Finale dicussion: Driftwood shores

Driftwood Shores is great, although a couple of the points; like the castle, are fairly easy to defend. The finale is indeed great fun and the engineer flying posterior first out of the cannons always makes me chuckle; quite glad all these cannon ride animations were kept in GW2.

I always feel bad when the megaflower is vanquished, even winning as a zombie, as she wilts in the final cut scene. I prefer her happy wink when the plants win here. That being said, the flower can be difficult to defend if the zombie team coordinates well. As plants, we have to watch for drones sneaking in and wreaking havoc on the flower and our defenses. As zombies, get those flax cannons down fast so we can land in some form of safety; if not, just like you point out here, we have to aim low and land at the end of the island which takes us longer to get to the objective or possibly crash into the water.

Several potted plant spots to work with here and potato mines placed well can be huge. The plants can push towards the landing zones but they can't all do that or you'll get the situation when even just 1 zombie sneaking past can do a lot of damage to the megaflower. Pushing the beaches can work though, and peashooters throwing bean bombs down at the beach can be a great help for their team. There are a few spots to summon zombies too, I tend to do that a lot as even a couple of them can distract the plants so zombies can get in and damage the flower. 

Edit: on the islands and cannons thing, where I believe you're indicating Tourist Trap Island. Unfortunately, tourist trap island was obviously rushed as the points all feel samey (the 2nd and 3rd are just open areas with some walls around them), and it has the least interesting finale out of all 3 games, but I'm sure you'll get to that in time.

@Iron_Guard8I loved how every character had a unique flying animation like the butt first engineer or scientist panickingly flailing in the air. Gw2 rightfully kept them and animated the new characters well like imp flapping his arms like a bird or Superbrainz imitating a flying superhero.

The castle was by far the worst area as an attacker as even a half decent plant team you've been dominating the entire match can reliably hold out there.

I've lost so many matches due to engineers sneaking drones into the second floor, sadly even when my team notices it's only the one chomper main who can't do anything to stop it.

Tourist trap island just feels so poorly handled. The mish mash of different reused assests used in the first area that are more for visuals than anything else unlike driftwood where buildings and the rocky coastline played a very important factor in the combat, the lackluster jumping pads to the island, the most boring final objective (glorified reverse tug of war lol) in any of the maps, the poorly animated final cutscenes, not using the island in a really creative way for combat, and the overall truckload of bugs and glitches with the map in general.

It feels like they wanted to do driftwood again because it's a fan favorite but forgot all of the reasons driftwood worked so well.
