Boss Killing title?
Wertic
What do you think about a boss killing title? (with high amounts of bosses needed to max ofcourse)... Would'nt it be a fun addon to the already existing Wisdom and Treasure hunter titles?

As long as they make it so that killing the same boss more than once cannot give you more than 1 point.

but only if they do as MorpheusDV says and limit the number of points to 1 point to the bosses no matter how many times that you actualy kill it.

but you have to kill different bosses (dunno how they would somehow make sure you couldnt kill the same boss over ans over) and they would have to high leveled bosses rather than the lvl 5 bosses

I'd assume that it'd be based upon killing EVERY different boss in the campaign, both high and low level...
But this seems to me that it'd be a lot easier than mapping, so I don't know if there would be a point in this, as well you'd more than likely get this title while mapping...

We allready have the Skill Hunter title. Its nearly the same, to cap a boss' skill you gotta kill it..

yet it costs a hell of a lot less... my skill cap is about 1k already... so killing bosses would be better for those with less money

I'd love a boss killing title, it'd be incentive for people to go to Mineral Springs every once in awhile.

Rank
Exploration

Wisdom (if you do not buy your golds, or use chests in them)
I am sure there are more, I am just not on the game atm :b

This is distinct from the skill capping title, since many bosses carry duplicate elites, especially with core elites. There are also plenty of bosses that don't carry any elites at all, especially in the earlier parts of campaigns. I'd be curious to know how many boses, total, there really are between the campaigns. If the number's as high as I suspect, this might be a fun and challenging title.

one thing i would add tho is like a bestiary so you know which ones youve killed and which ones you havent.

Or even the other way around if you are already traveling to every corner of the map to kill all the bosses then just a tiny bit more effort will get you the mapper title. My point is that you are absically giving people the opportunity to do 2 titles at once, which then begs the question, what's the point?

Technically, all the titles are free, when you buy the game you have 0 gold.
What people mean by free is that it's concurrent to existing titles. Skill capping alone would get you points for both titles with ZERO extra work.
I'd love to see you get any of the other titles without spending a single in game coin(aside from beggin for free stuff from other people). Everything has costs involved, to get as far as Kryta to get lucky/unlucky points, and free holiday booze, would be nearly impossible with starting armor and weapons.

i say /signed.
This would be a great challenge on top of the skill capping.
There have been very few new title ideas that i have NOT liked though.

It's not, not by a long shot. Sure, you get a freeby every now and then. but that's it.
Sometimes a Boss killed for skill cap drops a gold, doesn't make them the same either.
Anyways, it's actually cheaper to buy 100 golds, on account of mods, than it is enough to buy 100 keys+(insert variable)Keys for golds. Given, enough people have to farm golds to sell them cheap enough. 1k, I'll jump at the chance, cause the key would cost 400-600 anyways, and my return from selling the even crappy modded gold weapons covers alot of the difference.
Every Skill cap does guarantee a boss kill, there's zero chance involved.
That's provided you go for caps first then bosses, otherwise you're wasting time.
/Definitively unsigned, 90 skill caps is 90 bosses killed(whatever # the cap title is), however you look at it, the same cannot be said for any other two titles.

The Skill Cap title makes a 'Boss Killing' title obsolete.
More importantly, there are many logistical problems. What about bosses that are added in expanded content? What about duplicate bosses in an area? What about Bosses that only spawn on specific quests and missions for specific chapters?
If you don't have enough gold for cap sigs, then you'll simply need to earn more to get the title. The upcomming Green Weekend would be a pretty good opportunity for that.

"Pwnage In A Box [] (5)"

Even though Skye Marin says that the skill capping would make the title useless since you have to kill bosses. I think it's still valid because there are lots of bosses with the same elite out there.
In Prophecies, Markis and this Dune Burrower on the Ring of Fire have Barrage.
Two Azure Shadow bosses have Illusionary Weaponry.
People go cap Signet of Judgment at the Granite Citadel, but a boss azure shadow has it.
And then you guys can find the rest =D

If a person completes both Skill Cap and Mapping title tracks, there is a very good chance that he would also simultaneously complete the proposed "Boss Killing title."
That's not my main issue with it though. The logistics outwieght it. I don't directly oppose it; I just don't see it being practical for ANet to implement and track.

Its been done before. Unlike asking for more storage or a longer ignore list. This one is just never gonna happen. Its a silly idea.

It would extend the game a bit longer, plus would go hand and hand with mapping.

This title is way to easy to get, When you play through the game you'll kill everyboss at least once anyway so it's kinda lame to add a title co-existing with Skill Hunter, that in it's turn requires more tactics than a regular boss-kill title /notsigned |

Like someone said:
Yeah, it would be like a new "free" title
But as far as I know, no one just walks around killing bosses for fun if there is a max level of 2500 bosses to kill (or something), and as far as I know, there isnt 2500 skills out there to cap either.
Just face it, It does not go hand-in-hand with the Skill Cap title!

1)I am sure the people that farm the bosses for greens really don't want a script that starts tracking the amount of bosses they kill.
2) Unless they make this Campaign specific it would never be able to be maxed out, as with each new campaign they would be adding more.
3) Messes more with the KoaBD Title that people are already complaining about...this would mean that skill cappers would get 6 titles for the price of 3.

Hi, I sign for boss title with 1 point whatever you kill a boss, even if you kill the same many times; I don't see any problem with this, if title doesn't have any inherent effect, no one will "farm" it exploiting easy bosses only for "show" the title, additionally the title should be ridiculous hard to max for avoid title farm.
I also would like another title not just for bosses but for ALL monsters you kill, and also real people you kill (in PvP)

I do, however, believe that such a title would be grossly unfair to the poor level 3 boss places near an outpost in a tutorial area, that would be killed over and and over again by a horde of level 20 players hunting the title.

That "one time" boss kill could be problematic to add, very time consuming for a developer; But a title just counting boss kills is maybe very easy to add; The game already knows everytime you kill one boss, add +2 morale to you.

Most boss spawns are random classes, after a while everyone would loose track which classes they already killed and where.
Besides would force people to join in areas lots of times and would probably give them farming flags

Then why not make the title like this?:
You will earn the title Boss Hunter (1) once you have slain 500 level 20+ (or high-end XD) bosses.
