@Avatar of Me: Death leveled Charr still have the attributes appropriate to level 7 or 8 based on prof. The Academy Monk is a level 5 and honestly doesn't have trouble surviving unless you let both 15s gang up on it.

The most interesting thing about this is really that you don't need to actually be level 10 to have spawns triggered. A level 10+ person can 'quest monkey' it for you regardless of your level. You won't receive Vanguard Initiate but with a more conservative approach to leveling until you do (i.e. having a 10 or 14 do it instead of a 17) it's incredibly fast. This makes perfect sense if it was actually encouraging grouping, but it isn't.

I love the update. Much much more fun. I wanted to get LDoA, but at level 13 decided it wasn't worth the electric bill, let alone the risk of short-circuits and burning down your entire house if you leave the pc on when away from home. (even if the odds of that happening are very, very small, still NOT worth a silly title in a game).

Now you actually get to play for the title. fantastic!

The only thing I hope Anet will do better in GW2 is to implement ALL their titles right away, and not after 5.5 years, and have people moan about it.

Aldric now I'll make a summary for you, to understand clearly (I hope) because I added the idea of a "recognition " in the Game.

The subset of players who care already know who got it the hard way, so what's the fuss about?

Now you've missed your chance.

I have no idea how someone could spend so much time in presearing and deathlevel for the LDoA title without once getting curious and finding the presearing website.

This is also a recognition (getting a mention on a site), but I'm not unable to have it, as part of a community of players who may not know, after March 3, who is entitled to be or not mentioned.
I knew it could not have a recognition in the forums, so I put an example in the game.

The part you highlighted in the second quotation(shown above) is closely linked to the previous one and reflects the invocation of equal rights. I do not understand how you can make a mistake like this after my repeated calls for attention.

I gather from what you write (in all post), you give a value to the Titles greater than what I give them, wanting no one else can have any kind of recognition if you too can not have.
You really have acquired the Titles for you? I do not think as I think you have not done before March 3 LDoA for this you continue to misunderstand my posts by reading only the parts that annoy you and not the whole of them.

But I'm tired of always call you back to read my post, in my first post is my opinion as to the update, in plus I think now it's useless to discuss, the ArenaNet has made this and other changes and additions to pay in the game for new players , to have more money and not for (what some just call it) the integrity of the game, these things will not change.

It 's true: the arrogance and the money make the world go round, instead the understanding and the moral slow it down ... I see that the world of GW is starting to turn faster.

This is my last post, I urge readers to not quote me because I can not answer (in case the quote would imply a my answer).

Thanks for reading.
Have a nice day.

All will be one.

I feel more sorry for those achieving survivor then LDoA prepatch. LDoA never recuired as much as an ounce of skill, it's just another grind and has as much merit as Ebon Vanguard R10.

When you have no skills to use, didn't have the Imp (I did it long before this), and have minimum armor and weapons.

It's not any more overwhelmingly boring than Lucky/Unlucky, or pretty much any of the other titles since you eventually have to grind them out to max anyway. I think the new way of LDoA is just as boring. Sure, the first time through each of the quests gives us something new to do, but after that, it's all the same boring grind. At least by DLing, you can actually go and do something, anything, in the real world. Trying to get LDoA post update forces you into mind-numbing grind sessions.

At this point, Anet should just cut to the chase and implement an "Easy Button" for titles that way we can all save ourselves some time and brain cells by instantly maxing any and all titles we wish and get on with playing the game in the manner that we most enjoy.

Okay you've changed my mind, i think Anet should rename it "Legendary Defender of Ascalon, but not as legendary as Cor Kalom who's dedication to AFKing is more awesome than you"

You want recognition for AFKing during countless hour s to get a title...?
Ok. I can do that.

Call me anytime you want in-game, and I'll go wherever you are, to /point and /laugh at you!
That's all the recognition any pre-update LDoA shold get, excepting the first 5 or so that got it, before the addition of the title itself. Those few that got it first for the sake of it, without going for any title, or without doing it because anyone else was doing it too.

I will not be against a date added in titles in GW2, though. So those that get a title at a certain time, get that recorded in the title itself, just in case any update makes them easier or harder to get.

But in GW1 it's too late for that.
There are too many gimmicks, too many design flaws, in them.
Hammer exploits for survivor, farming, chest runs, SCs...

Too many people rushing too much in a system that allows it too much.

I cleared prophecies before heroes, cons, and pve skills. If you get special recognition, many of us also need special recognition too.

Also how about legendary survivor before boxing? How about drunkard before the update? Etc. etc.

malevolence · Mar 18, 2011, 02:43 PM // 14:43

This thread is way too silly. ANET is giving the people an opportunity to achieve the titles that requiered a stupid amount of time/grinding/afking, and I believe they are doing it right.

What about a 60 wins in a row I got in RA way long ago before a gladiator tittle existed ? I got nothing... there were no Zkeys etc. But this is not a reason for me to start a thread and complain about it, I just need to accept the fact that the game evolved and keep evolving.

Roen · Mar 18, 2011, 03:58 PM // 15:58

I'll just add that I have a now lvl 17 toon in pre. I had started death leveling before the patch because I want LDoA. I'm glad I can stop death leveling now. It sucks.
