This is ... weird?

There is limited amount of player who (want to & have time to) grind such goals, and they usually already did most of those titles anyway, leaving wery little to fuell favor.

Its not like people will make go and make characters to farm elite explorers for favor.

Attempt at rework is good, but this just opens whole different can of worms.

Besides, we will have very good measurement on how much gw is dead

titles per day ratio.

Yep another one. I even said so earlier in this thread. Now if I am not mistaken A-Net promised us NOT to make this game grind heavy. Well seems since the Titles have been added they have pretty much lied to us and gone back on their very word. It's sad when a company does that.

This will be an interesting change. People have been begging for a change for ages. I'll withhold judgment to see how it plays out.

FireFox · Aug 09, 2007, 08:03 PM // 20:03

This is lame, really, I like the old system better.

Seems like it ultimately puts a finite cap on how long fow and uw will be playable without scrolls. Since there will be diminishing new players and people making new characters just to get titles doesn't this mean that someday favor just won't happen anymore?

1 hour entrance window stay as long as you want.

just because the door you entered shuts doesent mean it boots you at the same time.

example is someone who enters at minute 59 are they going to kick them when the door shuts 1 minute later?

cheers

WHAT? max titles? That seems so umm... WHAT?

that is basically what is going through my mind at the moment

VitisVinifera · Aug 09, 2007, 08:04 PM // 20:04

I've always been for unlinking PvP and PvE........but this.......it has obvious problems.

Yes, it encourages more grind.....but it's always gring for *someone else* to do, so noone will really do it just for the sake of gaining favor. Also, Shanaeri beat me to what first came to mind. What happens when people stop maxing titles? I've almost maxed all the titles I care to max, then I'm done with that damn grind. This will probably result in a total shutdown of access granted by this new system, much sooner than people expect.

Like so many other aspects, it's just too contrived and conditional. I see this as a source of much frustration........sorta like how it's always been.

edit:who gets paid to come up with these sorts of ideas?

KamikazeChicken · Aug 09, 2007, 08:04 PM // 20:04

There simply won't be enough people earning titles, so this change will eventually hit a brick wall, especially about 8 months of GW:EotN to GW2. Makes me glad I don't do FoW/UW. o.o

Omniclasm · Aug 09, 2007, 08:05 PM // 20:05

This is a crap change. Goodjob at disconnecting it from PvP, but wow.

Didn't you guys know? Guild Wars is a new type of MMO: e-Peen MMO!

First, gaudy weapons from Elite Missions which have no practical use. Then, minipets. Then, Hall of Monuments (so other people can see your e-Peen). Then, at last, with this update, worldwide e-Peen showoff! Haha!

Enko · Aug 09, 2007, 08:07 PM // 20:07

so no region will have favor in between these one hour slots? do they really think that titles are maxed that often?

This has to do with GRIND not FARMING. So it should be called Grind Wars. ><

VitisVinifera · Aug 09, 2007, 08:12 PM // 20:12

also, I predict a skyrocket in ecto/shard prices

Sarevok Thordin · Aug 09, 2007, 08:16 PM // 20:16

Sorry Anet, can I ask you to keep the HA link favor system and run it alongside the other one?

Also, add a tab for gamewide broadcasts so there who aren't interested in favor don't have to put up with it.

Taiwan recently had favor, so Europe doesn't have it ALL THE TIME.

its says maxed out titles, i can already see a problem with this. i dont have a single maxed out title across my 10 pve characters.

OBVIOUSLY anet want us visiting FoW and UW less.

im going to reserve my opinion untill i hear about the drop rates inside FoW and UW. because rite now, the mediocre drops inside FoW and UW dont justify me bothering to max out a title.
