there is already too many specific PvE skills that either are overpowered (ursan) or cheap knockoffs of skills that are already available.

besides the Kind of Big Deal title track is already linked with Hall of Monuments which could possible give you something really good/bad in Guild Wars 2.

When you switch the title on, instead of having the little icon describing your current title's effects like the rep title's (Edification, Stout-Hearted, Rebel Yell, etc...), you'd be under the effect of:

[Insert name of your current KoaBD level here]
"While displaying your KoaBD title, all your reputation based effects are currently active."

This would remove the hassle of swapping between each title to recieve each effect, and save people from accidently "forgetting" important titles, such as lb in RoT. This would in no way be over powered, as the effects would have very minimal overlap (norn+ebon could be useful for Blood Washes Blood, and deld+asuran could help someone attempting G.O.L.E.M., but none of these are game breaking) and would provide a handy feature to anyone willing to invest the day or two to hammer out atleast 5 max titles.

IMO, this would be the best possible reward for those attempting the KoaBD track as it's not imbalanced, provides no visual benefit over others (rank emotes), and is surprisingly useful.

.....

That's actually a pretty good idea. /signed for that

The majority of the people with "god walking amoungst mere mortals" are arrogant enough already.

Please don't make their heads explode.

Absolutely /notsigned for any additional in-game advantage - this game is already broken like a very broken thing, please stop suggesting ways to break it some more.

/signed for some visual cue like rank emote, Divine Aura or profession independent new dance to display GWAMM while using some other title.

Hall of Monuments.

Once u get 30 maxxed skills you wont need this shit, lol.

I D E L E T E D I · Apr 21, 2008, 09:03 AM // 09:03

I propose that after we get the 30 Titles, we get a nice little bit of writing under our name that tells other people of our achievment

Alright guys,

Thanks for completely slating my idea but still, you must admit that players who earn the koabd titles do deserve more than just a title and an oversized parrot.

I think Chronos' idea about the toggle on/off "aura" is awesome and who ever mentioned emotes, i agree with that.

I admit that adding more PVE only skills may meet some oppostion but surely something must be done!!

Please continue to discuss

/notsigned. You are only required to grind in GW twice in order to advance the plot, once in Factions, and once in Nightfall. Choosing to playgrind is your choice, asking anet to venerate your particular choice of gaming is a moot point. If anything, I support the addition of even more titles, that way you who do choose to be play grinders are kept on your toes for that always out of reach title.

**Marty Silverblade** · Apr 21, 2008, 09:19 AM // 09:19

R6 gets you an aura and makes your name+title appear in gold instead of blue (my idea). Any bonuses are retarded for obvious reasons.

Div · Apr 21, 2008, 09:25 AM // 09:25

Should just give me a pink trim for getting r6 koabd.

No, I don't. They deserve nothing more.

PvE titles have already beneficts. Treasure Hunter, Lucky, Savior of your Retarded Faction, etc etc...

Titles = epeen. And nothing else. That's the only reason there were introduced.

You're missing a vital element of what made Guild Wars different from other MMOs. This suggestion proves it.

Please go away now.

You should get a "special* scroll to the under world. 1 per toon. It should take you straight to a cut scene in Grenth's throne room. There should be a rez shrine, Grenth should be a friend so ya can't attack him. He kills you over and over while pointing and laughing until you resign or get errored out of the game.
While saying " ... and they call him a god."

Graphik Desine · Apr 21, 2008, 05:07 PM // 17:07

hmmm, oddly enough double d., i actually do agree with you. and hope you haven't taken most of these replies seriously ^^

however, there are tons of jealous people out there who don't want to work for this title and they will whine about it till they are blue in the face (especially in guru forums)~because they want everything to be equal to their level, which is basically sit and do nothing and get something for it, like don't play characters or don't even log into their account for several months so they get tons of minipets. and might i add on several upon several accounts...or explain to everyone how little they play because of real life issues like work, school, and drama. but still the ones that achieved great titles (whether that was/will be by SKILL or TIME (both are necessary to complete the title)) should not be affected by those who rarely ever play.

but hardcore players want to exceed the sit-and-do-nothing level~for themselves~and upon completion of NOT sitting and wallowing, they should be rewarded for what they have done (even if [whatever the "reward" is] most likely won't carry over into gw2).

okay, we get a rainbow phoenix. but that really only benefits rangers...and most other classes don't play secondary ranger just to display a big huge bird because our builds require other secondaries (duh). even if it goes in the HoM, it is still only a statue at this time :O and depending on the player, the statue gets covered up by other statues!

id say some things to start with would be~
a. minipet of yourself
b. godly type aura (or even funnier, kind of brightly outlined as if player was a boss monster)
c. both a & b. (and possibly all of the above had there been more ideas coming from me)

but not game skills...think about how often those would actually be useful...

heh damage reduction by 80% sounds hilarious, obviously not intended for pvp.

armor would be interesting, maybe ethereal armor

something to that effect. something else to work for possibly? what else is there to do in gw1 after the HoM is complete? something to think about, right? keep players in the game (who have completed this title early) to work for something else, after all it IS an option...not necessary...

if anything is added to the game, it should be added to existing AND future gods, not just anyone who achieves it after a certain point (the title is hard enough to get as is, especially saving up enough money for it is).

my explanation for my choices:

*there are already minipets that are too expensive for a huge majority of the game's players to afford, even for those with god status! and dedicated too! why not a mini of myself? o______________o it would be funny! a mini me. i happen to think minipets are cute and i really don't care what others' foul opinions on pets are. if i like them, that is what matters to me

*auras would be nice if you want to display another title. but something a little more on the subtle end might work...i dunno i think setting a player on fire is a little loud and meaningless to the "god" name

but possibly choose among several types? and add the option of putting it somewhere on your body to activate it? so it is not ALWAYS active?

just brainstorming, but i think it would be a bit entertaining for those with the title.

and by the way, i really do not care for posts opposing my idea, as i am supporting double d.'s thread~i stand firm with my ideas and his/hers and no jealous player(s) will make me think otherwise.

Sol Deathgard · Apr 21, 2008, 05:31 PM // 17:31

My Guild Hall Smells of Rich Mohogany atm (26 maxed titles) & I felt I was rewarded pretty well just playing the game to max those titles. I don't need anything else.

Jetdoc · Apr 21, 2008, 05:37 PM // 17:37

Holy Lord, a bit /not signed on this one.

I'm all for giving the God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals some special emote (like the PvP emotes), but having an in game advantage for a title for which 50% can be bought is a bad idea.
