I don't know the total number of elite skills in GW surely a lot, but not only in two combined profession, you are forgetting there are ghosts in desert atm to change your secondary profession, so you can have every profession skill actually unlocked on your first character doing pve.

/sarcasm on

Yes and it's just so much fun to not only cap every elite, but cap every elite for every single character, even those that don't make any sense, particularly all those useless ones in primary skills of other classes too!

/sarcasm off

Reward/title for things sane people would actually do IMO
And aren't I more the PvEr having used more characters to do more, rather than one? Meanwhile PvP rewards go cross-account, and last time I looked you could do a lot of serious GvG w/o touching HoH and fame.

Anyways I'll reserve more judgement until we see this beast at release.

so my ele with all core professions skills unlocked every missions bonus quest outpuse and square mm of the map uncovered will get some form of recognition?

dreamhunk · Apr 26, 2006, 04:14 PM // 16:14

I have to say i like this idea too. I would to have anciet for being around since beta :P

They should've just saved the trouble and make only two titles for everyone:

either L33T or N00B. See how people feel about that.

I don't see a title speaking to that yet so you'll still have the same problem.
Unless I missed a title based on faction or GvG wins...

Don't worry, if they even put in a title for map exploration and completed quests, GvG will be in there, too.

There are a total of 160 elites for all the proffessions combined..(with the factions released 20 for each of the 8 classes)

and since you can change your secondary proffession at any time after you do the quests to do so...you can use all the elites you want....

the kickers is: some will be less efective if they belong to a primary attribute of another proffession:

Ex: Spell breaker (uses Divine favor) so non monks will only get a 5 second benifit out of it....

But that's not the point , the point is to say you did it!

And yes they have titles for the PvP stuff: don't worry....even though the PvE'r still get jipped on rank and fame....which is why it would have been fine with me if titles where a PvE only sort of thing.

ANET LISTEN:

PVE"RS WANT THEIR OWN SPECIAL THING THAT PVP CANT GET....EITHER THAT OR GIVE THEM ACCESS TO A WAY OF EARNING RANK AND FAME....EVEN MY 7 YEAR OLD CAN SEE IT"S NOT FAIR.....

I used my rank emote, and my seven year old daughter asked how she could get one....she never does pvp and does not like it...I told her it was for pvp only and she was like:

"Well that's not ver fair now is it, do I get anything special?" She Said

I said "No."

She Said. "Well that's not fair."

I said "Yeah I know."

good day

back to your cave troll.

Honestly, these ranks are much beter then the pvp one, because any Iway farmer can get a high rank.

For instance one time this guy told me he was a Rank 2 and I was like: meh ok so long as you know what to do. We ended up fighting the altar map with the rez orb. The idiot runs up, picks up the rez orb then drops it on the ground (despite him being a warrior). This occurence isn't isolated, the number of low ranked players demonstrating this kind of idiocy has forced me to impose rank limitations (I'm rank 11 but I accept as low as Rank 3 people now but nothing less).

Ah so i guess you was a good player when you started ?

Zexion · Apr 26, 2006, 05:43 PM // 17:43

One thing you have not though of yet. What if a person unlocked every single skill through PvE before the Balth Faction came out? He would perhaps only be able to get a max of, say, 30000 faction. However, he is now a hardcore PvPer, and among the best. Yet, he cannot gain more than 30000 faction.
Do you see where I am going? A faction title is NOT a good idea, since there is a cap; I, for example, capped at 113.500 faction. So I, for example, will likely never be able to get a, say, 500.000 faction title.

How many hours?
And I imagine it was a little easier on the cash and skill points farming UW, no?

lyra_song · Apr 26, 2006, 08:04 PM // 20:04

I wish you had the option of custom titles.

Like...once you get ALL the titles ^^

Samueldg · Apr 26, 2006, 08:13 PM // 20:13

is this title system retro active?

GunnerMan1 · Apr 26, 2006, 09:20 PM // 21:20

I think its a cool idea because it gives people something to work for besides how much gold they can get. I do aggree it will bring the HA eliteism to PvE, wich I don't like. Its not that I am worried about it because my chars prolly have enough of a lot of things to get some good titles but im not a group former. I like to join them and if I can I help noobs anytime I can. My mission is not to keep noobs a noob because I cant take 15 mins of the double digit hours I spend playin to give them a word of advice. If all of you rank 3,4,5,6,7,8,....... all decided to form a group and take 1 or 2 nubs a day for 3 runs in HA they would be far less abundant.

Seriously, I have been waitin for this for a long time. I mean I GvG with some high guilds yet I'm not R3 therefore I'm a noob in every aspect of the game. Well not anymore, Ty anet.

TheYellowKid · Apr 26, 2006, 09:39 PM // 21:39

i dont see why it would promote elitism when u can turn them on and off and pick which one 2 show.. seems a lot more effort to get someone to change the title so u can see it then it is to jus get people to flash their emote, and it doesnt equate to anything in terms of ur skill especially as they are player and not account based (*i think*).. personally ill be doing what ive always done and take whoevers goin, if we fail a mission we fail if not its all good

Silas Verdeii · Apr 26, 2006, 10:31 PM // 22:31

i see alot of people complaining about elitism or title requirements. the reality is that some of this will happen no matter what rewards exist in the game.

some will require a certain lvl(as if a lvl 20 is sooo much more powerful than a lvl 19) others will require rank, others now will require titles.

for those that care that much about having the "best" group possible, they'll keep doing it whatever the system is, but honestly, i think most people in the game don't really care or don't care enough to really be a problem. a good group of well coordinated rankless, title-less, lvl 19s are better than a ego filled disorganised group of champions anyday.

so really, go for the titles if you want, or if you don't like them, ignore them, but worrying about elitism is silly because i still think most people get over it pretty quick
