The gamer one is for games palyed during events, the other one is a commander title for hero battles. Not exactly ground-breaking, but running around with L33t Skillz (i hope it goes Skillz, Mad Skillz, L33t Skillz) will be pretty groovy methinks.

The question is: Will people play Hero Battles for that title?

Hero Battles and Heroes Ascent are only different now that they made it 2 heroes/hench. He was right, HA was just Hero Battles up until today.

I saw slightly more people today in hero battles, but not as much during the double faction in hero battles event.

RA is still more fun than Hero battles IMO, though now I'll have to get the title, just to show off.

As much as I like the Hero Battles, your statement is pretty much true. I'm so tired of fighting Rit holding builds there. You get an opportunity to test out some builds and yet all people want to do is play cookie cutter builds.

The Gamer titles are irritating... Titles like "Skillz" ect really should stick with games like Counterstrike and the lot. Couldn't ANet think of something more creative than those words?

Im sure others have lots more tho, I joined a team last nite 7 games into their run and I got 27 consec, and they were on 34 so they must have had more than me. (We only lost cos of the update )

(edit- Wiki already has the 3 tiers listed, does this mean we already have a level 2 somewhere?)

Kinda disappointed in the title names, for playing fun-spirited holiday games like the snowball fight they could've come up with title names that weren't inspired by the Internet Jerk's Dictionary. Oh well... at least there's a title to win for playing the holiday games.

I actually like that they're using those words for the levels.
Like it or not we're playing an online game and while leet speak can be downputting at times it's a reflection that it's used in many many online community games.

I don't mind it at all.
I'd much prefer L33t Skillz over "Awesome player!" anyday.
As long as downputting terms stay out I think it's ok.

I got 710 points now....

Such a shame, really. I won a lot during the first day so I didn't get too many eggnogs. But now that the eggnog reward is gone.....I seem to loss 3 matches in a row before I would win once....

And no eggnog.

Similar experience. Wonder why that is.

Well the Commander title is pretty much lamed up now because tons of people are doing the "rolling" thing. It works by both people rolling dice in the beginning of the match and the loser has to quit so they can get the title faster. Very lame.

It's gotten to the point where a quarter of my matches, I have people yelling at me for not rolling. People never cease to amaze me at the lame things they do.

For some reason the L33T Skillz part of GuildWiki has been removed, replaced with a "?". Anyone gotten Tier 2 Gamer yet? Only at 710 -.-

250 points can be done easy in a few hours of rolling and you get 10k faction boost for that... lame? not really, lame is fighting X/Rit holding builds 250 times until you get those points.. ya, thnx, but no.

you are not serious lol. I will have to check this out.

I remember a time when casinos (rolling for gold) was bannable but in this case rolling for points towards a title lol. I wonder if a sub culture will form around this. Would be funny to go into RA one day and start seening players "rolling" lol.

Edit:

I have a suggestion for you when faced with such a problem. When the other player ask you to roll, roll the dice. If you win, they quit, free points. If you lose the roll, make small chit chat and proceed to ATTACK the player and catch him off guard lol. Do this often enough, players will start losing faith in rolling and start fighting more. Enjoy
