I guess, but I think those people wanted emotes for something that actually was a little bit of an accomplishment. I think that having an emote for opening z-chests is really about as big of an insult to PvE players as they could have come up with, if the intent was a PvE emote.

I certainly wouldn't want to prove to anyone else that I'd opened it that many times o_0

Seriously , nobody is forcing you to get that title you know...

You must not spend much time here then...

It was only an observation that I've noticed. Go to Sardelac and watch the people who suggest new titles. You'll see what I mean.

Make sure to get off your high horse before you go though.

Talk about opening up the GOLD SELLERS market what a BOOM to their economy.

Taurucis · May 08, 2008, 06:49 PM // 18:49

This is, in a way, even worse than the Heroes Ascent title. (I didn't think it was possible...) Now, people who eBay gold will get an emote. Just wonderful.

i know no more than the rest of us, but odds are that will be an explorable/pvp area speicifc emote, can you imagine the amount of lag if about 20 people with r10 started running around somewhere spamming it?

but your right, its a cool as RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO emote

Dr Strangelove · May 08, 2008, 06:50 PM // 18:50

Hey, that's kind of nifty. It's essentially a Balthazar faction title, which is fine by me. Quit crying over new free stuff.

I'm sad it's not retroactive, all I have to show for my last thousand or so keys is a pile of creme brulee and firewater.

makosi · May 08, 2008, 06:51 PM // 18:51

Lol.

Another quality idea from the USA. Z Key prices will temporarily sky rocket.

**cosyfiep** · May 08, 2008, 06:51 PM // 18:51

I looked at the date today and its not april 1st....but it MUST be some kind of joke on us.

now people can bambi and spear me.....more reasons to go to outposts that are deserted.....oh boy <sarcasm on> good job anet <off>

wish they would spend their time FIXING broken things instead of pointless stuff like this

oh well....guess some things will never get fixed....

StormDragonZ · May 08, 2008, 06:52 PM // 18:52

Just a thought... will Zaishen Keys go up, down or stay the same in price now thanks to the title?

Richardt · May 08, 2008, 06:52 PM // 18:52

Seems everyone is focusing on the fact you can get this title from opening the ZChest.

Completely ignoring the fact that it looks like you get points from winning in the mAT's. And those that don't participate in the mATs can use their reward points to work on this title.

And for those saying it's ANet's way of forcing more grind-noone is making you do this. You don't need these emotes. Complaining about the extra grind is basically just complaining for the sake of doing it.

Now whether or not I agree with the addition of a new title, I do think those emotes look really good and well thought out.

fowlero · May 08, 2008, 06:53 PM // 18:53

I lol'd hard.

Well at least its nice of them to put in new stuff.

The keys price is going up already lol. A Guildies got 264 in storage, slightly envious...

Pretty sure they will go UP!

Observations can always have different conclusions based upon who is observing. I just ask that you refrain from speaking for all Guru posters and just speak your own opinion. As to time spent at Guru, I have been here long enough to know that there are a lot of self appointed experts here that seem to forget it is just a game.

Could someone please cut and paste the info into this thread? The link doesn't work for me.

Dr Strangelove · May 08, 2008, 06:57 PM // 18:57

Honestly, you people would complain about anything.

If they made this available only through Balthazar faction, you'd complain about PvPers oppressing PvEers or something.

If so, it's far more likely to get people who don't want to play PvP to fly into fits of nerdrage instead.

And yeah, it pretty much sucks.

If they made it a PvE emote, people would complain that emotes are a PvP title, and that it would be buyable by ebayers.

If they made it free, you'd complain it was too easy.

If they made it spiky, purple, and mango flavored you'd complain about the lack of whipped cream.

Only need citations for the too easy and spiky purple options! Don't let me down!

Ravious · May 08, 2008, 06:57 PM // 18:57

I think that this is genius.

People who rarely PvP can get low tiers of the title by buying zkeys. This strengthens the market of the zkeys, and allows great PvP'ers to rake in cash all the more quickly to buy their epeen weapons and armor.

However, it is very, very hard to get the title without PvP'ing.

So, I would say A.Net created a pretty good balance here.

Doesn't mean they could have spent their time on other issues, but what they created, I feel they created well.

...Spiky and purple? You mean Mallyx? He's banana flavored. And he doesn't like being coated in whipped cream.

It's just that this title seems so... absurd. People have been saying "remove pvp emotes" and Anet plops this down on us.

My take on why everyone is so enraged is because now we're going to have gold eBayers ranking us.

Zaishen Title Track

When you use a Zaishen Key on a Zaishen Chest, you get 5 Zaishen Reputation Points. The Zaishen Reputation points are applied to a brand new account-based title track, the Zaishen Title. You can buy a Zaishen Key from Tolkano for either 5000 Balthazar Faction or 5 Tournament Reward Points. Additionally, Monthly Tournament Reward Points have been increased. GvG went from 300 to 4500 and 1v1 went from 100 to 1500.

Rank Reputation Points Needed Title Name
1 250 Zaishen Supporter
2 500 Friend of the Zaishen
3 1000 Companion of the Zaishen
4 1680 Ally of the Zaishen
5 2800 Sentinel of the Zaishen
6 4660 Steward of the Zaishen
7 7750 Defender of the Zaishen
8 12960 Warden of the Zaishen
9 21600 Bastion of the Zaishen
10 36000 Champion of the Zaishen
11 60000 Hero of the Zaishen
12 100000 Legendary Hero of the Zaishen

Zaishen Rank Emotes

For each Rank you have on the Zaishen Title track, you will get a special emote that shows off your Title. To display your emote, just type /zaishen or /zrank. When you type in the emote command, the weapons listed below will dramatically fall from the sky and embed themselves into the ground in front of you. The Zaishen Rank emotes were created to be very interactive. For example, if you position yourself correctly, you can use it as a finishing move after you defeat someone!

Rank Emote
1 Copper Spear
2 Silver Spear
3 Golden Spear
4 Golden Spear + Copper Hammer
5 Golden Spear + Silver Hammer
6 Golden Spear + Golden Hammer
7 Golden Spear + Golden Hammer + Copper Axe
8 Golden Spear + Golden Hammer + Silver Axe
9 Golden Spear + Golden Hammer + Golden Axe
10 Golden Spear + Golden Hammer + Golden Axe + Copper Sword
11 Golden Spear + Golden Hammer + Golden Axe + Silver Sword
12 Golden Spear + Golden Hammer + Golden Axe + Golden Sword

Pretty much that

Meh, people are buying crap loads of them anyway. Im just glad I havent spent any money on them so far, im assuming its not retroactive.
