I feel like survive with most plants picked is actually better than all plants picked from a casual standpoint, because it can be annoying and a little jarring if you plan on using your own strategy and you’re suddenly forced to use something different and sometimes boring.

[@tpfoxCastro]

The thing is, survive with most plants does not change your gameplay at all. You just make a smaller version of the strategy you were using. The whole game (except for two worlds) is already designed for casuals, we didn't need more objectives for casuals, it's supposed to be balanced. People mostly spam the same single strat through out all of their playthrough, so forcing them to use a completely different strategy that still works with the level is great!

The "don't spend sun for X seconds" has baited me _twice_ in mods (maybe in the same level) because I forgot both times that it doesn't have to be at the beginning of the level, just don't do it for some time within the level. I thought that you had to use plants like Iceberg (free stuff) to deal with the zombies before you could start using sun.

I kinda like somewhat easy Last Stands as they let you experiment with high cost or just plain bad plants; Pirate seas 22 is one of my most played levels just to see which plants can make it, make it without losing one, etc.

PS 22 quite literally one of the most memorable moments in vanilla for me. The sheer stupidity of it

[@thegreatkiwibeast2591]

Agreed! Last stands are so fun to mess around on

[@youtube-kit9450]

Yeah, I have the opposite opinion on last stand vs. spend x sun than him, but it mostly comes down to level design. The last stand levels often have a good amount of sun you can spend, so you can try out funny or stupid plant compositions, and the long recharge/costly plants finallyy have a place they can shine. On the opposite, spend x sun levels often have idiotically low requirements and are absolutely miserable because they basically completely restrict you to very specific plants (a.k.a. all the costless ones and 1-2 super cheap ones) and you still have to build up the board with a bunch of shit plants you had little say in it. Also, the fact that it's like, the one objective you can just lose completely on accident because they fixed it for x amount of plants not this one makes this just completely aggravating.

[@flourrrr]

"dont spend more than __" is the literal fun police, along with "dont plant more than ___" and "dont lose more than __" they just limit your options

[@lol1013]

I think those objectives should be used together with predetermined plants or conveyor

[@flourrrr]

@@lol1013 i think it could work if like lets say dont lose more than levels were based off levels that dont really require you to use instants, sometimes they're just normal levels for some reason so that does nothing but limit your choices

[@tpfoxCastro]

No? "Don't spend more than __" is just slow last stand, like Creepz said in the video. It discourages sun production since sun producers become useless after you hit the limit. "Don't plant more than __" is made so you use heavier and more expensive plants instead of spamming cheaper plants like lightning reed. And "Don't lose more than __" is there to make you not insta spam, like most people do through most levels. One of my favorite plants is iceberg lettuce and I still love that objective because it forces me to get a different early game that isn't "stall one zombie while I get double sun producer)

[@melindamuller4466]

I actually like don't lose more than x plants, as long as the level doesn't include too many insta kill zombies, so it actually encourages walls and discourages instas.

[@melindamuller4466]

It would probably be just better to lock away instas for the level, so....

[@Plants10000]

This is an objective tier list on objectives. Here´s why. Fun video!

[@turtwigproductions9928]

I feel they could have been more creative with some of the passive objectives. Like the produces x sun was a huge missed opportunity. What if it was produces x sun in order for the level to end. The longer the level goes on the harder it gets until it gets to difficult for the average player.

[@oomygamerchannel936]

Like the slot machine format in pvz1 right?

[@turtwigproductions9928]

@@oomygamerchannel936 Something like

[@tpfoxCastro]

Or maybe they could make an actually hard amout of sun, cuz 6k sun isn't very hard to achieve. They could maybe do a modifier that makes zombies take damage with time or maybe just use zombies that self destruct, that way stalling wouldn't work

[@Slimerror]

I feel like all of the objectives have enough to them to be able to make a level really interesting but they just choose not to put in the work. I just thought up a really interesting endangered plant level idea for pirate seas. Lanes 1 3 and 5 have planks and an endangered spikeweed one tile back from the planks, barrel rollers spawn a lot and you have to stop them from rolling them over, but in the unplanked lanes theres endangered garlics that will redirect rope swing zombies into the main lanes cluttering them up making it harder to deal with the barrel rollers. But theres enough room for strategy due to the endangered plants having an empty tile in front of them. Honestly, I kinda wish I could help come up with ideas for challenge levels in a mod or something.

[@ZIMOU2014]

holy crap thats actually good

[@HungryWarden]

Seems like a fun idea, but there’s one really easy solution to the Spikeweeds. Just put a Spikerock in front of them. They will tank most hits from the barrel rollers. Also I wish Garlic wasn’t such a bad plant.

[@Slimerror]

@HungryWarden True but just have the level before you get access to spikerock, better yet have spikerock be unlocked from completing the level

[@ZapZarrapus12]

The realease of this video made me so super happy. Your videos are the only ones on youtube that i jump for joy for

[@kylerivera3470]

I definitely agree that the "don't lose more than x plants" objectives can be really interesting. The main problem is those times when you die to unfair luck. I think the best way to designing levels with this objective is to simply not include any zombies with insta-kill abilities (possible exception for non-mecha gargantuars). Without the nonsense insta-kills taking away your plants with you having little to no way to resist them then it's pretty fun. I'd say that this objective is the one most reliant upon level design. As you mentioned at the end, any objective can be interesting if the level is designed to match it, but some require more work than others and some have a larger range from good to bad. I think that this objective has the largest good/bad range of all of them due to how easy it is to make either an interesting level that blocks instas and plant selling or Big Wave Beach Day 28.

[@tpfoxCastro]

Yeah. I think that the best way to make a level based on that objective is to use zombies with low dps. No instakills, no chickens, no newspapers, imps and similars. Just slow/defensive zombeis. Afterall, the main gimmick of that objective is that you don't have access to instakills, so having to deal with bucketheads without using instas.

[@HungryWarden]

It’s fair grounds. Neither you nor zombies can use insta kills.

objectives are neat but I still prefer the OG PvZ2 1.0 way of handling them, where they were optional side quests to earn stars. PvZ2 1.0 had a lot of issues but that was honestly pretty neat.

[@aceae4210]

if it;s anything to note the way pvz2 china works is with a close to same system basically a level has 2 versions, a normal version and a hard version in the hard version there are 3 stars you can earn which you get from completing a objective think getting a start from having spent lessthan 2200 sun this one I haven't seen in international pvz2 but another one is have more than x amount of plants on the lawn when you beat the level (to block the strat of just using lawnmowers on the final wave making you need to clear it out legitimately) if I recall correctly from what I have read from comment sections is the stars you earn let you unlock the zomboss levels at the end of the world, (and the other one I have seen is you know a battle pass progression system, so in "Secret Realms" they have that system (where when you reach star milestones you will unlock a reward with a free path and a payed path, with a big reward if you get all the stars) I have made a big comment but I hope this come out understandable

[@ianjohnson218]

I think manual use plants (coconut cannon, banana launcher, not magnifying grass) could help improve conditions whose goal is “not to play the game” (last stand, don’t spend sun for x seconds, ect), because it gives you something more to do during the waiting period, making it feel like you’re actually playing the game.

[@elliebee3520]

Truly, the greatest video that ranks all objectives

[@nicknack5388]

I just had an interesting idea when watching the defeat x zombies part. What if instead of that it was a whole level thing where you had to defeat a zombie every x seconds. That would actually weaken stallers, pretty much the meta of pvz2. You could also use gargs or other strong zombies to make it feel more frantic rather than just weakening stallers, as you'd have to pick off weaker zombies to stall for time to kill the larger threats.

[@Zeldrake]

tier lists of things that really shouldn't be in tierlists are my absolutely favorite thing ever

[@auber-yv7283]

Aight, after watching the video, it's very well crafted as a whole, giving insight on everything that makes pvz 2 unique and well, a natural progression from pvz 1, if these were removed, it wouldn't feel like pvz 2,. Anywho i'm going to say what my favs and least favorite ones from pvz 2 by also describing it just because of boredom, but also being one of the people who played from oldest ver. (will obvs pass the penny's pursuit objectives since i never played em.) Locked and Loaded are honestly a level type i always just look forward to, dunno. they give you that idea of theorize on how you can do things with given plants, giving you a literal key to win em, reminds me a bit of pvz 1's deal with giving you the plant and inmediatedly the zombie you counter, its a natural stepup to me. Mold colonies exist, straight up they don't affect anything big, i just straight up never lost one of these. (the most i can think of rn is big wave beach for that lvl without being able to plant on sand honestly.) Endangered plants are so damn good, sure they can be tricky to manage but god damn i love em, if you ain't cheap about em, ya bloody can make the most outta these, puffshroom is still the highlight due to how it actually incentivises you to use plant food and learn more of puff. Never have more than X plants, the more that i see these, it incentivises me up to just optimize a strat with the surprisingly lenient obj, ive remember the days where it got mixed with various objs, usually with don't spend more than x sun. Last stand, so. this one is a slog. straight up, so, on pvz 1 mobile versions, you had last stand day to roof, it felt more like a loaded and loaded lvl with sun for each wave set complete & last stand name slapped on it, but on pvz 2 it feels so damn long that my brain straight up did the most strats on the funny pirate seas lvl 22, cause for me, the rest of em i didn't just do another strat. Survive without mowers, redundantly pointless on newer versions, these were more prominent on older versions where it was; don't lose any mowers for a single star in tandem of other objs. Produce X sun, very easy if you don't overrush the lvl as a whole, cause in that point it eather is; spam a lot of sun producers or stall the final wave. Flower line, yeah i def used spikeweed for situations where the flowerline was in the middle of the tile. it honestly ain't a bad restriction, oddly enough. they didn't think of mixing mold and flower line, i lowkey expected that at one point during the game, but...no. Defeat X zombies in X secs; I forgot about this one, its just not a lvl type i would lose on. dunno, it just felt like; here's your insta ready to win, always brought cherry bomb for these. Spend less than X sun, yeah i straight up died a few times due to me goofing off and man. lvls aren't hard, they are just always remember that counter above, just bringing 0 sun cost plants break it slightly. Don't lose X plants: These get cheap at some points, not only due to ah yeah, you can lose em quickly, but also; i just straight up abused walls since wallnut kit doesn't make you lose those plants, same with chard guard overplanted on itself. Most plants chosen; ...i mean, locked and loaded 1.5 essentially. Don't spend sun for X secs; Dunno chief, i just straight up didn't play for seconds on the beginning of the game, sure not ideal but hey, its better to redo the lvl on a period that fast forward doesn't exist and you are used to playing with it. Score X points: numbers are a thing that don't hype up for the lvl, the best example is the coconut shooting parrot lvls, but...yeaah these don't do much.

[@galaxyf0x]

hell yea! long videos!

[@RedditorGogeta]

The biggest reason I hate the "Don't lose more than X plants" level is that I CAN'T SHOVEL, like in many instances I put a cheap attacking plant in the back until I get more sun to plant a melon or something (since I can't rely on instas and most walls take very long times to recharge) but since shoveling counts as losing a plant it in these levels it instantly makes the level unbearable for me

I never noticed that the flower line flowers have faces

[@Zeldrake]

Random thoughts no-one will read: - I had no idea mold colonies could be more interesting than "Hahah you lose the back of your lawn," the modded applications are waaaaay cooler than anything the unmodded game ever does - Collect X Sun would be marginally more interesting if the level instawon when you got the sun, as opposed to actually having to finish the rest of it - Flower Line should have the lawnmowers at the flower line for a one-time save, as opposed to where they do nothing - Destroy X Grid Items would be fun if a) all X were on the map at game start (gravestones?) and b) destroying all of them instawon the level

[@tpfoxCastro]

I think it would be funny to have a level where you have a flower line and the last flag is IMPOSSIBLE to beat, so you need to use knockbacks, plants that can't be eaten like spikeweed or infi-nut or something else that can make the zombies go through the flowers and use the lawnmowers to kill the impossible wave.

[@Adi_The_Gamer4158]

I feel like the best example of Locked and Loaded is in Frostbite Caves, where you don't get sun producers in your deck, but there are 8 sunflowers on the field with three being on the top and bottom lane which have slider tiles, and the adjacent lanes to them have one. There are Dodo Zombies, so people who try to defend the middle 3 lanes will get their sun producers eaten. Also, THIS IS VANILLA PVZ 2. That's the kind of level design that i love in this game.

[@SnaksiXD]

Nah Last Stand is the most fun objective, period. Don't spend sun is a really clever and challenging one too.

[@mr.illuminatirekter3213]

Several things that would make these objectives better are: -Making the don't spend sun levels similar to the Least Cash challenges in Bloons, in that it stops you from over spending, and not weigh the objective hard in the early levels -Making score levels not about reaching a super high score target, but about scoring as many points as you can by strategizing your plant layouts and then the points you earn turn to coins at the end of the level, similar to the Cannons Away levels -Make don't lose plant levels more forgiving, as in having less special and/or tanky zombies, and not weighing the plant loss objective hard in the game -Use mold colonies in interesting ways, such as blocking different tiles, instead of the ones at the back -Have flower lines a bit further away from the zombies so as not to risk losing the level quickly -Make new loss screens for the objectives instead of the boring ones: Like for the flowers, "THE ZOMBIES TRAMPLED THE FLOWERS!", for Ghost Pepper, "GHOST PEPPER DID NOT SURVIVE!", and for mold colonies in bonus levels, "YOU PLANTED ON DAVE'S MOLD COLONIES!".

[@keremylmaz8423]

15:01 You can beat pirate seas day 22 with only spikeweed.

[@rileyfairfull2548]

Had to read that title a few times to understand it

[@melvint-p9500]

The RE basement theme really adds to the video

[@pretentiosaurus]

i think the flower line would benefit from being designed more like mowers, where you instead get a bonus from protecting them maybe each flower tile is a piece of the ending bonus, and you only immediately lose if all the flowers are trampled, do even only one flower remaining is fine (you're probs not gonna get the bonus for that tho)

[@alexstewart9592]

You may not lime them individually, but by combining Last Stand, No Mowers and Don't Lose X Plants you can cover each objective's weaknesses by making short Last Stand levels that can't be cheezed with instas or mowers.

I feel like an all manual locked and last stand could work really well

[@gene8512]

12:43 I mistakenly thought that it was possible to lose the Never Have More Than X Plants objective using Holly Barrier, Spore-shroom, or Witch Hazel. Holly Barrier's leaf barriers count as plants for the objective, but thanks to your remark I learned that the new plants simply don't spawn above the maximum

[@emperorpalps7004]

The spikeweed not triggering the flower line makes sense because you plant on top of the flowers so when the zombies walk over it they walk over spikeweed instead of the flowers

[@verbugterherrderdunkelheit6086]

Survive for X seconds sounds like you could do something really different, like a unbeatable level where damage is obsolete and you have to do everything you got to stall,

[@AceandBlast]

I'm pretty sure that some of the objectives also had an instant-loss condition in the old times. You could actually plant on the Mold Colonies accidentaly and you could accidentally go over the Never have more than x plants limit as well. Yes, you could just simply put a plant on a mold and straight up lose the level LOL

[@blooper2088]

Pirate Seas Day 22 is one the funniest levels ever, but I love it, interesting concept, hilariously exploitable weakness, the weeds, Spike and Rock can easily cripple the level if you pair them with Wal-Nuts and Snapdragons.

[@blacklight683]

This vid made me realize that locked and loaded is a good objective AND can make any other objective fun if done right Like every objective I say "that could be fun with locked and loaded"

[@obamacat3]

9:50 i agree even after i left pvz2 for many years i always remembered that level

[@emi_lives_alone]

i agree with most things aside from sun timer and spend no more than X, id put no more than X in A just because i really like the pressure you can get from it, and i personally never lose to it accidentaly (hasnt happend to me in my *insert long time* of playing this game lol, but i understand the people that do complain about it). Sun Timer is B for me because i really like the quick desition making you have to do for it, "do i want to stay with this defense for a while or do i want to keep planting more stuff", always was a fan of that to be honest. Good vid man, cheers.

[@BunnyJolf]

Thing with flower line, if it's in the middle of a tile you can just cheese it with spikes

[@Xezyr]

The objective behind ranking objective is hard to object the objective of being objectively funny!

[@nc7718]

I hate endangered plants solely because of The Old Queens rematch in Eclise. Four endangered sunflowers on minecarts. IN COLUMN EIGHT. WITH BARREL ROLLERS. Holy shit that level sucked ass. Another problem is in Reflourished, where they nerf plants in locked n' loaded levels and then don't nerf the levels alongside them... some of them are frustrating, rng based, and one is straight up impossible without powerups.

[@GNVS300]

Which is the impossible level in Reflourished?

[@DannyCheezits]

i beat that eclise level first try i dont get what your on about

[@trekkinmain4974]

Modern Day Level 16 is impossible in Reflourished without power ups or insane luck. How did they not realize that they should rebalance vanilla levels?

[@nc7718]

@@trekkinmain4974 MD16 is fine. I'm talking about BWB16 and DA18.

[@trekkinmain4974]

@@nc7718 I don't think any of the plants from either of those levels got nerfed (Sun-Shroom is the only one that comes to mind). How did you find them more difficult?

[@KPoWasTaken]

Will have to watch this after school, when I do I may or may not edit this to be a massive comment on everything discussed on this video Agree with everything, didn't think 20:21 was a bug though, thought that was intentional because it only applies to levels where endangered flowers is in the middle. Still agree with the rating

[@AceFuzzLord]

I personally enjoy the Last Stand levels, though mostly when I played the Chinese edition of the game. My favorite level to go to whenever I got a new plant just to try it out was a last stand level in Ancient Egypt because of how low consequence it meant to lose and how basic of a world/level it was compared to other worlds/levels since it was, if I remember correctly, just normals, cones, buckets, mummies, and gargs Though I can pretty much agree for the most part on the other objectives

[@jurrebergamin2685]

I liked the mold colony level in the ehypt expansion levels where you only had 1 back collum and then 4 rows of mid colonies

[@danielburke5673]

Objective idea: don’t let the zombies touch the ground this would only use flying zombies and in this objective blover is banned

[@marcelacoplao]

I gotta say, some b+ tier modifiers can have some levels designed to suck [as in bwb 30] and some f tier modifiers like maybe no lawnmowers can be played properly. It all just comes down to level design [levels like ps22 final stand is likely one of these interesting concepts that makes you try different stuff to see what works and what not]

[@Jakewebmaster8]

You should make a video covering objectives on certain mods. I think it would be really interesting.

[@pedroivog.s.6870]

10:20 this quote aged really well with Guarden Rush

[@nawdawg813]

mold colonies + dont trample the flowers(the flowers are at the very very back.) + prospector zombie + dont plant more than 10 plants + dont lose more than 5 plants + basically every other objective + zomboss in dark ages.

[@cinnamon_board]

To make survive with most plants chosen more interesting try to only use the plants you get to select or only use the plants it gives you

[@leafytheleaf9452]

on a dumb unrelated joke. Zomboss in penny's pursuit when you use reinforce-mint with peanut and torchwood (only works well when you have enough sun and time to create *the hoarde* )

[@youstolemysup7908]

I love these videos

[@HumanoidDerpling]

Hey, could you make a list of the different PvZ2 mods and what major things they change (preferably without spoiling too much about the levels)? A lot of people, like me, know basically nothing about the modding scene, and would love to know what mods I would be into.

[@lol1013]

Hey, you have been talking about pvz late game and how it's not a challenge, I would like to hear how would you change that

35:39 the way the narrator says “NO” made me think that he detests it so much.

I think a good way to fix produce x sun is to use the 6th row zombie to force you to kill all of the final wave's zombies.

[@Darkpq1742]

Personaly I enjoy Last stand levels, Because Even if i lose (Its Extremly Painfull) Its really fun just to "Think the best way to Counter the zombies and Play around X" For me its a Simple B/C
