~the rat~

That would be a good reason to have the icon in the corner of the screen. I tried questing while drunk one time and I couldn't ever remember to keep drinking. I got preoccupied with things like killing the enemies before they kill me.

Same here. You'd be surprised how quickly you get the level 1 title, especially in GW:EN where many of the PvE only skills are linked to being drunk.

QFT, I'm an avid title hunter but right now even if I had millions of gold to spend I wouldn't get IAH. It takes too long and the "window of opportunity" trick seems pretty complicated. If it were just buy then click ~10,000 times I could deal with it. As long as the same amount of alcohol is needed then what's the problem?

I say lets not change anything; amount of alcohol needed, minutes to points etc. Can agree that is a rather stupid money sink and time-consuming title of course - but this is what the drunkard title is! Those who get it, shows a enormous dedication to the game, both in money and time spent. Sweet Tooth is a easier title > which means "less" dedication.

BUT! Having to remember the level of drunkness - constantly watching your title increase; is just way beyond beliveable.

For changes to the title itself /unsigned!
For the add of a icon telling the level of drunkness definiatly /SIGNED!

Shadowmoon · Nov 21, 2007, 12:26 AM // 00:26

most the people i talk to who got the title did one of two things:
exploited the zone bug( which has now been half fixed, makign it unreliable)
or Drunkard Bot
i know very few people who actually did it legit to get IAH.
Say go to point system liek sweet tooth.

With thanksgiving near, it would give a good reason for us to give 'thanks' while gulping the stuff we got during the event.

Most important: Effect icon.
Secondary: Make it into point system, or increase the time 'buffer' of drinks you got. So you can drink 50 beers and spend 47 minutes drunk.

Currently staying drunk while using skills that benefit from drunk is annoying and sometimes a matter of luck, so you don't lose the drunkenness before using the skills.

As I'm Sitting here staring at my character slowly ticking off my drunkard points I thought to myself how nice it would be if there was a little number box in the status area that would tell me JUST how drunk I actually was, that-a-way I would not be wasting my booze. I figure it can't be a completely original idea. So I look it up on the forums and sure enough here it is... along with some other nice little tweaks.
I REALLY like this idea, but I don't think it or any of the others in the forum are likely to be implemented, mainly because GW2 is right around the corner. Anyways.
Kudo's to you for a great idea!

genofreek · Dec 23, 2007, 07:52 AM // 07:52

I have yet to figure out why your character can apparently consume hundreds of cookies, bottles of soda, candy apples and the equivalent of 16 pies, but god forbid they have more than three or four drinks at a time. That's pretty much the only reason I'm /signing this. :P

It's tedious as hell, but I tend to keep the title track window open (but GOD I'd love a status icon) and drink as I farm rep points in EOTN. I'd so much prefer just chugging this obscene amount of booze I've been holding and adding to for over a year now. :P

MithranArkanere · Dec 23, 2007, 01:48 PM // 13:48

I currently have to go drinking while playing, and it's almost impossible to get to know how much and when I've drank.

Most of the time, the alcohol gets wasted, so it ends up like five times harder than sweet tooth, instead more or less the same.

Phoenix Tears · Dec 23, 2007, 03:48 PM // 15:48

way too much titles of GW are imo concepted for way to long effort ..as if Anet would say:

"When you want to reach this title..then you have to play our game for x years and to mutate into a hardcore powergamer...you have to play. to farm.to grind for at least 8 hours per day to be worth the title >.>"

where we are at title change of sweet tooth and drunkard ..

i also think..these 2 titles could resally need more RANKS ..come on..both titles have only 2 ranks oO
how silly is that, when you see. that most all other titles have like 10 ranks...

why can't anet just put more ranks between 1000 and 10000 points (minutes)

something like this for example:

1000
2000
3000
4000
5000
6000
...
10000

and bang those titles would also have 10 ranks...and the players would receive over tiem a better feeling of a raising progess ..

when you have to grind/farm from 1000 to 10000 ..the time needed/spent times feels so endless..but with mork ranks bettween..you have at least the fealing of getting quicker further..when you see. how you rise from rank to rank..ever 1 step nearer to your goal

however. i can sign only again.. that drunkard title needs to be changed from minutes to points.. to take out the stupid time point about this title..so that the player just needs to drink only the alk...but hasn#t t wait for the minutes to be counted

Example:

1000 I love Alcohol
2000 Where's my Whisky?
3000 A Treasure for Rum ..Yoho
4000 Wotka for Life
5000 Gimme Ouzo!!
6000 Beer oh lovely Beer HURRAH
7000 One Jägermeister for me please
8000 Wow crazy these Cocktails
9000 Nothing is better, than an ancient Wine
10000 I sold my Soul for Alcohol

and something similar funny for Sweettooth then ....

Turn of post processing effects, it then dosn't show the drunken effect. As for the suggestions, i guess they would be good, but im on 7'000 from just drinking while playing, which includes vanquishing, and dungeons. So its a not-signed from me.

MithranArkanere · Dec 23, 2007, 07:11 PM // 19:11

Yup... let's have a briefing:

- Either increase by item consumption just like sweet tooth or have a higher buffer, so you can use more beberages at the same time without having to check it every single minute. In real life, you drink some time and get drunk for a whole while.
- Effect icon. So people that can't paly with Post-processing can know if hey are drunk or not. Specially if the effect icon has a 'timer' bar.
- More ranks, without increasing the max. It could be, at least:
* 1,000.
* 3,000.
* 6,000.
*10,000

I want to add one more:
- Make a change like the gladiator, doubling the points for those that already have some, so the title works just like the sweet tooth:
* 1,000.
* 2,000.
* 5,000.
* 9,000.
* 14,000.
* 20,000.

That should make the title... eh... how do you say that... 'consistent'.

I am currently doing the drunkard title the good old hard way and i am not signing this because like already mentioned you can getting it by just playing the game, doing quests missions, vanquishing areas. and come on 167 hours isnt that long for a title.

/notsinged

wetsparks · Dec 23, 2007, 10:30 PM // 22:30

167 HOURS isn't that long for a title?!?! What one title (not including pvp) takes that long? Including the part where it is 167 hours of doing it and farming the money for it.

when you have to permanently double click an item every x minutes over these 167 hours..than those 167 hours feel like 167000 hours ...

thats a thing..which can easily changed by making out of minutes just points and this change would make the whole title also alot lesser annoying .... and time consuming at all

the only thign what would be left..what is really enough is the "cost factor" of this gold sink title ... what other is this title not ...

this title requires no skill ... it requires atm only lots of senseless time and huge amounts of gold..as long you receive all your alcohol over time not by other ways that cost you no money at all. like zaishen keys ..

would require still 3334 zaishen keys. which have to drop for you firewaters to reach the 10000 Minutes after 10k minutes oO

but get first so much zaishen keys ..3334*5000 Balth Points = 16670000 Balthazar faction points...so 16,67 Million Balthazar Points ...

wtf should ever reach so much ????

Hmm...let us think of someone..who plays at xunlai bids and gets every month 50 points --that are 10 Zaishen-K ...

that would be 333,4 Months of taking part on the xunlai bids..or 27,78 YEARS !!!

so this is sure no way.. so you have to farm for gold to buy you so much alcohol as you can. u have to use every way ingame to gather as much as ascohol together..as you can..just to reduce the time effort as much as possible and then you want still..that the player has to waste f.ucking time..for minutes..until the drunk alscohol will count for the title finally ?

thats ridiculous ...

sweettooth title lets us also not wait for minutes..until the character has chewed the sweets x thousands of times..before it will finally swallow the stuff down >.<

god damn it ...

is it really wished too muhc to change this stupid title from minutes into points ? just to make it lesser annoying and more fun at all ?
