Default Title, Effects and more usage for Balthazar Points

The Balthazar Points are in the Moment a System which will come sooner or later to its Dead End. Why? Simple, because the moment will come, where you wil have unlocked everything for your account, and what will you do then with all ur Balthazar Points ?

Exactly, nothing, because there is then nothing anymore what you can do with your Points.


So why not give players something more for Balthazar Points?
Examples:


Title Name: Son/Daughter of Balthazar

1: Fighter > Used 10000 BP for Divine Medals
2: Experienced Fighter > Used 25000 BP f. dM
3: Strong Warrior > Used 45000 BP f. DM
4: Berserker > Used 70000 BP f. DM
5: Warmonger > Used 100000 BP f. DM
6: Army Leader > Used 135000 BP f. DM
7: Warlord > Used 175000 BP f. DM
8: Master of Battles > Used 220000 BP f. DM
9: Disciple of Balthazar > Used 270000 BP f. DM
10: Son/Daughter of Balthazar > Used 325000 BP f. DM

1 DM = 5000 BP

Divine Medals can be then exchanged for following things and are untradeable/unsellable/undropable.

1 DM = Must get to be able to activate your Balthazar Title

5 DMs =
Tome of Balthazar (will enable you to learn Balthazar PvE only Skills)
Tome of Grenth ...
Tome of Melandru ...
Tome of Dwayna ...
Tome of Lyssa ...
Tome of Abaddon ...
Tome of Kormir ...

10 DMs = (Temporal Character Buffs)

Proud of Melandru: Character has for 3 Days + 150 HP and negative Status Effects end 25% earlier. Negative Spirit Effects will effect only Enemies, not the own party too.

Proud of Lyssa: Character has for 3 Days + 15 Energy and + 1 Energy Regeneration

Proud of Dwayna: Character will for 3 Days heal themself with physical Attacks by 15% of their done Damage

Proud of Grenth: Character will get for 3 Days 5 Energy when he kills anything, Minions won't suffer on Life Dereg, and Ghosts become Poltergeister, which follow their Master.

Proud of Abaddon: Character will salvage for 3 Days for 100%, Lockpicks won't break and magnifying golden Items/opening Chests with Lockpicks will give tripple Points towards the titles

Proud of Kormir: Character will Attack 25% faster, use Skills 25% faster and Skills recharge 25% for 3 Days. Skills will also cost 25% lesser Energy.

Boots of the Messenger of Gods (PvE only: Character will Run for 10 Minutes for 100% faster, receive 25 Points Damage Reduction and get a Perma Life Regeneration of +10 so long they don't use any Attack Skills)

20 DMs =

25 DMs =

Balthazar's Armor
Grenth's Armor
Melandru's Armor
Lyssa's Armor
Abaddon's Armor
Dwayna's Armor
Kormir's Armor

Special Elite Armors with animated Effects (why should ever be only weapons animated -.-)

30 DMs =
Special Entry into your Hall of Monuments, giving you a golden Trophy into it, like such a Wold Cup Trophy with your name engraved on it and under the Name stands then an engraving
"You're a real God of War amongst Mortals", this Trophy will receive its own Place near the Entry

Pay again 30 and you get a 2nd Trophy for the other side with the engraving
"You're more then a Son/Daughter of Balthazar, you're blessed with his divine Soul"

50 DMs =
You get a Weapon/Shield/Focus Item of the Gods (All animated things)

For example:
Sword of Balthazar, Bow of Melandru, Scythe of Abaddon and so on

100 DMs =
A Statue like such a Statue of the Gods nearby Rezz Shrines of your Character will be placed into your Hall of Monuments, meaning your Character has become a God for all your Bravery and Heroism.
Character will also receive then the automatically maxed title
"God of Tyria"


hmm, sure some things maybe too strong, but I thought only on thiugns, that might be possible things as rewards and of thigns, ehich would be very nice rewards. But I think, something like this would keep people interested in collecting lots of Balthazar Points, once they have unlocked everything for PvP with them, i.E. (Skills, Heroes, Upgrades, Runes, Insignias, normal Weapons and the rarer ones and what you can all unlock with them)
But as said, one day the day will come whrere u have everything unlocked ..and then ? then would make playing PvP lesser fu, because U#ve nothing anymore then to use Balthazar Points for.

Something like my idea here would encourage players to play PvP surely to get those Divine Medals to get stuff for PvE or to receive somel little nice effects like an Emote or Full Body Auras, which will show then your "Strength" *g*

When those buffs are too strong, no problem ,make them a bit weaker or lower the duration, when you think, 3 Days are too long for a total spent of 50000 Balthazar Points for the 10 DM's


But now i want firts know, what people think of this here, and if they would like something similar like my idea here

What is the problem of it, otherwise doing PvE for PvP would be really worse, but doing PvP for PvE i think is not so worse.


God Weapons/armors woudl be nothing special or in any kind more powerfull, they would have only awesome unique Skins, more not, what doesn't mean that you can#t wear then still ur non elite max xxx Armor, if you like it more and be on same strength level as a player which would wear such a god armor/weapon then ...

Who would please complain about having to do PvP for receiving Minipets, Minipets are so or so only fun stuff, if you hunt for them now in PvE certain stuff to get such a Black Moa Chick, or if u hunt Balthazar points to trade them in for Divine Medals which you could then trade in for ur Minipet makes no difference. Same for Ranger Pets, if you make now a quest to be able to catch the black moa, or if you run into the Underworld and make there quests until you come to the Black Widdow, or if you hunt now BP for your ranger pet, makes no difference .... effort is effort, for something a bit more, for somethign a bit lesser, if you must make for ur stuff now PvE or PvP makes in the end no difference and the player has lots of ways to get on Balthazar Points. You play with your PvP Character, get the stuff, put the Medals into your chets,m give it your PvE charas and they can exchange then the stuff ..., but so have Balthazar Points more usage, then only for unlocking stuff for PvP, what is quite silly imo.

Why unlock with BP only Skills for Pvp, when you could also unlock with them PvE only skills, its all only a matter of how you look at the point, thats why i thought of the divine tomes.


The only thing that I could agree with you maybe are the temporal character buffs, but as said, when they are too imba, for someone, balance them more, lower duration or effects strength ...

The Hall of Monuments shows not only Stuff, that you made per PvE only, the Hall shows also Stuff from PvP like the PvP titles, which means, the HoM is for both gameplays, so should Balthazar Points be also imo ...

1 DM then 10000 Balthasar points instead of 5000 ?

What you mean exaclty by increasing requirements alot ?

i dont think that number of DM's should be increased, when also BP for 1 DM can be increased ...

Lol, we already have AB, enough. And when you are UAX, you buy tournament tokens or those, and neither you even need the faction, so what ever.

Yay, more titles, more grind, more PvE skills...

Too bad there's no content to go with it. I'm sure that Gates of Kryta is great with the godly skills.

Then the max title would probably be 100 million. Because titles are made in such a way, that hard-core pvpers can't max them in a year or two.
