Curse

Ok so I just got doen with the event weekend. I see one thing that is wrong to me and wanted to know how everyone else felt. That is the title tracks to get armor and stuff. Anyone else feel that the titles should be account based like the Luxon/Kurzick titles and oters. I mean you come on you need to get 50 thousand for armor I think it is wrong to have to do that for each person you might want to get armor on. Pls post and tell me maybe Anet will read this and change it Thanks hope to hear from you all on this.

The reason Kurzick and Luxon faction was account based is because you can get it from PvP.

These titles being account based would be bad. Get max norn, vanguard, deldrimor and asura and all your characters have 4/5 KoaBD. If they made these account based, they'd most likely make SS and LB account based too since they're very similar. That's 6 maxed titles on every character.

A secondary point is that they're likely to either lower or remove the title requirements when the full game comes out. Well, hopefully anyway, other wise that's just dumb

ok so if they do lower the title requried to get armor then all is good if it is a title that doesnt take hours or days to get, ,but if they dont then are you going to spend days getting a 50 thousand point title for more than one character, and you wouldn't think that was a waste?

I sure hope the requirement is temporary. There's no way in hell I'm farming 56k points for each armor set I wanna get. If this requirement stays I might forget about getting GW:EN.

I see a point in having to "prove your loyalty" but its just downright annoying :P

DarkRaptorX · Aug 26, 2007, 10:55 PM // 22:55

I have 10k norn points just from playing normally through the preview quests. I think it's fine.

Personally, I'm buying GW:EN so I can play the new quest/mission content and explore all the new areas. I couldn't give a toss about the latest vanity armour set.

It isn't that hard to get that much.. just play through the entirety of gwen once it comes out and if its still really unreachable then complain.

how is it that u people expect it to be account based? i mean, what? u play for 1 or 2 weeks to get max title for all ur chars since its account based, then what? i mean it would be waaaay too easy if they were account based...

also: u should consider the fact that getting 56k points on each title track is completly doable, not like they were asking u for 1.000.000 points for u to get armor, heck its pretty easy get this amount of points in 1 week or 2 by playing around 2 hours a day.

plz, dont tell me that u cant play for 2 hours a day plz i beg of u, cuz in that case if u play for an hour, it'll take u around 2-4 weeks of play, wich would still have gw being the game wich allows u to acquire the "end-game" armor ("pretty looking" armor in gw's case) in the least time in the market.

im gonna wait and see, but if its currently as it is, then yeah its pretty much sucks.

Quoted for truth.

It's not like you NEED any of the new armor, you aren't missing out on any performance bonuses by not having it. Plus you might feel some satisfaction from the fact that you had to accomplish something in-game in order to get that shiny new armor.

neooki · Aug 26, 2007, 11:45 PM // 23:45

Grinding, lol I say, these titles are no grind, its just some people want things in life too easy. You want a new car, you have to grind at work, save up money to buy it. You want that new 15k prestige armor, you have to grind for the materials, gold etc, maybe even a little faction. Lets face it people, GW:EN was made for level 20 characters as a last stand for Arena Net before Guild Wars 2. They're not going to make it easier for you to get these titles and if you really wanted that armor you would stop complaining and get more faction. When you explore the areas and do quests take the hunts, vanquish an area, and eventually you'll get there. It you put your heart to it you will get the faction in not time, and maybe some nice gold drops on the way to fund your armor purchase.

But how ever you see it, this is much easier then most MMORPGS that you'll see out there, and trust me, I've seen much worse.

Derrick the Nomad · Aug 26, 2007, 11:54 PM // 23:54

I think it's horrible that you have to grind titles to access armor crafters.

Vahn Roi · Aug 26, 2007, 11:57 PM // 23:57

I knew someone would bring this up.

No. I do not think it should be account based. One) becuase it's for PvE. Two) It's easy enough to get.

thelessa · Aug 27, 2007, 12:03 AM // 00:03

I don't think it should be accounts based, but the required level should be lowered, so that the casual player will be able to get armor in a reasonable amount of time!

No offense, but that argument makes absolutely no sense. You don't NEED to play the game, nothing here is about what any of us needs, it's all about wants. Armor is a big part of the fun for alot of people, and if I'm buying this game which was advertised as having 40 new sets of armor, an amazing hall of monuments, incredible dungeons, and I find that I have to grind 16 hours for each armor, and the hall of monuments is ridiculous piece of crap, then I feel like I've been ripped off. Sue the dungeons and the quests are loads of fun, but that's still 1/3 selling points.

I like that some of you are seeing the same way i am. The causal gamer doesnt have time to spend 4 weeks to get one armor set Most of us have school, work and other things. it is bad already having to save for weeks for gold and stuff to make armor but like someone said already why would you want to spend another 2 or 3 weeks getting points for the armor on top of the 3 weeks or so it took to get the stuff. I am glad to see some do agree that the titles need to be lowered to get armor or account based.
