I have a suggestion of my own for the drunkard title that would make it fun:
Why not make it so depending on your rank on drunkard, you have drunken effects while wearing the title, or you are drunk? I love the drunken effects. But I am not rich enough to spend money buying liquor every time I possibly can just so I can fail DoA with my guild

/signed only for the Effect Icon(s), Numbers and/or Bars.

That alone would make keeping track of your drunkenness easy enough to PvE with, should you choose to do so and to actually stay drunk without having to mess around with timers to remind you etc.

This weekend is the first time in ages I've actually found it enjoyable to be drinking while playing because it didn't feel like a chore.

/signed for the icon.
The other suggestions are too much to be updated. The benefits and change to drunkness are unneeded and the buffs you suggest for drunken blow etc. are a bit overpowered.

The Drunkard title is too big of a gold-sink. You want a real gold sink? Buy multiple elite armor sets, or buy "leet weapons" from people. Titles do not need to be gold sinks.

I already though about that.

The first rank won't affect level 1 drinks, only level 5 drinks, which CANNOT be bought from merchants, only acquired from drops, collectors or traded, and trades are not gold sinks. In trades gold is not 'destroyed', it is moved from one account to another. Gold sinks are meant to take gold from the economy, not to move it from one account to another.
The second rank would affect level 1 drinks, but in that rank , YOU HAVE ALREADY MAXED the title.

So, there are no 'more cheap to get', only 'more cheap to use once maxed' for PvE skills. And it's already done for other skills to give slight benefits to PvE skills from titles. Once you max the title, you can stay drunk for more time with the same drinks.

currently ingame there is no easy way to tell how drunk you are except to make an educated guess with the onscreen effects...

and if you turn off post processing effects you have no way of knowing apart from your random emotes.

As you can see the current duration left with sweets and tonics, would it be so hard to add an icon for alcohol levels?

In before people QQ'ing about making titles easier.

/signed, because sometimes you are doing other things,chatting in AC, fighting baddies, etc and can't look at your title track every 30 seconds.

Much more thought out, and with a poll! Also the oldest Drunk Icon thread around.

/signed over there, /signed here, /signed for merge of the 4 related threads that are seen in the "Similar Threads" section.

looking at the screen and seeing how blurred it is is an "educated guess" now?

i must be a genious

Like it was mentioned, some people have the effect turned off. Sweets have their own "buffs", so, I do believe adding one for drinking would be nice, because staring at my titles panel to check the minutes to know when to drink again while doing something else...is annoying.

its either looking at the title panel or use a stopwatch, now using a stopwatch isnt that hard, but i can see how it will get tough to focus on that if your doing something else that require your focus. /signed

/signed i dont know why we have to painfully sit there and try and guess how drunk you are.

Tyla · Oct 29, 2008, 02:47 AM // 02:47

I'd rather see this implimented, waiting for the text to stop is pretty annoying and unless you keep track you don't know how long's left. /Signed.

Oh, nice bar.
