Yep, people are title hunting.

I am one of them. 4 more titles to go for "God Walking...". All I do at the moment is 1. drinking, 2. eating, 3. partying and 4. identifying items.

I will have to farm soon, money is going down quickly.

You are right, I bet not even ANet knows what we will be getting. But I also guess most of us played GW for ages by now and there is not much else left to do, except the urge to work on the titles.

This is bad. Titles were at first a nice addition, like PvE skills. Now they are a curse.

I am also sure that the "rewards" for titles and stuff will cause major discussions here. The HoM just keeps us grinding till GW2 is around.

And I hope they offer some better gameplay, if it comes to grind I could chose to play WoW and would have better grind.

What a D-bag response. Did ya ever consider that people who CAN think also can enjoy title farming, Skipper?

I think titles have changed the game, but not killed it.
It gives me something to work towards, and I enjoy working towards hard titles even if it can sometimes be hard. I dont mind the grind, so to speak.

wrong period as stated much earlier from jeff strain/mike o brion asd the dev team.

THERE WILL BE ZERO/NO/NADA PLAYING ADVANTAGE OVER A NEW PLAYER

NOT A SELLABLE MINI
NOT GOLD
NOT ANYTHING

THEY STATED ANYTHING WILL *UNLOCK* SOMETHING IN GW2 BUT IT WILL GIVE NO PLAYER AN ADVANTAGE.

There seems to more emphasis on the title hunting-just take a look at what people are looking for in a guild in the connections forum-there's alot more ppl wanting a title hunting guild than there used to be a while back.

And I'm positive that once GW2 comes out and we GW1 vets. get to see what the rewards are, there's going to be a resurgance in GW1 just to get those titles. I'm even pretty sure that a couple of those in said resurgance will be ppl who's first GW experience is GW2, and they want the cool looking skins, so they go out and buy the GW1 stuff and just goes at it.

As for me, I do titles just because I can. Some of them actually pose a challenge (like the Vanquishers) and some are just down right fun (Drunkard XD). Right now I got bored getting titles for my tank and have been spending time with my other chars (actually, just my para lol) but I imagine in a couple months I'll be back to getting more titles for the tank. Personnally I love 'em and could really care less about the rewards in GW2-sure it's going to be cool, but that's not why I do them.

Let them spend hundreds or thousands of hours on getting the No-Life Walking Among Mere Normals title. Sad people, without a real life, family, friends shall be rewarded with a better looking starter armor in GW2, don't you think ? Otherwise we will have a tsunami of suicides of poor no-lifes...

Same............................

Actually, I fully anticipate there being no advantage in GW2 at all. I expect there many be a unique skinned weapon (not unique stats, only the skin), possibly a unique mini-pet, and maybe a unique armor art and some displayable titles.

There are many players that have now a 'Must Stick with this character' feeling.

I think I read this in sardelac (maybe the same person) but I think it's one of the best suggestions ever.

Kusandaa · Mar 03, 2008, 07:25 PM // 19:25

I'm working on titles because it actually gives me something to work for. Same with armor. Because I'm tired of the storyline but like the idea of killing stuff and having different armor... I just do.

Yes, I like to farm. I don't care if I have or not an advantage or not over another player (although in GW I don't). I like to kill stuff, so I do.

And yes, I have a life.

Buster · Mar 03, 2008, 07:56 PM // 19:56

I'm not a title fan at all but for those who like them that is great. Titles for GW1 was a good thing because it gave people more things to do. One of the problems I had with titles is that you don't know what you are getting, even if it is cosmetic or not I don't want to find out that I gained all these titles just for maybe a new mini or 5 purple balloons with smiley faces on them.
I am usually on board mostly what Arenanet does but they should have told us what we are getting before they introduced titles. This way there would have been more of an incentive to achieve titles. Either way I am just really looking forward to playing Guild Wars 2.

Sir Pandra Pierva · Mar 03, 2008, 08:08 PM // 20:08

meh i have found most titles too dull to go for, but as long as there is nothing that gives the old players advatages over the new ones then i really dont care about HoM. What would nice is if you could get the items you had stored there for a bunch of cash so you could get your elite armors on a new char but it would be crafted just like normal armor. as for the titles they would just be titles to show what accomplished in 1. the only reason i have problems with HoM is that there are PVE elitest idiots who if given an advantage will come and ruin the game early on for newer players. And that is what i want to avoid

Fox Reeveheart · Mar 03, 2008, 08:51 PM // 20:51

I hope with the miniatures they'll like... grow up? And become some sort of tameable pet.

Of course it would just be cosmetics... But I would enjoy having a wind rider following me around....

or how about black moas wont be available in gw2 >.> the only way to get one is the mini one you have dedicated will somehow grow up for your future gw2 character.

destroyer weapons are just plain dumb... except the hammer.

If they give those elite armors some graphical updates in GW2 and we can gain access to them with those characters that would otherwise be unavailable that would be cool.

No clue what the hero armor things would do.... I would like a sexy spirit of acolyte jin to accompany me though o.O

Maybe the title one makes you some sort of direct descendant of the name you have reserved.

Like "Oh, You are Fox Reeveheart (the 12th?), descendant of legendary Fox Reevehear the 1st! He who defeated a god, closed the doors of komalie, sent shiro tagachi back to the underworld and defeated the iron forgeman. Greatest ally of the asurans...etc. etc. etc." And there will be little tangible benefits from that as well.

I don't title hunt just for rewards in GW2. I title hunt because I find it fun and other than PvP thats all I have to do.

- "compensation".

R.Shayne · Mar 03, 2008, 10:14 PM // 22:14

I have an armor addiction like many others. That and I actually have uses for all the armor (55 / 600 / Smite / Healer)

Only titles I am interesting in grinding are: Treasure Hunter (helps with lock-picks), Wisdom (helps with salvage), Lucky (helps with lock-picks) and the armor titles (only level five). The rest of the titles are the result of normal game play.

I really have no use for titles – I don’t mind farming if it is for drops or end chest but to farm for a title that may or may not mean anything in a game I don’t plan on buying. Sorry anet, it’s bad enough that kiddies pm asking for CoF runs and dealing with them in towns, no way I going to fight with them running around.

Thank You.

Sooooo just because someone wants likes to max titles they suddenly have "no life"?

As aapa said, this sounds like compensation.

Next time you post, save yourself some flames and avoid making that kind of generalization.

qft.
after playing ANY game for more than 2 years, you gotta find something to do. if you still enjoy the game, that is.
i'm not too concerned about what my titles will mean in gw2. just in case the "reward" for GWAMM is like, an everlasting sparkler.

i don't want to get my hopes up. i just enjoy getting titles.
