Not Too Smelly, because it makes me laugh. Don't care about the rest.

I was sad when I forgot to NOT get the blessing and ended up accidentally moving to the next rank of the title track.

Vanquisher, Guardian, (Defender?) of the north.

Don't have much respect for PvP titles. Especially champion / high ranked hero just screams "I'M A POMPOUS ASS WIPE PVE IS FOR NOOBS". I'm ranked decently myself in HA, it's really not a big deal.

PvE wise - not really a whole lot. As far as that goes the only ones I may notice are ones that one can not totally purchase and require at least some level of playing the game - Skill Hunter, Vanquisher, Treasure hunter, and a few others. Even then you can purchase the hard part and simply grind the rest out. But then, there is some level of respect for someone who spent that much time doing the same repetitive task. Add in any title that requires them (far enough along in the KOABD tract). Though, amusingly enough, if you do all the titles the "hard way" (do not simply purchase your way to them) those are some of the easier ones.

True, but they only require lame builds with a little understanding of the game - effectively if I can see the title for myself it sucks. I'm a terrible PvP'er and were I to choose to grind it out I could get it. I've also seen some high level people in this rank say some, well, idiotic stuff (for instance humans interrupt lower cast time skills and can see a larger portion of the battle field than the AI does as an interrupter - and note this was *explicitly* stated - I agree a good human interrupter makes better decisions but there is no way they have near the reflexes or the ability the AI has to switch targets - even if said reflexes and switching targets interrupts worthless skills).

There are no titles that are prestigious to simply have and I see no way to create one. I really wish they had a "how good are you" title but there is no way to make one. As such a title mainly shows that one was dedicated enough to get it, after that it generally takes very little to figure out if the person also has the skill/intelligence to follow with it from simply talking to the person.

so the title wher the most people have "vote" on is the champion title, but isn't a good gladiator title cool too? specially if you do it in random arenas. [i think]

tipiak · Feb 20, 2008, 09:43 AM // 09:43

Most of the titles are respectable for their madness. I mean 10.000.000 factions points ? That's 5.000.000 points transfered with 1.500 per win in AB. I don't speak about FFF or HFFF because it's so mindblending even Ursan looks like an orgasm compared to it (and god knows it's boring as hell). 10.000 chests opened ? 10.000 golds IDed ? 10.000 minutes drunk ? 10.000 sweets ? What the hell ? Respect to those who achieved these crazy titles.
Champion is indeed a hard title to get as well as Rxx in HoH because it takes some skills too.
Legendary whatsoever isn't as hard as before :
- protector/guardian : ursan + guildies
- vanquisher : see above
- cartographer : textmod

They just take an incredible amount of time. I'm just doing legendary guardian/protector when I have some spare time, talking with friends on TS and taking some fancy builds to achieve the mission.

Lol, If that was sarcasm, I totally failed at grasping it...

If not, "wow" dude... 3-2-1...

At the moment im going for the Party Animal title, i love the sounds of that

looks much better than the maxed one imo

N1ghtstalker · Feb 20, 2008, 10:08 AM // 10:08

Legendary Skill Hunter
why?
hard work for the title
i just got Tyrian Skill hunter and it was hell with all the random spawns
with such a title you show you've been through alot of enemies, bosses and more
also
this title combines exp and money cost, cap sigs = 1k + skillpoint
i rest my case

It depends upon the player.

For me, an honestly acquired Survivor. Not the boxing one, but the normal ones - achieved through straight questing and missioning.

And while I'm most proud of my Survivor and Indomitable survivors, they were acquired with some help and sequence breaking, so they don't count. But they were hard to get, and of my titles I'm most proud of them.

Oh, and my warrior's Protector title. The first one, when it was all still hard as I was new.

I have a great respect for those who have achieved LDoA, purely because of the number of hours that need to be dedicated to achieving it - an officer in my guild achieved it recently after devoting 1700 hours of gaming time to it. Granted a lot of this is AFK, but thats still a huge amount of time resisting participating in other guild events or achieving other titles, not to mention overcoming the frustration of disconnects.

Other than LDoA, I have a great respect for those with Legendary Vanquisher and Master of the North.

Skillz! Name of this title says everything ;D

Abedeus · Feb 20, 2008, 11:17 AM // 11:17

None. Titles = waste of time.

10,000 matches * 20 minutes = 200,000 minutes
200,000 / 60 = 3,333 hours
If you're playing 2 hours of GvGs a day and manage to get >1,200 rating opponent every time, it would take four and half years to get the max title. How explicit can I be to tell you that titles with these conditions are nothing but endless grind for those who have nothing better to do than play one computer game all day. There is, in my opinion, nothing respectable about them. Youngsters are so easily led these days. Some fat coder adds couple of zeroes at the end to create nice even number and people go rampage to be the first one to reach it. Supported by people in threads like these "yeah, champion really is a nice and respectable title", idiocy knows no bounds. Yuck.

Same.

12c..

There are no respectable PvE titles anymore. Vanquisher and Guardian were the last of the PvE greats, but they were mauled by bears. Champion, Gladiator and the higher Hero ranks are the only worthwhile titles left.

S_Serpent · Feb 20, 2008, 02:43 PM // 14:43

I'm still working an my "away" and "do not disturb" titles, still not maxed

Although spend crazy amount of hours on both settings, for me those are the best (rofl)

Dronte · Feb 20, 2008, 02:50 PM // 14:50

Grandmaster Treasure Hunter

Smile Like Umean It · Feb 20, 2008, 02:52 PM // 14:52

None.
Doesn't mean I don't respect a person's show of skill, I just don't care about their titles.
