Curse

I think this was posted before but i really would like it if they programmed like a badge of honour on your name if you have ascended. That way we can group with those people (since there's a larger chance they will work well with a team) for the harder levels after instead of someone who just took a shortcut to get there. I know some people pay to do ascension runs but hopefully it's not to many but at least you'll know there's a big chance that person would work well especially the harder missions when you don't want another 10 year old with an attitude and gives grief to the group. what do you guys think?

well..first of all ascending really isn't that hard, so you will still get all the immature kids who dont know how to work with a team, and IMO it's sad when you have to have a tag to find someone nice...everyone in the game should treat eachother fairly and be a teamplayer...but alas that is a gaming world that will never exist.

it is also another way of saying if i cant have a higher level number to show off give me something else so i can prove i am better than someone without it

Iteicea Destroidium · Jul 03, 2005, 08:57 PM // 20:57

exactly, people will treat it as a rank, and lord it over poor new people to the game...(I hate the term "noob")

Would be nice to have some kind of marker to say you got something in the game no one else has

A small star next to the LvL 20 ???/??? would be nice... something like this:

* Lvl 20 Elem/Mo

Iteicea Destroidium · Jul 03, 2005, 09:00 PM // 21:00

That is still saying that you have a "l337" type of attitude, if your level 20, it shows you as level 20, and that is all we need

squakMix · Jul 03, 2005, 09:03 PM // 21:03

yea, but level 20s that have ascended tend fight and play differently than those who haven't; Ascension doesn't do anything except progress you through the story; you don't feel special after doing it.

I think something (maybe your appearence) should change; ascended characters tend to be alot more "elite" than the ones who haven't (attribute point-wise and play style-wise).

clarkflavour · Jul 03, 2005, 09:06 PM // 21:06

Word to that!

i think Anet is trying to cut the i am elite you noob crap by letting the ordinary level 20 look just like the super elitist who is steaming that they cant PROVE thay are superior

RTSFirebat · Jul 03, 2005, 09:11 PM // 21:11

Since Ascension missions are hard and annoying as hell it would be nice to have something to show that I have completed them besides word of mouth.

arnansnow · Jul 03, 2005, 09:13 PM // 21:13

Well, since ascended people have "true sight" as said by visier kilbraun (most likely spelled wrong) maybe ascended people should have glowing eyes.

That's an interesting idea.

Iteicea Destroidium · Jul 03, 2005, 09:14 PM // 21:14

once again...many people just want that so they can lord it over others, I think Loviatar and I have said it a couple times now, it's a dumb idea because of all the immature people who would consider it a mark of their "greatness" do we really want even more 12 year olds running around thinking they are god?

arnansnow · Jul 03, 2005, 09:16 PM // 21:16

Well, if they are running around thinking they are god, when they go into the arena you should be able to destroy them as they are overconfident.

Wrong choice of words on my part

. Seriously though, even though they are trying to lean away from that type of mentality and are trying to cut down on that it doesn't make it any less fact that that is how it is.

And there's already too much of this already, even without the bonus rank. Speaking of the Noob term. It was funny to me that the day this game out there was already some using the Noob term..."Um aren't we all?"

Anyway, I only use the noob term on those who call someone else a Noob. And that's only to make them mad...which works pretty good.

arnansnow · Jul 03, 2005, 09:31 PM // 21:31

Aren't you all just lording over the fact that you are more superior than the 12-year old people who call other people Noobs?

Nope. I'm not superior, nor will I ever consider I am. Sometimes I do well PvP with a strategy I tried, sometimes they have a counter strategy that works better...I learn from those.

I mean superior as in feeling that you are better in the fact that you don't lord over other people and call them noobs.

I think this is why they made ascension armor. If your very good at the game, earning the money and materials for 15k armor is easy. So That is how you tell a good lvl 20 from a stupid lvl 20. (Probably not most of the time, but I'm sure that's what Anet was shooting for.)
