With the introduction of titles, it became obvious to me that all sorts of useless information about your character was being stored somewhere.
So surely there must be some information on the amount of monsters you've killed and what type they were?
This could lead to some great titles, such as "Charrbane" or "Scourge of the Aatxe".
Make them limitless so they don't count towards KoaBD, but it would be fun to have a title that let everyone know your bloody-minded, psychopathic desire to wipe all Rain Beetles off of the face of the planet
Hell, if not titles, then some sort of summary page listing each monster type and how many of them you've killed, something that a few single player RPGs have done in the past

In fact, expanding on that last idea, some sort of in-game bestiary would be VERY cool; something that only filled with entries as and when you encountered the monsters, with special entries for bosses
Some of the monsters have fantastic character, and knowing more about them would add a lot of flavour to the game.

I think the idea is interesting. It would be neat to earn titles for killing a large amount of certain monster types. Some titles would mean less than others, but it would be pretty cool to have something like 'Margonite Slayer'.

The numbers would be skewed easily though because of farming.

An indepth stats page is something I thought would be nice to have too.

I wholeheartedly agree with this, i remember something similar in a game called "vagrant Story" which gave you statistics on specific enemy classes you had killed, Killing an enemy in this game also unlocked its picture and statistics of health, mana, skills used etc in a beastiery. It was a very nice touch....I would love to know hom many armoured cave spiders i have killed on beach runs...

It'd be similar to the idea behind Lightbringer, so I like the idea.

This will give some use to the "of Prunning" mod. People going for the "Gardener" title would love to have a Prunning mod.

I think something like this would be fun. I would love to have a personal stat's page. Showing usage of skills, total damage etc. It would also be cool to have a mission summary after the end of a mission ie: you dealt x damage, lost x health, etc. Maybe have a ranking for the skills you used, to see total damage per use or something. Might be a nice idea for tweakign builds.

But I digress../signed

I'll love this.
In many games like leyend or Mana or Temple of Elemental Evil you have logs of how many creatures of each kind you killed.

In the tittles tab, there will be the tittles.
- Plants
- Dragons
- Skales
- Skree
- Demons
- Beats
- etc...

Some special creatures (hard, unique, but not bosses) may be out of this or have a common title:
Shiro, Kuunavagh, Glint, The Lich Lord, Varesh, Abaddon, Urgoz...

I have often wished that deaths were tracked seperately for PVP and PVE, and that your PVP kill count was tracked...

It's the best amazing idea in GW. Kill counting always great and more fun with the game, i want play more time with GW, and that's idea kill counting can do it, with a bestiary is too good for me.

How would one differentiate between foes of different levels? One level 20 may go out and kill 50 lvl 20 Charr while another level 20 goes out and kills 100 lvl 5 Charr.... Would the title only operate on those that are levels 20+ like the wisdom title only works on gold items?

Could do, could do...
Quite pleasantly surprised to see this bumped actually
The "Bestiary" part of the idea still appeals to me; a book with various lore and skill entries for different monster types and bosses would be very cool.
Especially if they only got filled as and when you killed that type of monster or boss.

Reply to Freon41:
What did you say when you not Charrslayer, you are Rotscale slayer with 100 kill of them, that's harder.. X)

edit: I think a /kill command is also a big advance in this game, it's an MMORPG or not?

love the idea of the kill count but loved even more the idea of the beastiary, sometimes i so bored but i want to keep playing, so u check ur beastinary to know the beast uve killed and learn more about GW, it would be nice if it come with some osrt of info of the mob and the skills thy use and/or locations, very nice to me, would saved a lot of time making builds instead of going to wiki to look for everything u need to know.

But more over, I want a title for slaying certain bosses from certain areas. Just to reference the factions campaign you would get a title for each of the bosses you've slain that are always found in a certain area, like if you've killed all the bosses in the Echovald Forest, you would get Defender of the Forest (1), or have ranks based on how many bosses from that area you've killed. so something like L33t God of the Echovald Forest (5) for all of them perhaps? Indeed.

Would a death go towards your count if you didn't make the actual killing blow? Or would the entire party gain the benefit of the death?

Just curious. I like the idea of a kill count. Good fun.

Rather good idea. Several points are brought up though that may need clarification. 1 Who actualy killed the monster? I think that the servers do keep track of that so it may not be too hard to give the correct player the credit. Monster lvl's? In agreement that if you do not get exp from it you do not get a kill count from it (on the oher hand if they have a total stats page it would be nice to know how many of each lvl I killed) A seperate title for boss killing would be better. All in all a good idea.

Yes beastenary, stat page and kill count /signed /signed /signed
Even if whe have to keep our stat page clientside for preformance reasons, it would still be really great.

As for the coun't I say you killed something when you delath at lest 70% of the damage to it before it died, (including the 2 damage per second for each pip of health degeneration, counting only direct damage would not be fair)

As for PvP maybe it should track the amount of people killed from a certain profession, or a similar build or if they where killed in GVG/HA/Random/Team/Faction Battles.

A cute idea. I miss the kill count I got used to in Sacred. If they make such a thing in GW even if you can't show it to others it will be entertaining indeed.

Hm....

/Kills
Shows:
- Total number of kills you(and your parties) have made. Each time you earn XP, even if you earn 0XP, one kill is counted.
- Creatures killed so far in the current instance. Both in PvP and PvE.
- Remaining creatures. PvE only. Says how many creatures are leaft alive (without counting animals and 'hidden' enemies that pop-up)
