I just noticed they changed the next title for it. Before, it was "Blessed by Fate" but now just "Golden". It also is only 1,000,000 wins instead of the huge 2,500,000. This also means that they'll probably be implementing this again sometime somehow, I think; why else would they update the title if not for that?
Also, am I the only one in the game with this title, Prosperous? I've never seen anyone else with it.

The fourth title for the unlucky line is still Tragic, at 50,000 losses. I presume the fifth, which we don't know what was before, is, too, lower than the presumed 500,000. I hope it is God of Jynx or something.

They said many parts of PvE Nightfall will include challenges in non-combat forms, puzzles etc, so perhpas they will then implement these puzzles in a "fun zone" also for tickets.

Nice Spot!

Yes, the change probably does mean they're getting ready for new events (perhaps holiday events will have such things?).

Yeah I noticed it too. Hopefully the future contests will not be same kind of money hogs though.

Glad they updated this title. I really hope they add a gambling/casino district to Guild Wars, where you can win loads of money or go broke. I don't think I've ever socialized more in the local channel in Guild Wars and met nicer people than I did during the Dragon Festival. Was fun to hear everyones strategy about winning in the ring games.

According to PC Gamer, there are fun games during the game in Nightfall. Perhaps they count towards this title.

Getting my lucky/unlucky title was a complete waste of 60k. Like hell I'm doing that again.

Nickhimself · Sep 17, 2006, 03:49 PM // 15:49

YAY!!!!!

I can't explain how annoyed I am that I see "1 game of chance won" and "1 game of chance lost" just sitting there near my other titles that i'm either trying to work on or somehow got a point for but CAN progress further if I wanted to.

I can't wait for stuff like this to be in Nightfall!

I heard arenanet was changing the names of the lucky and unlucky titles to

"I dont have any other titles so i display this meaningless title" title.

Favored title is way more style than the vast majority (in my opinion, I would only show Champion or KoaBD over it).

You wish.

P.S. I do too, but I'm not holding my breath. >_<

complete waste of time and gold imo

Bane of Worlds · Sep 19, 2006, 01:02 PM // 13:02

it's account-based so it's worth the money and time for others

If the gambling titles are reintroduced in the shape they existed during the Dragon Festival, they will be the easiest way to reach Kind of a Big Deal title because they are account based. The only reason I ever display my Favored title is because I never invested in titles for my secondary characters.

Sure, they are gold sinks, but so is everything else; the only shortcut they provide (again, if they are introduced unchanged from the Dragon Festival version) is that you can AFK at the games and cut out the "time sink" part of the title. In fact, this title is so monotonous it would be unbearable otherwise. Even as an aspiring Drunkard you can do something else - probably not well due to the effects, but still

Hurray, now I have something for my computer to do during football season.

Luckier than me...

I spent 60k and got Charmed. Not even enough loses for the loser title I orignally wanted.

Do you really know? As far as I know, noone has ever maxed an account based title, and I don't remember any official source telling that account based titles don't count towards Kind of a Big Deal/People Know Me..

Shyft the Pyro · Sep 19, 2006, 11:30 PM // 23:30

Why wouldn't it? Why would a title that behaves like all others suddenly stop to?

I've heard of (read on these very forums) people who have the highest level of faction point donation titles. Those titles are account based. If you don't think they count towards KoaBD, I suggest finding the people with those titles and asking whether their PvP characters have 1/5 of the KoaBD title.
