Booze, sweets, lucky, unlucky and wisdom titles.
Whoever think of these must be seriously intoxicated.

kostolomac · Jul 04, 2008, 10:47 AM // 10:47

Only the guardian and protector titles should exist for pve.

For me, titles are a two-edged sword that both add to and take away from the game, depending on your perspective. What I don't get is why there are absolutely silly titles and yet no title for completing all the quests in a given campaign/expansion. It seems to me that the most "valid" titles are the ones that you get from actually playing the game(guardian, protector, etc.), so why no legendary quest completion title?

Kusandaa · Jul 04, 2008, 11:30 AM // 11:30

Wishing that some didn't exist? Nah.

Don't really like? That's more like it. Lucky, Unlucky, Survivor only because people take it way too seriously, and LDOA with the amount of grind necessary to accomplish (I know it's supposed to be hard, people do it, but IMO there's a limit).

Oh and Z-rank. I can understand for a PvPer since they have access to mass amount of Balth faction, but there is no way I'm spending over 5k/key to get eff'ed up by that chest =P.

all of em imo

RiKio · Jul 04, 2008, 11:32 AM // 11:32

Any grinded title, and the Hero emote. Screw the HA players!

Clone · Jul 04, 2008, 12:18 PM // 12:18

All of them. The slow transition from Guild Wars to Grind Wars has marked the decay of what was good in this game.

makosi · Jul 04, 2008, 12:21 PM // 12:21

Sweet Tooth, Drunkard, Zaishen and Party Animal. They shouldn't have created titles that involve in excess of a milllion gold (let alone 100 million for Zaishen) when you consider how many people got rich illegitimately.

At least crap like LDoA and Vanquisher require time, dedication and perseverance to achieve.

P.S. Maxing Wisdom wasn't so hard before the bots were properly dealt with. When you could buy 7 unidentifieds for 4.5k you'd get at least 50% of the value back from merching them and you'd also get mods, some inscriptions and valuable Canthan stuff like Broadswords and Dragon Staves. Wasn't all so bad.

None.

Just because i don't wish to get a title that is no reason to wish it away from other people.

Anyway, HM was not meant for people who cannot do it. It was added to offer challenge to those who found NM too easy. Constant whining from people saying they cant do it has given rise to various additions to the game to make it easier. Defeating the purpose of HM itself.

This seems more a "titles i can't achieve so don't want anybody else to get" thread to me.

Survivor(the idea is ok, implementation/the way it works isn't), ldoa(lol), norn(hi ursan).

Eh, I like titles. Gw doesn't have a huge level cap like wow and other mmorpg, so its hard to keep playing and show progress and skill and time put in (and yes, some titles still show that you have skill) There's no epic armor and weapons, even the rare stuff is doable if you farm enough. Titles show effort. Don't like em? Don't get em.

_Todeshand_ · Jul 04, 2008, 01:15 PM // 13:15

All.

Oh wait... PvP could be boring then, so keep Hero/Glad/Champ

gremlin · Jul 04, 2008, 01:17 PM // 13:17

I wouldn't remove any titles but I hope something similar in gw2 is given more thought.

Titles vs Reputations.

Some of the titles are really reputations ie you can get a title as a champion drinker by winning contests but you get a reputation as a drunk by being drunk most of the time.
So for gw2 change the name or the way some of them are achieved.

Titles gained by doing stupid acts like death leveling to achieve them that's just mad, they way they are achieved should be made more logical.
You don't become a defender of or saviour of anything by effectively losing thousands of combats till the opposing force gains enough experience for you to learn something by killing them.
Who thought that one up and is he now on the correct medication.

Titles or reputations should be gained by performing difficult tasks or frequent performance of an activity.

Hunt Dragons for a few years you might gain a reputation as a dragon hunter, take on the task of destroying an especially large dragon that's almost impossible to kill and you could get the title of dragon slayer.

Anyway that's my opinion

Abedeus · Jul 04, 2008, 01:23 PM // 13:23

I would leave only Protectors, Cartographers and Skill Hunters. Everything else, go to hell.

oliverrr1989 · Jul 04, 2008, 01:30 PM // 13:30

I like titles but only the ones you achieve through playing...so...most of them except rep titles, sweet tooth, drunkard, party animal, zaishen. Also I don't like the hero title because you cant get it unless you already have it (wtf?) unless you join a guild just for it because people in HA are rank elitists. Also I think all PvP titles take waaaayyyy too long to max...some people have been playing 3 years straight and still not maxed them which is kinda sad and yes they take lots of skill but they are also grind

Zena Starlight · Jul 04, 2008, 01:59 PM // 13:59

Personally, I wouldn't mind if the hero title disappeared off the face of ... Tryia? Then I can stop working for the accused r3.

shoyon456 · Jul 04, 2008, 02:03 PM // 14:03

Legendary Vanquisher. Seriously, what good is there in killing EVERY monster in EVERY zone?

Especially since none of it ever does any good by the time of gw2.

Legendary Vanquisher is mindless grind on a MASSIVE scale.

CyberMesh0 · Jul 04, 2008, 02:21 PM // 14:21

Zaishen, only. Pointless, useless, and there are far better titles to put emotes with. (KoaBD for example, people have been clamoring for that for months.)

Oh, and hard mode is supposed to be hard. You aren't forced to play in HM.

Sir Seifus Halbred · Jul 04, 2008, 03:27 PM // 15:27

Everything-titles in general were bad right from the start...

nekopowa · Jul 04, 2008, 03:43 PM // 15:43

None of them, they don't affect my gameplay in any negative way.
