Ok so I been catching up on titles and now I have almost 8 maxed. If I only stop at 10 maxed titles, will someone who has more titles maxed than me get more bonuses for Guild Wars 2 ? My entire hall is almost done except for the title monument.

The reason I ask is because why should someone receive more bonuses for GW2 just because they have more time to max titles. Granted, Guild Wars 2 is still a ways to go and it seems like if you are a pve player you are being forced to title grind just for extra stuff that you may or may not need. We still do not even know what we will be getting for title maxing.

I just hope that when it comes down to making an official statement on the HOM, that Arenenet takes into consideration that just because someone may have less titles than somoene or someone who may not be into title grinding but has bene playing a long time should deserve something too.

The bonus' would have to really be worth the amount of time being put it otherwise I'd imagine they'll get soem worse feedback than the initial HoM.

It's not that hard to get the titles but I know where you're coming from, but doubtful it will change.

From what I understand, each title added to the HOM will unlock a bit of content in GW2. Whether it be weapon skins, special emotes, or whatever - it will not give anyone an advantage over anyone else. (Other than the e-peen enhancement)

Erik Fox · Jun 18, 2009, 06:39 PM // 18:39

I'm hoping it's something in looks only - really cool something(like auras were before everyone had them) that doesn't give an advantage over other people straight out of the gate.

Gigashadow · Jun 18, 2009, 06:45 PM // 18:45

Will be interesting to see how they do it; for example, maybe each separate title you have maxed, gives you 1 point to "spend", and you can spend these on reward(s).

So while it's true that people who maxxed 30 titles will be able to get more (all?) of the rewards on the list, all of those choices may be not particularly desirable anyway. Meanwhile people who have only 5, or 10 or whatever, will still be able to pick the most desirable (for them) rewards from the list.

This is one way to keep both camps happy.

upier · Jun 18, 2009, 06:48 PM // 18:48

Between my two accounts - I should have around 5k hours logged in.
My main guy has 3 maxed titles. And that probably won't change.

So yeah, I am most anxious to see how they incorporate this.

Sarevok Thordin · Jun 18, 2009, 06:49 PM // 18:49

In the end you cannot expect them to hold back on title maxers, after all the KoABD title itself is a title that can be maxed.

Really, if someone puts effort in and goes way over 10 titles, you have to expect they'll get something for it.

BenjZee · Jun 18, 2009, 07:05 PM // 19:05

but the thing is they don't have to be equal to any effort we've put in. They never had to give anything extra for gw2 and that they are. The whole point of getting titles is not for gw2 remember...
That aside i just think you gotta complete the HoM to get the rewards. No one title is worth more than another in terms of rewards. Completing would mean 5/5 armors etc not every one.

Riot Narita · Jun 18, 2009, 07:10 PM // 19:10

All speculation, nobody knows.

My own expectation is that you'll get something for each visible monument. ie. if you have five titles on display, you'll get the maximum goodies... and nothing for any other titles which aren't on display.

However, the extra titles might not be wasted, because I also suspect your KoaBD rank will give something additional (because the appearance of your HoM changes with each KoaBD rank).

Whatever the benefits are for HoM monuments, IMO they're sure to be cosmetic only, shiney baubles.

Ghost Omel · Jun 18, 2009, 07:16 PM // 19:16

They have stated it will be only cosmetic and not a power boost or anything like that..

So let me ask you this OP

Why should you get the same ammoount of extra skins or whatever if you didnt put in as much work as the other guy?

Would this be fair you say...

I maxed 25 titles..with a full hall from the armor sets to the minis to the pets and heroes and D weapons.....

I wouldnt be pissed if i dont get those other extra 6 skins or whatever or if some 1 gets more then me...Why are you so upset about it in the first place...As previous posters stated Anet said it wont be tactical advantage....So lighten up and enjoy the game for the game not to be Uber and have more e-peen then the other guy -_-...

No not saying in angry voice.. just giving an advice no personal attaks of any sort.. thank you and have fun

Jinkies · Jun 18, 2009, 07:18 PM // 19:18

They would also have to account for the different difficulties, such as you can't compare a rank 8 hero with a rank 12 one, or a zaishen 3 with a zaishen 12. Unlike the weapon And armour monuments, the title one would be really hard to design. Personally I doubt they will do much with the itle monument, after all they only mentioned that they will add the weps from hom to gw2.

BenjZee · Jun 18, 2009, 07:20 PM // 19:20

Or maybe you can also transfer a version of the tittles such as max sunspear gets you eternal spearmarshal title

Mordakai · Jun 18, 2009, 07:25 PM // 19:25

Speaking as someone who has only ONE title (Protector of Tyria, duh), I believe more titles should give you more virtual stuff.

I mean, my guess is most of this stuff will be replaced by cooler looking stuff available in GW2.

And, on the off-chance that the coolest looking thing in the game comes from 10+ titles?

Well, if you really want it, max the titles. I'm slowly working on titles, but if I don't max anymore before GW2, then that's OK.

IMO, the point of any game is to have fun.

Well you are right, people who have maxed out 25 titles should get the extra something but I remember when Guild Wars wasn't about titles. It was about just playing pvp or pve and having fun. What do you say to the loyal fan who has been with Guild Wars from the start and just because he/she opts not to do their HOM. Do you say , " sorry you don't get something because you didn't grind for achievements" but thanks for buying Guild Wars ?

For me whatever titles I can max is great and I'm not expecting the world from Arenanet but it just seems that the HOM could have been done alot better.

Ghost Omel · Jun 18, 2009, 07:37 PM // 19:37

Ive been playing only a half a year after release -_-

I just joined guru 2 years ago -_-

And AWS A vetrean player i believe that those veterans should recieve more content for their work....You are loal player you get what you get.. you said all is filled but the titles..so you had time to grind for armor and minis but not for titles....Not even grind...

The only titles i grinded was......EotN titlesand thats about it everything else came from play... oh and Cart but that was in concucsion with Vanquisher.. regardless

Once again you get as much as you worked for.. if you are upset cause your not gonna get a cpecial starter gear that others will because they got more titles then..then by all means be upset over such a silly thing...

But but i vote for some sort of skin or extra for playing a game for as long as people plyed it.. starting from 2005 all the way till release that way youd be pleased?

Who said Maxing titles was pure grind it was fun and was mostly a by-product so i gues....i had more fun then you =).. once again nothing personal just stating my point of view.. and no im not aiming for more titles.. 25 titles=Maxed HoM

Actually yes, yes you do. I don't PvE so I don't have maxed titles. I already know I won't be getting things because I don't want to grind for the achievements. I feel the reward for simple things is not worth spending a lot of time doing something I don't deem as fun. Therefore I, and other like me, have absolutely no right to complain about not getting the same favor as a guy who did more HoM stuff than us. And yes it is fair. He/She took the time to do it and I did not. Would I like to be rewarded for the stuff I enjoy doing? I definitely wouldn't mind, but I'm doing that kind of stuff without the benefit of knowing I'm getting a reward in GW2. So I obviously don't need one for motivation now do I?

And Guild Wars is not about title grinding. Guild Wars is whatever you make it out to be. For some, Guild Wars is a way to spend time with their family (instead of board games or something), for others it is title grinding, for me it is competing with others for the sheer enjoyment of it. This game is whatever you want it to be, not what Anet wants it to be.

See perfect example of sanity...

No no ofcourse every 1 is going to be rewarded regardless..... Im pretty sure there will be a common reward for all GW1 players....PvP rewards should be greater then PvE (No i dont PvP like a horse.. but i have my share of battle scars and burn marks =))

Titles are not even that much of a grind.....u can get 10 in probably about 2-3 weeks from just nomal gameplay. Protector Cantha (1) Elona (2) Tyria (3) (and those are just titles that can be gotten by gameplay alone not grinding), Dwarven (4) (easy if you try each dungeona at least once), Norn (5) (for this one let's say u use a full EotN book to get a point boost, rest shouldn't be too hard), Drunkard (6) (some ppl don't have the cash for this one, but easy as hell since u just stay drunk while u go about regular gameplay), Skill Hunter Elona (7) Tyria (8) Cantha (9) Legendary (10) (the skill hunter ones are a bit of a grind but if you cap as you go through regular gameplay, when you're done with each expansion, there shouldn't be that many skills left uncapped that couldn't be done in no time). And there u are at 10.

Now I've been playing for about just under 3 years, and my 30 were maxed about 6 months ago. I grinded a bit but it wasn't as hard as people imagine. I go to school and work so I'm not on GW 24/7. The hardest were probably the party, alcohol, and sugar just because they were money guzzling titles. The rest was easy. Guardian titles were a nice challenge and so was Vanquishing.

As a PvEer mainly, I don't even know what really left to do in PvE after playing this long than farm, FoWsc UWsc Urgoz Deep Doa......and in some sense aren't those a grind also to an extent?

But I get where you're coming from. This must really suck for the PvPer who hates PvE.

And on a side note.....maxing those titles was fun but I'd probably never do it again. lol.

Aldric · Jun 18, 2009, 07:56 PM // 19:56

I don't think any HoM addition will give an actual playing advantage over another player just cosmetic extras however there may be a scale on what bonus level you acheive in relation to how full each particlular monument is.

For instance , ive seen some people postulate that putting minipets into the HoM will unlock a free minipet as soon as you buy GW2. If you have 3 pets in HoM you could get a "white" Whiptail whereas if you had 35 then you might get a "Green" Kuuna. If you see how i mean , rewards for everyone but slightly cooler ones for the more you do

dsielschott · Jun 18, 2009, 08:27 PM // 20:27

i myself have played for 4 years now and just finally got my 16th title maxed.....all the easy ones if u ask me.....no vanquishing, cartographer, chest running, id'ing.....i did grind a few EoTN titles but mostly norn when it was for ursan, and i just play casually and get them slowly....next on my list is asura and then on to vanq/cart.

what if each title you got gives you a free unlock of a skill.....(pve only skills)
or a maxed weapon, or a maxed weapon mod, u wont get the full benefit of them till u play awhile but u get them and can use them for free

or if u do get God walking title then you should have an ora about u because at that point you are the ancestor of a God!!!

anyways, i do think that you should get extras for it, all of it, titles, armors, minis, weapons, and pets

weapon monument maxed = cool weapon
pet/hero monument maxed = cool hero/pet
armors monument maxed = cool armor or dye for it
minis monument maxed = cool mini pet
God Walking amongst mear mortals = ora!

and if u want any of these u can go back to GW1 and get them always!!!(cause when 2 comes out they arent gonna shut this one down)

just my thoughts cause thats why they made titles anyway
