emotes and recognition of pve related titles are good as it is with the title alone. skill vs grinding, pvp vs pve, grinding through pve shouldn't be recognized to teh point near a bambie or wolf or any sorts. only pvp should have such recognitions b/c it actually involves a great amount of skills. not ebay gold and buy unid items, drinks, sugars, bot at aspenwood and donate faction should be considered to be worthy of a emote.

I don't really understand the point being made here. There are plenty of skilled PvE players out there that go and complete titles because the players enjoy it. I don't see why one would consider it a grind (as if all titles aren't?). Most players don't bot or ebay. I've gained KoBD and higher on all but 2 of my 9 characters because I enjoy it.

I do understand the point that KoBD is easier to attain now, but if an emote were placed it wouldn't have to be at the first tier, but rather could be at the second or third (or higher if more are added).

Personally I don't see why it shouldn't be added. PvPers shouldn't be offended or "jealous" that PvE players gain an emote. It wouldn't take anything away from /rank because it would be distinctly different.

A good solution would be to allow /rank only to be used in PvP outposts, and the PvE emote in PvE outposts. This way neither side would have to deal with "jealousy" of the other's emote.

If one is never added PvEr's might just have to get R3. It might be the easiest solution if one wants an emote that badly.

I'd settle on them adding the last 2 tiers to the title track, but some entirely worthless but entertaining emote wouldn't hurt. >.>

If you aren't good enough to make it in PvP you don't get an emote, simple as that.

Be moar pve scrubbish plz

But then again, you don't REALLY have to be GOOD in PvP to get shiny emotes, do you? Besides, we all know there's a lot of high-rank account that were ebayed. And we all know there's a common practice of pvp players playing pve players accounts and getting payed for each fame they earn them.

Furthermore, what skill - other than a reflex to push a button upon hearing "3 2 1 spike" - do you have after few months of pvp? None.

Pvp was given an option on unlock all pve armor/item skins. Isn't it only fair to give something new and shiny to pve also?

I think that the whenever a players uses the drunkard title they should get same vision as when your a little drunk and when you use alehound titles that you make you max drunk at a random type of boose. Using these titles should not count twoards the title track but I still think that they should shout out the drunken quotes.

As for the KoaBD emote I agree maybe like adding a divine glow to the character or something whenever the title is used.

I have Kind of a Big Deal for my primary character, but I personally don't see a point in having a special emote for the rank. Just toting it around with you is rewarding enough.

Rank emotes were there before titles came out. Now that titles are out, there's no point. No need to have an even bigger epeen...

Totally agree, we need the next 2 tiers of this title track and probably the next ones after those as well.
Am tired of only having the level 3 tier when I should be on the level 5 one.

Oh and /signed for the emotes they would be cool, but as good as my tiger, prob not.

I'd love to have an emote. Took me so many months to get r6 koabd an emote would be a nice bonus for all the time u spend on getting 30 max titles.
Or other koabd ranks.

Champion title is what gw is all about, and there's no emote for that. Lots of pseudo-logic in this thread.

For every primary pve player it would make happy, I imagine it would seriously annoy 10 primary pvp players.

/signed but at God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals. Otherwise it would be overspammed. I don't care how many PvP elitists it would piss off, fair is fair.

I'm not GWAMM yet, but hopefully before GW2

Only 4 titles to go...

I've got 22 maxed titles (soon to be 26), and I don't like this idea at all. Gladiator and Champ deserve emotes much more than PvE titles. Want to show off your PvE abilities? Wear your armor and you crystalline swords and whatnot.

Keep the emotes in pvp. They are annoying enough as it is, let's not make it worse!

Honestly, you could probably say max KoaBD is equivalent to r3 Hero. The main difference is that maxing KoaBD takes way longer. One thing they have in common - both of them don't really show how skilled a player is.

I say it because I've met people with KoaBD nearly maxed who still happen to suck at the game. Besides the HM titles, a majority of them involve grind, money sinks, and pointless time-consuming tasks. You can max the title and still be clueless about true skill, thanks to consumables, pve skills, and the lack of real challenges in pve.

Btw, I happen to be a PvE'er.

Please the GWAMM title immensely more impressive than the PvP title tracks are, so that we can put a stop to PvPers coming to PvE and then flashing their titles. Well, we won't be able to stop them, but the KoaBD title-hunters will step forth and flash their own emote back at the PvPers.

Well, I would say that level 3 (not sure which that is) might be more impressive than the PVP titles. GWAMM nearly requires max PvP titles anyways.

Other question (a little bit off topic), why do I have the title "Hero" and can't wear it. I understand that they require you to be r3 to wear the title, but why bother coming up with titles then for level 1 and 2. Makes some sense on the sunspear track since skills get more powerful as you rank up and the 15 attribute point quests in nightfall are tied to that track, but there is no reason why I shouldn't be able to wear my r1 title. I understand I don't get the emote, just let me wear the title. It would at least be a little easier for a r1 or r2 to get into a group if they could prove they had done some HA. (Granted my r1 was mostly from EoE bomb group).

I really disagree with this because it isn't accesible to many players. One of the reasons that there is a /rank emote is because GW was designed to be a game for casual players, and it was to give grats to serious players. It used to be coveted and now it isn't because of the double weekends. I think the same will happen with this. The double faction weekends make it easy for max titles. Also HA is available to any player, but one can only get a certain number of titles with only having one campaign. One reason people want this is because not many people have it and they want to show it off. They don't realize that this will cause everyone to want it and it wouldn't be special. Also most people don't want to spend time getting titles. Now a days I can go on the internet and buy 100k and buy sweets and party points till i get max titles. I can also pay to id golds. I can even pay for alcohol, and yes there are ways to afk it. I can pay for runs through missions and get bonuses. So many titles are too easy to exploit. The ones that aren't waste too much time and are worthless to many people. Even if i had the title "God Among mere mortals" i would probably still disagree with it. Like I said in my first point, doing this would take away the original point of GW, make it so even casual players can play equally.

You can buy a lot of titles to get rank 3 like sweet tooth etc... It requiers no skill at all... I don't think its impressive at all

PvP got titles because it (used too) rely on player skills.

Remove all the (title) emotes in the game and burn those who suggest more titles and emotes.

just give KoaBD the same emotes, as for hero title and then split the requirements for those emotes for both gameplay modes:

pve charas have then to work on KoaBD to receive the emotes and working on hero title won't do anything for them, while

pvp characters have to work on the hero title for it and maxing titles won't affect them, because pvp characters simple can't max so or so enough titles to max KoaBD, there are not enough titles for pvp characters ...
-------

would be best solution and this would bring an end to the stupid concept of forcing pve characters to play high end pvp for this emote.

When pvp players really need something, like emotes, just to have the motivation to play pvp... then this is imo pityful ...
Those players have already the big motivation, that when playing high end pvp with their guilds, they can win real money and other prices ,when winning tournaments ...
Thats imo motivation enough for a pvp only player

.

But about those special emotes, it should be changed, that all players regardless of their choice of prefered gameplay mode, should have each their own way of receiving those emotes.

To reach this, the most easiest and most logic way will be, tha KoaBD will become the PvE-Way for the Creature Emotes. Would be only fair

10 Titles maxed: Deer
15 Titles maxed: Wolf
20 Titles maxed: Tiger
25 Titles maxed: Phoenix
30 Titles maxed: Dragon or whatever will become sooner or later maybe Rank15

PvP is much harder since you can't solo everything or just h/h it when there's no one on, but if emotes would be given out it should be something like this:

15 Titles maxed: Deer
20 Titles maxed: Wolf
25 Titles maxed: Tiger
30 Titles maxed: Phoenix

You can get KoaBD in one day, if you've completed a campaign, you can't get Bambi in one day, unless you're doing r12+ balanced or something.

You cannot reach r1 KoaBD from the ground up in a single day with no donations/etc on a fresh character any more than you can reach Hero in a single day with a fresh account.

I'd like it best, granted, if the emotes were removed. Titles I can handle. I don't mind an HA grinder coming into PvE with their title on and running around. Easily ignorable. It's when that emote comes out and starts flashing around that it becomes impossible to ignore.
