Default Proposed New Title Track

Guys,

I want to make a game improvement suggestion.

Myself and other players who have very high BF totals but do not play HA (we GVG) feel really unrewarded and unrecognised. HA players get emotes for fame farming. And Zaishen Title Track is dominated by rich PvE players who buy Z-Keys.

In my case I have over 3Million Balthazar faction on my account - mostly from GVG and some from arenas (just glad3). But I have no way like the HA guys do of demonstrating my experience.

Suggestion

Please can you set up a BF emote for acquiring 1Million, 2 Million, 3Million etc BF? Maybe The BF Millionaire Title Track?

What would be cool as well is different armour/weapon skins for PvP characters as they reach each million of BF.

Guilds that have majority Millionaire Title Track members could also have a special design cape - maybe a diamond cape.

Z-Keys are ok but because they can be physically bought and sold, they don't mean much in terms of PvP experience.

Just a suggestion but I think this balances out the HA emotes and z-keys. I'm just suggesting a Millionaire Title Track for BF to run alongside all existing tracks.

What do you think?

I think that for long term players who have committed to GW but don't do HA this is a fair reward for their loyalty, persistence and commitment to the game over a long period of time.

HA = fame
Random PvP/$$$ = Zaishen
GvG = Champion

i dont see the problem.

and armor/skins/cape designs given to only pvp players is an awful idea. think of all the QQing.

Isn't playing a game with no monthly fee reward enough?

I hear what you say but if you read my thread I'm talking about loyal, active GvG'ers who don't HA (cos they can't get in a decent team cos they have no Hero title) but who might not be in Guilds that earn champ points. Zaishen is just a pve title cos its a title that can be purchased by buying z-keys.

So my suggestion relates to people like myself who are probably cannon fodder for Champ Guilds lol but have ramped up more BF than most. I think my suggestion just balances things out and rewards the majority of hardworking, loyal pvp players who don't get to wear gold capes.

Get some kind of reward (whatever that might be) for each 1 Million BF earnt. It isn't a big ask and it would make PvP grunts like me happier...

wanna buy a z-key?

If you're so good at getting high amounts of Balth faction, go ahead and get your Z-keys for the Z-chest title/emote.
Anet should have made the zaishen title track total BF based to begin with, but it's too late to change that now, and there's no sense in crying over spilt milk.

If the title will enrich your playing experience than you can have it, but it seems incredibly uncalled for. For me at least.

I shudder to the thought of posting in a thread that's two-and-a-half months dead, even though it seems somewhat discussed.

Don't gvg guilds get gold/silver trimmed capes for winning? IMHO that's their reward. Granted, not as cool or permanent as an emote, but that's what they get.

Your right it was about the OP Q_Q because he feels under appreciated for playing a GAME.

Yes because every casual or even moderately competitive GvG guild can make top 3 in MAT's...

Should be getting rid of titles if you want to fix the game, not adding them.

Zaishen is NOT a PvE title. Have you calculated how much money it costs to get to an appreciable rank, buying keys at 5k per? R3 is 1 million, R7 is 7.75 million, max rank is 100 million. It's completely out of the range of possibility to buy that title. Furthermore, even if you HAD that much money, you'd need to find people selling that many keys, and (if a glance at Temple of Balth is any indication) that's not exactly an easy task.

The Zaishen title is a Balthazar faction / tourney reward points title, with the added benefit of allowing you to supplement your key income with purchased keys. For the really rich PvE-ers, that means they can get a low-level emote, but anything beyond R7 or 8 is so absurdly expensive that calling it a "PvE title" is ridiculous.

Guilds that are good already get a special cape design.

And I suppose that 100 Million Faction, or 100k Tournament Reward Points is more feasible?

You can't just label the title as a PvP title on the grounds that you can't buy it with money. I doubt that there's one person on GW that even has 100 Million Faction earned on their account.

just another thread about anets most retardedst new title that should have never been implemented to the game in this nonsense form, like anet typically did.

There are tons of better titles they could have added and what does retard net take ? naturally the best grind shit they could give us -.- that destroys only more the games economy...


gg anet, you become with every shit you implement atm only better at failing


- Questing Achievement Titles
- White Mantle/ Shining Blade(Rebels) Reputition Titles for Proph
- Collector Title (for collecting Green Items) (must have been only once in your inventory)

und such stuff would have been much better, than to add just another retarded grind title, that is mostly impossible to max -.- unless you want to grind for it liek 10 years or so

LMAO!! WTF?

Yeah, the ZKey title is fail and a Balt Fation title SHOULD have been implemeted and if they felt the need to add an emote to PvE it SHOULD have been for the KoaBD title track.

OP you "rewards" are a bad idea, you already get armor unlocks with Reward Points, you already get cape trim from GvG MaT's, if you want a PvP emote got HA, yeah you say you don't like but too bad, that's where the PvP emote has always been.

How many times? IF THE IDEA HAS NOT BEEN IMPLEMENTED THE THREAD IS STILL VALID.
