UniChomp Opinion & Solution!
This is in response to seeing what I heard at the end of the recent 'Live from Popcap' stream and what I've seen being talked about in the forums.
I'm assuming the only reason they are considerin...

@MoonLiteWolf The issue with Unicorn Chomper was that if you didn't get it in weeks prior to the games release, you were left high and dry. And going back to play GW1, I found nothing by drying-up servers and lobbies with 4 - 5 people per team because everyone was playing the new game. I had accepted the fact that I wouldn't ever get the Unicorn Chomper. It wasn't worth the time or effort (or even money, if it came to that) to go back and waste time doing over 230 levels to get skip challenge stars, and that was my opinion. And, to be fair, I'd seen more negative criticism of the character, than positive feedback on the boards here.
To fix the issue: give all players the chance to get Unicorn Chomper, but give 313 from GW1 players a legendary customization item that cannot be unlocked any other way. That way you're not withholding valuable content from all players and then "loyal/dedicated" players (I use the term loosely because the leveling system had nothing to do with loyalty or dedication in GW1) have something to show for their 313 status.
There is no issue because POPCAP has already given everyone a chance to get the UniChomper by granting them another year to max their rank in GW1.
- I think players should have a chance to unlock it in GW2. It should stay as a max rank reward though. If you unlock it in GW1 within the year you get the sparkly colorful original unichomper. But if you unlock it in GW2 you get a non sparkly non rainbow version or something along those lines. I dont think they should offer it for a hero showcase. That definitely takes away the special-ness of it. There are lots of young/new fans who just weren't allowed to play as much as they wanted to reach max rank or who's parents just wont spend the time on reaching max rank on an old game especially after spending money on GW2. Those are the fans I feel for because its literally not in their control.

Or if they give each Chomper the ability to rainbow warp if they maxed rank in GW1 and just allow everyone else to burrow?
Metal Chomper with rainbow warp will be on Scientist level...
Problem is, I dedicated a lot of my time to get it and if I knew it was going to be released I wouldn't have wasted my time.
- Yes! I was just going to edit my answer to say that the GW1 version should have the warp but GW2 version should not. That way hes still really special for GW1 players but Popcap isnt excluding new players who literally maybe never had a chance at getting him.
You are all forgetting that YOU ALREADY HAVE A CHANCE TO UNLOCK IT! Go back to GW1 and unlock it. I'm sick of newbie/lazy players just wanting everything handed to them. This was meant as a reward for players who played GW1 even when all the updates and dlc stopped. You cant just start crying because you don't want to put jn the hard yards. I did and I'm pretty sure every other TRUE fan of PVZ did too.

- I did unlock it. Lol. I was one of first people to hear about it when it was announced they were doing a reward for max rank. Thats why I think it should stay a character that people have to earn. The whiners who didnt want to do the work in GW1 still have to put in work in GW2 and at least kids/ brand new fans get a chance too. Plus changing his skin for GW2 players and reserving the warp for for only people who earned him in GW1 keeps him super special. If players STILL want to whine then go back to GW1 and earn him there, you have a year. Making it a hero showcase would be the biggest slap in the face to the people who put in the "hard yards" in my opinion.
