I don't know the exact levels at which to place the titles, but I have a good idea, I'll put in just random excerpts from different points in title tracks.

Casual Player - 100 hours
This would be cool..if there was more and more titles that go up like rank (1,2,3)

Seasoned Player - 1 million exp
I've always wanted this to be a title.

Paragon - 500 skills unlocked
This is kinda like elite skill title, but cool

Fodder - 1,000 deaths
Hmm, this would be too easy people would death level maybe... nah

Obsessive Collector - 500 of one type of monster "trophy"
What?

Massacre Creator - 1 million strong monsters slain
Hard..Vanquisher type?

Aggrivating Noob - 100 monsters aggroed
Yea...no

Tailor - Customized or crafted 50 items
This is easy as heck...no

Devoted - Spent 100 hours in an explorable area while not inactive
ANET kicks you off...

Caregiver - Has has a pet gain 10000 exp and not die
This seems cool..

Spawner - Created 1,000 spirits or minions
Nah.

Orderly - Maintained enchantments while not inactive for a total 100 hours
No..

In The Way - Interrupted 100 skills
People would just interupt and no skill int he build

Good Posture - Has been in stances for a total of 100 hours
No?

Luxurious - Has used 500 signets successfully
People would heal sig spam in an explore area..

Wow lots of flames on this page. However'
I have heard about lvl 99 or not cap for GW's 2. Why, to show your characters age. Gail talked about how cool it is for players to have the first christmas items to show off they have been around since the beginning. I do agree that it would be cool to show off some type of rank/hours or better yet what your lvl would be if you hadn't stopped at 20. Sorry it this was mentioned before but its late and i didn't want to read all the posts. But Anet let us show what lvl we would be without the 20 cap. I mean getting xp now is pointless. I have so many skill points they're coming outa my ears. However it would give me some motovation to lvl another lvl if i could show it.

Ama Seraphim · May 17, 2007, 08:16 PM // 20:16

on my guild forum we made our own titles.. more for just to poke fun at the survivor title.. but ours is for deaths.. Maybe we favor Grenth more and don't mind dying in the process of getting something done. As long as we have fun we don't really care.. (now that i'm off topic) Our titles just for the sake of fun are 0-50 greenback, 51-100 reaper bait, 101-500 dead man walking, 501-1000 Grenth Wannabe, 1001-5000 Death's Pawn, 5001 and up is Legendary Grandmaster of Darkbringer.. (lol a younger member thought that one up ;p)

/signed btw for any new titles that bring life back into the game

Aera Lure · May 17, 2007, 10:25 PM // 22:25

I'm all for new titles.

I'd like one for each of completing all quests on a continent and then one for completing all quests in total on all continents. Probably excludes Pre-Searing so an Ascended character can indeed still get them. Yes, you too can be like Sir Pellinore.

I'd also like Servant/Follower/Disciple/Defender of Lyssa/Grenth/Balthazar etc, simply for the name. What they do and/or what's done to get them - I dunno - I just thought of it while typing the above.

/signed because more titles would be fun. I do agree with some previous posts that a number of the original OP suggestions are far too easy to get.

Amon Warrior · May 18, 2007, 06:31 AM // 06:31

I'm all for new titles that actually make an impact on the way you play the game.

There's plenty for ego and prestige already.

More of Lightbringer's line, please.

bluedragon03177 · Jul 23, 2007, 04:10 PM // 16:10

I would like to see a title for getting protector, skill capper, gaurdian, grandmaster cartographer, and vanquisher on one continent, Legend of blank, perhaps, and then something for doing all 3, Legendary Legend or similar.

Agriel · Jul 23, 2007, 05:44 PM // 17:44

I would like to see some new titles.
These include:
An experience title (most experience)
Some kind of title for completing sidequests (quests that you do not HAVE to do for the main story line)

iamthescooter · Jul 23, 2007, 05:50 PM // 17:50

I agree with Aera Lure, if I could get a title for doing all of the quests in Tyria, I would finally have a reason to do the titan quests. I would like a title track that was like - You have blank hero(s) on level 20, you have blank more to go.

dsielschott · Jul 23, 2007, 07:52 PM // 19:52

for all of your talking about ease of gettin these titles or the fact that you can just buy them.......well think about it this way.

survivor--faction farming (very simple)
drunkard--takes time but rather easy if you think about it.....buy alcohol click a button every minute
wisdom--you can buy this title (very easy if you are rich)
all of your protector titles-- get runners (most of these missions can be run just have to find the right runner)
elite skill hunter-- again buy help (they kill everything u just cap, if your rich REAL easy again)
sunspear + lightbringer--takes time and could be hard but overall quicker than skill hunter title(and again if you are rich you can pay someone to kill things for you while you watch)

thing is im not saying all of these titles can work but I like the idea of having more to display.
I myself, show off my "skillz" title because you dont ever see anyone with that one. I like some of my others but everyone has them so I go with the one that not everyone has. Adding more titles would mix it up a ton and hopefully get rid of the redundency after every name.

I like the titles that have a LONG chain. This makes it easy to get at least r1 title but not to fullfilling to that person. Like with the Kurzick/Luxon titles 100k faction isnt really hard to donate but 12 million or whatever it is, is insane and that is a REAL title to be proud of. But the ones inbetween are for the causual gamers who really like just haveing that r2, r3, or r4 of a title because that is an accomplishment to them.

Those are my thoughts, and yes they are just opinions so feel free to pick at them but they are not final answers to any questions. Remember that they r just opinions.

Candra · Nov 05, 2008, 01:04 PM // 13:04

I suggested on another thread a new title associated with some Super Norn Tourney (an extension of the current version but with more challenging foes such as existing bosses and where a single build wouldn't forcibly beat all the possible opponents).

Here you'll have a title that could be indeed 'worthy' using a 1 vs 1 system (no runs possible and one wouldn't be able to buy it either).

SpiritThief · Nov 05, 2008, 02:04 PM // 14:04

The only thing I like is for skills unlocked.

That way it would give meaning to unlocking all the normal skills in the game.

rank should try to balanced so that you get a title for each character class you max. THo I think the numbers are way off in the case of the newer classes. But I'm sure it can't be too hard to figure out if they tryed.

Skills unlocked
/signed *really really like this and hope we get it*

Death count
/maybe

The Meth · Nov 05, 2008, 02:07 PM // 14:07

Giving a title for the norn battles is stupid. If one build couldn't beat the whole thing then whether you win or not would be based entirely on luck. Getting a title for being lucky enough to always be matched up against the right builds ftl.

Skills unlocked title wouldn't be a horrible idea, though its more of just a gold sink then anything since 90% of skills are either useless or outclassed by other skills. Makes more sense as a gold sink then sweet tooth and the other ones though, but kind of redundant with the elite skill title.

Well it wouldn't be based entirely on luck

. Some builds will be more consistent than others and the way you use them will make the difference between victory or loss. But imo it's more challenging if one single build isn't the perfect recipe to win.

We could also imagine a system of points that would encourage using various classes through this Super Tourney. For example it could work as bellow :

4 Super Norn Tourney points on the title track for winning 4 matches in a row using a particular class.
But then after a certain amount of points achieved with this class you'd only score 1 point for winning 4 matches in a row if you carry on using the same profession.
Obviously if you use another class you'd score 4 points for the winning streak until the same 'limitation' is reached and so on.

Of course that would make this title account wide and it's only an example

We have to admit luck is part of the game (max axes score base damage ranging from 6 to 28 and critical hits do exist for instance). Luck counts for some titles as well :

Gladiator in RA/TA (getting a 'good/bad' team / fighting a 'good/bad' team)
Treasure Hunter (chance to retain lockpicks)

PS : I'll also sign up for the "All Skills in the game" title.

This thread was bad when it was made years ago, and it is even worse now. Can a mod kill it and put us out of its misery?

Every single idea in the OP is a waste of time and energy. Would make the game go bad faster than it would take to get another QQ topic posted on Guru.

Candra · Nov 06, 2008, 02:08 PM // 14:08

I came up with a new title idea (yes I know again ...

) : A helper title. I've seen a lot of people complaining about others using more the Heroes/Henchies way than playing with humans ... Why not introduce a title for which you get points while helping other players with something you've already done on your character ?

Let's say for example you've already got Mission+Bonus at Nolani Academy but still you redid the mission to help someone else who actually 'needed' to get it done. That'd give you N points on the "helper" track and after a certain amount of points you'd get it maxed out eventually.

I know this Helper title wouldn't mean you're an altruist in the first place since it could be motivated purely by title mongering. So you might wanna call it something other than "Helper" or "Altruist". But this system may encourage people forming teams of humans rather than playing with H/H. Also you may meet people you find nice to play and chat with

.

... I dunno if it's easily doable or technically possible

Evil Neato · Nov 06, 2008, 02:20 PM // 14:20

Personally, I hate titles and think they're the worst thing ever added to the game...

BUT this would not negatively affect my gameplay whatsoever, nor do I believe it would imbalance the game. So, I'll say "why not?"

Running Elona Reach 1k each, pay before last crystal!
Running A Time For Heroes, resign if Deeds, 1k NM, 2k HM.

People who are already making money by performing runs would gain the title very easy. Wouldn't do much to encourage PUG play, it would encourage people to do runs or look for newbs in their guild.

True it would get a few points for mission rushers. But maybe the count system wouldn't implement new points if you do the same mission over and over (after a certain amount of points on the same mission --> 0 pt on the track).

There are aslo people who really like to help and they may 'benefit' from it if they want titles. And true it may encourage title seekers to help players that are new to the game and/or have lower level characters. Not so bad for cooperative play !
