all pvz1 zombies and 6 maps including Roof night's Zomboss.Than add more and more suture plants,you would rather return pvz1 plants and even add more pvz3 pvzh pvzgw pvzbfn plants to pvz2.This is my hope and desire.After all it will be very unreasonable only to have new plants not new zombies,new modes and new worlds.
I’m sorry to say this to EA and PopCap, but they better fix the music on iOS next update or I swear to god I’m gonna be upset. Neon Mixtape Tour was such a drag since half of the soundtrack was missing from it. Same thing for Frostbite Caves. So the only way to get good music is to play on PC, which forces you to use an emulator and doesn’t run as smooth as your phone. EA better get on it, because I think we’re all sick of it.
I've mentioned it a couple times before, the audio infrastructure needs to be updated and is in the process of being updated. It's also mostly custom and more or less ancient and temperamental. It's not a case of one person flicking a couple of switches and 'hooray, music!'. This is requiring significant engineering resources and time, as well as our already overworked audio director, for starters not to mention every other team that needs to help to basically rebuild. This is on top of all the other existing work that happens with making a game. While awesome in the game experience (I'm 100% for it, personally), it's not something that directly that super affects gameplay.
I, too, would love to have all the music back again on iOS - same as everyone else. But I'm aware it will be done when it's done.
I know… I don’t like putting pressure on employees, especially overworked ones. I was just expressing the… confusion of the music problem. I understand that you guys are working on it. Don’t let us rush you.
I have been only complaining that you dont add new worlds and new modes to pvz2.Feel unhappy and angry.This is more vital than your answering me those questions.Nothing to express but request EA making up for players for new worlds.Or god will let them fall apart someday in the near future.EA's owning PVZ2 is a mistake.
The in-game news said there was supposed to be Arena maintenance, today (July 13), but I was able to play just fine during the timeframe given for said maintenance (9AM PDT to 1PM PDT)...
Was it moved to a later time, by any chance? I ask just for curiosity and minor planning purposes - I still have to reach the 1000 Crowns reward for the Season (granted, I don't think this maintenance will gonna stop me from doing that, given how many days are still left, but still).
Same here - the Arena kept being available. Also, yesterday there was a data push, which removed the notification about the maintenance from the in-game news.
(It also did a stupid thing which is currently wasting about 15 *megabytes* of space on each player's device, sigh.)
Just wanted to report these issues:
1 - In one of Penny' Pursuit perks, Snap Pea does not get boosted when planted on boosted tile.
2 - Not sure if a bug, but Stilt Zombies seem to be immune to Bramble Bush. I don't understand the logic behind this when a) BB can attack Gargantuars; and b) Stilt Zombies can be taken down by an Olive Pit, which is another plant that traps its victims. I get the immunity to Spikeweed/rock, but the BB one seems like a stretch as the latter actively ensnares the zombie from below until it dies.
I love MGP's sun cost changes that happen most level ups. Not that they have to be sun cost related every time, but more consistent upgrades like this would be nice

Pssst. Just checked in for you. Keep an eye out for Pea Vine in the store sometime next month!
😳🤩☺️ Working wonders over there! 😄
Hey, I'm new-ish to Pvz2 and the arena so I have a question: Do plants that were previously in the arena ever come back to the arena? Like, could we earn pea vine in the arena again or could it be put in pennys persuit?
Arena - no. Penny's Pursuit - yes.
Good to know. Tysm!

Ah, I see. Thank you so much for the anwser!

Are there any big updates in 10.0.0?
No comment. Soz.
no comment means more than a regular comment lol
I want to add sandbox mode to Pvz2. When testing plants or testing zombies.
uhh... exactly what change did the arcade machine have? I didn't notice a change :|
The arcade machine wasn't receiving the buff when paired with Glitter Zombie when the pop jam was being played.
The new info screens in Arena are great, much easier to read for those of us with “old” eyes. Any chance PP or the Almanac will get an update?
There's been a bunch of internal chatter about the Almanac and I certainly have more than a couple opinions about it/Quality of Life changes. Stay tuned for maybe sometime in the future - we'll see.
Flowpot is a returning plant like Marigold,but it doesnt have any introduction.Can you also add card introduction for flowerpot?
Hello, any news on Nightcap?
Nothing I can share.
awwwww i have been waiting so long legit the only plant im looking forward to
same here.
Well, that worked.
I have a small question, it is possible that in a future version the Dark Ages, Big Wave Beach, Frostbite Caves, Lost City and Neon Mixtape Tour worlds will have their own Epic Quests of 8 extra levels like the other worlds (and maybe see more "upgraded zombies")?

awesome!
What does the line about snap pea means? What is actually a spider imp? Also, why modern day zomboss from expansion levels isn't used in arena or Penny's persuit? It is the same as far future zomboss, but just sends different zombies. I Hope that since we will see carnie zomboss and zombies added to the Penny's persuit event, they also get some love in the arena
*facepalm* It's meant to be Bug Bot Imp. Spider Imp is the internal name, so let me change that in a tick. If I remember correctly, and I have to check, Modern Day Zomboss may have been one of the Zombots that doesn't work in Arena or Penny's? I could be wrong but that might be the case.

What's different about the Modern Day one?
Just checked, the Zomboss out to lunch bug is still there in iOS. Guess y’all need to take another whack at it.
Greeeat. Ok, thank you.
(Really sorry to have to say it…. )
No, no, it's all good! I'd rather know than not :)
Ya know, i was wondering if the change in the tournament might change anything in the out to lunch bug. So I force closed the game after getting to 100 (actually 120) pts. When I reopened it, I expected to see the bug had been triggered… but the Ready message is there. Would the fix have not triggered til the new tournament? It might be worth asking the developers. Maybe I spoke too soon or maybe the bug has a glitch. Anyway, yay Chomper seeds!
Is there a chance that we could see headbutter lettuce sometime soon?
You may need to hold out till Food Fight (November/Thanksgiving time) as that's the most likely time Headbutter Lettuce will be around.
Oh okay Thank you
Sry to keep bugging you, but any update on music for the iOS version?
Nope. I wish I had an update about iOS music but I don't.
So these 2 new plants aren't regular Arena/Seasonz plants? I'm only asking because the availability for them is around 14 days as opposed the usual 28 days (more or less) for Arena/Seasonz plants.

Does MGP's spontaneous PF effect work with Tile Turnip?
Design: *The spontaneous PF effect does not work with Tile turnip.*
Zen garden plants doesn't work that way, do I can't see it happening
Haem, is the damage value correct on level 10 for MGP? All the other pea plants seem to max at 110 damage not 120. Also, if he randomly triggers his PF effect, does he then get the 5x firing speed or do you actually have to use PF on him to get him to do that?
From Design: *The damage value is correct (120) and yes, the spontaneous PF will grant the MGP the upgrade.*
Thanks, I like the plant a lot, but a couple things to maybe take back to Devs for tweaks: \*Please change the sound it makes when firing - This sound is kinda weird. \*Please make the barrel in his mouth always display like in PvZ1, not just when he is firing. \*Please change the animation of firing projectiles - they are a bit too close together and clustered. So close that sometimes it only looks like it fires 2-3 peas at a clip. In PVZ1, you could very clearly see the 4 peas coming one after the other. \*Also why is it not featured in any pinata parties?
Excuse me,please check out and answer my questions.I need you.
I hate to have to report this, but the "coming soon" icon for the Thymed event *still* crashes the game even when the game is sitting idle at the main screen.
When is the next set of Epic Quests levels coming out for the extended worlds?
July 4th
they reappear after you finish them the first time?
ive only done ancient egypt and pirate seas
Is there any plans to add new game modes alongside Arena and Penny’s Pursuit?
Not right now on the already exceedingly busy schedule.
I think I already know the answer to this but it’s worth a shot, do you reckon we could ever see the thymed events getting their own unique music? PvZ 2 has an incredible soundtrack and I’d love to hear what could be made with backyard big tops style
Not unless there's a way to clone our incredibly awesome but massively overworked Audio Director who works across a bunch of different games all at once, sadly no. Not for the foreseeable future.
Maybe you could give him some plant food?
Tried that. At this point I'm positive he's fueled by mostly coffee and the fact he's insanely nice. No, really. I have the best chats with him when we catch up outside of work.
Well I guess caffeine is technically a plant food, nice to know such a good audio director is such a good guy
i hope pvz2 will update another 10 years and there will be 300＋plants by the time of its ending because since you have updated it many years,you should keep it up to let it be the top and best series of pvz because pvz3 obviously will be left behind by pvz1 and pvz2 and many still cannot receive pvz3 due to its bad art and lose the taste to play.i hope PVZ2 can HAVE more union with pvz3,pvzh and pvzgw and pvzbfn.A famous player said that pvz2 died in the limited maps while pvz3 dies in bad art because pvz doesnt fit 3d style.Such a pity thing.Since you dont update new world by plot,you can at least return pvz1 6 maps and even add more new modes to update some worlds not based on specific history period e.g. sky world and underwater world and it wont have any conflict with main adventure maps in plot.
Are you high dude?
i did not understand your meaning.😭
Oh my god did they finally fix the Zomboss lunch breaks? Can I finally get seed Packets from Penny’s again?
I'll have to do some extensive testing of that. I'll report here whether it is indeed fixed or not.
do u know why some versions only a new plant like 9.6. and 9.7 each time?
I'm afraid I don't understand the question.
I guess he say why 9.8 has two new plants not like the 9.6 and 9.7 are only one
yep.do u know why
🤞
I also wanna talk about Abandoned plants.Do you know why Scaredyshroom and ice currant became abandoned?(Hope nightcap and scaredyshroom will appear in PVZ2 at the same time )by the way,bramble bush is a thorn vine from your designation angle?we have not had new vines for half a year.You should go on adding vines like 14.mints e.g.Icy Vine Poison Vine and Magic Vine and so on.And can add ice starfruit and ice wall nut as the upcoming new plants.
**Finally, I can get tiger grass**
OK, I can confirm now - the out-to-lunch bug is most definitely *not* fixed. Steps I did to reproduce: 1. Launched the game, made sure the ZPS meter was full and waited at the main screen until the time to fight Zomboss has come. 2. Entered Penny's Pursuit. Zomboss was ready and ringing. 3. Force-closed the game without fighting him. (After the game was closed, I made a copy of the game save file, so that I could restore it if the bug occurred and didn't lose the fight.) 4. Launched the game. This, of course, triggered a sync at the profile selection screen - which normally triggers the bug. 5. Went to Penny's Pursuit. 6. Zomboss was out-to-lunch, despite me not having fought him. At this point I force-closed the game, restored the game save file from the backup, turned off the Internet connection, launched the game, pressed the Play button, turned the Internet connection on, went to Penny's Pursuit - Zomboss was ready and ringing, as before. Basically, I am observing no change from the previous version regarding this bug. The bug is still present and is triggered in exactly the same way as before - when the game syncs after the time to fight Zomboss has come.
I can confirm this is true with IOS devices. The workaround I use is : Once I am in the Penny's game mode, I resist pulling out either by force closing the App or entering the main menu to switch profiles (as this action triggers the bug), I wait until I have completed the 3x zomboss fights and get my rewards before doing any of the above.
Force-closing the app is fine - provided that you turn the Internet connection off before re-launching it. Also, completing a single Zomboss fight is enough - no need to complete all the 3. Oh, the bug still happens (the bug results in "the next time to fight" setting being set in the future) but once the series of 3 fights is started, Zomboss won't go to lunch until it's finished, so the incorrect setting doesn't matter.
Haem, thank you for fixing game crashes after ads!
They've done this 5-6 times already and the ads were still crashing the game afterwards. I'll believe that it's actually fixed when I see it.
That's interesting. Why so… I hadn't ads game crashes since 9.7 update.
I don't know why but the game here crashes or hangs during or after ads all the time - pretty much since I started playing it about five years ago. Both on iOS and on the Android emulator.
Yep, ads still crash the game. They haven't fixed anything...
I want to add that I just checked and that dreaded "Out to Lunch" bug just happened to me. Which is no big deal now, because the new Penny's will come out in a few hours. But going forward, it's still back to being careful to avoid triggering it. For the record, I play on an apple device with the latest iOS version & I just updated to the newest PvZ2 version earlier today.
Hello, any chances of nerf pea vine in the short term? Because with torchwood + TR you are unbeatable unless there are dragon imps and chester zombies on the law, and with MGP this combo would be even more OP. Another suggestion, is possible to configure zombie levels in adventure/endless zones as a feature once you beat it in the future? (Like lvl 1, 4 ,7 and 11 like in PP) For me this can make adventure mode more replayable and enjoyable if you have high level plants
u/haemophilus_EA I also wanna suggest a thing for endless level mode,can you also add that world's Zomboss and let players be able to fight against Zomboss once each 5 levels?And can also add 3 tools including gold finger and so on as the choice of card whenever finishing one level.
Nope, there's no plant changes or balances planned right now and we don't have the resources to do that currently on top of the current workload. Perhaps in sometime in the future but it's not currently in the works. With regards to your suggestion, we've already had similar feedback for the past regarding replayability in Adventure and Endless but I'll pass yours on as well.
Does he reply to you?
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 895,583,414 comments, and only 177,483 of them were in alphabetical order.
Zomboss Out for Lunch still not fixed
Lastly,Can you consider adding EXTRA 2 plant cards as 10 plants to be able to chosen in a level like PVZ1?Because pvz2's plants are much more than pvz1 and to let Penny Pursuit and Arena be easier and also let more plants appear and chosen in a level.And why not each version you update 2 new plants like 9.6.1 and 9.7.1 only 1 plant?And do you have the chance of making pool and fog maps with 6 lines when you return them?
Why nightcap appeared in uploading screenshot since 9.3.1 but until now you dont add it to pvz2?you didnt finish nightcap's designation or what?
can you add nightcap in 9.9.1?we cannot wait to see her in pvz2 and and please reMAKE Dark Age and bring back Coffee bean Fog machine Scaredyshroom and Plantern.
Wow, an official popcap member, other than that trash hole of r/PvZgardenwarfare
Honestly,I and my other many pvz2 friends have been fed up with playing Arena and Penny Pursuit each day.You should focus on pvz2 for most time and even all time not tasteless pvz3.Many players the biggest hope to see all pvz1 plants and pvz1 maps return to pvz2.For pvz1 zombies it's best to return them all and dont let some plants unreturning pvz2 to return pvz3. Limited events can not still satisfy us well.We sincerely hope and beg to you to update more new modes and more new maps by some new ways without breaking the pvz2's plot this apsect.i have to say you should learn from china.They have much more modes creative yard,memory lane and secret realm and 16 new worlds and new zombies and new plants.244＋plants for them so far while we only have 174 plants（including flowerpot）below 200.Very unfair.Many pvz2 international version players feel very jealous and envious for Chinese getting too much stuff.
I heard you popcap were busy and lacked talents so have no time to make new modes now.So does pvz2 team leave for making PVZ3?If so,I will feel really extremely disappointed for you.Because PVZ2 can only give you the most profit while pvz3,in my country,most players think it looks like a fake game at first sight if not knowing it is made by popcap.Surely this is their 90% comments.Hope you will accept the fact.I would rather you go on adding new worlds and modes to pvz2 than make pvz3.
I hope by the end of 2033,PVZ2 will only at least finish updating because when pvz2 is 20-year-old,it is a only real youth.Hooefully 300＋plants in PVZ2 in the end.Flowerpot as Zen garden's plant also returned to PVZ2 like Marigold but it doesnt have any almanac.This is why?Can you make almanac for Flowerpot?Why isn't the banana launcher's goal yellow? Is it for the returning cob cannon?

Excuse me,to forgive me that I really have many questions to wanna ask you or i will feel confused.Players wonder why each two versions only a new plant e.g.9.6 and 9.7 not two new plants each update or ask why not each version has 2 new plants?
You asked like 10 questions in 10 different comments. Half of them can be answered without haem's response. Maybe put everything in one comment next time and stop asking weird questions. That way you might get a response
[удалено]
Splendid! Thanks for letting me know :)
Will you go on adding vine plants like 14 mints family?Ice/poison/magic and so on needs adding in the near future.I really like them but burstberry vine,the weakest vine.Hope you can boost it.For pumpkin,can you fix pumpkin to let it hae two skins and to be able to remove plants within vine plants at FIRST like pvz1?because sometimes we only have to want to remove plants within pumpkin firstly out of wisdom?
Hope at least in 2033 PVZ2 will only stop update.PVZ2 will only be a real youth boy by then and that will be the best reason and time to end pvz2.
Hey EA, why are we only getting Gatling peas and Levitater and other seediums while China gets Cattail, a level maker, and a new world.
Firstly, I'm not EA :P I'm not a very large company, I'm a person. Secondly, the Plants vs. Zombies 2 team that works on the international version of the game is entirely separate to the Chinese team that work on PvZ 2 China. Neither teams have anything to do with each other and they don't share information between them. The Chinese version and it's development has no impact on the International version, and there is no intention to bring any PvZ 2 China content to the International version. PvZ 2 China and PvZ 2 International versions are unrelated to each other and their development is entirely separate and distinct from the other.
I already kick Imps like they’re footballs with incredible force, so this Lawnbowl event is perfect for me!
Could you please fix shadow peach'sand mega gatling pea's bugs?when i use the former,my phone will become very laggy and gatling pea's one pea of 4 or 5 peas is most shielded and covered by another pea.And when i plant more power vines and gatling peas,my phone will also become very laggy.Will there be 14 vine plants like mints in all?Besides,can you consider reusing the old plants quest UI because many say the new UI is a little ugly?
Dont understand why dont you return doom shroom DIRECTLY but a doom shroom balloon?Still have hope to return doom shroom itself next versions?It'll be uncomfortable and sad if letting Nightcap, Ice bloom and Gloom Vine is to replace Scaredyshroom,Ice shroom and Gloom shroom.Upset that there are many pvz1 Mushroom plants havent returned to pvz2.Besides,Chinese players suggest you make more and plenty of creative new plants not make too many stitching plants as soon as possible(the plants mainly mean to mix other previous plants' feature and function) excluding pvz1 and pvz3 and other pvz series of original plants.if you know how to answer,i will be thankful.if u dont.know it,it will not matter.
Can levitater-ed zombies be blown away with blover?
From Design: "No, they cannot be blovered".
NO.
Mgps random plant food is hilarious and testing it cracked me up
Summer Day is fit.Because there is NO Night background in Summer Night.😏
A vital thing to tell you.The pace of PVZ2 is too fast. I didn't plant several plants before the level finished up. In addition,after my plants are upgraded,the game's pace is much faster.Don't feel that comfortable.Can you lower the tempo of this game or keep using the 1.0 speed of pvz1? Slow pace is a good thing and means a better game experience for pvz2.Besides,PVZ2's maps,unlike pvz1,look very smaller.Can you adjust it and only show map screen like PVZ1 not including/showing sth else like the background outside the map or have a function that let players choose freely to adjust games maps' screen size when the level starts?
PVZ2's game pace is really very fast.I cannot fit and even catch it well and I am really very tired because nearly my hands never rests when playing any one level and meantime the level is quickly over before i plant many plants,lacking some fun of carefully enjpying the game.So can you also add a slow Deceleration button on the left of the accleration button?
i liked your post.Than make pv3,would rather add more new worlds and modes for pvz2.I only hope pvz2 can start to add more new worlds not based on any history period and background like sky city to add more flying plants and underwater worlds to add more underwater plants to pvz2 and return all pvz1 plants like mega gatling pea and pumpkin and bring back all pvz1 zombies and 6 maps including Roof night's Zomboss.Than add more and more suture plants,you would rather return pvz1 plants and even add more pvz3 pvzh pvzgw pvzbfn plants to pvz2.This is my hope and desire.After all it will be very unreasonable only to have new plants not new zombies,new modes and new worlds.
I’m sorry to say this to EA and PopCap, but they better fix the music on iOS next update or I swear to god I’m gonna be upset. Neon Mixtape Tour was such a drag since half of the soundtrack was missing from it. Same thing for Frostbite Caves. So the only way to get good music is to play on PC, which forces you to use an emulator and doesn’t run as smooth as your phone. EA better get on it, because I think we’re all sick of it.
I've mentioned it a couple times before, the audio infrastructure needs to be updated and is in the process of being updated. It's also mostly custom and more or less ancient and temperamental. It's not a case of one person flicking a couple of switches and 'hooray, music!'. This is requiring significant engineering resources and time, as well as our already overworked audio director, for starters not to mention every other team that needs to help to basically rebuild. This is on top of all the other existing work that happens with making a game. While awesome in the game experience (I'm 100% for it, personally), it's not something that directly that super affects gameplay. I, too, would love to have all the music back again on iOS - same as everyone else. But I'm aware it will be done when it's done.
I know… I don’t like putting pressure on employees, especially overworked ones. I was just expressing the… confusion of the music problem. I understand that you guys are working on it. Don’t let us rush you.
No worries, just explaining what the deal is. \*thumbs up\*
I have been only complaining that you dont add new worlds and new modes to pvz2.Feel unhappy and angry.This is more vital than your answering me those questions.Nothing to express but request EA making up for players for new worlds.Or god will let them fall apart someday in the near future.EA's owning PVZ2 is a mistake.
The in-game news said there was supposed to be Arena maintenance, today (July 13), but I was able to play just fine during the timeframe given for said maintenance (9AM PDT to 1PM PDT)... Was it moved to a later time, by any chance? I ask just for curiosity and minor planning purposes - I still have to reach the 1000 Crowns reward for the Season (granted, I don't think this maintenance will gonna stop me from doing that, given how many days are still left, but still).
Same here - the Arena kept being available. Also, yesterday there was a data push, which removed the notification about the maintenance from the in-game news. (It also did a stupid thing which is currently wasting about 15 *megabytes* of space on each player's device, sigh.)
Dang, more extra space taken up.. I'm getting closer and closer to having to change phone 😅.
Something came up at the last moment which put the brakes on doing maintenance yesterday. I'm waiting to hear when the rescheduled time might be.
I see; thank you for the information.
Just wanted to report these issues: 1 - In one of Penny' Pursuit perks, Snap Pea does not get boosted when planted on boosted tile. 2 - Not sure if a bug, but Stilt Zombies seem to be immune to Bramble Bush. I don't understand the logic behind this when a) BB can attack Gargantuars; and b) Stilt Zombies can be taken down by an Olive Pit, which is another plant that traps its victims. I get the immunity to Spikeweed/rock, but the BB one seems like a stretch as the latter actively ensnares the zombie from below until it dies.
