They probably are. They are going to add more tiers for the KoaBD title track so they need to add more titles to get those higher tiers.

I have 291 elites capped, and frankly, I couldn't give a damn if they broke up the titles and made them maxable. Regardless of whether I get KoaBD with it or not, the title I will always be wearing will be my r5 Elite Skill Hunter (will go up with additional chapters, of course) or the maxed International Skill Hunter Gaile was talking about.

I only don't understand why there is only 1 mission completion title (Tyria) and why you need to do the bonus to make it count for a completed mission.

Huh??? Each campaign has a "Protector" title track. In factions, you have to do every mission under a certian time, (except the 1 where you keep the baby turtles alive an the one where you keep them other things from dying) to get "Masters" on the mission, which will make it count for the title. In Nightfall, each mission has a different way to get the Masters.

Why do you need to get Masters/Bonus on the missions for them to count? It makes it more of a challenge, especially in factions and Nightfall. And if it didn't, it'd be way to easy to get the title.

Defiently each campaign! If you do that then one could max out the title. I have been skill capping alot lately and its a pain to know that I can never get max title for it. Make it campaign based!

Some comment, if dev introduce new titles or by splitting the Skill Hunter Title (it seem they add new titles for every new chapter from now on) it will not make KOABD title cheapen/easy to get, Because they will raise the level of KOABD to lvl 3 for 15 title maxed, lvl 4 for 20 title maxed, and more.

For a player who want the "elite" title, they need to always maintain their title to be high/elite. (Is not like, woah I already achieve KOABD, I will stop playing now because I already achieve the "elite" title <_<'')

Some Addition, It would be nice if there will be cross chapter title to replace current Skill Hunter title.

Also it would be nice if we can use our old title, not only the current lvl of our title. For Example a player already achieve lvl 5 of skill hunter so the title name will be "Elite Skill Hunter (5)" but maybe because personal preference the player like the old best "Expert Skill Hunter". Why don't make it possible to use old title but keeping the max lvl after the title:
"Expert Skill Hunter (5)"

(5) -- This represent the current rank title of the player.

Note: Player will not able to use the higher title than their current rank :
Example:
Player with 290 capped Elite (5) will able to use all title same/lower than "Elite Skill Hunter"

Player with 180 capped Elite (3) will able to use all title same/lower than "Expert Skill Hunter" but will not able to use higher than "Expert Skill Hunter " Title

Well its because the PvE sucks so people need something to do like egt titles since they complete the game within a day or two. LEave scrubs to grind there titles, split the Elite title up, should of been that way fro mthe start but have a title for having them all etc throguh all campaigns.

I'm all for the title change... would have voted in the poll, but i'm ignorant and only came across this topic today.

The thing I like most about this change would be the thing that appeals most to me about GW. The team responsible for this game doesn't seem to be in it just for the money. There's no monthly fee. There's nothing to stop you playing just the first chapter if that's the only one you really like. They seem to genuinely want their players to have a good time. Why else would they overload their servers during the festival events? This change would give all players something to aim for, no matter what combination of games they own. And that's the thing that makes games fun.

Those of you that say titles are pointless... I can't say you're wrong, it's your opinion. But the titles give us players something to aim for. Something that adds to the gaming experience. Something that makes a game worth buying. (I haven't bought a game apart from GW since 2001, when Baldur's Gate 2 expansion came out, and before that I only bought games like Monkey Island, with real entertainment value). GW has entertainment value because of the goals an individual can set for himself. Also the fact that the graphics are just so very pretty. I mean, anyone can play PvP, but I'm no good at it, so it's no fun. I don't know, there's something more wholesome and amusing when you get killed by a swarm of undead, fighting for your life with stinking, rotting flesh all around you. But if you're killed by someone who is better than you, it's just like "Hmm. They're better than me. Damn."

I realise this post is very long, but I take comfort in the fact that this thread was started 2 months ago, so it's unlikely that many people will read it.

So all I'm really trying to say, after this long ramble, is go title tracks. Bring them on. PvE is great. Oh, and my dervish is hot, and I'd love to see something like "International Elite Skill Hunter" on her.

im all for the splitting up, allthough i would love to see the international skill hunter title having seperate tiers, for example:

international skill hunter (1) for 90 skills
adept international skill hunter (2) for 135 skills
advanced international skill hunter (3) for 180 skills
expert international skill hunter (4) for 235 skills
elite international skill hunter (5) for 290 skills
master international skill hunter (6) for 380 skills

in effect the international title replacing the current title so that those with a title currently wont lose out, but the maxxed titles still available on the regional titles.

and as for those who think it will cheapen KoaBD... so what? at least that would make it possible to get PKM and still have some form of a social life.

Apologies in advance for the lateness of this post... have come in as new member rather late

Nice 1, Meat... pretty much said all I wanted to say

To all those complaining about the KoaBD Title being "cheapened" by this revision... Rubbish!! However you came by the Title, be it 3 Protector, 2 Cartographer or, 2 Protector, 2 Skill Hunter, 1 Cartographer, etc... its is still an emormous achievement, with all the respect that Title deserves.

Enough with the Elitist BS already... this isn't the school playground anymore, bullying the new kid to prove how "special" you are. If that's your only reason for playing Guildwars, then you're playing for the wrong reason and should go back to swinging from the treetops, because you most definitely belong there!

I do comiserate with those players, who have spent a great deal of time obtaining their Elite skills across 3 campaigns but, seriously, a little extra effort to obtain the rest isn't so bad...

Guildwars is supposed to embody the spirit of cooperative gameplay and enjoyment... a fact that seems to have been lost by a number of individuals posting in this Thread Anet have done wonders over the last 2 years, reinventing the game to provide as much enjoyment for ALL players as possible, and all this without monthly fees - if only other MMORPG Developers worked as hard for their community - may you long continue to do so!!

Gaile as always, you're an angel... thank you for being there for us, and allowing us the opportunity to voice our various opinions regarding this matter.

How would putting more titles toward a grander title make it any less useless? If you have the skills(As I have most of atm(224)), then you'll still have the prestige of getting to show off your KOABD title as well as having the elites unlocked not only on that character(which is usually useless, but still) but on your account as well.

I'm personaly not going for Kind Of a Big Deal title and i never was, i was satisfied with my 146 elite skills that i have payed alot of gold to get and have spent alot of time and frustration capping them. and they are split across all 3 chapters therefor leaving me with no title? I'd just take my money back for all that if i could. this is also my best title so.. this is very dissapointing but oh well, i shouldnt ever expect any less.

Because the "grand" title becomes easier to obtain. KoaBD is already essentially only two max titles (because the protectors are so easy), adding make it that much more watered down.

And it is people like you that makes me love pve so much. I've done some gvg, ra, ta, and tried to do some ha, but its people with that kind of attitude that reminds me why fighting enemies that dont have an attitude is so satisfying. If they kill me, I'm not going to get called a noob, and if I kill them they wont accuse me of sneeking up on them, or spiking them as "you got to have x number of players to kill me...noob."

Nice post MEAT AXE.

I agree totally, split it up into three chapter titles. I have 220 Elites accross all 3 campaigns but not any 1 campaign is maxed out. (missing inneptitude from Proph)

Also with the Skill cap weekend coming up It feels like youre gonna make the change soon! GG and thanks for all the hard work


@ The Silver Star - If Pve suck so bad and only us scrubs play it then why are you bothering to post?

I would like to have it the same but either way works. With this double weekend I plan on capturing skills. Problem is it would be easier to get them causing it to be a more poular title.

I vote against this change. Think about it, that would mean your character would have to go through all three campaigns and cap the same elite skill 3 times, it would take you triple the time to cap the same skill just to have the title Kind of a Big Deal. I understand for some they don't have all three campaigns and they are stuck in just one campaign, but that would not be fair for the people who have all three and they would have to spend 3 times the money & effort to cap that skill just to have the title of Kind of a Big Deal.

Like someone else said, the title "Kind of a Big Deal" is an elite title, and it should stay that way.

My vote is against this

Well, I think it would look more nicer to have only one base of Skill Hunter titles, not across the campaigns. It's one of the titles that takes a *lot* of hard work to max out. But people seem to really like this idea, so I can't argue with the masses.

However, I would not like to see an "international" title at all, be it skills or cartorgrapher. I think that's giving a little too much in terms of max titles.

Speaking of max titles, how's the Spearmarshal title going?

This change as far as it sounds is pretty much a sure thing...

Anyway, as stated earlier, it does not mean capping the same skill three times. It is impossible since once you cap it you can't cap it again with the same character - nor is it necessary.

I'd assume the splits per continent will be:
Prophesies: all elite skills in Tyria (total = 90)
Factions: all elite skills introduced in Cantha (total = 90)
Nightfall: all elite skills introduced in Elona (total = 110 (111 with LB Gaze))

the core elites skill dispersed around Cantha and Elona will probably not count towards Skill Hunter Elona/Cantha but most likely go into the title track for Skill Hunter Tyria. People that do not own Prophesies would only be able to fill that track up to the amount of core elites.

I think its a great idea and would make them worthwhile titles to pursue.

Solely for status and not counting toward koabd or pkm i would like a display title for protector, cartographer and skill hunter, across all campaigns. like GMC (2), (3), each time you complete another title of the same type.

Please, do not make campaign specific titles, Gaile.
This will lower the Kind of a Big Deal title and it should be an exclusive title, for players that have put work into getting the title.

I'm not saying that if the campaign specific titles might be launched, the people who are going to get those titles are lamers or anything, but it will certainly make the Kind of a Big Deal title way easier to get and as I stated above -and I've always felt about the title that way- it is something exclusive.

Campaign specific titles or not? My answer is no.

And what comes next?

National versions of all the other titles?

Tyrian Treasure Hunter?
Canthan Seeker of Wisdom?
Elonian Drunkard?


Its a ridiculous suggestion and I'm horrified that so many people vote in favour of it. I'd suppose its because they're all after the big, shiny titles... but are failing to realise that the more people have those titles, the less big and shiny they are....

But besides it cheapening the KoaBD title, it cheapens the Skill Hunter title as well. Afterall... the current Skill Hunter progression sounds more impressive than any further nation-specific ones would, and actually gives the impression of having to have travelled to get those skills. Start splicing it down to national titles and that effect is completely ruined...... not to mention the fact that quite a few elite skills are core and available on multiple continents....


Why the heck should the Skill Hunter progression be maximisable just for the sake of all the unworthy gimps who want more to get to the KoaBD? "Kind of a Big Deal" isn't so named for nothing... Its supposed to be difficult!

They'd best change the KoaBD title into CUT (Completely Useless Title) since everyone has it.
311 Elites. I vote yes for the change. It helps campaign specific players, and the international titles encourage players to purchase more campaigns. More copies of the game sold leads to a bigger and more stable community. More money for Anet to keep making games, more people to play with, more to work for and get involved with. Capping takes alot of work, like someone had pointed earlier its harder then the cartography titles (in a sense I would believe). You yourself being ignorant really didn't contribute to a valid position on the negative side. Infact I think the only thing you guys got to work off is that it makes the KoaBD titles less flashy... Thats just like saying smoking is good because the government gets money from it.

Just because it cheapens teir 1 of KoaBD doesn't mean they shouldn't change the titles. The KoaBD and PKM titled wil likely have another tier or two added soon. That just mean PKM will be the KoaBD. Don't get your panties in a bunch. If you already have KoaBD and are worrying about it being cheapened, go max another title or two so when they split you can can PKM.

If you put the Maxed Titles track aside, what reason do you have to vote against the split of the Skill Hunter title? Other than maybe saying the prestige of having Elite Skill Hunter is more than the Prestige of seperate tracks, but thats only if you have all 3 campaigns. So those with just 1 or 2 campaigns, the new skill titles will be jsut as presitgous as the old skill title.

BTW I'm pretty sure they've already decided to split the titles. We just haven't gotten the update yet.

If you cheapen tier one, you obviously taint the rest of the tiers. It just means you have to do that less/same amount of work for more titles.

I like the idea of the split, just had to point out the lack of logic in this post.

Yeah, that sounds arsey, but I really feel no need for this feature. I don't care if it does, I just don't see why.

And no you dont taint the rest of the tiers. With the release of more campaigns it becomes easier to get KoaBD and PKM anyway. And its not like the split just a free title. You actually had to have capped all the skills, which in IMO is worth a max title. And if they add more tiers to PKM (which they should), i dont see how it cheapens it. You still have to max X number of titles to get KoaBD, PKM, and whatever the next tier(s) may be.

Maybe my logic is flawed. And yea maybe it cheapens KoaBD a little. But there is still a steep work curve, between KoaBD and PKM, and whatever the next tier maybe. So IMO it doesnt really cheapen it that much.

Considering there is like 16 max titles you can currently have maxed. The Skill Hunter Split will add 3 max titles (1 for each campaign yea?) to give a total possible of 19. As well the next campaign will easily add 2 more, putting the total over 20. So assuming they add onto PKM, its still VERY hard to reach the highest level. It just makes the work curve steeper as you climb the ranks of PKM.

But hey everyone is entitled to their opinion

(291 elites capped)The fact that the skill hunter title cannot be maxed out as it is currently set up has caused many people to complain about it. There were many, many people sitting with 180 elites capped in Prophecies and factions just waiting to max out the title with an additional 45 they could get with the release of Nightfall (before Nightfall, the max title was set at 225 elites capped). With the release of Nightfall, the requirement for the max title went up - beyond what it's possible to get with all three chapters - resulting in the complaints.

As for the KoaBD title, there are supposedly five tiers to that track now. What the three titles after PKM are hasn't been publicized.

I have always thought that the skill hunter title was a waste especially since you can only use one Elite on your bar at a time.

On my ranger, I have unlocked every non-elite skill on 5 classes in all three chapters as well as many of the decent elites for those classes. While that does indeed allow me a more versitile build on my heroes. I find it to be somewhat of a waste as well as I know I will never use many of the poorerly developed skills. There isn't a title for that kind of skill collecting either. I have even heard it mentioned by some that because of the amount of XP that it takes to do that, some have found it more impressive.

I am not advocating the deletion of this title but rather a more encompassing skill title that includes the unlocking of non-elites.

Total skills available including non elites:
Core 241
Prophecies 214
Factions 330
Nightfall 350

not really as you are really only getting 2 new titles, thats still 8 more for PKM, which is still alot. the fact that low tiers are easier to get doesnt make the hard to get ones cheaper.

its like giving a slacker 2 answers to a test, sure they will do better but they still arnt going to get an A

To those that say it cheapens the title, look at it this way.

Lets say I have 2 maxed titles plus Skill hunter. Lets say you have KOABD + skill hunter. If the proposed change goes through, I get KOABD. You get 3 more titles.
We're the same distance apart, and you still have the opportunity to get People Know Me. Rather than cheapening the title, it makes people that get the Higher tiers of this title stand out more, as well as rewarding the Skill hunters with a maxable title.

But that's just my two cents

Its probably just my opinion.... but I think "Kind of a Big Deal" sounds a lot better than "People Know Me" .... so I'd honestly sooner have the first tier title. As long as its still rare, its still worth having.... but if this change is put forward, it will become far easier to aquire and won't seem worth it. I mean sure... it will then be a bit easier to go for the "People Know Me" title, but I personally think that one looks like crap. Ironically... my real-life name pretty much means "People Know Me" ... and the less I'm reminded of that, the better...

Yep.... just you.
I think "Kind of a Big Deal" looks pretty awesome, but I suppose that might be because I have an innate love of understatements. O'course it'll never be as awesome a title as "Incorrigable Ale-Hound" ...

And if there is another title I want to get that isn't presently possible.... its "Hated" .... which as I recall is the max-rank title for consistantly losing at the dragon festival games... or something like that. I really want that one on my necro.... desperately.

Sweeping generalizations FTL. You have no clue who 'has a life' and who doesn't. By your logic, even though i've been playing the game for over a year and a half, just because I have KOABD I have no life?
