The drunkard title needs to be changed in my opinion. The sweet tooth title is hard because of the need to collect the sweets. That should be the hard part in the drunkard title too. The drunkard title is hard to obtain due to the enormous amounts of time spent drinking. If you would like to see the drunkard title changed to alchohol consumed instead of time spent drunk sign this thread please.

that is the purpose otherwise it is simply how fast i can click.

take the time to get it or forget it

i got mine you get yours lazy

otherwise you are simply buying the title

KamikazeChicken · Aug 14, 2007, 11:23 PM // 23:23

You're buying the title anyway. Why not give people an easy way to obtain it, since they can't simply zone as easily as before.

I see a lot more people going for Sweet Tooth than drunkard because all it takes is a little clicking. >.>

I'll go for the change. Othersie it makes some people use bot-like macros to make this automatically anyways.

Although I still think it's more important to give drunkard efect icons like sweet rushes have.

Why not... i zoned my Ale Hound title during the last Wintersday and they supposadly 'fixed' zoning.

I think this idea is lame, you don't see that many Drunkards running around which is what makes the title fun to have. I got drunkard without zoning or using a macro, I got it the legit way and it was a pain but it was worth it. So if you really want the title suck it up and get it. Doesn't make sense imo to just count how many drinks you've had. Too many people can max out the sweet tooth title by just buying sweets and clicking. The drunkard title is fine how it is, it doesn't need to be like the sweet tooth title.

Even though I don't have the title, I don't think the Drunkard title track should be simply turned into Sweet Tooth title track II.
It would simply remove that what makes it the Drunkard title track, i.e. being drunk often.

I'd rather give my vote to this.

jhu · Aug 15, 2007, 05:40 AM // 05:40

i got incorrigible ale hound, and let me tell you it was a complete waste of my time. a change to just clicking would have been quite preferable.

Well... some GW:EN PvE skills give reasons for for going drunk all over the place...

Reptile · Aug 15, 2007, 02:43 PM // 14:43

I think I should get a title for being a Tea-totaler for the over two years he's been alive! lol.. resisted the 'easy' (compared to some) title for my Rank 3 maxed....

Its been a "family" thing to sit on the computer and try to count the mins while doing the drunk title.... PLease making this a little easyer

/notsigned, sorry but its just meant to be the way it is.

However totally /signed the part that u need the icon that tells you how long you are still drunk. it would also let you know if you are drunk or not, that made me angry, when i never knew if i should drink another o not

.
i remember i thought of this before a while back but later completelly forgot about it. thanks to whoever brought it up!!

I don't like the OP's idea, at all. Even if it would make it easier for me to get from Drunkard to Incorrigible Ale Hound, Drunk title track is not Sweet Tooth. I would like a small change to make it easier to track, though.

Drunkard became more difficult when they changed how titles are displayed in the hero window. Now, I have to scroll past every title that has more than one rank just to see the number of minutes. Every time it adds another minute, I can then consume more booze. I realize there is a visual effect when drunk, and it is definitely noticeable, but I have to turn off Post-process while drinking, or it makes me ill.

I would really appeciate an icon on the effects monitor, preferrably with either 3 or 5 levels, or changes. Actually, they could use the "adrenaline" effect on the icon to show how "drunk" you are, that could be neat.

I worked to get my Drunkard (none of that cheap zoning crap) so you should too! When someone compliments me on the title it makes me feel good because not everyone has it and it's a title that you actually have to work for.

what u really want is the little bar beneath the effect. just like with the enchantments and shouts and so on...

A duration bar would be nice, sure, but I would like an icon with a visual change every minute, be it a "flash," or a change to another icon depending on level.
That's why I suggested an "adrenaline" icon, since those increase in level already, and would hopefully require less work to code.

Probably a combination of both would be ideal, it could display on your screen once you reach "level" 3 intoxicated, with a 1-minute duration bar, and one "strike" of intoxication, represented by the adrenaline graphic on the icon. Then, every subsequent ale adds another minute to the duration bar, and a further "strike" to the icon, so that it is fully lit at level 5 intoxication.

Honestly, though, I would be happy with any icon, I'm just throwing out ideas on how one could be implemented, as there is no real explanation in-game on how the drunkard effect works.

Granted, your screen blurs worse every level, but I have to turn that effect off, as it really does make me sick.

jrk247 · Aug 16, 2007, 09:20 AM // 09:20

I think it'd be better if they give you a effect icon at the top of the screen (like with tonics) as soon as you reach level 3 drunk, and it adds 2 more icons when you get to level 5 and they go away after a minute.

So let's say I use a Spiked Nog, I have the lev 3 lev 4 lev 5 drunk icons on the top of the screen, then a minute goes by and the level 5 icon goes away and so on. It would be easier to keep track and if you slack off by a minute or 2 and still have level 3 you can just drink some more so you don't have to restart.

I have my drunkard title got it a little under a year ago and I have no plans on going for Ale Hound but I still think the icon idea would be nice. Just clicking the booze and getting points is lame, it's the amount of time you are drunk not the amount of drinks.

It's a pretty bad idea to piss off everyone who has spent 10000 minutes getting the title because they could have eventually waited to do it in far less time. 170 hours of watching and waiting as opposed to 10 minutes of button clicking is a big difference.

Shadowmoon · Aug 16, 2007, 05:06 PM // 17:06

and how many people did it legit may i ask. If you don't remember the zoning trick was around for a while, also drunkard bots exist. I'm glad u feel proud of a "money sink" title, but i think a method like sweettooth would be better, or reintroduce the zoning bug which everyone i know who has the title used.

Like I said in my previous post, I'm one of those people who got my Drunkard title the legit way. If they made the title like the sweet tooth then that would make it another easily and pointless title to get since all you have to do is keep clicking for Sweet Tooth. The drunk title is fine the way it is, if you don't want to take your time to work for it then don't even bother trying because no one is forcing you but if you want it then you better get working on it and quit complaining about how long it takes to get it.
