They have drunkard timers for download, just not a mod for the game, its separate, window GW and put the timer next to it, they also have one with an alarm...i would try and find them for you but i am unsure of weather they are "legal or illegal" in game

They also have a drunk bot but im about 80% sure that ones not allowed and will probably end in a ban :/

Either way just look around and you'll find one...if not you can just set up something to set an alarm off every 3 minutes or something.

dont see much point in changing the title much but they really should have a drunk icon/timer so you can tell if your drunk or not.

I play fairly often on my old lappy and cant tell without watching the title track if im actually drunk on not. gogogadget onboard graphics chip

Don't really care about the added points but the icons a good idea. As for all the people saying that you should keep the hero panel open and not doing that is lazy or making the title easier, there's a difference between convenience and being lazy. Look at how they changed the wisdom title. You could always just put unids into xunlai and switch characters and then id them with your title char, that wasn't hard but was a waste of time and took you from actually playing the game. Same with this. You say just do it while playing? Well, wouldn't having an easy to read icon let you do the title while playing better than blocking of part of your screen with the hero panel or keeping an egg timer around to remind you when to drink?

headlesshobbs · Mar 03, 2010, 06:50 PM // 18:50

Drunk needs a timer just like every other skill enchant or hex on you. I'm getting a little sick of putting all the guesswork into this.

...everyone keeps suggesting a change to drunkard...and everyone who dosen't is opposed to the idea from the looks of it

just leave britn...err...the poor title alone...

MithranArkanere · Mar 08, 2010, 04:16 PM // 16:16

All I want for it is to remove its game-braking design.

You have to stop and drink way too often while playing.
You should, at least, be able to drink 20 beers and be drunk 15 minutes, and drink again after that.
3 minutes is way to short time.

Effect icons would be nice too. Not everyone can activate the Post-processing efects.

Luminarus · Mar 09, 2010, 03:30 AM // 03:30

The level 5 alcohols are on the same lines as the 3 point sugars, they earn u three points. Then just use a lvl 1 every minute, and problem solved.

MithranArkanere · Mar 09, 2010, 02:20 PM // 14:20

Tell that to someone with a 800x600 screen.

Not everyone can have the inventory open all the time while they play, and you can't expect people getting the title only while idle in outposts.

srsly, this is the easiest title in the game (aside from sweets/party). Lucky, Treasure, and wisdom are MUCH more time consuming and expensive. not to mention you generally have to go out of your way to farm them.

/signed for some sort of change

Sadly I wish I would have had booze when I was vqing and the like...now my title char is done with most things and idling in GH or wherever is annoying. XD But I'm working on it none the less.

all done on my main char and no way i'm gonna alttab gw every 3 mins for 130+h.

Make it like sweet & party and gg

AcidDaze · Jun 08, 2010, 10:35 AM // 10:35

as with most people,
/signed, for icon saying your level of drunk and duration til next level of drunk

/notsigned for the rest, love the idea about having to concentrate while drunk

)i.e. if you don't keep an eye on it you waste stuff)

@ those poeple who say a timer is not needed, did the huge title window not waste valuble screen space? or are you just rich kids that have huge 30inch screens? I know from experience that even with the interface on small, a 17'' screen needs all the space it can get.

really hope the devs are thinking about implementing the icon thing.

ChromisElda · Jun 08, 2010, 11:48 AM // 11:48

/notsigned for timer. I can understand why it would be more realistic without - you don't get a timer in real life when you're drunk do you? You just realise that you're no longer drunk. It NEEDS guesswork to be closer to real life.

However, I do think they could have a little bit of text saying "you are no longer drunk" just like emote text when you drop below 3 minutes.

Also, to the OP: how inefficiently do you drink?! Drink a 5 point alcohol, and every 2 minutes top it up with 2 more 1-minute drinks. At that rate if you manage to get 500 points of drunk in a sitting, only 3 get wasted.

Anet does an update where all levels of drunkenness count. That means even just drinking a 1 point alcohol will give you 1 point, whereas now, you have to drink three 1 point alcohols to get 1 point towards Drunkard. In addition, being drunk displays an effect icon, so that you can see that you are drunk, and you can see when the effect wears off (and the effect shows when it will end).

This i agree with 100%. The level of the alcohol should match the points you receive. I also think a icon would be nice so you know when the alcohol is going to wear off or if it has in fact been triggered. This would be great when using level 1 alcohol.

They could then use that alcohol for other characters, or if they are done with the Drunkard title, sell the alcohol. Also, perhaps increase the max number of alcohols you can consume and still get points to say 10 or even higher, (say 30 so you could stay drunk for 30 minutes, like other consumables).

Giving away alcohol to people who have already maxed drunkard is a nice idea but not a good one. There are many instances in the game where something has changed and a title was affected and nobody was compensated. Giving free points also falls into that category of being a nice idea but a bad one.

/signed for making level of alcohol match points received and an icon to notify that u are under the effect of alcohol.

/unsigned for the reparations suggested.

Shriketalon · Jun 08, 2010, 06:42 PM // 18:42

May I present a slight alteration to your suggestion?

-Keep the 1 point for every minute plan and the icon.

-Increase the Inebriation Cap to 15 minutes.

-Change all 5 minute alcohol to last 3 minutes, the exact number of points they currently provide to the title.

This will prevent any need for point adjustment, because all alcohol will be worth exactly what it was worth before the change. The increased cap means there is less annoyance, because you can put down the game for a quarter of an hour while your character staggers around tipsy, or you can play while chugging booze every minute to keep up your buzz, thus making both styles of getting drunkard viable.
