What is the point of this change? Passage Scrolls were THE answer to the issue of one region holding favor most of the time. The only problem were their drop rates.
Couldn't they have just upped the drop rates of Fissure/Underworld Scrolls and left the mechanic alone?

LOL WUT?? I'm guildless >_>. Back on topic they should just create an alternate way of getting uw/fow scrolls thats fair. Not far fetched ideas like this 20 title to max for favor. Don't even think it works properly either from what I saw.

Maybe I'm crazy... but you already have to ascend to access it.. couldn't that be enough?

This system has flaws... huge ones.
Essentially 20 people need to gain favor... 20 people need to get a max title within hours. I think this is completely ridiculous.
Make FoW and UW completely open in my honest opinion, if your even trying to implement a system like this at all. Ecto's have already skyrocketed to 7k. Now either you have the entire world at a complaint, or the entire world at ease. This system actually causes frustration, not many people grind to have legendary survivor, at least with HoH favor there was a system that gave dedication as its reward.
I play on the Euro Servers and I am living in North America. Europe seems more dedicated to the game then America was. Often enough for the past week America has only gotten favor at about 12 EST. Which is ridiculous.
I am not switching servers back just yet, and I know im being skeptical but like someone already pointed out. If the length was extended to say 10 more minutes instead of 3 I would like this system alot more. Also the amount of required max titles to perhaps 10? Either way I find 20 more then redundant among both pvp'ers and pve'ers. PvP players are at the hands of PvE now which is the exact same problem as before you cannot gain a max pvp title they contribute nothing.

Seriously. How many months did it take to come up with this utter tripe of an idea?

How about we give it ATLEAST one day for testing before we all complain maybe? Call me crazy, but I bet Anet is testing it themselves.

I work as a game tester (not with Anet), something bothering me in this case: is the sentence 'The Test Event has ended.' a DEBUG text bug/issue or not?
The Severity will 'B' if something like that happened in my testing lol

Mmm i can see perhaps why it is like this; Anet did want to encourage your title progression because you will get rewarded for it in guild wars2 and GW:EN!
Perhaps this is the wrong way though......
Maxing out full titles is a long task and i thought the old favour brought the PVE and PVP together??
At some point almost everyone will have max titles and everything will slow down! Then it would be left with the country with the highest population wins!?
I am not in favour for this idea but i will see what happens! who knows maybe it will work out.

Yes, but if they used both the old and the new systems, it would still be plausible to get more than 1 hour of access per week, while still allowing all regions to get access every once in a while.
The problem I have with this system is as follows: With the old system, there were ALWAYS _someone_, somewhere in the world who had access to the Realms of the Gods. Now however? There will be (more or less) large periods of time where NOONE has access to Realms of the Gods, outside of scrolls.
In the end, it greatly limits the overall access to the regions, however it may raise the access in such regions as Japan.

What??? Are you sure you're playing guild wars? All I saw in game were people who gained the maximum rank in a title had their names displayed. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Game_updates:August_2007

"Favor will now be granted based on character-driven achievements. Each time a character achieves the maximum rank in a qualifying title, the world will be one step closer to gaining the gods' favor."
I bolded, italiced, and underlined the operative phrase so you can read it a little better.

Well, at least I got something to do when I'm bored:
Stay in town waiting for the titles and greeting the players!!

Two theories come to mind:
1) A whole lot of people have been secretly saving up their maxed titles for just such a day to come along.
2) Anet actually knows what they're doing.
(Ponders)
Oukanna
Yeah its only max ranks that alter the favour!
http://www.guildwars.com/gameplay/pvp/favorupdate.php
On further thought, this new system does provide more access to places like Taiwan etc ...maybe they should just change the system to a rotation system......makes it completely fare and everywhere gets a turn!

It would be nice for them to add a few more outlets for getting titles for GW:EN, ones we already have avialable.
liiike polymock gets you an ale or sweet item
But i wonder why they didnt add vanquisher titles to the list.

It's really not that hard for them to see the average # of max titles are achieved per hour. I'm sure they just found the average # needed to keep it going at 3 min chunks.

I think its great that they changed the system to allow more countries to favor instead of Europe all the time but it seems to me that in doing so they made it pointless to play Heroes Acent which personally I would only play so that America could get favor.
