Oukanna Lion's Arch Merchant Join Date: Apr 2007 Guild: Ancient Shaolin Guardians Profession: E/D	Mmm i can see perhaps why it is like this; Anet did want to encourage your title progression because you will get rewarded for it in guild wars2 and GW:EN! Perhaps this is the wrong way though...... Maxing out full titles is a long task and i thought the old favour brought the PVE and PVP together?? At some point almost everyone will have max titles and everything will slow down! Then it would be left with the country with the highest population wins!? I am not in favour for this idea but i will see what happens! who knows maybe it will work out.

I mean I get it but....I can think of a number of ways to have made this alot easier to understand.

Yeah the wording they gave is extremely long winded and confusing.

Didn't they do that by giving us rewards for buying GW2 and connecting your account to it...? The rewards will probably be absolutely shite but you get the idea.

Zexion Wilds Pathfinder Join Date: Apr 2005 Guild: Warrior Nation [WN] Profession: N/Me	Yes, but if they used both the old and the new systems, it would still be plausible to get more than 1 hour of access per week, while still allowing all regions to get access every once in a while. The problem I have with this system is as follows: With the old system, there were ALWAYS _someone_, somewhere in the world who had access to the Realms of the Gods. Now however? There will be (more or less) large periods of time where NOONE has access to Realms of the Gods, outside of scrolls. In the end, it greatly limits the overall access to the regions, however it may raise the access in such regions as Japan. _Zexion

Who says the goal was to increase access? I'm pretty sure the goal was to de-couple from PVP and make the system fair to all regions. Now the folks in Japan and Taiwan, you know, get to farm UW too.

I'd say mission accomplished.

What??? Are you sure you're playing guild wars? All I saw in game were people who gained the maximum rank in a title had their names displayed. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Game_updates:August_2007

you are 100% wrong.

"Favor will now be granted based on character-driven achievements. Each time a character achieves the maximum rank in a qualifying title, the world will be one step closer to gaining the gods' favor."

I bolded, italiced, and underlined the operative phrase so you can read it a little better.

I just watched 4 people attain max titles in 9 minutes. What are we bitching about again?

Lol. We've had access steadily since the first 20 people hit.

Two theories come to mind:

1) A whole lot of people have been secretly saving up their maxed titles for just such a day to come along.

2) Anet actually knows what they're doing.

Oukanna Lion's Arch Merchant Join Date: Apr 2007 Guild: Ancient Shaolin Guardians Profession: E/D	Yeah its only max ranks that alter the favour! http://www.guildwars.com/gameplay/pvp/favorupdate.php On further thought, this new system does provide more access to places like Taiwan etc ...maybe they should just change the system to a rotation system......makes it completely fare and everywhere gets a turn!

Read above. I think it is possible for Anet to add more titles to the game. Just a thought.

Neo Nugget Site Contributor Join Date: Jan 2006 Profession: R/	It would be nice for them to add a few more outlets for getting titles for GW:EN, ones we already have avialable. liiike polymock gets you an ale or sweet item But i wonder why they didnt add vanquisher titles to the list.

NO! NO! that's can't be it! Anet aer teh suck!!!

It's really not that hard for them to see the average # of max titles are achieved per hour. I'm sure they just found the average # needed to keep it going at 3 min chunks.

shopkeeps Pre-Searing Cadet Join Date: Aug 2007 Profession: E/	not the best change I think its great that they changed the system to allow more countries to favor instead of Europe all the time but it seems to me that in doing so they made it pointless to play Heroes Acent which personally I would only play so that America could get favor.
