Oh Almost forgot to mention.
Gaile Please Introduce Tabbed Titles, Like the Quest Log. And maybe put some order back too (Not as it is now, that we have to scroll Way down for our elonian titles ).

How will the new Internatinol Titles work on Koabd? Let's say I got 3 Protector Titles ( Which I do ). That gives me International Protector. Now I got 3 Titles Maxed out + The international Maxed out. Will this International also count towards Koabd, or is it a Seperate Title?

Ps. Still would love to see any Visual Effect for having any of the tiers in KOABD.

I vote in favor of changing, but I would also like to see the Skill Hunter as account based. Prior to Factions release I had capped all Elites available in the game. But silly me, I didn't have the skill points to do them all on one character. so they were done on multiple characters. Does that make it less of an achievement.

Greetings,

I voted for splitting the titles into campaign specific tracks. However, there is some things that I would like to address about it:

1. As others have said, the core skills - what will they count for? Either make them a separate track (Core, Tyrian, Canthan, Elonian), have them add to all the continents (thereby giving a head start on new chapters), or ignore them completely. I'm in favor of the first option (a separate track).

2. Since this a skill hunter title track, what about the non-elites? Aren't they skills as well? This has bothered me since the titles were first introduced. Add the non-elite skills as a requirement for this title, in combination with splitting the tracks as above, and make the track 5 ranks to max. This, I believe, will produce the time-sink and gold-sink that is wanted in these titles, as well as keeping them a little harder to achieve, as others have posted worries about.

Personally, I'm hoping for both the above to happen, but the final decision is up to ArenaNet, and I guess I'll live with what they decide, since I'm not about to stop playing over such a thing as this .

Edit: Oh yeah - and add a sort option for the title screen. It's getting too crowded with all the different tracks that are available. Maybe sort by title rank, alphabetical, or category (cartographer, protector, skill hunter, PvP are good choices).

Merry meet, merry met, merry meet again,

That's ingenious! Though I think calling it Skill Hunter is a way to refer to skills you actually have to hunt for (finding the right boss, killing, then capping), instead of just purchase. Otherwise, I'm fully up for what you suggest. People would have to UAS on one character to get max for all continents. I'd say that's "leet" enough.

Please don't add normal skills as well. If you want the max title for 1 character for 1 Campaign then, how much gold will you spend on skills then? Also, you'll need about 5 million XP for all the Skillpoints. Not to mention if you want all 3 titles. Or even all 3 titles on 8 characters.

I like the idea of having seperate Skill Hunter titles, though. Like Explorer titles. It gives people with only 1 chapter the possibility of getting more maxed out titles, as well.

Yeaaahhhh Split it up in 3 or 4 Title Tracks PLEAAASE!!!

But remember to add "Ebon Dust Aura", otherwise it won't be possible to Max the Elonian Title!

triple Skillhunter please

edit: The Yangg: well... u get the Lighbringer Sig at Rank 3. This Elite counts towards the Skillhunter track. I believe it to count against that Elonian Track as well

I vote for, even though i do love being officially "Elite" at the moment

I also favour any skills you've unlocked being made available to all of your other PvE characters, either automatically or through purchase at the skills trader.
One thing that is stopping me playing with any of my other characters at the moment apart from my warrior is the knowledge that I'd have to unlock the elites for them all over again.
Not very appealling at all, and just a pure grind, something I thought ANet were trying to avoid.
Maybe make it so that the unlock only becomes available when you hit the tier, but it's still needed.
Going through a campaign in intricate detail once is fun, doing it ten times just to make sure your PvE characters are as flexible as PvP characters is a chore.

Oh, and IMPLEMENT THE EBON DUST AURA BOSS ALREADY!

As someone who has all 290 Elites and no max title, I am obviously for it. However, I also like the idea of giving the max rank for those who temporarily max the title before a new chapter comes out.

If the title is decentralized however, a little more work should perhaps be put into it. i.e. Make it Elite skills plus all skills of 2 professions or something.

That's a nice suggestion Gaile, i support it.

I would also like to see more money-sink titles, suck as Drunkard and Chest titles. It would be cool if now that we have titles, titles are the domain of grinders, and armor and weapon skins are more available to casual players who dont want to grind (but are spending much time in game, just dont like mindless boring bot-like grinding). Before titles, armor and weapon skins were the only thing grinders could get, so that was ok, but now the concept is a bit obsolete.

The Elonian track currently considers Lightbringer Signet, an Elonian non-cappable skill, towards the title. It would still be possible to max unless something was changed.

I know this very well I'm "Elite Skill Hunter" but i suppose this is a bug and will be fixed...
or maybe ArenaNet is just friendly and fix it with the Introduction of Ebon Dust Aura...

We'll see..

More titles? Welcome. I voted yes.

Anyway that "all chapter" skills title is a must, maxed when you get the other 3 ones maxed (then when a 4th GW comes, change that title for max when you have 4 perfect skill titles)

The idea of add a positive effect to titles is GOOD, like more B.factions for PvP titles; Add something like that to Skill tiltle: the more elite skill you have = cheaper than 1k per skill you buy (good idea)

Obvioully people with all skill already capted, will have all titles already (when implemented)

Oh please, so no one is allowed to agree with anyone because then we dont have mind of our own?

And im sorry, it doesnt matter how many skills i capped. I have the right to vote. And i vote against grind.

Well, it's not like we're really expecting speed records of mob insertion after the whole Assassin's Promise thing... It'll get put in eventually, I guess.

290 elites, voted for seperation. KoaBD holds no real value as it is, and it makes little sense why there should be a chapter-spanning title.

Instead of coming out with more silly titles, maybe release a finished game instead, and not do like EA does and release a poorly tested and implemented game, actually fix the stuck character issues, or fix the numerous Z axis issues that still crop up on nearly every bridge.

There are so many other items that should be resolved first, but I guess adding ridiculous titles is much more important.

Thanks for nothing.
well put, I think we should fix the current problems first

it seems like you want "vanity items/armors" handed to you on a silver platter. if anet made nicer skins readily available to any player, would u still want them? nice skins are considered nice because of their rarity. all online rpgs will require some type of "grind" to acquire "vanity items/armors". if u dont have the time or dont want to "grind", be content with whats available to you.

Get an own opinion ffs.

I saw someone reply to my previous post that Core elites are not multi-cappable.
So that means that they
1. need to make skills recappable which is plain right BOLLOCKS.

or

2. let them count towards all three titles simultaneously which brings me back to my previous reply.

We've already got enuff half hanging titles and making such changes makes it even worse in the already hard to manage titles list with several unfilled things in it.
People with only Proph and Nightfall will have a never ever filled Factions title saying Canthan Skill hunter: 60/110 for instance
I mean come on, what gives.
I'm currently at 183 elites and i like my title.
It's the only thing i'm going for whether it counts towards KoaBD or not.
Skill Hunter shows devotion towards the gametitle and seperating them gets rid of that

I'd like all skillhunters and other repliers to post THEIR current eliteskill number and THEN vote instead of going with the 'majority' coz you don't have a mind of your own.
They'd best change the KoaBD title into CUT (Completely Useless Title) since everyone has it.
i really dont see where are you getting your info.
my guess would be (and my guess is as good as yours) that if you dont own a specific chapter - the skill hunter title for that chapter will NOT appear- even if id be just the core skills. it might appear only after you cap an elite in that chapter.
and i have no reason to see why one would have to/be able to re-cap core skills that one capped already.
i am sorry - id imagine your speculation is just something that is highly illogical - so ill leave it at that - ranting from somebody that feels that having a title that might be achieved by many as attack on thier virtual penis. and what really saddens me is the fact that since ppl dont agree with you - youd consider them not thinking with their head. newsflash - that fact that some of us disagree with YOU - shows that we are able to think on our own.

i do feel that having a title that can not be maxed is a bit of a design flaw.

Heh. This is off-topic, but not all very expensive, rare skins are nice. Have you seen Assassin FoW?
