@Kook: This has nothing to do with SS or LB.

@Songbringer: Read the title. This is only for old prophecies characters. Other non-prophecies characters have their own advantages in their own campaign that the other characters are not entitled to.

Maybe not the nicest way to put it, but a good idea. I'd go for that, roll a new char and get it on that instead.

i know it wasn't directed at me but i'm curious as to what non-prophecies characters have in their own campaigns that other characters aren't entitled to? to my knowledge the only title that cannot be gotten by a character from any campaign is the LDoA title. i realize that if you don't have say factions you can't get kurzick or luxon but that is kind of irrelevant since if you don't have all the campaigns plus expansion it will really difficult to get GWAMM anyway

The titles is actualy tranished just like Legndary Survivor..........its doesnt even impress me anymore. Anet ruind those two titles.

There was no LDOA title to begin with, it was added later on. There was no prestige attached to LDOA to begin with, GWAMM has much more respect than death levelling.

/notsigned for time machine
/not signed more than else for account wide (it really means something background-wise for the char I have it with, sure I don't want it shared with all my other chars, some of wich never seen pre at all)
/signed however for not making it count towards gwamm. After all is a title with its own pecularity, it would be nice having it by itself and not "one more point for gwamm"...and so all the fairness arguement would be over too

Lavender Ice · Apr 03, 2012, 08:18 AM // 08:18

I'm stuck at 27 titles, getting LDoA would be nice. Not everyone can just go ahead and buy sweet tooth/ drunkard/ party animal titles.

They should also make Survivor the way it was before (you die, you DIE, not hard getting 1,337,500xp through normal play). The new survivor title is absurd.

/signed for accountwide LDoA

As the age of a game progresses, there should be new and exciting challenges, while older challenges should become easier so that more players can experience it. Sure I love listening to old grandpa tell us about a time when cars went 40 max and life was easy, but times are a changing.

Just an idea. but like being said, maybe it's an idea to don't let this title (nor any other pre-searing title count for GWAMM but make a different title track for pre all together. So far there are more titles in pre then only ldoa.

So why not make a Champion of the green hills-title?
1 title in pre: monkey of the green hills (reference to gate monkey)
2 title in pre: Traveler of the green hills
3 titles in pre: Guardian of the green hills
4 titles in pre: Protector of the green hills
5: titles in pre: Champion of the green hills.

Eligable titles would be be, LdoA, Survivor, Drunken, sweet tooth, party animal.

A reward could be that you can obtain a elite armor skin in pre (only the skin, the stats should be the same as collectors armor)

Not a bad idea, you know? Nice thought.

fires element · Apr 03, 2012, 04:15 PM // 16:15

kinda disagree about sweets and such. i would guess only the most dedicated perma-pre people even go for those titles while there so that would eliminate 3 other titles for those in post. another eligible title to point out would be treasure hunter since golden eggs also drop in pre and count towards that title taking away another title that is also account wide

Gabs88 · Apr 03, 2012, 04:43 PM // 16:43

No reason not to allow all characters from all campaigns to earn LDoA title. Storyline wise you could just say they visited prophecies earlier in their life..

I am all for more titles. Even though I can easily get party animal/drunkard/sweet tooth, the purpose of this thread is to open up more options to reach GWAMM than through mere cons.

Currently for GWAMM you usually need party animal, drunkard and sweet tooth too (if you dont have any account-wide titles). Personally I think these cons titles are silly. They serve no purpose in the story, no skill advantage, and it is only about spending gold to acquire said items, stand in town and click a bunch of stuff multiple times. Yay...the challenge of acquiring cons titles....

Dewshine Wildclaw · Apr 03, 2012, 08:48 PM // 20:48

I actually found the party, sweet and drunk titles fun little side thing to do... farming stuff at events, actually having fun with the tonics, a lot of sweets can be useful while doing other stuff, dp removal, or boosts of some kind. I get that to do it that way which I did it takes a lot more time... but just saying it doesn't have to be about buying them and spamming repeatedly in town. Don't really understand why people hate on these titles so much

I know... off topic and I don't have anything in particular to add to the actual topic... sorrehs.

fires element · Apr 03, 2012, 09:05 PM // 21:05

as dewshine pointed out some of the sweets do serve a purpose. and as for no skill advantage there are several skills that synergize with being drunk when activating the skill

How were the first players in pre-searing suppose to know what they would be giving up on in the future?

And you totally missed my point (and spelled my name wrong).

If you would like me to repeat maybe the titles were still in development. I assume Anet is allowed to alter a game they made, no?

MithranArkanere · Apr 04, 2012, 01:34 AM // 01:34

To be hones I would not mind if not just this one, but ALL titles became account wide.

The only exceptions would be reputation titles. They'll be characters based until the HM rank is reached, (e.g.: 6 lightbringer, 8 norn) and then become account wide, so they don't gain benefits unless they progress in the story, but don't have to grind to the max with more than one character.

So it is the player's fault for not knowing the future back in early 2005 when they left pre-searing? To make an informed decision, people have to have clear and accurate information. I hope you are not suggesting that Sir Tydus's dialogue text constitutes "clear and accurate information" to the players who, therefore, knew EXACTLY what they would be giving up should they choose to leave pre-searing back in early 2005. Otherwise, if we dont have CLEAR and ACCURATE information, how can you claim that we have made an informed decision then?

Given the fact that titles didn't exist back then, many players made the decision to leave pre-searing at lower levels. Sure, ANet can alter the game so as to screw them up and make them regret that decision. Or ANet can recognize that many players would want to earn the LDoA title, now that it is available, and allow them to earn it with characters who have already left pre-searing before the title was available to them.

@Dewshine: Granted that, unlike myself, some of you may enjoy pursuing the cons titles. But I would like to see more options for maxed titles available to PvEers in the pursuit of GWAMM that do not require the cons titles or maxed account-wide titles.

That would be terrible. First of all some like pursuing titles more than once. But most importantly the titles that really indicate something on the continent: imagine a legendary cartographer with all maps uncleared, guardian with no missions done, vanquisher who never even did hm...
I would be all for making account wide titles that are too restrictive if char only, like consumables one, which are not much different from lucky, wisdom etc tbh, but not for those that specifically mean something about char interaction with the world.

to my count you can get a maximum of 28 titles even if they DID let people go back and get LDoA. so you would still have to get either 2 account titles or 2 consumable titles. so either cons or account are required if you want to get gwamm

Yes you are right, but at least having LDoA would mean that we can skip Sweet Tooth. And if ANet creates 2 more new titles that are more relevant to the game play than just standing in town and clicking away, we can skip Party Animal and Drunkard also, that would be a bonus.
