[Dev Poll] Guild Wars Titles
Clerihew
If you are adding more titles to the KoaBD track then I am all for it. One of the only title tracks I haven't tried for over any characters has been skill hunter because there has never been an end in sight. They do say that happiness comes from achieveable goals, right?

Yes to the split of titles. I started capping skills (have 290) for the skill title track and for the KoaBD/PKM master title track. If I had known that the skill title would never apply to the KoaBD I probably never would have started it. So, please split them up.
I would like to see the current non-maxable skill title track remain as the "International" track. I like the idea of a neverending title, that is a known neverending title from the beginning, that shows everyone how determined you are about capping skills.
I think one for cartography would be great too: Worldwide Grandmaster Cartographer (1)(2)(3)(4) etc. Non-maxable, yet allows me to show that I am insane enough to run the edges of all 3 chapters and call it "fun".
Thanks Gaile!

i think this is a really good idea. When i started going for skill hunter title i belived that you coulod max it out (didnt really think about it that much just assumed) so whne i found out that you couldnt i was dissapointed that after al the work i had done i wasnt going to get a maxed title no matter how hard i tryed. so i think giving a individual title for each campaign is a gd way to give peopel a goal to reach and help with the KOBD title. I also think that introducing a "International" track would keep the die hard skill hunters happy because they can show that they do not only have all the skills from one campaign but from many.

Former Ruling
I think Maxable Chapter specific is best.
*And I'm saying this even when it means I lose my adept skill hunter title (160+ elites so far)*
Having an endless title track isn't that great, well I guess you could say Hero title is endless since there is no Fame Cap, but each level of that title grants you more balt cap and every 3 lvls grants you a new emote, so it not maxxing isnt that horrible.

I agree with this title change. I've been working on the skill titles for quite some time. Getting the skill points and money for this title is very time consuming and i'd like to be rewarded for my effort.

I like the idea of regional titles and the international titles.
I voted for campaign specific titles.

Swinging Fists
I've already voiced my favorable opinion of this change, but I would like to add one suggestion. How about an account-wide title for the number of maxed titles on your account ? Just have an unending number of levels - one for each maxed title on the account. You could display it on your characters that you don't focus on, to show that you have done a lot of things, just not on that particular character. I don't think this (or the international skill hunter, protector, or cartography titles) should be maxable, since to me that would be double counting, but it would be nice to display something while you play your "off" characters.

Yes.. I like the idea.

I also like the idea to become an international what so ever.
It would also become much more simple to get KoabD when someone only has one or two chapters.
To get some benefit from the skill hunter title like it was already said pay less for skills would also be a nice idea.
But at this time its enough to split the title in three. Never coming to an end with a title is *aaaargh*

Had to take some time to think about it; I will personally lose my skill title because I know I'm spread out across the campaigns, but at the same time I will gain the chance to max things out, and will have more incentive to go get those bad evil elites that are hard to reach. It's a bit of an anticlimax getting a skill hunter rank at the moment because you know you can never finish it.
I do need to know about Core skills though, or it's too confusing. I'm sure the team has thought of this though??
I agree with those that say KOABD is easier every chapter anyway. It still takes a conscious effort to go and get it. And more people having it doesn't hurt anyone in any way, so stop moaning. That title will gain extra ranks to aim for, there will always be a prestige title that the few have.

I wouldn't mind adding new titles, but I am totaly against getting rid of the old skill hunter titles. I would prefer to wear my skill hunter title over KoaBD just bacause KoaBD is so easy to get now, and I dont like having the same title as everyone else :-P. The way it is now is almost like a PvE version of the Hero titles, which I think is nice to have.
Contempt
the people have spoken! make it so
Pkest
Skill hunter is one of the few tracks I persue so some way to earn max titles toward koabd would be good as long as it was somehow retroactive to all the folks who had been working on skill hunter. And just renaming the skill hunter track to International would be the easiest way to preserve that if you add in the campaign specific ones.
as for the poll neither option is really good. needs to be a 3rd option for:
changing skill hunter to International Skill Hunter and adding campaign specific titles

I also didnt know that skill hunter title is not maxable (I reached 215 skills or something by now), so I would be very confident if there is such a change giving me 2 new maxed skill hunter titles in exchange for my progressed skillhunter title (dont know the correct english expression). Its so unfair to have a title you really worked hard for but which will never be possible to max.

I strongly agree with this idea.
If people think it cheapens KOABD then aim for people know me, or the next level.
I think I'd wear the international Skill Hunter one anyway
Also international titles for Protector and Cartographer titles would be cool as well (never ending titles that dont add to KOABD)

Does this mean skill hunter is only available to those who purchase each and every campaign? Think about the children who don't own every campaign!

Kind of a Big Deal is already easy for people who want to get it (3 protector + 2 cartographer) so I don't see the need for 3 more relatively easy titles.
But I'd like to keep skill hunter as it is for a different reason... Elite Skill Hunter (5) looks pretty cool to me. Canthan Skill Hunter (1) will look completely unimpressive, just like Protector of Cantha (1), simply because everyone has it and it's extremely easy to get compared to other titles.
If you add the international skill hunter title, I'm ok with it, since we're not losing the current skill hunter title that way...
Less people would see KoaBD as impressive, which is the whole point of titles in general IMO. Before NF, I considered KoaBD impressive because it required at least one "difficult" (read: lots of work) title in addition to two cartographers and protectors. With NF, it got a lot easier. Splitting skill hunter will give people a lot of "easy" titles to get for KoaBD (2)

Voted for- currently at 210 elites and plan to get them all.
It seems to me the objections to this are more around how it cheapens KoaBD. As long as it mixes different types of titles, KoaBD is a mixed bag anyway. Getting a max explorer title, or high gladiator title has a lot more weight with me than all of the maxed out lucky and unlucky AFK types.

anyway, on the subject of titles I would like to suggest an addition. The Adventurer title track, which would be based on how many side quests a specific character has completed. Make it Campaign specific and go by percentage of quests done rather than actual number since they seem to vary between camapaigns. so we would have ex. Elonian Adventurer > Heroic Elonian Adventurer > Master Elonian Adventurer > etc... you get the idea. Gaile... you better read this |
I would like this title to be implemented.

How are u gonna solve it with the core skills? If u capped it in P, it'll be counted as capped in F and NF too?

I prefer to keep the Skill Hunter title as it is, because most people are playing more than 1 character, and with making the title campaign-limited you would give those who play few characters (with whom they unlock and capture skills of more than 2 professions) an unfair advantage to those who play many characters.
Just my 2 cents . . .

'course, I'd like to keep the title simply because if I wanna show off, I"d like to show off that I've gotten more than just a single campaign worth of elites on one character.

So, if I cap a core elite, I will have 1 point for each 3 titles? (3 points in total, 1 for each specific chapter)
And please don't use "international skill hunter" as the final name of the title; that sound plenty stupid.

I'd like to see an account based skill hunter title rather than one that is character based.
Emik
Already discussed that...
Currently to date theres only on accountbased PvE titl and it's lucky/unlucky.
Keep it that way.
Making the Skill Hunter title account based makes it rubbish.
What's the difficulty in capping all the elites with 8 different characters?
None whatsoever.

Yes, id agree, but.. there should be a benefit for those who max all three titles.
As someone previously said, lowered prices in Signet and so on. Basically Skill related Benfits. Mabye lowering of Skill trainer costs?

While your at it maybe nerf all sence of continuing progression and achievement from the game? And give me a crystaline sword please.
