Nope. I spent a lot of time working my way up to max just to get him and it'll be really annoying to just have him given away for those that didn't try to work for it. i can understand there are those who have never played the first game that probably want him but i say just let him be available through hero showcases only but not just given to everyone. at least not anytime soon
I think the answer to this question is absolutely and irrefutably a yes... Pop Cap wouldn't exactly be stepping out of the box on an issue like this, since video games involving pre-order bonuses VERY OFTEN provide those exact same pre-order "exclusive" bonuses to folks via other means, whether it be in game unlocks or purchasable DLC. The most important thing that Pop Cap can probably do, however, is make their absolute final decision sooner than later so players who would rather play Garden Warfare 2 don't spend hours on the first game grinding out coins to upgrade their characters. The truth of the matter, however, is that the majority of people who weren't already level 313 (or close to it) are going to be less likely to go back to the first game just for one character... Basically what this means is that the vast majority of 313 ranks got an UNEXPECTED FREE CHARACTER, or simply realized that they were already extremely close to getting it.
So the reality of the matter is that no ones getting short changed, and in fact it's the opposite. The majority of the community isn't going to feel like going back to the first game to get one character (myself included), so giving people the opportunity to either purchase or unlock the character is doing fans a huge favor that is likely to resonate with more people than it ticks off...
A good example is the Z7 Imp, which I specifically paid the 10 extra dollars on the "Deluxe Edition" for... Is 10 dollars a lot of money? Not really, but I also work very hard for my money. But on the same token, would I be against people having the ability to unlock him in game? I could honestly care less...
With me, personally, I had an absolute blast playing PVZ Garden Warfare 1, but there are so many things about the first game -- aside from the maps -- that just make it completely obsolete compared to the second game... With that said, I honestly don't feel like going back and playing it just for one character, and for what it's worth, I actually ended up having the video game on two consoles. I purchased the game (at launch) for the Xbox 360 and was basically an online bulldozer getting well past 100. I later downloaded the game on the PS4, after I sold my 360, and got to about level 96 (or so). Overall, I'd be about a 250, and would have probably went back for the 60 plus levels if I had them all on one console, but PVZGW2 has been so fun that I just don't feel like it.
Perhaps AFTER the overly generous one year grace period they've given us. (But make it a hard challenge) People should still try to aim for max rank themselves.
Maybe host a community challenge in GW1 to give some skip challenge stars every now and then to speed things up for those that want it.
You are only good as your word. If they go back on their word then that alone will start a new type of * storm.
I don't think 313's will mind if others have to reach max rank in GW2. The other suggestion of maxing all Chompers or just the Unicorn Chomper when he's available in the Hero Showcase is far too easy and a kick in the face to so called loyal players.
If they buckle under the pressure to all the cry babies out there I expect something really special for compensation. I don't care about Infinity Time character or Legendary characters being the reward either and if it was just coins that would be insulting. It would have to be something truly unique.
Maybe a new ability for characters or like I said before givng me back my golden Cactoos skin.
The he jealousy is quite apparent for the Unicorn Chomper, playing with him online is like have a target on your back.
yes it should be unlockable in GW2, too many butthurt people, its just a game, let everyone enjoy it.
I think Popcap has been clear on how to unlock it. I don't see the problem here or why people are complaining. If you want the UniChomper go back and max your rank like everyone else unless you somehow think you are better or too good to do it. Then perhaps the Chomper is too good for you as well.
What about the idea of letting people have the Unicorn Chomper but only as a skin for the regular Chomper. So it looks like the Unicorn Chomper, but can't warp. That way the people who got to 313 in the original game can still enjoy the fruits of their labor and the people who didn't earn it would at least get a Chomper that looks like it.
Just a thought...
