Dwarven Bounties throughout the original Shiverpeaks would go a long way...

And though the supposed time-spacing is a bit screwed up, Ebon Vanguard bounties in northern parts of Ascalon wouldn't necessarily go amiss.
Would Asura bounties in Maguuma Jungle be totally pushing it?
And heck... if the Sunspear spirits can offer bounties in the Desolation, which is directly linked to the Crystal Desert... then why not stick Sunspear bounties there too?

Honestly... if there are that many titles now that work on the bounty system, couldn't we do with more bounty offers across what until now has been a completely bounty-barren continent?

Sounds like a good idea. More places to get our title points.

No. This would require new NPCs to be placed in Tyria (Prophecies part). Having an Asura NPC at a rez shrine outside The Wilds would seem strange to someone who did not own GW:EN. What dialog would they recieve, as they wouldn't be able to gain title points when they don't own GW:EN.

If you want to work on the Luxon/Kurzick title, you go to Cantha.
If you want to work on the Norn/Asura/Deldrimor/Ebon titles, you go to GW:EN.
If you want to work on the Sunspear/Lightbringer title, you go to Elona.

It is not based on story connection issues, it is based on 'who owns what' issues.

Doesn't have to be the Asura themselves in the Maguuma Jungle.
The Shining Blade teamed up with them at some point.... so there could be Shining Blade NPCs there giving bounties in order to help them forge an alliance with the Asura in some way that they then have activated in the GW:EN story.

No, no, no. I like Proph the way it is.

Lucky you.
I don't. I think it sucks.

Needs more bounty.

Yay opinions.

im for it too.

im for it too, that Sun Spear and Lightbringer should receive more Skills and that those 2 titles shouldn't force players to play hard mode, only for maxing those 2.
the others don't force the player too, to play hard mode, only for maxing the titles.

then sun pear and lightbrigner should need same poin sums, like the racial titles, letting the npcs give out points same, as for the racial titles, same buffs, when killing 25 monsters eaach time and npcs giving out bonus points after every 25 kills, so more monsters you kill, so greater the bonus points

in hard mode the bonus can be then bigger ,sure, but sunspear and lightbrigner should be maxable too in normal mode !!!
And raise the max then from 8 to 10 for both, every racial should have 10 ranks.

about racial npc points in other campaigns: signed:

Ebon Vanguard simple humans in south tyria. (charr flee'rs)
Dwarfs in south shiverpeaks
Asura as Shining Blades in Maguma as mentioned above
Norn will be shown by human Hunters, as long u don't own GW:EN, the title gets shown as Hunter Title from Human, when you own GW:En, then the title changes to Norn title

In my opinion, all parts of the world should receive now all over the world dungeons, which get unlocked, when u own GW:EN

so dungeons in cantha, dungeons in elona and dungeons all over the rest of tyria, so : crystal desert, south shiverpeaks, maguuma djungle, ascalon and Kryta, the fire ring and then naturally lots of this damn unnused spaces on the maps, which can be used to place there new travelalbe areas for new dungeons/quests and so on.

with this, they could creation then direct in 1 turn some elite dungeons, some stuff like big trees or towers or something like this, which has then like 10+ stages and will enable players later n GW2 to have a spot in the world, where we can see the world from a high spot, where we players can then enjoy the new 3d engine later.

*wishes to have a very high tower, from that you can see into the clouds and you can the then a horizon of a whole continent you are on and this then 3D turnable around yourself, with a zoom function then by such telescope like things (these things where u have to put coins in, to be able to look alot more farer , don#t come now on its english correct word XD)

however > more dungeons in places of the campaigns = more places where you can gain points for the racial titles = good ^^

I love Tyria, still my fav.. but I'd LOVE a good REASON to stick around and hack n slash some more in Tyria. I've been playing more of it lately cuz my gf just got into GW and I'm irritated due to the lack of bounties and inscriptions there, so.......

/SIGNED!

Would be too damn easy then. getting rep pts for smashing lvl 2-20's with a full party of 20 is simply too easy.

IF the bounties would only be available in Hard Mode I'd sign. But definatly not for NM.

sterbenx2 · Sep 11, 2007, 03:46 PM // 15:46

of course only in HM.. You have to play HM to max them out anyway, its a given that you'd have to play there to get the points....

ye, but since that's not mentioned anywhere here I thought I would bring it up

And again..if HM, I'm in for it

R!ghteous Ind!gnation · Sep 11, 2007, 04:05 PM // 16:05

I think we can all at least agree on more faction whether its from an idea like this or some other...

MithranArkanere · Sep 11, 2007, 07:17 PM // 19:17

Hey. Just by making the 'new' guy never give you points unless you have already been in their respective home cities, done.

If you want to get Vanguard in the original 'vanguard' region (Piken Square and so) you need to have GW:EN.
If you want to get 'deldrimor' you need to have gw:en.
If you want to get Asura in maguuma, you still need to have GW:EN.

But the Norn title would be left out, since Norn are only in their 6 regions.

Arcanis the Omnipotent · Sep 12, 2007, 12:11 AM // 00:11

Actually its even easier than that.

Just have the Bounty Bearers in Tyria's main areas have a requirement that you be wearing atleast rank 1 of the title you're going after. And then by wearing that rank have the game put in the GW:EN type and level enemies. That way you wouldnt get the same points for killing low level charr as you would for killing high level ones.

Instead the Charr outside Piken would be Level 20-24's. And so on...

But you can't get the same bounties for smaller prey. That's just you asking for the bounty system to be easier.

------

On the other hand, Tyria should have more greens, its own titles, and its own bounties.

Doing new high level quests for the Ascalon Vanguard, the Lion Guard or the Shining Blade.

Create a second "Friend of the Dwarves" title for the N/Southern Shiverpeak Deldrimor. Give a different bonus effect for the title.

And make sure these quests and titles are only available to people who have beaten Prophecies. Also, no PVE skills. Prophecies has enough skills.

I was thinking of Normal Mode, true.... but I was also thinking it should be scaled to monster difficulty. That bounty points "per monster" in the maguuma jungle should only be a quarter what they are in the asura regions.... etc.

Even if it was only 1 pt for a monster in NM,it's still too much and too easy. HM is the way to go I think if you want bounties in proph
