I have had these ideas for some time now, and from what I am seeing GW2 will not be release on shelf till 2009 so that leaves a good years gap between GW:EN and GW2 with nothing but doing what we all have already done. For those veteran players who know what Im talking about youll find these next few ideas to be quite ideal, and for those who have only started playing in the last year these possibilities offer great rewards to your characters as well.

As most of us know titles are a great way to show off what we have done with our time in GW, they tell people where we have been what we have done and how experienced we are in some areas. Most people in TOA wont take a person on an Ursan FoW or UW HM run unless they can show a Rank 10 Slayer of All Title. And lets all face it the fact that we love to flaunt our best titles around town. You know you love it when someone comes up to you and asks how you got it or gives you a complement on achieving such greatness :P

But some of these titles are not obtainable to all characters. Those who have been playing since Beta know what I'm talking about. The Survivor Title and Defender of Ascalon Title are currently out of reach for those players who have a character that dates before these titles were ever introduced thus making it unobtainable. No veteran player wants to delete a character almost 3 years old especially with the new minis coming out in the next few months for those with their 3rd Year B-Day coming. And honestly no player should ever have to do that. So some of my next few ideas offer those old school characters to attain other titles, and they will not be just for those veterans but for new players as well. No one likes being left out of the fun. If any of these title have been mentioned in the past then I am only voicing the popularity and possibly adding my own views to it.

So without further ado I give you 4 possible new titles.

Skill Seeker Title
Time Title
Experience Title
Death Title

Skill Seeker Title:

This title came to me when the Skill Hunter Title was released. It resembles the Skill Hunter Title in many ways but has nothing to do with Elite skills. Instead it is the regular skills implied. Every Campaign has a certain amount of skills some of with replicate others or even are availible in more then one campaign (Core Skills). So what I have done is offer 3 max title one for each campaign as well as another title which represents all campaigns. Each campaign also includes core skills as it did in the Skill Hunter Title.

Tyrian Skill Seeker (365 non-elite skills obtainable)
Canthan Skill Seeker (451 non-elite skills obtainable)
Elonian Skill Seeker (451 non-elite skills obtainable)

Legendary Skill Seeker (all 3 Campaign Skill Seeker Titles obtained)

Now for some reason the GW designers decided to make Lightbringer Signet (PvE only Elite NF skill) a part of the Skill Hunter Title track which makes it so that PvP only characters cannot attain it. I have no sway on weather to add or not add PvE only skills into the equation but I do believe that all characters should be able to obtain this new title.

Time Title:

This title came to me recently and offers an idea not unlike that of the drunkard title and other timed titles. The principle of this title is the amount of time or the age of the character if you will that determines what rank you are at in the title. I would suggest the age part be taken into consideration rather then how much time you have played the game as it would make an excellent title for those characters who pre-dated the Survivor Title Track. The titles rank would go as follows and remain humorous as some other titles do, if you have any ideas on rank names please feel free to offer:

Rank 0
0-2 months old (not a showable title)

Rank 1
3-6 months old
Newbie

Rank 2
7-11 months old
Teenie Bopper

Rank 3
12-18 months old
Quick Learner

Rank 4
19-26 months old
Rising Star

Rank 5
27-35 months old
Veteran

Rank 6
36+ months old
Grandfather Time

Rank 6 will of course be the max title and is only obtained by having a character that is 3 years old.

Experience Title:

This title involves the amount of experience that the character has over that character whole life. You can see this amount buy hitting H. It is a very simple title almost like the Survivor title but it does not depend on you living or dying. The ranks would go as follows:

Rank 0
0-199,999 exp (not a showable title)

Rank 1
200,000-499,999 exp
Clue-less

Rank 2
500,000-999,999 exp
Compass Challenged

Rank 3
1,000,000-2,999,999 exp
I Know Something You Don't Know

Rank 4
3,000,000-7,999,999 exp
Mind Over Matter

Rank 5
8,000,000-14,999,999 exp
Knowledge Is Power

Rank 6
15,000,000+ exp
Rocket Scientist

Rank 6 of course would be the maxed title only obtained by reaching 15 million experience points.

This last Title was introduced to me by a friend I dont completely agree with it as it can be exploited.

Death Title:

This title is almost the opposite of the Survivor Title. It intails the amount of time you have died in the game. You can see this amount by typing /deaths in your chat bar. I dont fully agree with this title because it can be easily done by simply leaving your computer on over night and standing on a res shrine with a mob and dying over and over again. With this being considered I have raised the bar on how many times you must die in order to achieve ranks and maxing this title out. The ranks go as follows:

Rank 0
0-99 deaths (not a showable title)

Rank 1
100-499 deaths
Crash Test Dummy

Rank 2
500-1,499 deaths
Punching Bag

Rank 3
1,500-3,999 deaths
Dirt Nap

Rank 4
4,000-6,999 deaths
No Pain, No Gain

Rank 5
7,000-9.999 deaths
Dead And Loving It

Rank 6
10,000+ deaths
Death's Advocate

Rank 6 of course would be the final title and mazed out title for the Death Title Track.

I hope you all find this to be quite entertaining and maybe someday we will all see a few of these title introduced into the game. Have a great day.

Seems like every day someone comes up with another title idea.

Please ..... NO MORE TITLES!

PvP chars can't get it anyway.

For the titles:
Skill Seeker: Yay for encouraging OCD.
Time Title: Yay for mules w/ max titles.
XP Title: Yay for farmers.
Death Title: Yay for AFK-ing at a res shrine for day or two.

All have been suggested before, all are pretty crappy, m'kay?

MrDark88 · Mar 25, 2008, 10:24 PM // 22:24

I kinda like the Experience and Deaths titles. The Time title is "meh", and the Skill title would be just another buyable title.

Likelytodie · Mar 25, 2008, 10:25 PM // 22:25

These all seem strangely familiar. o.O

noty /notsigned

MithranArkanere · Mar 25, 2008, 10:33 PM // 22:33

Rargh.

The only title that is really left is the 'questing' title. And it is not planned to be made in near future.

Anything else would be just grind titles or pointless titles...

suitcasewilliams · Mar 25, 2008, 10:35 PM // 22:35

Skills Seeker Title DEFINITLY /signed
Time Title excellent for veteran players /signed
Exp Title too simple and makes farming even more obsolet /notsigned
Death Title I agree with Lexx /notsigned

Love the rank names too

lol

Lexxguard · Mar 25, 2008, 10:39 PM // 22:39

/notsigned

skill title, majority of people will just ebay their gold and get that title with in 15 mins.
time title, pointless another title that has no use and you dont need to do anything to get it.
xp title, super easy to get 15 mil xp, HFFing pulls in 2k xp every min or so (depending on speed of run).
death title, what the hell is with people wanting a death title, is it to show how much you suck? AFK at rez shrine, you'll have it overnight

these are just 4 titles that are pointless and if added would make getting GWAMM close enough to the same as getting GHSRM.

STOP TRYING TO COME UP WITH NEW TITLES!!!!!!!!

Vic · Mar 25, 2008, 11:31 PM // 23:31

Skill Seeker Title - /signed, I've been thinking about this myself.

Time Title - Good idea, but alot of mules would have the title

How about 1 year for r1, 2 years for r2, and 3 years for r3? /signed tho.

Experience Title - Suggested so many times /notsigned

Deaths Title - Everybody that's a legendary defender would have this ^^ /notsigned

That, plus i honestly do not like any of the titles suggested in this thread anyways. There's a few here i can deal with, but not these.

Konig Des Todes · Mar 26, 2008, 03:02 AM // 03:02

Skill Seeker /signed
Time Title /signed get something more then a mini pet, and make it PvE characters only, also, to help prevent mules from getting it, you only get the title once reaching r1 KoaBD.
Experience /maybe signed, too exploitable but I like the idea
Deaths /notsigned

Chaos55 · Mar 26, 2008, 03:10 AM // 03:10

Skill Seeker /signed

The rest /unsigned

The skill seeker sounds good. Will probably cause an increase in demand and market increase for them, not necessary a bad thing. The other titles are extremely easy to gain and easier titles will result in more r6 KoaBD characters.

Add in a r7 and r8 and we should be fine in that case.
