...none of this changes the fact that your Gw2 character is merely a graverobber who finds your shit 250 years later. <-- ...paraphrased from a Dev quote o/c. ...and sure, you could apply some Sword in the Stone bs to it but you're still gankin someone else's shit ...IE: NOT a direct descendant.

That said, I've always been partial to "god-hand".
It atleast implies that there's a greater force behind your actions or fightng style.. etc.

Seriously though...is any GW1 attained title going to matter for more than a few weeks after GW2 release?

I agree. I don't dislike "Champion of the Gods" on it's own merit, but I do feel like it's a little bit over the top going into day one of a new game release. It either completely overshadows future GW2 titles, or creates a ridiculous baseline point from which to go up. Either way, not a good situation.

"Blood of the Ancient Hero" sounds good to me. Epic and acknowledging of your 'ancestor's' GW1 accomplishments, but leaving room for your character to make his own name in the world of GW2 as well.

Then again, I'll be wearing the 5-point Traveler title most of the time regardless =P

Probably not. I wouldn't have guessed they were adding titles in GW2 to show achievements from GW1. It probably was a poor decision in the first place.

They could hardly revoke them now though. Well maybe if the titles got replaced by more 'material' rewards.

God complex, god complex everywhere.

Nothing is good for you peeps.

I don't mind titles, actually in terms of MMORPG they make perfect sense.Most MMO's in the genre have them, for good reason, but they are predominantly a pure aesthetic or collectable.GW just placed way to much import on them, like other games did with loot I guess, and then left players hanging for 2+ years with nothing else to do.

When they morphed into a possible commodity for GW2 they became pretty laughable imo but then again if it keeps people playing.......

I see flashy GW1 titles and "possibly" gear running amok for the first few weeks in GW2 before they become old hat and redundant outside personal gratification.Then again maybe that's the whole point.

On topic:

"Pimped My Ride(10)" is my new title submission.

Milennin · Oct 09, 2010, 05:53 PM // 17:53

I don't really mind the title, and I think Flameseeker and Legend of the Mists are equally cool. Never really cared for titles anyways, but it's something to work towards after finishing the game.8)

It's only supposed to be a nod to your accomplishments in GW1. I am sure there are plenty of awesome titles in GW2 that they want you to achieve.

Look at your title, now back to me, now back at your title, now back to me. Sadly, your title means nothing. But if you stop loitering ingame and start some srs gaming your title could mean something.

Look again! The titles are now diamonds! I'm on a horse.

Black Metal · Oct 09, 2010, 08:59 PM // 20:59

to me, it means more what it takes to earn a title, than the actual name of the title.

If the title 'Registered Sex Offender' means they maxed 35 tiers, they'll get my respect.

Dana Hawkeye · Oct 09, 2010, 09:26 PM // 21:26

How about:

''Leech of my Ancestors'' or ''Trying to fill the boots of my ancestors''

wilebill · Oct 09, 2010, 09:33 PM // 21:33

Here it is! Wait for it!

...

"Ghostly Bot Master"

Well, if only. I appreciate having something to do until GW 2 comes out. Really. The HoM turned out much much better than I expected.

You sir are a satirical master! I bow to your greatness

+1 to change Champion of the Gods to Ghostly Bot Master.

I have 2 suggestions for Champion of the God because I agree the name is not really impressive.

First : Blood of the Legendary Savior

Second : They Retired My Number (making an analogy to the sports world)

Just my 2 cents

This made me lol.

As for the OP, I don't really understand whats wrong with it. I mean is it just that it doesn't soon "cool" to you? The way a title sounds is pretty much different for every individual...

Polgara Val · Oct 10, 2010, 12:11 AM // 00:11

Sounds a little cheesy for me, not to fussed though, Legend of the Mists is far better.
