Gfg Anet. Dammit, why make a title (skill hunter, lucky, unlucky) that we can't max during the period they are available for us to earn?

Ge4ce · Jun 30, 2006, 05:44 PM // 17:44

Let's hope ANet is planning to add Disney world or Six Flags.

Hey! Good idea for an expansion theme! "Clowns are taking over Disney World! Save Micky Mouse from danger!"

yeah it's not hard to figure out, I kinda batted this around in another thread...

They're putting out titles there that will go through their 'n' chapters.
Obviously they have plans for this ticket thing - my guess is their holiday exclusives but maybe there will be some kind of offering outside of that.

But yeah per elites, they already have some titles looking ahead.
So no you can't max all titles as it stands.

So be happy with a couple tiers early (if you want 'em) but if you want to go deep you'll have to go deeper with time/investment/even chapters.

edit - huh wierd to see so much disgruntlement.
use some of this negative energy to help get us proper solutions to storage or real ways to trade

Kaguya · Jun 30, 2006, 05:51 PM // 17:51

Oh wow. Wish I knew that before I used 20 plats and most of today in getting the title C_C

How's it weird? If titles are in the game now, you should be able to max them now. End of story.

Plus a lot of people waste money/time/energy early on when new titles come out only to find out after the fact that they can' t max the title. Ie: I thought I could get Survivor when it first came out on my old main character only to come to the disturbing realization that it's not possible much after already spending a lot of time and energy on it. A lot of people thought 1000 minutes was max for Drunkard when it first came out.

It wouldn't kill the devs to post all the relevant information about titles on the official website at the same time titles are put into the game. That way at least people stop being misled by the enticement of what they think is a title they will be able to max. There is no valid reason for this tradition of leaving players in the dark about new titles --- which is ample reason for disgruntlement.

And why do we have to get these bits of from offical GW site of.. Taiwan? Why can't we have as detailed info on these things on the 'official-official' site as well?

Some people like the challenge of a surprise or the research of finding out the mechanics.

I find it much more enjoyable to have to read the boards and do some math to figure out which 'ring' is the best, instead of just having it plastered on the Guild Wars website.

if we knew it from start.. the place where games are would be empty now

so, ANet is taking some gold, then removing the possibility to max it ...
the game ll be dead before u get a chance at maxing this

Death Snapper · Jun 30, 2006, 06:37 PM // 18:37

your still getting the title you knew about, its not like anything is being taken away from you. They obviously wouldent leave the 50000/5000 as highest or "kind of a big deal" wouldent be very big of a deal anymore...

Crotalus · Jun 30, 2006, 06:37 PM // 18:37

You can still play the game without these titles. I am sure no one will exclude you from a group because you don't have a Lucky or Unlucky title.

Although I know this Dragon Festival is based on the Chinese summer festival, but I do not know if that's the reason that GW taiwan was more informative than GW english (or maybe others).

What is it about the Elite Skill Hunter title that makes it impossible? All skills are cappable, right? Am I missing something?

Witchblade · Jun 30, 2006, 06:46 PM // 18:46

what's the point in implementing things u cant get ?

->take gold from ppl before the know it cant be done

why d we start a title if we are aware we wont get it maxed...
i dont care about having a Survivor (1) or Elite Skill hunter (1) on a char

about Elite title.. u ll never get it maxed out unless:

-Anet decides Chapter n° X ll be the last one where u ll get elites
-GW is dead

having it maxed out = having ALL elites = no new elites ever

the really tricky is that u cant do a thing about it ...

-u play by their rules and try to get the titles ? u are goldsinked ! Anet wins
-u dont start the title ? u loose .. u wont get that brand new title and u ll wait for a new easier one (u ll probably never see that happen, even if another ideas are implemented.. )

a monster killing title ? great it's free.. u ll need 1.000 for 1st tier .. probably something more 1.000.000.000.000.000-ish to get the final one

but u know and ll agree that even if the chest title d require 100.000 chests to get maxed, somewhere, a guy ll try to do it ^^

as for the skill hunter title, the reason it's 'impossible' is because they've added tiers to it to where there are more elites in the teir than attainable in the current expansions.

atleast thats how i understand it.

nightwatchman · Jun 30, 2006, 06:49 PM // 18:49

You can't max the skill hunter track at minute as level 4 requires you to cap 225 elites, but there are only 180 elites in the game at mo.

Lilanthe · Jun 30, 2006, 06:52 PM // 18:52

Just great, 2.5million tickets...

Pure madness.

500 000 to max the title would be more realistic, but damn... not two millions.

ZenRgy · Jun 30, 2006, 06:58 PM // 18:58

I don't think people should be too shocked, it's just a big gold sink, and you found out it can get bigger, you knew it was only gonna cost you money and not have any practical use come from it.
