voted yes although I'd rather have they didn't exist at all. I find them totally retarded.

Mind you I don't want Anet to remove them now, I don't want to spoil other players fun. After all it only bothers me by making that tittles screen so damn big.

But since they exist, yes they should should be account based.

The main point in making titles account-based is evening the chances and rewarding for players who prefer to play multiple characters than just one. Currently single char players are having major advantages thanks to mainly how some titles work.

These 3 titles are however by far the least important factor in this problem, but I still voted Yes, because that's would still be a straight improvement. No longer would certain consumables used just for their effect on characters other than the main title maker would feel 'wasted' and you could just fire some fireworks when you feel it, without first having to relog to your title char.

its really annoying feeling obligated not to use the ales for drunken master on a char thats not the one I hunt titles on. Not being able to mess around with party items or sweets is an annoyance as well, not like many people really go for this on more than one character anyway.

How much gold a title takes
How much grind
How much of anything isn't the point.

If I eat sweets all day should my Brother get fat
If my sister drinks should the whole family get drunk

No

So what is your reasoning behind it

So its hard so what
So its expensive so what

Is anyone forcing you to do it more than once not so far as I can see.

There is a small justification whereby characters who gain titles that confer game benefits on one character would like to try that part of the game with other classes without going through all the grind again.

I sympathise with that problem and it would be nice to allow them to do that.
Perhaps a way will be found where some shortcut can be found to let them do that.
Otherwise a title is won by one character and any benefits shouldn't pass across the account to do so would remove any character differences you might as well allow everything to transfer.

Amen.

Really, those titles take fun away from what is supposed to be fun diversion.

stale · Jul 10, 2008, 07:34 AM // 07:34

same sentiment as the last thread, but different reasons. they're titles you bought. no effort, no skill - no accomplishment. let them go account wide - title's are dickless anyway, so why not?

duckboy · Jul 10, 2008, 08:30 AM // 08:30

/signed and voted yes :P

reason: they count towards the KoaBD title so are usefull for me main character, but since my main will only want to show KoaBD, those titles will be left un-shown, which is a shame for the amount of money involved in getting them. I think my monk looks like a little drunkard, so should i be made to get drunkard twice, once for him and once for me main to add another point to KoaBD? no i say, once I have gotten it, shouldn't my account show this, not just the character i chose to drink it with, since all my characters are a reflection of what i have achieved?

Brimstonez · Jul 10, 2008, 09:38 AM // 09:38

Sweet Tooth/Party Animal...no, they should be player based.
Drunkard...yes, that one takes a long time to achieve, even with the warping.

BlackSephir · Jul 10, 2008, 10:48 AM // 10:48

Bhav, all grind based titles should be acc based. I know it, you know it, AN probably doesn't. Same old, same old.

Wow, where's logic in that? These titles are the same, gather enough items, use them. And yet only 1 gets to be acc based?
wat?

N1ghtstalker · Jul 10, 2008, 10:51 AM // 10:51

no
they're a dumb title to show you got money blablabla

agreed, like many often times in countless other threads about this annoying topic, that needs finally to be fixed for the sake of the gameplay of this game, that GW becomes again m,ulti character friendly.

Making those titles toon based was one of anets biggest fails and a terrible game design catastrophe.
All those darn Grind Titles belong together with the HoM to be account based.

This has be countless of times discussed and whenever a poll has been made, the amount FOR THE CHANGE was incredible HIGHER, than all those ignorant NO QQ'ners.

How often must we show still anet, that this shit has to be changed, until they will finally recognize our frustation about this retarded grind and they willm ove their lazy asses to brign us our highly wished Change...

its really weird, that anet reacts like a 1000 times faster un such shit, like nerfing a silly FARMING SKILL, like SF, than to improve the god damn gameplay of the game by making those grind titles account based and with that action to follow their Joke-Philosophy of an "Anti-Grind Game" ...

It's endless if you're not buying them, and buying titles = fail
So i prefer buying this title for all my account instead of 8 characters.

The titles have no functionality, and therefore don't need to be maxed or progressed to have an upper hand in anything, except in having maxed titles. If the aim is to have more r6 KoaBDs on your account, you should have to pay multiple times for these titles.

MagmaRed · Jul 10, 2008, 05:21 PM // 17:21

Some of the items used to get these titles have benefits for using them. For instance, a Candy Cane will remove death penalty, and award points for Sweet Tooth. If you want to get the title currently, you would only use those items on the one character. This means you do not get the benefit of those consumables when using a different character. Skills now make use of Drunk [drunken master], so again, you would not use a consumable one certain characters.

Let us freely use multiple characters!

Drunkard/Sweet Tooth/Party Animal aren't gold sinks at all, so there goes your theory.

Gold sink is something that puts gold back into the game itself, this is just giving your gold to another player, which is not a gold sink.

Unless of course, if you buy all your dwarven ales from the Merchant, which I doubt, as you can get them from players just as easily for cheaper.

The way it is now, there is just no way you can get the full titles with festivals, no way. That means you have to buy the rest to max your title= complete waste imo. This is just not possible for people who don't play often enough to have big bulks of money.

The only way these titles work in this setup, is too make 'something' that can get you all the Alcohol/sweets or party items by doing quests, or something else. That way you can EARN your title, which gives much more respect I think.

So therefore, signed. Will only change my mind if they make the titles more reasonable to get.

FlibbyJibbits · Jul 10, 2008, 05:44 PM // 17:44

As it is now, you can't really use any of the items on characters other than your main one, or else it sets you back a hundred gold or two or a run through snowmen. So, if for some reason I had to go back and forth through a city from a few different places for some reason, and wanted to move a bit faster, I wouldn't be able to without "losing out" on however many sweet tooth points the speed boost was worth, or if I wanted to shoot off a few fireworks in the guild hall after a win, again, I wouldn't be able to if not on the character who is already working on the track.
And theres not really any good reason not to, since they don't have any real benefit other than a little statue in the hall of monuments. And besides, a few titles that do have benefits already are account based, such as lucky, zaishen, kurz/lux, and the pvp titles.

Elder III · Jul 10, 2008, 05:59 PM // 17:59

no, No, NO for love of all that's good and holy.... NONONO

guess I'm in the minority, but i feel that making those titles account based cheapens them.... My Warrior would not think so much of being "Drunkard" if my other 10 chars could share the same title without having done one bit of work for it. /:

*also if it was account based the gold farmers in China might die of hunger < think about it and you'll figure it out*

So you would rather sit and drink for 10000 minutes on everyone of your characters to achieve this title on each one? Good for you.

How does it cheapen it anymore then getting the titles once? You still need to spend the same amount of money and time to max the title on an account as you have to on a single character.

Again, unless you are actually trying to individually max the title on every character you have (lol), making it account based would in no way cheapen the title.
