Agreed. But it's supposed to be for casual play.
Which the balance is absolutely perfect for.

The first one came out of nowhere IMO, and it was really good. I'm looking forward to giving this a shot, and I love how the series doesn't take itself to seriously and just focuses on fun.

Most importantly this.
I'm absolutely pissed I slept on the first until EA gave it away last year.

I'm so down for this :D

The first game is my shooter of the generation and this will most likely top that. I managed to unlock every single character/item on PC,XB1,PS4 all without spending a penny on transactions. They handled the transactions and progression system perfectly and it keeps me playing the game to this day as I know I'll keep playing GW2. I really hope that they set up a form of esports or tournaments for this game because it's the one game I'd be willing to dedicate all my gaming time to if that were the case.

Ive got like 200 hours almost, didn't get anywhere close to full sticker book.

Deffo gonna try to do it in this one.

It's a damn shame the first one came out 6 months later for the PS4.

this is one i can believe where focusing on one version was probably for the better with the new hardwares just out, and they made like 2d puzzle, phone-ish type stuff before this.

I would really like to know if this is a worldwide event or just US region? Not that it matters to me personally, but I know some who are just too lazy to create a US account for such purposes.

Day one for me. Such a fun little FPS to kill some time with. Even my 5 year old loved it and kept asking me to play the flower game.

I don't know how many hours I played, but I have every sticker, weapons, ect, level 313 and 4.5 million coins in the bank. Game keeps me from playing other games.

For the first platform I played on I accidently maxed everything without spending any Skip Challenge Stars (id save them for tough challenges but always end up just completing the challenges and saving the stars) so I ended up hoarding hundreds of them without needing them so for the other platforms I'd play and level up/skip challenges ASAP.

I have roughly 400 hours on XB1 (first platform)

200 hours on PC (favorite platform thanks to performance and M+KB but didn't have a PC for a while)

80 or so hours on PS4 (love the controller, may be my lead platform for GW2)

I play it everyday as its my "unwinding" game yet I'd have no problem playing it competitively as it's just that much fun.

I usually dont play online shooters seriously enough to care about my K.D. ratio, but in GW it's 4.0 on XB1 and 3.0 on PS4/PC so you can say I'm pretty into this game :p

Loved the first one (although I don't actually remember ever buying it, was it given away with plus?)

New characters look good (if a little OP)
Can't wait to gt into

Exited for this, the first one was my favorite multiplayer experience of 2013. Probably played around 300 hours and it kept being a blast. It helps that there's just an insane amount of unlocks!

PvZ was and still is one of the best multiplayer experience so far this gen. Tons of fun online.

Will be there the moment the beta opens.

Agreed! I love this game! One of my fave multiplayer games.

Bummed that I will have to miss out on the beta, though. Considered cancelling my girls' weekend trip to the mountains so I could stay home and play it...#priorities

The first was one of my favorite games that year on PC. A massive surprise, and it totally kicks other shooters asses when it comes to charm and fun.

I hope they improve the netcode a bit. There was a bit too much getting killed behind corners or chomper attacks from the ground not working. You could feel the old bf4 netcode in the background.

I always percieved the netcode as quite good. Well, there is the perfect chance to try it out next week and report back if you think it is better, worse or the same! :D

Hope there is a way for participants to tell EA that we don't want full auto health regeneration. Terrible change, the first one was perfect.

Full health regen? What would the point of sunflowers be then? I love how the first game worked. It forced teamwork.
