Curse

So.... the majority of people don't want the change that i suggested earlier which is fine, I was just curious. However, would you all disagreables agree with some sort of icon, like an adrenaline icon, that would help you determine level and therefore when to drink alchohol? If so, we could create another thread suggesting this to game developers.

I'd like a little icon. I don't want it to change into a clickable title like Sweet Tooth however.

I'm thinking that the best icon would be something like the Spear of Archemous or that Kurzick Urn uses. It flashes and the text changes with each level from 1 to 5.

Personally, I think an effect with be neat as well, like run 10% slower when level 3 drunk, 25% slower with level 4 and 50% slower with level 5 and when fighting you miss more when you're drunker. After all that's how drunk works in real life. But I suppose this would be extremely unpopular for all you drink and fight advocates.

Yeah it's people like you that I just lol at and I bet you think everyone with FoW eBay'd it along with everything else they own? I got my drunkard title without cheating, no zoning and no macro or w/e the hell people use. Took me about a week of drinking for a few hours a day to get my drunkard title. And I really don't care what people think because I got my title the legit way and I know I did. Oh and not too many people knew about the zoning trick, I remember reading about it after I got drunkard and just started laughing.

I'm sorry, I might just be retarded; but isn't sweet tooth a money sink and drunkard a time sink as well as a money sink?
I suppose I'm missing something somewhere. >.>

Drunkard should be GOLD sink, not a time sink.

They changed the Kurcick/Luxon so now it's much easier to obtain,and you see no one complaining about it.

So. Just go for it. Effect icons and points per use (1..5 depending on which alcoholik drink is).
And drunkard will be perfect.

Yeah... I have a ton of booze saved up, but I haven't banked enough for even Drunkard yet because even when I'm in an outpost being social or playing 9 Rings, I'm never bored enough to bust out the stopwatch. I'd prefer either the Sweet Tooth clicking or at least an effect icon so I can be sure I'm not wasting drinks.

I planned to zone, but that can't happen anymore, so I'll probably end up selling two years' worth of carefully saved and budgeted booze.

i got to around 300+ minutes of clicking and watching my drunkard title increase by one, when i realised that the title was not for me.

i dont think changing it to reflect alcohol consumed as opposed to minutes drunk is a good idea though.

however, i do agree that there should be an effect that helps you keep track of time.

Your title menu tells you all you need to advance this easily. Only time it becomes hard is if you are trying to do quests/missions while drinking.

Hunters Ale is easy to get by turning in quest reward items, and it the low level alcohol. Drink 5 straight, which takes you to Drunk level 5. Watch your Drunkard title, when it goes up by 2 minutes, you are at Drunk level 3. Drink more alocohol, and watch the title change.

Boring, yes, but effective. Websites like Wiki have well defined stats for all alcohol items. If you read up on them, and know how much to use, you can easily use the title menu as your stopwatch.

Oh, yes, by having half the screen taken up by the hero panel.

And looking at it every single minute it's a pain, since with many titles scrolling and looking for it is way too slow.

Nay, in GW:EN there are skills with extra effects if you are drunk, so you'll be able to increase the title either by just clicking or by using the alcohol, since you will want to stay drunk or those skills.
It would be the same like with sweet items. You can just use them up, or save them to to make the most of their effects.

Both options will be there. Both options is better than just one.

/not signed. I personally like the way the drunkard title works, and am very happy about having level one on each of my characters - it's the only title I display (other than Lightbringer when I'm in Nightfall)...
