Any title, PvP or PvE or both. Also tell us why!

I am most impressed by Survivor 3 in PvE, because it is rare and is the only title you can fail. It seems the least grind based title and shows you accomplished a lot of play without making a mistake. I've only seen like 4 people with this title.

In PvP, I am most impressed by very high gladiator (like glad 5). It shows you are astonishingly active (as each glad point takes ~an hour) and is based on your skill to get 10 wins, more so than just winning games on a high ranked guild and/or farming fame for months on end.

Gladiator titles and the Friend of Lux/Kurz just because they have transferred faction instead of buy amber/jade with it

PVE id say lvl 2 kind of a big deal, cuz thats hardcore, 100% map for 3 maps, 3 prot of xxx, lvl 2 drunk, lvl 3 survivor, max luck or not lucky, etc etc. Now tahts hardcore.

PVP i would say either lvl 3+ champion or r12+. Those means u have should have major skills, esp the champion cuz it means ur in a top 100 guild and gvg alot. gladiator isnt taht special cuz all that means is u got lucky and got monks in ur ra team.

I despise the Survivor title because basically the only way to get it was to make a new character, but I had to much time invested in my current characters to do that :/.

hmm.... the survivor title, for those that worked for it - meaning played the game. Easier to get than I would have thought if you use a lot of scrolls solo farming something relatively safe.
And getting to lvl 1 is very easy if you start a factions char.

Protector titles for sure, though factions has less missions it takes multiple tries on some (Vizunah(sp) Square comes to mind.

The Cartogrpher titles, a lot of work to get those- I know as I have both Tyria and Cantha.

I mostly pve, so those are the ones I notice.

Survival title pfft, i'm guessing 9 out of 10 get leveled, get run through missions, or are mission quiters.---> All three combined! Hired a run to droks bought armor hired a leveling service. Finally when you arived at level 20 you went and picked on level 10 monsters for more Exp points & mission/bonus Exp points. I am impressed with the skill involved in that title. NOT!
Now I'm stuck with a worthless pug who cant play his char skills in an elite mission.

I'm actually less impressed by some titles at a high rank than I would be at their baseline stat.

For instance, Gladiator (1) shows some tenacity and that you can cope under pressure. Cool! But Gladiator (3) hints very strongly that you've been "farming" RA (which usually consists of quitting every team you join right at the start of the round unless you get a class mix you like), which suggests you might be a jerk.

Survivor (1) is all very well... But Survivor (3)? Odds are that came from some troll farming.

The single biggest alarm bell, though, comes from the Protector of [the continent you're currently playing] in mission areas. You know for a fact that this guy's already finished the mission, so why is he there? There's four possible reasons, only one of which involves him playing properly with your group if he joins: helping a guildmate (good - and you can easily check this by looking at guild tags), mapping (bad), chest runs (plusbad), and skill capping (doubleplusbad).

Incorrigible ale hound of course..

no, but for real.. i personally like the skill hunting titles, as i myself am just about an adept skill hunter; will be goin for advanced skill hunter after that. It isn't a title u can just pay loads of money and get easily. It helps u in all aspects, from mapping for ur cartographer titles, getting all the elites for pvp usage, and just fun. I always love gettin that 5k xp from capping an elite, and then seeing that little "you have unlocked" box.

after that, id go w/ champion or gladiator, then cartographer.

Dr Strangelove · Oct 02, 2006, 04:08 AM // 04:08

Gladiator and Skill Hunter 3 are pretty awesome, as is champion. Gladiator is more difficult to farm than the HA titles IMO and generally represents a player who makes his or her own builds. Skill hunter requires piles of money to be grinded for, piles of xp to be farmed, and a little bit of old-fashioned know-how to find and succesfully cap bosses. Champion is quite rare and takes quite a bit of work to get.

As for those least impressive:

The cartographer titles should be renamed the wall-hugging titles. It's a little more impressive to see it on a non-normal running class, like a necro or a mesmer, but otherwise, meh.

Survivors, for the most part, have either henched their way slowly through the game, or held one finger over the f12 button while playing with parties. At any rate, meh.

As a final note, most people with the drunkard title will be fun to play with, if nothing else.

Griff Mon · Oct 02, 2006, 04:24 AM // 04:24

Drunkard Title. Have you ever tried playing the game when drunk? Your other option is to stand around and keep using up ale saying silly things while you look at a blurry screen.

But seriously, I used to be impressed with the Protector Title, it seems like everyone has it. I have never seen anyone with "Kind of A Big Deal" title yet, and only once have a seen a "Legendary Survivor". I think the rarity of the title seems to be a big part of it getting respect.

Guardian of the Light · Oct 02, 2006, 04:27 AM // 04:27

Highest Champion.

The only true title of skill.

9/10, try 3/10, some of us actually really try to get that title, I went through every mission to get that title, and it was pretty dang hard. You need to also take into account that getting lvled to 20 at droks is impossible without dying, due to the fact that you die on the droks run, at Dreadnaught's Drift.

Total Rogue · Oct 02, 2006, 04:36 AM // 04:36

I am impressed by survivor tier 3 as it actually requires work and some skill to attain. Grandmaster cartographer is also alot of work (i have both) and i respect it.

Skill Hunter is something else that is kinda shocking (and nice!) to see.

Kai Nui · Oct 02, 2006, 04:54 AM // 04:54

Champion is really the only title that amazes me, everything else seems kind of piddily, and I have a lot of them too (180 skills, 200% map, 38/38 missions to name a few.)

Sephiroth Istari · Oct 02, 2006, 04:54 AM // 04:54

People Know Me cuz thats like 10 max titles

nkari · Oct 02, 2006, 05:13 AM // 05:13

I'm much more impressed by a rank 2 survivor title than a rank 3. Reasoning being that I feel that if a person has rank two and playing around in a pve enviornment they probably have earned it. I don't believe that anyone with rank 3 of the survivor title has earned it themselves. They've just tagged along with people who have powerleveled them.

Hopefully this one will exist, but may not be obtainable until ch4..

Either way, first person to get it will be my hero.
