Neither does pretty armor, or pretty weapons, or rank for that matter. People do it because it's something to do it, and might actually enjoy working toward it.

Sounds like somebody needs a hug.

So if you have skill hunter and have 45 each from 2 capaigns you dont have the title anymore?I would perfer the 3 titles and an international one.Not that this affects me but ive thought about it.

Kakumei · Nov 16, 2006, 12:04 AM // 00:04

I'm ambivalent, slightly leaning in favor of changing.

ThunderStruck · Nov 16, 2006, 12:06 AM // 00:06

I like the changing idea, but I'd really rather see the treasure and wisdom titles become account based...

And while your at it maybe introduce something nice to go with new revamped koabd title track. Like say for instance "emotes/ visual ingame distinction".
Also see my Petition: Emote "kind of a big deal" title track.
This gives people even more a boost to get them titles/ replay value. And ofcourse like rank the more koabd you have, the better the visual

. Maybe has something to do with the gods, like burning as Balthazar. Oozing as grenth. Dwayana Wings

I realize that Anet is bound and determined, for whatever reason, to try and remove all the gold from characters by continually creating titles that are nothing but gold sinks (putting in a Drunkard title in a game aimed at 13 year olds? good idea there).

Instead of coming out with more silly titles, maybe release a finished game instead, and not do like EA does and release a poorly tested and implemented game, actually fix the stuck character issues, or fix the numerous Z axis issues that still crop up on nearly every bridge.

There are so many other items that should be resolved first, but I guess adding ridiculous titles is much more important.

Thanks for nothing.

Agreed 100%

There is more pressing things that need attention before more lame titles. The only thing KoaBD proves is you have a less then active life...who wants to advertise that?

Sorry for the slightly off-topic but it is an issue that needs to be addressed.

Gun Pierson · Nov 16, 2006, 12:15 AM // 00:15

Ok I like this idea, but I have a question:

As I have KOBD deal now and working on PKM, I would also like to display the international titles I will automatically have by this change. Is it possible to show them too? Let's say a regional title in light blue, above that an international title in purple and finally on top under your character KOBD and PKM titles in Gold? Or something like that. Just an idea and I don't know if it's workable as I don't have the time now to think this through. But it would show what you've been doing. Yeah vanity is one of my sins, but nobody is perfect.

BTW Bane, I do have a life, job, woman etc. Also I play with my monk only, but I do understand what you're saying, there are also other issues that need to be adressed.

aspectacle · Nov 16, 2006, 12:16 AM // 00:16

I'm liking the idea.

However, how do the core Elites, you know, Word of Healing and such, get counted in this title? You can only cap a skill once, will it contribute to all of the titles or just for the continent you capped it for? Or would the campaign specific title only apply to campaign specific skills?

Thanks.

Doesn't a big company as ANET have different teams working on different things in the game? Let the debuggers handle the bugs, and the "creative devs" work on some new things that can add replay value.

Btw It took me a long time getting KOABD. You can spend time on different chars, or working for titles on one. It's just about choice, not having a less active life

Jodie O · Nov 16, 2006, 12:33 AM // 00:33

Sign me up gaile, Elite's should go towards the "koabd" title.

Just because one issue is being addressed in the forums, doesn't mean they're not working on the others. Besides Gun Pierson cause he didn't do this, it's sad when people get over-dramatic with stuff by making assumptions and self-centered opinions that anything they don't like shouldn't be worked on in a game.

Probably one of those two ways.

Jesse · Nov 16, 2006, 12:43 AM // 00:43

i vote for because then i would have KoaBD and only need 3 more for People Know Me

Kook~NBK~ · Nov 16, 2006, 12:46 AM // 00:46

Anything is better than the way it is. Does dividing it up by campaign cheapen the KoaBD title? Yeah, a bit. BUT, with the release of every campaign it's cheapened a bit with more titles to go for. (4 maxable titles with Nightfall PvE alone!), so I don't think that that's much of an issue.

There should be a max level for each individual title track. Since the Protector and Cartographer titles have inherent maximums, they should be balanced, as far as difficulty goes, with the title tracks that have artifically (for lack of a better word) set maximums, such as the Drunkard title.

Capping the elites in Prophecies was somewhat tougher than in factions - it's that random spawn vs. set spawn thing that makes the difference. And I think that capping all the elites in Prophecies (almost the same difficulty in factions) was as much of a challenge as getting the Cartographer and Protector titles, so why shouldn't skill capping be given equal billing as those titles?

I'm all for adding higher level titles to the KoaBD / PKM, since with additional chapters, additional individual title tracks will come along naturally.

EDIT: I would have been happy if y'all left the max at 225 elites capped and not added on to it.

P.S. Thank's for listening, Gaile Gray!!!

kanaxais_scythe · Nov 16, 2006, 12:47 AM // 00:47

I think it should be left as it is. There is really no need to make the difficult to achive titles easier even if more ranks can be added. Plus, the title screen is already all chaotic with the new Nightfall ones. It needs organization before something like this could be added I think.

Count to Potato · Nov 16, 2006, 12:54 AM // 00:54

Its much better for people who don't have the other campaigns if you switch to the spiecifics

Phoenix Arrows · Nov 16, 2006, 01:03 AM // 01:03

Easier to get titles now ^^. I don't have enough time for them if it weren't that way.

Phantom Gun · Nov 16, 2006, 01:07 AM // 01:07

I vote in favor of the title change.

Terra Xin · Nov 16, 2006, 01:10 AM // 01:10

Asking directly what the players think now and then. Very commendable^^.

I will vote opposite of the PvE community since I have no clue what this title means nor do I care.

That could have easily been summed up to say... nothing...

Yeah sure, I'm all for change. Maybe I might actually take interest in it. And the more titles wont hurt^^.

Bo Azum · Nov 16, 2006, 01:14 AM // 01:14

Yes, I like this idea.

It's nice for people who don't have all the chapters, and an additional title for all that do, even nicer.

But,

Thanks.

Yes, this was the first thing to come in my mind, also, reading the OP. Will the elite count to where you captured it, or count to where it was first introduced? Not really a big issue though, just a matter of choice for the devs, I think.
