Rarely have people actually gone in there for favor. It's mostly just fame farming.

Not really, because those of us who actually gave a flying RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO about titles already have 20+ of them already... and the rest aren't easily maxable.

Thank goodness for GW:EN then. We'll see how many titles that'll bring.

It should be interesting to see how this plays out; it'd also be harder to keep track of, unless a counter were included in the announcement. Twenty also seems a bit high to wait with maxing titles. At least we still have scrolls.

You know whats painful about this,

Favor.... Favour... /favor gets a response, while spelling it the way many english speaking countries intended gets UNKNOWN COMMAND!

Argh!

The real problem is not about grammar, but about how the favor system works.

Lol. The fabric of GW is ripping right before our very eyes!

Seriously, Anet, I didn't really agree with the PvP side controlling PvE access, but I didn't know there were more ridiculous options.

QFT. If people start catching on that you can throw lore out the window to fix a game mechanic, things are going to get *very* interesting

Why grind on this game when I can play a whole new one? MAX titles? I wonder what will happen in a few months when nearly every one has their titles maxed.

=HT=Ingram · Aug 10, 2007, 08:02 AM // 08:02

yea we already have passage scrolls to use anytime we want. I see this as doing two things really... 1 good 1 bad...

1: this makes Ecto farming really hard now in some cases, cause I doubt an ecto farmer is going to grind a character for titles just so they can farm ecto. and this will drop people from HA, Yay. for HA becoming dead... have not liked it since it was moved to PVP battle isle anyways.

2: passage scroll drops will be in high demand as they will now be considered bonus reward items allowing a full party to go to UW or FoW or whatever regardless of the favor system. The end result of this will be skyrocketing Passage scroll prices which needs nipped in the bud ASAP by Anet. Otherwise the gold seller suppliers will use it as their new money source to keep in business.

I look at it this way. get rid of favor entirely and have the passage scroll only... Then add a vendor for them at the end game areas of each chapter... I said thi sin another thread so I dont want to repeat it again, but that will control inflation markets, and provide access to whoever wants it any time reguardless of favor.

simple point is I already play them this way anyhow... I consider UW and FoW both off limits 100% of the time unless I find a Passage scroll someplace. then I save it for an Alliance group to go down and have some hours long fun... I think thats the way it should be...

Cherrie · Aug 10, 2007, 08:15 AM // 08:15

imho this is the worst idea ever...
Scrolls were fine way to give access to those areas... this is... crpa.... WTF is up with the pro-gring thing? Jeez... now we even have to grind for FoW and UW...

How about, make number of wins necesary to gain favor 1?
But each win grants favor for 20 minutes (so people would have enough time to set up for FoW/UW)... Making it possible for multiple areas to have favor at the same time..
Its not a gread idea, but way better than this Maxed Title crap! How many people out there are actually maxing titles out? Think of something esle... This sucks totally...

Leonhart · Aug 10, 2007, 08:32 AM // 08:32

lol just to think i maxed out SS title...aww no glory for me lol

Milennin · Aug 10, 2007, 08:35 AM // 08:35

I think it's a weird change to the Favor system, I'll have to see how this works. I wonder why they just can't open favor for all territories permanently.

Komes I · Aug 10, 2007, 08:39 AM // 08:39

Oh i don't like the sound of this. What about players like me who don't like to max out their titles? It was much better before, and not because i live in Europe (ok maybe a bit). Actualy, i don't mind it this way, i don't go to FoW and UW anyway!

kradens · Aug 10, 2007, 08:56 AM // 08:56

sometimes i wonder if anet are testing the community like guinea pigs - to see exactly how stupid we are.

well anet. im not stupid, and im not going to pour in hundreds of hours of gaming to get a piece of text beneath my fake alter ego, JUST to get into an area thats got crappy drops to begin with.

doing something over and over sucks ass, and that's what most of these titles are (open a gazzilion chests, kill a gazzilion monsters for sunspear, win a bazzillion AB games, get to level 20 in presear when the means to do so arnt even there).

mr_groovy · Aug 10, 2007, 08:58 AM // 08:58

my 2 cents:
globs currently 7k and going up up up.

This is madness
No this is favor!!!!!!!!

Aerial Assault · Aug 10, 2007, 09:12 AM // 09:12

Just wanted to reaffirm the sentiment of so many:

WORST UPDATE TO DATE.

And this is coming from someone who's never complained about one until now.
Truly fitting.

Rambo' · Aug 10, 2007, 09:21 AM // 09:21

People who are saying whats gonna happen when ppl max these titles, theyll just add a higher one on top....for someone who has never been much interested in these titles this is awful. Some people like to achieve the max titles, let them go do it, but for me, someone who is happy just acheiving the title as it happens this is just so sad.

I've been playing this game for 2 years now, almost since the day of release and ive never had the compulsion to post on forums about an update till now. You cant change something this big imo two years into the game, this will just shoot new people wanting to go for fow armor in the foot, when in the past you've made it more accessible. Ok yeah maybe other continents dont get favor often, but a long time ago it was the same for europeans.

Please revert.
