same as always some henchmen have a clipping hair issue which is top priority and then they buff random pve shit and nerf pvp to the ground QQ what i want to see is more viable builds rather then just the odd few.

It's one designer, one programmer, etc. A des is a dev, but a dev not necessarily a des. Think of it as if devs were a profession, then Linsey would have a boss aura.

Hmm, has there actually been official news about titles becoming account-wide, or is this another case of the community hyping things and getting disappointed afterwards?

I have only read about the HoM becoming account-wide, i.e. if you have a set of FoW armor on one character, also other characters of yours have this statue "unlocked", and the same goes for titles. However, as I understand it, this has nothing to do with the titles themselves becoming account-wide. Your monk won't suddenly become a Not too shabby legendary vanquisher just because your elementalist has achieved those titles. Only the HoM can be set to be account-wide, not titles themselves.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just trying to avoid unwarranted hype and consequently a huge letdown.

What I hope is that those titles would not be linked to massively overpowered skills that get slightly better the more u grind..

Rewarding grinding is just plain wrong..

Inferior? Because you do less dmg ONLY in Realm of Torment ? Wow.

You seem very clever to me...

People grind because they want to get the rewards for the grind...

There has been no official word about what will be included in the update. It's ALL speculation & wishful thinking.

I think I'm looking most forward to making "bad" elites better. I wonder what they do to Wastrel's Collapse... Also hope they would let Simple Thievery steal monster skills again, that was alot fun ;D

It depends mostly on what you're "rewarded" for. If you're rewarded in terms of vanity then that's a plus, since it's just as useless as spending weeks upping a title. But if you're rewarded an easier time in the game, then that's a whole different problem altogether.

The reputation titles represent your characters individual influence with the appropriate factions, not your accounts. I know its a bit of a weak "lore" arguement, but it does seem a bit strange that you should start a new character in NF, be recruited to the Sunspears and immediately become a "Legendary Spearmarshall" in the eyes of your superiors.

And here I thought it was strange that the title didn't automatically fill upon completion of the given chapter.

Sunspear: "Hey, wow! You killed a God and saved the world! You rule!"

Player: "Cool, so I'm max rank now, right?"

Sunspear: "Well, I mean, that's impressive and all, but there are these Margonites in a hut in the Desolation. If you could kill those guys about 200 times, we'd be really impressed!"

Substitute "Sunspear" for "Norn, Asura, etc", "God" for "Great Destroyer", and "Margonite" for "random EotN foe", and you see why "lore" explanations for rank mechanics fail.

Wow, one paragraph about what she likes to do when she plays. Two paragraphs asking people not to pm her in game incessantly. And two sentences effectively not "saying" anything but there is an update coming so stop complaining about not having updates.

Let us discuss for 18 pages.

Fortunately, Anet mentioned something about changing rep title grind....it seems they're realizing that the majority hates it.

Agreed. As was mentioned, I don't think anyone likes grinding. But even if they do make it account-wide, it'll still take forever to get to the max rank on all those things. So it should be account-wide. You do it once, you shouldn't do it again.

And the Luxon/Kurzick titles are account-based, but they also require grinding in AB and a lot more points. So how are they different than the rep points in GWEN or SS/LB? I see no difference.

Koning · Aug 04, 2008, 05:09 PM // 17:09

Nothing (I said I would like to see it get removed earlier

).
