I have read all the comments on this post - I have KOABD - and to be honest dont even display it most of the time simply leaving lightbringer on. However, where is the fun in running a race with no end, capping elite after elite with nothing to really show for it except a title people mix up with wisdom or chests - (people have said to me when I had it displayed WOW how many chests u opend!). We are all been sold on the premise that each "chapter is a stand alone...." fine then it makes sense to have stand alone max titles. As for the strange claim that this will somehow damage the credibility of KOABD - didn't hear any hard core PvP players complain when they had double fame weekends!

The fact remains - to cap every skill in a chapter is a remarkable achievment that will not be the norm, - to hug every wall in a chapter is a remarkable achievment that will not be the norm - and to complete every mission and bonus in a chapter is a remarkable achievment that will not be the norm - multiply by atm 3 and u still have one hell of a title to be proud of. Those guys already with KOABD will want to push on to PKM anyway!!! And I dont feel sorry for those who will lose a title but celebrate with them the fact that with a little application they can max out!

Ignore any smelling mistooks plz off work with heavy cold TY!!!

I see far too many Kind of a Big Deal titles on players who havent truly earned it. Chapter pecific titles would help out quite a bit (I like the idea of International Explorer as I love to find every nook and cranny of every map). Also they should do away with account based titles, make every title character based.

The major problem I have with titles is a lot of people are trying to make them a lot more serious and important than they really are. Kind of a Big Deal is not supposed to be like earning some sort of video game Nobel Peace prize, it's merely something fun to do with your characters if you're so inclined.

Actually this is something I don't aggree with and even think some title should be moved from char based to account based.

One I think that should be account based is:

Wisdom Seeker => should be account based (what do people do now, they only id with one char making alot of logon/logoff that could be avoided = alot of extra transmitting of data)

The pvp ones should remain account based too: fame, ... (just imagine having fame char based, that would simply be like a bad horror movie)

otherwise Guildwars would just become one big grindfest for titles over and over again.

Maybe something else that could be considered is a way to orden your titles, because now it's one big mess of title, if you could order them in a way that the ones completed the most are on top, it would be alot easier to see your progress on the title your working on.

Just my 2 eurocents

Yay making it possible to accually max skill hunter! But can it also be changed to account wise? I really don't see why I would cap monk skills with my warrior or visa versa...

Also, could you maybe also make the titles that affect your salvaging account based?

Oh well, even if you don't change those, the change that your having us vote on is a huge improvment as far as titles(IMO).

NeHoMaR · Nov 24, 2006, 08:25 AM // 08:25

Why people insist "Kind of a Big Deal" is hard to get? If you already have Tyria and Cantha explorer and protector when buy Nightfall, it's a matter of a few days and you (and thousands of people) will have that "Kind of a Big Deal" with explorer/protector of Elona. I am not telling get explorer/protector is easy, but I know thousands already have it, the only you need for "Kind of a Big Deal" is the 3 chapters and just play the game (PvE)

Calen The Civl · Nov 25, 2006, 07:48 PM // 19:48

I think the splitting of the Skill Hunter title is a good idea.

However, I would also like to see some way to organize the titles. Perhaps, like has been suggested, a tabbed based approach based on each game and leaving a "Global" tab for account based titles. A hiding option too would be nice.

Prince Rakarth · Nov 25, 2006, 08:57 PM // 20:57

i think that having international explorer is a good idea, but having seperate skil hunter titles isnt because this would make stuff like 'kind of a big deal' pretty easy to get and getting max elite caps on proh wouldnt be hard either as there arnt that many to it, you just need to know where to go.

Than EVERYBODY would have skill hunter title, would be insanely lame.

Talal Flint · Nov 25, 2006, 10:32 PM // 22:32

Hi everyone,

Wouldnt it be possible to have BOTH of these title options - one title that adds up all the skills you have capped on that char, and other titles that count the skills capped in each campaign? That way individuals could chose which one they want to display and could also work towards KOABD title.

Gaile - Would this be a possible option?

*Darcy* · Nov 25, 2006, 10:35 PM // 22:35

I voted yes for separate titles, not that I'm anywhere near maxing the current one.

But I agree with other posters that:

1. not if it means having to start over and recap skills. To someone who has already capped an immense amount of skills across three chapters, that would be extreme punishment.

2. decide how to handle core skill caps before you make the change.

3. give us a way to shorten our titles list. Maybe with check boxes on the right hand to disable showing them on the list. Everyone has titles that they have no interest in obtaining.

Sergio Leone · Nov 25, 2006, 10:40 PM // 22:40

Obviously didn't read through everything but I voted for the 3 different titles.

I agree if it doesn't mean having to start over again.

My other idea (sorry if repeating) was that perhaps it could implemented that there was one for each campaign then a title that you can have called "Ultimo Supreme 1337 Skill Hunter" (over exaggerated example) that would pertain to achieving Skill Hunter in all 3 Campaigns so once you get every skill capped you can get this title to show you now have all Guild Wars Elites.

Urban_Nomad · Nov 26, 2006, 12:25 AM // 00:25

Hmmm, I like the idea very much, but we're going to need some way to clean out our title page. Personally, I have pretty much every title started somehow (4 minutes of drunkard during halloween) that I don't plan on actually completing. It would be nice if I could get that .2% Tyrian exploration off of my Dervish. It's not a big problem now, but with new chapters and new titles, along with changes like this, It might be nice to arrange them somehow. Maybe a "hide" option in the options menu somehow? I'm not really sure, I'm just rambling. I'm good at rambling.

Zexion · Nov 26, 2006, 12:31 AM // 00:31

While you are at it Gaile. Can you suggest to the developers they make KoaBD account based? Of course, if you have the same title maxed on 2 diff chars, it would only count once. Pretty please?

I like the idea. How would capping core elites work?

Kais Unduli · Nov 26, 2006, 05:20 AM // 05:20

Sure, split them up. Maybe 2 separate title tracks would be a better option.

Clawdius_Talonious · Nov 26, 2006, 05:39 AM // 05:39

where did this concept of starting over come in? Gaile says that those who have skill hunter titles spanning the continents will lose them and have to do some work to get them back. Not that we'd have to re-cap every skill, you can't even cap a skill after it's unlocked on that character... Also when titles were first put into the game, the titles that tracked effort you had already made were skill hunter and cartographer...

Livingston · Nov 27, 2006, 03:02 PM // 15:02

I sooo want to see an international cartography and protector title.

However, for God's sake, please do not give it such a lame name as International Cartographer or International Protector.

If you have to, at least make International Cartographer into International Grandmaster Cartographer.

Personally I would make it Great Grandmaster Cartographer - or Grandmaster of Cartography, etc.

Simply shortening the title and adding international to it doesn't make for a nice displayable title.
