Luck Title new tier?

Titles are just dumb, IMO. Just a bunch of ridiculous grind. PvP titles, Vanquisher Title, and Mission Completion titles are the only ones I take seriously, because you get them by playing the game, not standing in town clicking on brownies.

Urrrghh this supposed increase is absolutely ridiculous. I always set out for Golden, but once I've gotten that I seriously doubt i can be bothered going for another rank that demands over double of the rank we were informed was max for so long ¬_¬

They're all completely optional?

why would titles matter besides a way of showing how big your ego or epeen is. These optional resource titles are goldsinks designed to award those who have stacks of ectos to spend.
The cartographer, mission completions,vanquisher, skill hunter,sunspear/lightbringer, and the several pvp titles including the allegiance titles are the worthwhile titles. (play the game and get basically)
Of the 4 resource titles mentioned, only the treasure and wisdom titles have a purpose for the player. The sweet tooth and drunkard titles only contribute to Kind Of A Big Deal etc.

PvE is basically a grind-based game after a player went thru the story and explorable areas. Generally true for most other games IMHO, so stop complaining.

If you don't like how the lucky title may have an additional tier added then don't go for it. The only reason why people went for the lucky and unlucky titles was to gain an easy max title which no effort involved besides the gold required to buy stacks of tickets.

Titles give a purpose and a goal. Without titles, there's basically no purpose to play the game since there is no goal to achieve besides fun.

All this grind to unlock achievements for GWEN and thus GW2 makes me rather fearful of what they have in store for GW2...

.... You think that addition is bad?

They removed "Hated" from the Unlucky title track altogether! I spent hours and tons of platinum on tickets to get Unlucky track points just so I could try and get closer to Hated.... and for what? Nothing! They've taken it away... and now we just get "Wretched" and "Jinxed" ... both of which sound downright retarded........ and the absolutely epic "Cursed by Fate", which despite sounding a bit better than the other two is practically unobtainable. >_<;;

Meh... These weekend events at least are still cheaper than voluntarily breaking lockpicks. Those things cost a bloody fortune...

So, we are waiting for confirmation in regards to the lucky title. There are a number of people that will probably get lucky (5) this weekend, so we will just have to wait to be sure. I look foreward to it.

People on wiki are jumping the gun and reading into things they dont know. But hey, its the internet.

this bloody well better be a joke!
after afk-ing from the start i am currently at 600k and it seems ill need 2 more weekend event to get to max (that is if i can scrape up the gold for it!). and if we had ... what ... 4 events in 1 year - that means i should reach tier 5 by the start of 2008.
how the hell can anyone that wasnt here from the start hope to reach max if they dont make the events happen more often? especially if there really is a new tier!

excuse me while i go afk the anger away!

I'm with you on this one. I find any other title just pointless. Why go for a title that doesn't show your talent at all, but how much time your willing to waste on non-skilled titles.?

Lucky is a money sink, duh.

and the sky is blue

I like the max being 2,500,000... if I ever get r7 treasure hunter, it will get me pretty near it... in theory if you ran 10,000 chests and retained every time.. that'd be blessed by fate!

People are complaining because they wasted 500kish-700kish already on these titles based on (potentially) false information from an official Anet website that were only 5 tiers.

We can stop complaining when Anet puts a refund quest in to give back all the gold to people take away their titles too who were misled by false official information and chose to waste a ton of gold based on that false information, and now based on the new information of added tiers want their money back. Or better yet they can simply keep the titles at 5 tiers as they were advertised to be on an official Anet website.

The talk in this thread saying these titles are "easy" to get is nonsense. Getting 500k-1 mill is extremely hard, and the immense time and energy to do that should not just arbitrarily be flushed down the drain by Anet adding more tiers out of the blue for no reason.

You don't have to get these titles you choose to get them. They are afterall more for status, if even that, and less for practical use. Besides nobody said that you have to max them out and nobody said you have to get them all. If you're putting in the time and effort to get these titles you should want to get them, not feel as though you're forced to get them. And that's exactly what these and many of the other titles are, they're purely for the players interest and further enjoyment of the game. So if you don't enjoy it then don't do it.

Furthermore the max tier of these titles should be hard to get and not something someone can do if they put in 2 hours a week. Of course you could always say that there are the secondary effects of the titles which effect the retention of your weapon/armor salvages of mods and use of lockpicks. But has the implimentation of these effects taken anything away from the game? Has it now become much harder to salvage a mod off a weapon? The answer is no it hasn't become much harder. Infact the inherent effects of these titles has made it nothing but easier to get the mod that you wanted while giving you a certain % chance of retaining what you were taking the mod off of.

As for how adding new levels to the max (un)-lucky titles, yes it's disapointing to find out. However, if people were basing their cost/time input on highest tier shown on wiki or other sites then they would ofcourse still have both the gold/time time move on to the next tier. Because the ability to work towards this event only occurs once in a blue moon then the 'planning' for this title is irrelivant. As for the cost of this title it's not as if people walk away from these weekend events saying 'Uh oh now I have to earn back all the gold I wasted so that I can get ready for the next event.' People realize that the ability to work towards this title only comes around every now and then. So anyone who is going for higher levels of this title will have stockpiles of gold that they can use; therefore it's not as big of a problem as some people make it out to be. But if you can't earn back the gold that you spent on tickets in the 3 or more months between events then you probably shouldn't be going for this title.

And finally this title is earned by going afk and standing in a circle and by people who have nothing better to do with their gold. Another tier? Big deal!

If they did add a new tier, then I'm glad I didn't waste that much money on the lucky title track.

PlayNC is the company that invented korean grindfest.

They are just going back to the roots.

Apparently the massive losses they've had with all games with exception of GW didn't convince them that it's a bad idea.

If it's any consolation, you'll always be hated in my eyes.

And even if it are 2.500.000 points.
If you run chests you can get near it and don't forget that it's an account based title. Which means that whenever you open a chest with a lockpick you gain points.

Í had 511.000 before the weekend started but I didn't have the chance yet to go afk^^ (How you do that? ) But yeah, I hope I make it to 50.000 losses before it ends. Currently I'm at537.876/36.885. Guess I won't find out about a new trier myself.

Um... would you rather have nothing to work towards?

Yes, most titles are for grinders. If you're not a grinder, I can see why you would not care about them, but I don't understand why you would oppose them.

If you were actually working towards Lucky (6), I still don't see how an addition of another tier is frustrating... you can still get your Lucky (6) and display it and get the same bonus to retaining lockpicks. So you haven't lost anything other than a potential KoaBD point. And if you were doing lucky just to get a KoaBD point, there's something wrong with you, not with the title... it's one of the hardest titles to get. Kinda like saying "Let me go get rank 15 so I can have another KoaBD point.

Well to start off on this terrible post by you, Lucky title is in no way a hard title to get, just takes too much time. And about working on a title just to get the end result, what title don't you do that with? If I am working on cartographer, I won't stop at 99.9%, I'd get the 100%. Why would someone "work" so hard on this title if they didn't want to get max in the end. With the recent change to Lucky, it will now take over double the initial amount to reach max. That is something definatly worth complaints.
