The New PvZ GW2 Update... Kinda Sucks (Basically A Rant)

- Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 will be receiving an Anti-Cheat that I think does more harm than good, and I complain about it. The update releases in March, but we got details about it officially released earlier today.
This video is pretty short because I made in a short time period, I wanted to complain now and not later.
UPDATE VIDEO WITH MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEW UPDATE: th-cam.com/video/AiYSPVl4kmo/w-d-xo.html
You KNOW it’s serious when he says: “I’m playing BFN”.
I still dont get why people hate on that game lol
I get it, it still needs improvement and isnt gonna get it, but I still think its a fun mess of a game
@@LanaIsUnderrated I think most people just don’t think it has the same replayability and progression, the upgrades alone aren’t enough.
It’s not a bad game, it just fails to meet expectations in many ways.
I still prefer BFN over the other two games. I just like almost everything about it more.
@@Dwayne_LaFontant that sums it up very well
Me who has no PC and plays on ps4: this changes absolutely nothing, plasma pea is still the embodiment of instant kills
Bro same here, Xbox one player here, glad this doesn’t affect me
@@Dave_Miller_TP Do you also suffer because of Plasma Pea mains?
@@user-kj7pu1pi8k a little
I don't see any plasmas and I'm on ps4.
Ah, then you have never experienced the bliss of modding, only for that be stripped from you by a scummy corporation who doesn't give a damn about a dead game.
Just wanna remind everyone that when this anticheat was added to FIFA it did a better job preventing legit players from playing than actually banning cheaters.
Oh boy if they are not willing to give good updates to FIFA there is little hope for GW
They were going strong with disabling cheats online. However, i don't think private play needed to be affected by this
Furthermore, the execution of the anti cheat is horrid.
Ea: no we can’t update gw2 and we won’t change the mystery portal
Also ea:
I think we should tell more people about this, imagine the first day of the update half of the player base just gets banned cause they used mods offline and they don't have a clue why
Nice pfp
@@creepertech9872thought you replied to yourself lol
This makes so so mad as I literally only still play this game just to mod
deactivate auto update and never update it then
@@oxhidoupsil how, i must know
0:34 the most well constructed request I've ever seen. This man is like from 1800 British empire, well put and off
This is very disappointing news for me because I'm working on a project reminiscent of the Community Portal events. I was finally starting to grasp on the game's logic and AI behaviors. I had plans to release it around Garden Warfare's 10th anniversary and the second game's 8th anniversary, as a way for players to take a break from skid-infested lobbies.
I guess my creativity peaked a little too late...
Damn bro, I know that feeling, and it feels soo bad
Console Player here, I'm going to share this video to spread as much awareness as I possibly can.
This game and it's playerbase doesn't deserve this treatment and I don't want an entire community of talented people to go completely extinct.
Just be happy that we GOT a update😭 (edit I WAS WRONG IM NOT HAPPY)
why would i be happy about something that does more harm than good did you watch it
Oh shit my bad
This was what I was thinking! I’ve seen their anti-cheat with PvZ BFN and I thought this would be a complete disable for mods!
Btw soft lock exploit also a thing on GW1 and BFN but it ain’t getting patched at all there lol.
That i know, the gw1 ban exploit it wasnt leaked
its a double edged sword, it stops skids and it stops you from being able to mod anything
Its a double edged sword except one of the edges is hella dull and made of rusting and corroding metal because skids will find a way to bypass this
Trust me skids are dedicated to ruining the game they will bypass it within a month
Bro skids will find one niche exploit and completely ignore any security features you but because their dads left when they were 4 and their moms dropped them and hit the *_thinking about other people’s existence_* part
My heart was racing when you explained the anticheat, but when you said its only for pc and steam, it relieved me so much i almost broke somthing 💀💀💀
Dude when I guess peashooter was gonna play gw2 I was like. I KNEW IT I KNEW IT!
They can make a cracked version of GW2 where the anti cheat is non existent.
Or downgrade the version, much easier to do i suppose.
Good thing us console players don’t have any worries 😀👍
Yeah
Also we will likely get a few more after a few months since without mods there's no good reason to play on PC over console lol
@GNVS300 but I have computer scientist on PC and not Console ;_;
Same… here?
@@camoking3609 did you get him legit?
My childhood is now corrupted
EA makes huge mistakes but it can't surpass this
You know the update is THAT bad when he says he'll play Batrash for Neighborville!
This is horrible. I bet ea's anticheat is going to be banning more accounts than the hacking.
This is like if TF2 forced player to only use casual; what a bad idea.
They are killing this series. PvZ has come to its end.
Unless if modders and hackers /cheaters want to team up to fix this? (Idk they’ll probably find a way)
pvz3:@@Azurethewolf168
also i still know both popcap and ea ruined the game series@@Azurethewolf168
we should just raid the pop cap buildings at this point
(edit) or EA, or maybe both
true
Fr
Fr fr man…
Is that you RCCH?
Yeah probably (but don’t harm the devs, harm the idiots in power)
As someone who just got GW2 on PC and was looking forward to trying out the mods, this really sucks
this how i discovered the game was getting an update to disappointingly realizing it was this
I love how the only people that are made is those that are hackers or people who use cosmetic/QoF mods
I play on steam deck. This news absolutely crushes my hopes and dreams.
you know they could start doing actual updates and reviving the game again. but no
Someone actually noticed this and made a warning video about this.
Thanks man now I am also against them just finding a cheap way of fixing a issue that they should have fixed day 1.
The mods are super cool I love them now they are going away might as well say we wanna kill pvz because that's what they are doing.
People are acting like: pvz 2 is still getting updated who cares about those??
The only thing I see the majority of the community wanting is a gw3 or gw2 update.
I haven't seen anyone being happy with them making pvz 3 why???
Because everyone new we where gonna get something worse then pvz 2.
I thought pvz 2 was rock bottom oh boi was I wrong
Actually it looks like (i think) that PvZ 2 is the cause to why there isnt much development on PvZ 3
This is super annoying, I was planning on installing garden warfare 2 on my new pc to finally try out mods
set a alarm for march 1st so you dont banned; that is if you still want to play it
I’m not going to lie, I didn’t really care that much about not using mods for gw2, BUT I’m now pissed because I play gw2 on steam deck and I am NOT LOSING MY PROGRESS.
I installed windows 11 on steam deck because a lot of games i play use anti cheat and the performance is almost the same, you just need to remove a lot of trash that microsoft adds to windows and it runs well enough
@@retringis there like a guide to doing this that exists or am I going to have to figure it out on my own?
I only just started to get mods yesterday so i guess i got to make the most of it
I didn’t even know this game would even be updated after so long
*Though, the cheaters using mods online are gone. Which was the only reason I don’t play this version. Which means I can play the game now! Though we should convince EA to so players can still Mod the game.*
Except they’ll just find a way to by pass it. There are videos showcasing that kernel level anti-cheats just don’t work.
First of all, I’m just shocked they cared enough to update the game at all. Second of all, It sucks Even more bc this all happened JUST as ppl were going to try and revive It. Sucks that ea treats their games like this, considering how good they are, and it’s painful to know that now almost no one plays, nor knows those games anymore. Sorry for the long rant!
hope everyone realizes that the anti-cheats for most triple A games are at the kernal level as well like activisions Call of Duty Anti-Cheats, Apex's Anti-Cheats, Valorants Anti-Cheats.
a lot of anti-cheats are at a KERNAL level, its how they work to provide you a playable and enjoyable expierence without hacks or cheaters in your lobby.
This game is dead though.
@@FunnyTopHatFrog it's not dead. It still has active high level players, and lots of new players come in. Just because it's not averaging 3 million users a day doesn't mean it's dead.
@@xxzombiekillerxx9549 it’s at 1000 players lol, it’s on life support.
@@FunnyTopHatFrog that's because it's 8 am in America during a weekday. Just wait until the evening and weekend
@@xxzombiekillerxx9549 no lol that was the average. No one plays this anymore unfortunately.
bruh i literally just got into modding garden warfare 2 days ago
Well on the bright side at least gw2 got an update, like it's been like a year
Longer than that. It's been at least 3 or 4 years.
an update that does literally no good at all.
wowee. i sure am grateful.
wait but if skids can find a way surely this means modders can find a way too right right??
IDK
I really hope the march update would not be mandatory. The mods are the only reason why I'm currently playing GW2 and without them I would get extremely bored because the vanilla versions of the offline game modes are extremely lame.
And even on multiplayer it can get a bit repetitive
*After seeing this, I think im gonna join peashooter in BFN.*
TF2:
- timeless masterpiece with a lot of replayability
- fun community that welcomes new players with open arms
- many classes and unique ways to play
- Hasnt had much of a major update in forever
- supports the modding community and even sometimes adds things from the community workshop.
GW2:
- timeless masterpiece with a lot of replayability
- fun community that will usually welcome you in some way
- a good selection of classes with many variants of themselves
- hasnt had a major update in forever
- heavily reliant on the modding community
- "whoops guess the modding community is gone! how'd that happen??" ~ EA, probably
I'm just glad I don't have to worry about invincible opponents anymore
I WAS SO HAPPY THIS GAME GOT AN UPDATE AT FIRST BUT THEN I REALIZED IT SUCKED
At least they gave us a update because it’s been 7 YEARS
Never thought id hear somebody complain about anticheat but here we are
watch the full video jesus
I'm worried this update won't do much to stop the banning since all they need is a Kernel-level Cheat Engine and change the name of the application so they can bypass it. This anticheat will only make tools even more insecure by making them operate at the Kernel level and considering, the only thing that made me and a lot of other people interested to play this game anymore was the mods, so this also cuts off players too. But for now I have to see once the update rolls out before making a final opinion on this.
I thought it was sus when they mentioned kernel-level in the announcement, but didn't know what it really meant
its so sad to think that this game and bfn can become so popular if they made it crossplay and free
Man, this is depressing. I was having a blast playing pvz gw2 on my steam deck, and now seeing this, and mod support going away is just sad.
Oh well, back to pvz bf-
*realize the game also isn't compatible with the steam deck*
BFN is compatable? They had an entire update adding support years ago
@@Hey1mJay wait what? I didn't know about this. Source?
It used to be compatable but now its not??? idk @@Howellatthemoon25
@@Hey1mJay maybe your getting confused with steam decks that using windows instead via a dual boot?
@@Howellatthemoon25 it turns out the game DOES support steam deck but its the anticheat that doesnt just like gw2
Me who plays console and doesn't need any more variants or gamemodes to be happy: 🗿🍵
Why do i feel like it’s probably gonna be a bad year…
Hey how did you recorded the Peashooter scene? Btw I play on Xbox so idk if it's possible to do it
mod
@@Hey1mJay oh ok
i got permabanned from BFN for changing my fucking fov, if this is the same exact thing as that I'm gonna fucking scream
The only reason im gonna rant is if they fix the invincibility glitch.....
Are they?
soo basically pvz gw2 got the valorant vanguard treatment
And then they're gonna wonder why nobody is playing anymore and proceed to shutdown the servers for good
I'm pretty sure I've been banned for months now because I used offline mods, either that or I literally can't play because I permanently broke something
FRIIICCCCCCKKKKKKK
I cant play GW2 on the steam deck :(
Welp Im playing GW1.
Although i play on console i always though BFN had some potencial, and here we are with EA proving that
1:35 EA and Nintendo competing over who is the worst company:
Kernal stuff is fine, Riot has this with Valorent and LOL with their "Vanguard" anti-cheat, and it works absolutely phenomenally!
if they are gonna update the game can it at least be an actual update? i like the fact that i just jump in a hacked server randomly that just adds charm to it
"oh no kernel level anti cheat!!! REEEEEE!!"
Kernal level anti cheat is needed because cheats run at a kernel level.
bro wtf are you talking about 🙏🙏
I remember tired of the cheaters online of this game and GW1 (GW2 was way more common), and stopped playing GW2. But as you said, this doesn't seems to be the best way to do it. And maybe they are just frustrating more players. But I'm tired of cheaters too. But isn't like this game had huge player base, so... Anyway, I liked way more GW1. It has more to do with the soul of the original PvZ.
Man, pvz fans just can't win lately can we?
this isnt that bad, it solves the cheating problem and ppr and mods like that going are just a small price to pay, multiplayer will be playable again and some ppl dont realize the only reason they are adding the anti cheat and nothing else is because the anti cheat is as simple as sliding in a few files that make sure the game isnt modified
completely ignoring the fact some people cannot play the game they paid for
@@Hey1mJay yeah and then they will be able to play it, i get it if your banned it sucks but like, sucks to suck lol. im banned too and ive been banned for a long time and i still am, but im not crying about it because gw2 is already fucked, and rather we cry to the developers that dont exist or not, nothing is gonna change that, the anticheat is a simple few files they slip in and they are never gonna do anything important or good to the game again, i feel like most ppl that are still crying about being banned just need to move the hell on already, not saying you shouldnt be mad your not allowed to play, but after a while. what can you do, they wont do shit.
@@sansanimzisnotrealanymore
i feel like you arent comprehending anything i said
Is there any hope???
no
Why do i think this is gonna be a bad year….
Off to the first garden warfare game gentlemen
It doesn't really affect me (aside from EA stalking me), but still:
*One step forward, five steps back.*
sounds a lot like Valve with TF2 currently, except they dont intend to fix their VAC anti cheat they have.
I'm curious, how did you get the instrumental Scarecrow music? 👀🎶
BFN files, i'll upload them to @Hey2mJay eventually
@@Hey1mJay That's really cool, I've been looking for it for ages XD
@@TheSeedrunner I just uploaded the plant ones, I'll do the zombie themes in a bit
Oh EA, they’ll never change
So they basically fucked up GW2
Like, having EA stare into your computer making sure no mods are in feels VERY scummy.
They didn't screw it up just find a way to bypass the anti cheat just be greateful the banning issues gone
Yep..
@@larrymantic2635I don’t trust them
How did you get the clear view in the game?
I'm really hoping that EA and PopCap for once make a damn good decision, and decide to change the way the anticheat works to allow for offline modding.
As someone who bought gw2 on steam deck this kinda pisses me off
trust me whenever everyone on pc stops playing, they will change it.
The anticheat being allegedly sketchy is a fair point, but mods? Bro come on, such a dumbass reason to be crying over the update. EA is doing something so the game can hopefully remove cheaters and other shitty stuff and you are crying over not being able to mod the damn game? this is insane. If they don't want to add something back, that's their choice. Just be happy that they even cared about giving the anticheat a update.
nearly half of pc uses mods / have used mods at one point, and adding the anticheat was a bandaid fix because they couldnt fix the softlock exploit that was the reason they were having to update the game to begin with
@@Hey1mJay idk, this anticheat update seems like a fix to the exploit. If you can't play GW2 without mods and think it's more fun with mods, then you don't really enjoy GW2, this goes for any game. Games weren't made with it being modded in mind, in rare cases it is, but other then that, devs don't think of the mods the community is coming up with and a lot of devs don't want their games modded for what ever reason. Just suck it up, you clearly don't enjoy the game if you need to mod it for it to "be good"
I mentioned at the end of the video that it doesn't fix the exploit because you can simply not update and keep doing it. Also some mods were usually bug fixes / quality of life improvements, like Sound Mod fixing music bugs. @@ViolettSmith8438
But when using a out-of-date version of a game that EA no longer supports, you will no longer be able to play the game. So even if you don't update, you won't be able to play online.@@Hey1mJay
Thankfully it did nothing, but they did implement it for good reason at least
Me who plays pc and i need to use fsr tech so the game runs in my pc: There's nothing we can do...
Almost every anti cheat is kernel level now a days, don’t really like that but they’re just making it like every other modern game
This makes me so angry but at least I still have bfn left to hack it (offline of course)
Oh good grief
Sometimes i'm glad that the switch port of bfn was designed for offline play as a throwaway product...
So they are doing all this, but not adding new plants or zombies at least?
I think steam deck will be able to play just they will maybe figure something out… hopefully, also hopefully this will stop hacking
Edit: never mind it’s getting rid of the compatibility 😡🤬
is that why my game keeps crashing when i enter multiplayer?
This aged like milk bro now we have no updates
@@DudemanntheOriginAl GW2 since 2019 has aged like milk
@@Hey1mJay fair
That jab at Nintendo wasn’t necessary
Yeah it is, Nintendo does pretty annoying things and nobody wants to be compared to them
@@Hey1mJay it was a joke, I’m saying I wasn’t expecting it.
i know it sounds unpleasant but there's no way around it ,theres just too many hackers and cheaters that abuse the online multiplayer game
Drybonez is a modder and he’d completely ok with this. You paid 20 dollars to play this game in vanilla, and we’ve waited so long to have it finally free from hackers. This is a great trade off in his opinion, and I agree. Sure, hackers might find a way eventually, but this is a much easier way for them to identify and root out them from the game and servers will overall be restored. It sucks about the mods, yes, but trade-off’s like this are apart of life. I hope you understand where the majority of the shooterbase comes from :)
idgaf what a groomer says
also drybones literally leaked mods that resulted in multiplayer getting worse, hop off
I share Discord servers with the individual that he attempted to groom. He sent porn and very perverted messages towards a 15 year old with no reason (not like a reason would make it better). There is a TH-cam video available to anyone that documents the shit he did. Shut the fuck up and look into things for yourself before immediately discarding it because I "accused" a smaller creator.@@Azurethewolf168
stop defending a groomer and person who leaked cheat mods
Modded: (being sad they can’t mod on the main update version me (a console player): THERE WERE MODS?
Still waiting for them to fix the PC players ranks, it's been a week already
bro im slow but its always amazed me how do you get your camera to be like this for videos ive seen people do the same thing with gta 5 but i know on there you have rockstar editor or whatever it is
alternate title: Jay rants for 2 minutes
so ea does a ea really why ? you dont bring back old gamemodes and mods help us bring them back you backstab us really ea this really sucks and is a pain for the moding coumminty and the pvz gw commuinty also no steam deck version anymore oh come on next where getting a gw anticheat why ea
is this how you get your kicks ea why but for real this sucks hopefully they will back down
WTF SO I CANT HAVE AN CUSTOMISED FOV ANYMORE??!?!
if you used a FoV mod, yes
Rip
"Ea isnt ruining pvz"
Literally ea :
Ah shit, i misspelt. Heres an edit yo fix this comment (my bad)
EA isn't ruining pvz
I much as I hate this update this doesn't ruin the game. Its still playable as intended (Play multiplayer without hackers), Fully functional, and fun.
This Anti-cheat is going to EVERY game they have made with frostbite
@@flyingtank mfer skids can still bypass it lol , this fixes nothing
@@tankpea2 we really dont know that yet
This technically EA’s fault but also technically popcap
@flyingtank as idk much about the whole ea and popcap thing, but im pretty sure ea may have ruined pvz, because to be fair, the franchise HAS been going kinda downhill ever since ea decided to join popcop
But again i dont know much about the whole thing, so if i can get more information or/and points about it i would like to see them
