I agree ONLY if the Hero emotes are moved to that title.

All PvP events give Balthazar action, but only the Hero rank gives the emotes. The HoH is not the peak of the PvP, just another mode.

So the emotes should be given to all PvP players, and this would be a good way to do so.

Think about PvP players that don't specialize in one gameplay type - they may have very high experience, skill and knowledge of the game but have no really outstanding title. Those players may have more total faction gained than a Champ(6) or Hero(12), so *this* title would be a title they would display.

More options, more choices, another title that shows "I'm experienced at PvP", just in another way, would be great.

Another take would be a title connected with the Max Faction Cap but that would be cheezable by the stupid /roll Commander title.

And Hero emotes should stay as they are (obviously and for many reasons), another terrible idea Mithran...

WTF? No, really bad idea.

@ Luminarus, while doing AB, JQ, FA you also gain exp points and Balt faction, HFFF, you gain experience, plus PvE drops, none of these are solely focused on Lux/Kurz faction. As for questing, thre faction is a bonus, the quests are ment to move you through the story line.

I agree with Shiz, I could careless about it, I'm not a title hunter as far as maxing out all 150 or so of them goes. My 1 PvE char displays the 1 title I wanted from PvE, all my PvPs display the only title I want from PvP.

If you think this title is pointless, go look at the looooong list of PvE titles, I'm sure you can easily find a handfull.

My thoughts exactly. Whether they add this or not, I don't care.

Ummm... no, because you can gain Balth faction by farming PvE (Zaishen and - as some would argue - AB).

Neither does any other rank. Utter failure.

If this was implemented, zaishen and flames would obviously not count toward the title. Any moron with three seconds to think would figure this out for themselves.

HawkofStorms · Feb 27, 2008, 12:01 AM // 00:01

And even if flames DID count towards the title... big deal? Nobody is going to spend 1 million gold to buy enough flames for rank 1 of a title that you could just earn playing AB/RA every once in a while.

There is a 6k daily limit for that, they could also make the title ignore the points gained in there.

This title is completely different than a PvE title that would be based on total experience gained by a character. Completely different.
You can't farm obscenely huge amounts of faction by repeatedly grinding something easy over and over.

Buying a lot of Flames won't get you anywhere - Flames are rare, very limited, 1k flames are as rare as Sigils, Golden Flames (3k) cost 15 Reward Points, it's much easier to gain the faction by playing than getting those - easier to get +3k faction by just winning 1 GvG than getting 15rps, which are also very limited.

You have to be highly competetive and win a lot. Otherwise your faction gain will be significantly worse than the competetive players'.

This is not about PvE.
PvE only players should not reply in this thread as they often are completely clueless and this whole thing doesn't affect their game at all.

This title should have reasonable tiers of varying levels, and no max. Example:

Rank 1. = 100k faction
Rank 2. = 250k faction
Rank 3. = 500k faction
Rank 4. = 1M faction
Rank 5. = 1.5M faction
Rank 6. = 2M faction
Rank 7. = 3M faction
Rank 8. = 4M faction
Rank 9. = 6M faction
Rank 10. = 8M faction
Rank 11. = 10M faction (very few people got more than 10M)
Rank 12. = 15M faction
Rank 13. = 20M faction
Rank 14. = 30M faction (I don't think anybody has more than that at the moment)
Rank 15. = 50M faction
Rank 16. = 100M faction (nobody will ever get that much, even in 10 years)
Rank 17. = 200M faction
...
No Max.

*just a quick example, more serious thought required for final version*

Rank no max: Life is BS, Go play GW! WTF? 200mil faction lmao!

how many are pvp titles? :P 3?

Luminarus · Feb 29, 2008, 05:13 AM // 05:13

4 actually

6 If you count Luxon/Kurz as pvp titles. But if you're gonna say thats enough, compare the SIZE of pve with PVP.

5 Different styles of pvp (Arena, AB, HA, GVG, & HB), compared with the 3 campaigns, each with 13-25 missions, a bunch of explorable areas, elites to cap, Hard Mode etc. PVe Has way more OPTIONS in terms of locations & reasonable titles. PVP However, lacks in this way.

So its 4/6 titles are plenty compared with pve's 30+

Sir Pandra Pierva · Feb 29, 2008, 05:17 AM // 05:17

ok
here is something i like about it and it can be inplemented
remove faction gain from Elite and reg, and give a better premade build or bring back the old premades, then have faction only in RA and UP and AB. That gets rid of the key farmers as well as hitting the title farmers there.

As long as the Balth we've already earned is added to the new title.

Holly Herro · Feb 29, 2008, 12:55 PM // 12:55

Why does everyone get so upset about more titles?

"Omg, another few words that are just going to sit under my name, that will be extremely hard to get and take a long time and make me think my E-Peen is HUGE! I must have it! Oh, wait. I don't have ********* faction. IT'S FAIL I TELLS YA"

And no one's even maxed the hero title yet :S

I don't really care for a title like this. It's about as (put word here) as having a title for experience points, so..... eh.
