As such, we won't be able to put it out there in Octobers build which will make that build a bit light but I think it will be worth the wait. Plus we have the Halloween event this month so it won't be too light.

I'm going to get back to analyzing the rates of faction gain now, just wanted to let people know how we are doing over here

i for one am glad some changes are being made to make the title system less of a grind fest.

Title update? I hope what I assume isn't correct. Please god no.

linsey hates the title grind fyi and has stated multiple times she wants to reduce it a ton

if anything this is going to be one of the most positive updates the game has had in some time.

especially since we'll get to feast upon the tears of the many who forgot this game wasn't about grind.

If Anet reduce title grind I love them long time.

Hopefully they'll look at the titles that need it, the FFF ones ( really what they've become know as) Wisdom and Treasure hunting really need it not sure if i'm missing some but those are the main.

There should be some sort of retroactivity somtime like the glad point change if its major.

As opposed to somone having 1000/5000 pts on a title, they double the amount of pts given per action and the same palyer would still have 1000/5000, if they did it the same as the glad system then that person would have more like 2500/5000 , A rough estimate but you know what i'm saying.

Went and bookmarked that page. prob read over the other things at the weekend, ( and yeah I know some of the material goes back to June)

She said that one possible change will be the treasure/wisdom to account based

This Might help me get GWAMM sooner, 3 titles short, well see how it plays out.

Interesting-hopefully when she gets the design locked down she'll let us know what it's going to be like.

StormDragonZ · Oct 01, 2008, 08:55 PM // 20:55

So we can expect something involving titles in November... so does that mean not much in October besides the Halloween Event?

I'd wonder if they would do something to the Drunkard, Sweet Tooth and Party Animal titles...

sph0nz · Oct 01, 2008, 08:58 PM // 20:58

Nice. Less grinding is always a good thing.

HawkofStorms · Oct 01, 2008, 08:59 PM // 20:59

Hmmm interesting.
Though I still think there is a possibility there was just a slip up of wording between "HoM monuments" and "titles"
Until I hear anything more difinitive, my expectations are low.

Teutonic Paladin · Oct 01, 2008, 09:07 PM // 21:07

Or a reset xp and deaths button

I'm still a bit pessimistic on what's going to happen.

So you're getting the popcorn? Then I will get some cheese for the whine.

I guess if all she's doing is working to decrease grind, maybe there will be more options made for points, higher rewards, or possibly even lower max levels. It seems logical to apply this to the reputation titles and stuff, but what about money titles, like Drunkard and stuff?

That itself though is sorta like a late response to an ongoing plea though, so it probably won't be that exciting. On the other hand, it'll be interesting to see what they can do besides increase and decrease numbers.
