It gives people a sense of accomplishment, and incentive to continue playing GW until GW2.

The disguised grind will only get worse.

Ah.. z key price skyrockets tonic prices plummet.

Im glad a.net added new stuff but why not a better trade system?

Isnt time a.net gave us something we really wanted?

Actually, tonic prices stay fairly stable since the tonics change every month.

Which one is taking more work ? New Line in Character Sheet or model fixing?

Besides, new stuff is better than lil fixes, for Random Guy

Still i 100% agree

Although I'm glad that there is now a PvE equivalent of the /rank emote, I'm afraid that this one is a bit too easy to get. I can just imagine thousands of spears coming from the sky in every town you go to. Not a pretty sight.

On the bright side, this kinda de-emphasizes the current /rank emotes (since everyone's gonna be spamming something now), which is good since those emotes should have gone the way of the dodo when titles were introduced.

Oh wait, that's "grind".

Anet can't win, can they /sarcasm.

Gotta love the mentality of some people. They will play the game (as here varoups forms of pvp) and be quite happy. Give them a reward for playing and all of a sudden its "grind".

In tourney points, you still need 100000 tourney points to get the title maxed.
In money, you still need 100 million to get the title.
In balth points, you need 100 million balth points to get the title.

Each method costs time, but money costs the most through time and the time required makes it grind.

And yeah, money, is the best way to gain the title, unless you're actively in AT's.

If you can come up with a decent alternative APART FROM them, please do show it.

And, if you're going to go for the title, you're obviously grinding for the title.

I myself prefer to have a nicely stacked account with all titles at least rank 1, maxed if possible without alot of grind. I want all of the things that this game can offer me on my account.

The reward of PvP is in itself, the challenge, but when something like this comes along, you want to play ravenously to gain it because it's something that can be gained.

Now they go to add something and people complain?

What the hell is "fresh" here? It's the same PvP, same chest, same keys, they just added something that happens AFTER you do all the same things you already WERE doing. You still have to do exactly the same thing you did before, you just get a silly looking animation if you do it a whole lot.

I don't see how you could conceivably view this as "new content" in anything but the window-dressing sort of way.

So at what rank can I put this new Tile in my HoM :3

Tosha · May 08, 2008, 10:06 PM // 22:06

I have no idea if someone has already posted this, I didnt feel like reading 9 pages >.> (call me lazy)

But I think the gold farming bot companies will cheer at this. Already the price of a ZKey is 5 key/ecto. Hurray for the VVAR warriors in RA. :S

True, there are less bots that I have seen. But farming balty faction for Zkeys is now a VERY easy way to get gold fast.

shoyon456 · May 08, 2008, 10:09 PM // 22:09

One problem I have.... Where the hell are the daggers and scythe?

My main is a derv, not a para and not a warrior dammit

zwei2stein · May 08, 2008, 10:12 PM // 22:12

Fact: If you can get 100 000 Balth faction a day, this title takes only 3 years. Weee!

What is Hourly faction gain of TOP PvPers anyway?

Gun Pierson · May 08, 2008, 10:12 PM // 22:12

Although I appreciate Anet for still adding new things to the game, I'm not really thrilled with joy about this one. It's another boring expensive title which doesn't add much to the fun factor of the game imo. Except for maybe to get an emote as a pve player. It's poor implemented though.

As Anet made the decision emotes are available via pve, I would try a different approach. Give gladiator and kobd track emotes and drop the zaishen idea.

About titles, more creativity and fun please. Or just no new titles at all.

Zesbeer · May 08, 2008, 10:17 PM // 22:17

im just mad because they are pulling the same s*** that they did when they made the change to luxon and kurzick title track and not giveing people who already spent a lot of keys in this case any kind of reward.

It's hard to ignore a title when it has a negative impact on you. Like for example... half of an alliance decides that they'll start playing HA to farm for Z-Keys, thus leaving behind everyone who can't or won't HA. Wouldn't someone be unhappy if his guild stopped its usual PvE activities for something else that he was left out of? It's hard to ignore your guild ignoring you.

Shanaeri Rynale · May 08, 2008, 10:29 PM // 22:29

As I mentioned above. It's not that we don't appreciate Anet's work in wanting to keep people playing, but there are so many better ways in which this could have been done.

I must be getting sleepy, as I fail to see this as a PvE title. It's either a PvP generated or Gold obtained title, and gold can be obtained from both PvP and PvE sides of the game. Pve is not just about the acqusition of wealth, nor about the number of titles you get. It's about the player pitting their wits against those of the devs, helping friends and contributing to the wider community. This titles moves none of these forward, alas.

A PvE title would be something like, a title for doing every quest in the game, Survivor on a pre factions char, or many of the other title ideas seen in Sardelac.

It's also disturbing that special emotes are being encouraged to be used as 'finishing moves'; something which has been discouraged in PvP since day 1.

We(meaning I) don't want Anet to stop adding new stuff and go home, but it needs to be stuff that discourages grind, does'nt require $$$$ of gold to obtain but moves us back to the GW that had the fundimental premise of player skill>time spent.

Tbh it's stuff like this that makes people very nervous about GW2. Solid info on this can't come soon enough imho, if at least to put peoples minds at rest..

Chestnut · May 08, 2008, 10:31 PM // 22:31

Ok my question is this how come everyone is considering this new title as PVE title and the Emote a PVE emote? dont you have to PVP to get it?
