That, offically, blows.

The 4*4 are best for losing right? I may just stick with Lucky then go for Cursed. "Blessed" looks too far away.

What are other people's thoughts?

Which ring do all you guys stand on, cuz when I stand in the corner, and have a full stash of tickets on the 3x3 I run out of tickets very fast....So which ring do you guys stand on, and maybe give a screenie or diagram?

Cheers,

I'm tempted to start a petition to change these titles. I'd go for blessed if there wasn't suck a huge problem with Error 059s.

At least get something more interesting then Favored and Unfavoured! They are just terrible! I sunk in a fair bit of cash to get to Jinxed and now I find it's just a bad title.

I don't see how.

No matter where you stand on the 4*4, you have a 56.25% chance of losing.

The corner ring on 3*3, you have a 66.66% chance of losing.

Any corner is fine. I find 2k tickets last me just about all day /all night.

Aye. Not sure what to replace Favoured with, but "Jinxed" is certainly better than "Unfavoured".

Ah well. There's always next year to jump to Blessed and Cursed.

GAAAAAHHH... I deserve to just have GOD OF JINX now.... god dammit, spent at least 100+k on this crap, only at 155k / 9k .. my ration W:L went from 17 to 16 within like 6 hours lost so many tickets at least 8 stacks had to move to the goddamn 16 square... I hate that it annoyed me at all, I need to quit already.

So, well... my next 2000 tickets will get me the title for sure! Nope. The next 2000 tickets brought me another 16k! Making it 48k in total. Then I bought another 500 which got me 50,000 tickets won in total. And after I got the title I had 650 tickets left. The world is hella cruel.

Wow, that's bad.
I bought 1000 tickets and went afk for 13 hours. Had ~700 tickets left and 48k tickets won when I came back. Then it went pear-shaped and by the time I got the title there was only about 150 left.

ugh, i'm disappointed. originally was going to go for "Lucky" and "Jinxed" because they sounded cool, but now at lvl2 "Unlucky" and find lvl3 is called "Unfavored" ugh... the "poor translation from taiwan website" sounded better than what it's officially called. sigh, oh well. guess this means i'll be saving a little money.

Eet GnomeSmasher · Jul 02, 2006, 05:49 PM // 17:49

Glad that Im not the only one to think that "unfavoured" sounds bland. Im at tier 2 and was expecting that tier3 was "jinxed"

MadOnion · Jul 02, 2006, 06:13 PM // 18:13

"Unfavored" is a bit bland... Heck, I like the sound of "Hapless" better than "Unlucky", maye that's where I'll stay :-P

About time...I finally got 250,000 tickets won and gained the Favored title. Cheers!

Why does that say "Prosperous" for tier 4? Man, that's just as bad as "Unfavored" and wayyyy worse than "Favored".

Why does Wiki always let "any old wrong, crap info" get posted?

Btw for those of you who want Unfavored to be renamed to Jinxed, I made a petition about that last night. Maybe if enough people voice their discontent about that it will be renamed to Jinxed.

Prosperous? eeeek awful

Peewee · Jul 03, 2006, 09:56 AM // 09:56

I thought this game was about skill, rather than time spent playing. Or rather in this case, how much money you can afford to spend on tickets, and how long you can leave your PC ilding. Nice one ANET.

(Still sour about missing Pet)

For the record, anybody that can afford to get any of these titles, especially the latter unlucky ones, is most def not unlucky. I deserve a 'Jinxed' title for losing my pet in the first 10 mins of the Dragon Arena, trying my hand at the 9 rings game, and losing ALL my 500 tickets in 5 minutes.

Anyway, good luck to all you people who want these titles, i for one have had pretty rotten luck, and my lack of a title prooves it...

Lucky tier counts tickets won, unlucky tier counts games lost. You'd rather lose 2 tickets each time, than 10. Even though 9 rings theoretically should give you 85 tickets back for each 90 spent, you'll often find yourself losing tickets a lot faster than that.
I suppose getting 100.000 tickets or so and stand in the same spot might give you a more statistically correct result though.

just saw the wiki update ..

all those names are confirmed ?

In that case, maybe I deserve "Loved" for spending 250k on Favored + Unlucky, and getting err7'd three nights in a row idling, wasting me quite a lot of time.

I partly agree, not every single aspect of this game has to go in line with the skill aspect... what's wrong with having sth that requires you to be afk or grind for some time?

Slainster · Jul 03, 2006, 11:22 AM // 11:22

I had also hoped it would be capped at about 3 levels.. now it looks like it can go on forever.. will Anet confirm what the levels are f0r us? That would be really nice

I'm wondering that too.

How the heck did they find out about "Loved" and "Hated" considering that no one has gotten to tier 4 that I've seen?

Did "some guy just make those up off the top of his head and then post it", like happened with tier 4 that was wrongly listed as "Blessed" until Dojo Belok proved in this thread that it was not.

I refuse to believe Wiki's info for "Cursed", "Hated", and "Loved" being the actual titles until someone actually provides some hard evidence for that.

While I'm at it, how the heck do they know that "Kind of a Big Deal" is a max level title? Has that been proven or is that too another case of "some guy made it up off the top of his head then posted it"?
