Default Should all titles be acc based?

Being hom acc based, is there really a point not to have all titles acc based aswell?

I would be much more pleasant to go after titles if we could change chars from time to time, like te pvp titles. I cant really see a reason to not have it.

personally i would hate this.

My main character has most of the character titles complete now, if that was account wide then what would i have to motivate me to keep playing my new characters? I personally like the drive and targets that getting a lot of the character titles again provides.

Doesn't really make sense for some titles like cartographer. If it's reasonable, then I don't really have anything against account-wise titles, but I don't want every single title to be like that.

Who earned the titles? The account owner or the character to whom the titles are attributed?

Exactly. Nothing wrong with account wide titles.

Can't you just imagine that your grandmaster cartographer character created a map for everyone of your characters?

Umm, not all titles, no.

But all the reputation titles and sweet tooth/party/drunkard should be account based.

easily solved: A zone only becomes uncovered when you're characters enters it for the first time.

While I do think that ALL titles would be a bit much, just the reputation titles would make me very happy (no more grind)
To prevent abuse, just give them some minimum requirements (like reaching lvl 20 first and reaching the 1st...3rd rank (depending on the title) before you have it's full benefit)

Consumable titles would be nice to, btw

The account owner on the character to whom the titles are attributed.

Seriously, a Dervish with Legendary Defender of Ascalon?

An Assassin that has never been in Nightfall with the Legendary Elonian Cartographer title?

A level 1 Necromancer in Pre-Searing with Elite Skill Hunter?

I think you catch my drift. Not signed for me.

I like this idea. Would make grinding titles less repetitive.Title based skills would at max on all characters would be splendid, though kind of cheap.

Carto would be little awkward when making a new character with nothing explored.

Depends on the title. If Rep/Party/anything reasonable then yes. I believe it would be a little cheating on the EotN rep because you need atleast r5 to make the armor. Keg farm on a sin, and it completely defeats the purpose. It's more like..."earn our respect to get benefits" kinda thing.

There are only a few that are not account wide that I still think should be (mostly the sweet tooth/drunkard/party animal), but since many people have already gotten those titles on multiple characters, it would be kinda unfair to them (imagine spending money and getting max sweet tooth on 4 characters only to have the title merged and now having 4 times overkill on the title, "wasting" money you could have spent elsewhere).

Yeah, vanquishing the whole game on my Ranger makes me a pretty good Monk in PvE, doesn't it?

/notsigned. Some titles ought to be moved to being account based, yes, but not all of them.

Not all titles, no. If nothing else, the guardian and vanquisher titles should remain character based. You should have to run each character through each game in order to reach the end, so you can't credit a character with doing missions if they have to do them again. And the vanquisher one would have to credit characters for completing areas they haven't reached yet. The rest of them? I could see the argument for it, but they won't change that.

I think it's fine the way it is. And Linsey has stated that things aren't likely to change:

No. I have already evaluated the titles in the game when developing the big title update in November 2008 and I have decided that there aren't any reasons compelling enough to warrant additional titles being made account wide.

A few more titles need to be shoved over to account based (sweet tooth, drunk), as they should have been that way to begin with. I really don't get why the gw team insists on keeping them as they are now.

So i am guessing you never pvp with new chars cause you cant start title over?

This one doesnt even make sense.

No one complained about that when wisdom and treasure hunter were made acc based. If someone did that, well thats too bad cause hom will only register one anyways.

A character level 1 can already show high ranking of hero, champion, and all the other acc based ones. Again, i feel the titles are a player accomplishment, not especific character. Thats why hom isnt character based.


Again, seeing as to hom it makes no difference, why cant we have all characters being able to work towards the same title? Would be much more pleasant not being stuck with a single one.

ANet has already killed this idea. And it's been suggested before. Please search before posting a new thread to make sure it hasn't been brought up in the past. Thanks.
