Anniversary Leveling Contest
You know Champs inside and out, hero, so now's the time to prove it. Every time you level up a character to 40, you're qualifying towards a $250 Amazon gift card or a custom piece of Champs art.
This leveling contest will start later tonight, at 12:01 AM on August 29 (Pacific), and ends 9 AM on Thursday, September 6. Level a character up to Level 40 and you'll get an entry into the contest. We'll do a drawing after the event ends to randomly determine the winner.
If you've got time afterwards, you can try to get another character up to 40. Please don't delete any entered characters, and since it's a leveling contest, only characters created during the event will count.
If you're a diehard Champs fan, the second prize option may be more up your alley. You've seen some of the amazing art in Champs, and with this prize, your character can feature in one. Or maybe you've got a favorite character from the Champs universe who doesn't have awesome concept art? We're open to your suggestions when you win -- frankly, we're curious where you'll take it! Please remember that art is a fickle thing, but we'll try to get you exactly what you want.
In addition, everyone who qualifies will get a special title, 'The Ascendant', plus a stack of MODs and a Catalyst pack.
(Official, fine-print rules here.)

I just hit 40 with three characters today.
Well, time to make some more...
Deliciously nutritious!
Although I'm puzzled as to how a player who gets from level 6 to 40 by doing nothing but Smash alerts will know the game "inside and out".
With that said, prepare for the sudden surge of level 6's in Smash alerts.
Sounds like I'll have to make a character I'll play with for quite a while to come...
Deliciously nutritious!
Then we have a real competition.
But hey, i can probably ding 5-6 to lvl 40 until 6th....So i'm cool wit dat.
NVM..... I have to create a character during this event.....

Maybe Black Fang and Guy Sweetland should also get Darkness Powers and of course make
that the alert fails if a darkness mob just vanishes :cool:

/signed. Seems counterproductive to have a game you can complete in that short of a time.
That would be nice for a change, butr this is the Champs Forum afterall, where no deed goes unpunished. :rolleyes:
Thanks for the contest! I've never levelled a character that quickly (OMG! What a noob, rite!?
You're a lunatic with a mad man's dream of a milk proof robot!

Id rather they bothered fixing the dozens of bugs that they have ignored for months, or the 80+ bugs detailed in the thread below that they introduced with the last patch (that they once removed to fix them first - which they completely failed to do)

Yes, I'm thankful for the most probable surge of fresh level 6's leeching off smash alerts once news of the contest become more widespread (noticed they haven't added an announcement to the front page yet).

If you're one of those types that can manage to create and level two or more characters to 40 in the span of a week then good on ya. It's not like the majority of this game's player population fits into that category anyway.
Bummer. I was hoping for some Double XP to move along some of my lower level alts.

And of course I'm responsible for that, how could I right? Let's not go there OK. Don't act as if I implemented that system. I have made enough posts about leeches in alerts so don't you try to insinuate that I'm supporting it. The point was that spewing venom now is pointless. Not like they will cancel the event.
As it happens , I've spent about 4 or 5 hours and only been in a grand total of three alerts, at level 18 now. And quite sleepy.
Stuffy on the old CO forums. PWE ate my username.
So, no "invasion of the destroids". No "undead heroes" visitations. No "Qular" invasion.
Nothing "Dev" involved.
Just a "who can get to level 40 first contest"?

As for the title, if this isn't account wide that would be yet ANOTHER perk my completionist toon can NEVER get.
But I had another character concept/idea, so I don't mind making a new toon to do this. Not sure if I can get to L40, but I'll give it a try.
I don't expect the grand/second prize, but what are the other "guaranteed unlocks"? Will they be sharable to my other toons or bound to the new L40 toon(s)? Can you please provide more details on the "stack of MODs and a Catalyst pack"? Is the "The Ascendant" title an in-game perk for just that toon, an account-wide title-unlock (would really love this, as I've toons that were "born" pre-contest that would love that title), or perhaps a forum title?
Anyway, thanks for the contest. It is appreciated. Please, also though, take a look and comment in this thread about the "Torrent of Bugs" unleashed in the game of late. Thanks!
When XP earnings during a Double-XP Weekend still feel like I'm underperforming,
there's something terribly wrong with the reward system...
You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Original Join Date: Feb 2010.
It's listed as Bug #61 in the Torrent of Bugs thread.
I have a silver account (always have had silver account), I have an available slot, and when I try to make a new toon, I get the "no available slot" error.
Is this irony, or simply cruelty?

It's cruel irony.

Can't tell if serious...
Although I'm up for it either way.

Hush you!
Totally.
Ooh me! I too would like to mooch on the efforts of others! Sign me up!
Actually nah. *Clicks on Leave Current Map*
As far as this whole 'leveling contest' thing goes, it's kind of a silly idea. It's like sending people out to a soccer match in a new field, except not all the landmines have been cleared.
Valiant effort only gets a person so far and quite frankly, if all a level 6 has is a tier 1 blast with absolutely nothing buffing it, and suffers greatly in the survivability department with no defensive passive or heals, I'm not to pull the wool over my eyes and pretend that there's any ample contribution being considered here when the higher-levelled players (who are worth their salt) are obviously doing most of the work.
If a player wants to exercise their right in bringing a level 6 to an alert with the expectations of being carried then it's only fair that I reserve the right not to partake in it.
Too many bugs.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
And I can understand this completely. I've been frustrated enough to drop out of the alert, too. I think there should be a level requirement to get to alerts, to be honest. I'd also like to see a scoring system in them, too.
Like totally serious. And of all everything i'm slapping my Lifetimer Emblem on, for the 'In Your Face! I'm Not A Noob' experience.

I would if i could exit Power House without crashing......which is nice...
Yup, i'm done with this crap. Why even bother trying.

Shame that getting a Elf to level 40 in GW2 doesn't count huh?

Though, level 6's in my alerts doesn't usually bother me. For the first ten levels or so, its an alert per level anyways. So they aren't level 6 very long! Though it does get frustrating when the entire TEAM is level 6. That's when you start failing alerts, and it takes more time to level than just questing.
Btw. i started once a Pulse Beam Rifle toon with level 6 directly in Alerts, and starting with
level 9 i mostly draw aggro .. no damage buffs .. just PBR running in Hybrid with Invuln :eek:
There are no Elfs in GW2
And btw.: i have 32 level 40 chars in CO .. how many have you ? Maybe if you played so
often through the small number of zones we only have, you are also a little bored of
going through them for another time.
Emphasis mine. If someone like me wants to abuse the game with stuff I'm fairly confident the majority of the community is unaware of then the odds are decidedly in my favor. Ergo, I wouldn't have the contest structured like that. In a week of play I could level all of my empty slots to 40. My empty slots are in the double digits. I'd limit this to one entry per account...but then someone who's hell bent on "winning" could just roll a bunch of silver accounts...

That's all well and good but I highly doubt you'll pull yourself away from GW2 long enough to level more than an alt or two.
I also highly doubt anybody is actually going to put in the effort required to shift the odds in their favor like that.
What is happening? Where's Cryptic? I feel like the game's been abandoned and is being maintained by a pack of dingos. Dingos ate my baby!
