What do you think about a boss killing title? (with high amounts of bosses needed to max ofcourse)... Would'nt it be a fun addon to the already existing Wisdom and Treasure hunter titles?

As long as they make it so that killing the same boss more than once cannot give you more than 1 point.

/SIGNED

but only if they do as MorpheusDV says and limit the number of points to 1 point to the bosses no matter how many times that you actualy kill it.

but you have to kill different bosses (dunno how they would somehow make sure you couldnt kill the same boss over ans over) and they would have to high leveled bosses rather than the lvl 5 bosses

I'd assume that it'd be based upon killing EVERY different boss in the campaign, both high and low level...

But this seems to me that it'd be a lot easier than mapping, so I don't know if there would be a point in this, as well you'd more than likely get this title while mapping...

We allready have the Skill Hunter title. Its nearly the same, to cap a boss' skill you gotta kill it..

viskey · Jan 24, 2007, 04:38 PM // 16:38

yet it costs a hell of a lot less... my skill cap is about 1k already... so killing bosses would be better for those with less money

I'd love a boss killing title, it'd be incentive for people to go to Mineral Springs every once in awhile.

But like you point out, there are now several circumstances where if you are trying to get another title (max elite skills, mapping, etc), this one comes for free, kinda defeats the point of titles tehn....

list of free titles:

Rank
Exploration
Protector
Wisdom (if you do not buy your golds, or use chests in them)

I am sure there are more, I am just not on the game atm :b

This is distinct from the skill capping title, since many bosses carry duplicate elites, especially with core elites. There are also plenty of bosses that don't carry any elites at all, especially in the earlier parts of campaigns. I'd be curious to know how many boses, total, there really are between the campaigns. If the number's as high as I suspect, this might be a fun and challenging title.

malignant-heretic · Jan 24, 2007, 07:39 PM // 19:39

/signed for the title.

one thing i would add tho is like a bestiary so you know which ones youve killed and which ones you havent.

I didn't mean free as in it doesn't cost you money. I meant free as in you are already trying to map the continent and killing the stuff along the way can make it easier/safer and if you kill everything in your path as you map then you get the boss killer title for 'free'. Or even the other way around if you are already traveling to every corner of the map to kill all the bosses then just a tiny bit more effort will get you the mapper title. My point is that you are absically giving people the opportunity to do 2 titles at once, which then begs the question, what's the point?

I'm still undecided on this one so don't take this as an argument so much as me thinking out loud. Aren't a lot of bosses in this game random spawns? That is, wouldn't you have to retread the same ground quite a few times in many cases to wipe them all out? Simply killing everything you came across while getting the cartography title wouldn't necessarily do it. I also don't know how focussed on killing stuff the cartography folks really are, don't a lot of them tend to run areas rather than fighting every boss they encounter?

You're taking the definition of free either too liberally, or not liberally enough.

Technically, all the titles are free, when you buy the game you have 0 gold.

What people mean by free is that it's concurrent to existing titles. Skill capping alone would get you points for both titles with ZERO extra work.

I'd love to see you get any of the other titles without spending a single in game coin(aside from beggin for free stuff from other people). Everything has costs involved, to get as far as Kryta to get lucky/unlucky points, and free holiday booze, would be nearly impossible with starting armor and weapons.

This is the same as the Treasure Hunter/Wisdom title tracks. Just opening chests will get you some gold items to ID, that is the definition of a high level chest, it can drop a gold.

i say /signed.

This would be a great challenge on top of the skill capping.

There have been very few new title ideas that i have NOT liked though.

It would be the same IF every chest was guaranteed you gold items.

It's not, not by a long shot. Sure, you get a freeby every now and then. but that's it.

Sometimes a Boss killed for skill cap drops a gold, doesn't make them the same either.

Anyways, it's actually cheaper to buy 100 golds, on account of mods, than it is enough to buy 100 keys+(insert variable)Keys for golds. Given, enough people have to farm golds to sell them cheap enough. 1k, I'll jump at the chance, cause the key would cost 400-600 anyways, and my return from selling the even crappy modded gold weapons covers alot of the difference.

Every Skill cap does guarantee a boss kill, there's zero chance involved.
That's provided you go for caps first then bosses, otherwise you're wasting time.

/Definitively unsigned, 90 skill caps is 90 bosses killed(whatever # the cap title is), however you look at it, the same cannot be said for any other two titles.

Skye Marin · Jan 24, 2007, 10:24 PM // 22:24

The Skill Cap title makes a 'Boss Killing' title obsolete.

More importantly, there are many logistical problems. What about bosses that are added in expanded content? What about duplicate bosses in an area? What about Bosses that only spawn on specific quests and missions for specific chapters?

If you don't have enough gold for cap sigs, then you'll simply need to earn more to get the title. The upcomming Green Weekend would be a pretty good opportunity for that.

but imo there are plenty of...more worth titles to wear...unless they had leet names like
"Slayer (1)"
"Boss Pwnzor (2)"
"Kills For Fun (3)"
"I Write Sins Too (4)"
and max at....
"Pwnage In A Box [] (5)"

Even though Skye Marin says that the skill capping would make the title useless since you have to kill bosses. I think it's still valid because there are lots of bosses with the same elite out there.
In Prophecies, Markis and this Dune Burrower on the Ring of Fire have Barrage.
Two Azure Shadow bosses have Illusionary Weaponry.
People go cap Signet of Judgment at the Granite Citadel, but a boss azure shadow has it.
And then you guys can find the rest =D
