If you don't Fow/UW much and never HA, why are you even worried about this? The only reason you signed is because you'll add 3 minutes for a titles that can take days, even weeks to get? Yes, you will help some, but it will be so minimal and spread out if you even plan on farming a lot of them, that it will barely change anything. Once everybody stops grinding titles and get's back in school, I fear this system may get worse.

Yeah, this is just as F'ed up as the old system. The only difference is that now it's based on things done by people who completely fail to give a crap about FoW and UW access. at least before there was some unconscious territorial pride.

remove favor requirements alltogether or make it something characters have to unlock individually (one-time thing).

Wait until the pre-GW:EN title-fest is over and look at how often anyone gets favor.

in the beginning i assumed this would be bad, however despite my disbelief that 20 people a day could max a title, everytime ive logged in we have had favor. I'm happily supprised. I think the new system might actually work.

Raganark · Aug 12, 2007, 02:02 PM // 14:02

most of the time before when i could gather up the guildies to hit it we didn't have favor thats why i don't fow/uw much now from my observations we have favor most of the time i play so thats good for me
also i believe anet will adjust favor as the game moves on if players are not going for titles anymore

All I know is that before, America hardly ever had favor when I was online and now we've had favor. It's not the ideal system to be sure, but it's better than being locked out 90+% of the time.

Seems to me like ANet would go to a system where favor rotated between the game continents somehow maybe influenced by PvE play. That might encourage people who haven't bought all three chapters to buy the other chapters to increase their access.

That's pretty much how it used to be. Currently, I'd say that there's probably as many title hunters who care about getting favor as there were HA teams caring about getting favor. Very small number.

So you say this way its more time with favor?
How many player play guild wars.
I more then 2 million I guess and less then 3million. Thats prety good if everyone is tracking titles. But they arent. How many of them playing ht game long enought to get max titles. %95 of the communite cant have enought time and patience to max titles. So you say every hour 20 people max titles. I would be amazed. Ad I dont wait at game any longer I dont know ho logn it takes some people to ax titles.
BUT IT SHOULD BE EVERY 5 MINUTES CAUSE IF TAKES LONGER OLD WAY WAS LONGER TIME SPEND WITH FAVOR WHEN I PLAYED(I mean prime playing times for european time zone. mornin 10 night 1 I dont remember cant getting in uw)

What?

And on weekdays, especially once school is back in session for most people, I'd say this will only get worse.

Fair trade off for universal favor, and there's nothing saying that this can't be tweaked.

This new system actually makes sense, unlike how PvP governs elite PvE zones. Which didn't make sense.

/notsigned.... we have almost permanent favor.. If you don't like that, you are crazy...

Retribution X · Aug 12, 2007, 04:53 PM // 16:53

A better question would be to ask, "why the hell do we have favor if FoW/UW/statues are open world round nearly 24-7?"

lol! now, they're crying because favor is based on PVE and not PVP.

I say that all whining Europeans should buy scrolls and deal with it.

GG Anet, although you shouldn't have made favor pvp based in the first place.

I will forgive you for making the Europeans cry.

:/ other than the minority who farm or bot there or both lol no one really cares so umm wow...trolling ftl I guess and I'm from euro districts so go figure..

/notsigned
my only quibble with this is that I have to see pointless HoH matches and joey joey mcjoeysons name when he gets a title. :x Also that there's going to be a time where no one can or is maxing out titles so there will be a time when they have to change the system even if its a long time away or just make passages scrolls drop more. :P

in my opinion it should go
1/2 for every unshown title (maybe excluding sunspear ranks 1 - 3) 1 for every showable title and 2 for every max title. With messages only appearing for max of course. That being said the points needed should most likely need to be increased.

Ive been seeing use NOT have favor alot lately. And the favor system just started. So what happens in a week when all the gung-ho people stop maxing out there titles or dont have any to max out cause they griding all weekend to get there 3 minutes of favor?

I think its the other way around.
Who goes to FoW/UW 24/7 anyways?
I dont want perma-favor cause I dont want Ecto prices to get fubar'ed even more

He's not, you are. It takes 20 max titles in one hour to get favour, then every max title gives an extra 3 minutes. 3x20 = 60. So 20 new max titles will also give an hour of favor.

The New System is Fair for everyone. Now people can play in there own territories and not just play on the server that has favor most of the time. I have been in HA quite a bit and I have NEVER heard anyone chat about getting a group so they can get to the underworld. The hard Core HA people play HA cause they enjoy the PvP. They could care less about the FoW or UW. Now access to the Realm of the Gods is tied to PvE for the PvE area. The People that care about PvE now have control on access which is nice. Cause the PvP People could care less about going to the UW or FoW. Probably going to see a lot more people getting drunk in ToA now! heheh LoL

No need to switch from NA to euro territory = nice

Im not confused in the least I know exactly how the system works I just misread it.

/Signed.

When the game started Asia and America had favor for almost half a year. All the time Europe was asking, begging, pleeing for a differend system. Anet did not listen. Now the Asian and American guilds lost interest in keeping favor and as a result Europe had it most of the time. And now Anet suddenly listens to the complaints of American and Asian players and changes the system that could not be changed when Europe begged for it?? Thats hypocrite! What comes up will go down. Now let it go down for America and Asia, they had their wins and gains when farming the underworld still was profitable. Even a 5 year favor of Europe can't equalize the loss of the first half year...

Those were the days. I actually considered making a Euro account to sell all the Eternal crap for more. Too bad I'm too lazy to do that sort of thing.

At this point there's a lot of people grinding titles because of the HoM in GW:EN. There are only so many characters and so many titles (especially since the HoM appears to work account-wide per screenshots of the 15k armor display. Do we want Anet's continued support of GW(1) to be the perpetual creation of titles? Isn't there more than just a handful of us that see this title crap as a test bubble for gameplay in GW2? Even Blizzard doesn't require any sort of favor to access Molten Core or whatever crack they're peddling now.

This system is apparently adequate for a lot of people now since there's an appearance of eternal access to these missions atm. This system is really as abstract and foolish as the original system and should be replaced by post-ascension access or some wicked-hard quest.
