The players streaming in, however, are not. Eventually the supply of players will dry up, and no one will achieve max titles anymore, and that means no more favor.

complete BS as they will simply adjust what is needed to qualify.

add more titles

make an access quest

this is not set in stone and will see many tweeks in the near future.

now we have PVE controlling a PVE area which is exactly wha has been yelled for.

SIDENOTE

EVERYTIME I HIT /FAVOR IT WAS NO LESS THAN 48 MINUTES AND SEVERAL TIMES OVER 60 MINUTES

Why do we have to have favor of the gods to clear up their realm?

Wouldn't Ascending and beating the game be enough? That way, everyone can do UW/FoW. It'll be equal, and nobody has to wait.

I do agree this is better than the old system for non-Europeans, but once most titles have been maxed out, it'll be over.

And the titles in GW:EN are probably going to be SS/LB style grindfest titles, because you get factions for parties, so they'll be maxed out fairly quickly, so yeah...

back to old system: /notsigned
remove the whole 'only favor under certain conditions' thing, and let us go to UW/FoW after beating the game and ascending: /signed

/notsigned for reasons people already gave

There are only two good points in the new system:
- Non permament, so favor is still 'especial'.
- Worldwide, so no region is left out.

And two very, very WRONG points:
- To slow and dependant of limited, non-repeatable values.
- Quests that require favor are unatainable until favor is got.

The solution? There are many posibles.
- Keep avatars responding even without favor, but reduce prices when having favor to 50% and increase prices of their services without favor to 200%.
- Give favor when X elite missions are finished.

And when do you expect will that happen? I'd say not before:

- Anet stops adding tiles
- New players stop joining the game
- Old players stop creating new characters.

That should be around the release date of GW2.

And if the number of maxable titles should decrease significantly, all Anet has to do is adjust how many are needed. Problem fixed.

QFT. People go out of their way to bitch, even when something is working. it's so annoying.

Rocky Raccoon · Aug 10, 2007, 05:02 PM // 17:02

Type /favor every once in a while to see if there is favor and no need to hang around doing nothing, when favor comes you get an hour to form a group. I say say give it a chance before complaining.

After sitting in TOA many hours having allready got titles on loads of chars i realised this new system is rubbish it can't possibly work so therefor i have started this petition to put a end to it.

I counted over 80 Monks.Necros with nothing to do in TOA this is just wrong people want to farm so let them farm either by having no favour (which would be the best way as its equal then) or by the old system.

I rest my case so anyone in favour of no favour system or back to the old one pls post here now and hopefully Gaile or Anet will see this and the matter will be resolved soon.

Bad news -- the system IS working. Favor's been available for several hours IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY (here on the U.S. East Coast). There's 75 minutes to go as I type this.

So what's your complaint? Favor is avialable when it normally wouldn't be. Isn;t that an improvement?

Razz Thom · Aug 10, 2007, 05:40 PM // 17:40

it worked out well for me last night.....no muss, no fuss, pay 1k and on my way. new system is ok. and i'm sure it will be changed again soon, so give it a chance and stop crying.

P.S. anyone else notice that the loudest arguements against the change are from EU players?

prism2525 · Aug 10, 2007, 05:46 PM // 17:46

as i said, a change was needed, but this was stupid.

Bubba · Aug 10, 2007, 05:56 PM // 17:56

/favor
77 minutes of favor of the gods remaining

/notsigned

Rich_Izy · Aug 10, 2007, 06:01 PM // 18:01

I wonder how this system would work when most of the GW players go on to GW2

(and I'm a European player).

Clobimon · Aug 10, 2007, 06:37 PM // 18:37

/notsigned as well

a good thing is that everyone can pretty much estimate when favor will arrive now. /favor "Oh, just need 2 more achievements. It should open up in 10 minutes or so. Lets set up." Much better than having no clue whatsoever when it would come. Also, now everyone is locked out and waiting at the same time (janitors come in and sweep, take out the garbage and snoop in desks) - except for scrolls. After the update it opened in around 1h 20m and stayed open for almost three hours. I only checked once after it closed again but it was well on its way to reopening again.

I think it's working just fine and anyone that's not used to having favor 95% of the time shouldn't be upset. It may have to be tweaked/adjusted periodically, but the idea seems fine.

/not signed

I think this is a good move and should be a perk to all. Some people will finally see the place. Like Americans that play during Europe Domination time of the day. Only thing I can see be upset with if they post your name on the big screen for all to see is the spam latté you will get (thanks man, GG, Finally, great job Etc..) from five hundred people.

ScorpDeception63 · Aug 10, 2007, 07:04 PM // 19:04

/Signed

Why? Because I think this will demote Hero's Ascent. Could this problem have not been solved an easier and more effective way? The only reason people have to go to Hero's Ascent now is to get higher ranked, not fight for their country in PvP and win favor so they could go to the FoW and UW. While I do say that it wasn't fair to other countries, like I said earlier, it could have been solved a better way. To me, It's almost like this new method is pushing people into getting maxed titles.

That's the only reason they've ever gone there, really.

The person you quoted was sarcastic, apparently.

ScorpDeception63 · Aug 10, 2007, 07:17 PM // 19:17

That could be taken as stereotyping. No, people didn't HA just for fame, a lot of them did it to win favor for their country. Europe has it during the day, america at night, and occasionally the others came in.

While I will say a large majority of people did HA just for fame, some didn't, or did for it and more. Now, only fame can be achieved.
