It would be nice for a title to exist for UAX players, as it is one of the hardest things to achieve.

The title would be a 1 track deal, no in between titles, you just are uax or you are not.

It could simply be called "Enlightened", and obtaining it adds 10k to your Balth faction cap.

THe only problem that I could see with this is that the PvP packs give you a UAX. Maybe instead, they could add something based on Faction earned.

Why would you need a bigger faction cap if you're UAX?

Its really not that hard to become UAX so I think a total faction title would be better

Total faction earned is probably better, else you could just buy the unlock packs for a free title.

Course if you're going on number of skills unlocked, rather than just 1 rank for all skills unlocked or not, maybe have it at per class unlocked. Anet seems to like title ranks, and this way you get 10 ranks for the title. One rank for each class fully unlocked and legendary enlightened or such for full unlocks at rank 10.

You must not be an genius to know, that it has to be called normally UAS ...

PS: or the simple reason is to exchange the X for any other Shortcut like R for Runes, U for Upgrades and so on ...

UAX actually refers to having all skills, runes, mods, and heroes unlocked.

Actually,


UAX = Unlock All X, when X = anything that may be unlocked @ Priest of Balthazar.

Too easy my foot. I got my UAX by getting Legendary Skill Hunter on my Necromancer, having 10 PvE characters, and then another 699k Balthazar for the other unlocks. UAX is not easy to get unless you do a consistent amount of PvP, so this would be a good incentive for those of us who like both PvE and PvP.

Awesome idea, seriously, I would go for people with full unlocks over people with grind-and-farm titles all day. It's very practical to know wether people have full unlocks when you are anxiously looking fore someone to fullfill whatever role in a team.

No, not really. If you have money it's one of the easiest things to do ingame. Visit the online store and plop down a wad of cash buying skills.

But, I'm all for more titles so I'd like to see this. As far as adding value to PvP I don't understand the logic of picking someone with UAX over someone who isn't. Just because my Elementalist hasn't unlocked every Warrior skill in the game doesn't mean she's a bad Elementalist. I'd prefer a title that was more broken down.
Title 1 - Unlocked all Skills in primary profession
Title 2 - Unlocked all Runes
Title 3 - Unlocked all Weapon Upgrades
Title 4 - Full UAX

Also, this title should only be displayable on PvP Only chars. Just because I'm UAX doesn't mean my brand new Level 20 PvE Assassin can use all those skills.

I would agree with this as a PvP account wide title.

It's easy to unlock all skills with cash, but you have to get some Balthazar faction or play a lot to unlock everything else.

Single tier should do.

I think if you're zealous enough to spend an outrageous sum of actual, hard-earned money for a bunch of video game skills, you should get the title like someone who actually played the game first instead.

Me, I'm taking my time unlocking everything. It's going good, but there's no hurry...a title would be nice, but I'm sure a lot of people object because it would create more grind or who knows...

I dunno about the rest of you, but Balth faction is not a grind. Its just something that happens when you GvG lol I dont play to gain faction ^_^

Yeah, I RAed for Glad Points. Balthazar Faction was a sweet little extra that led to me being 7-profession UAXed before I got R1 Glad. I hit HA and got the remaining three in due time. As for whether or not UAX matters, it does. In high-level PvP, people throw a skill and equipment template at you, and expect you to have the unlocks to run it. UAX is insurance against the embarassing "um, I don't have that unlocked" when you finally get into the group of your dreams. I key on UAX as well because of the HA I do, and I'm sure a lot of serious Hero people in PvE key on it too. Being able to know if the person is legitimately UAX would be very nice.

I have to disagree with you there, but I think it might just be a matter of terminology rather than that we're really disagreeing.

If I'm on an HA team and a player joins our team, I expect him to run the build presented to him. This does not require UAX. If a monk joins the team, I except him to be able to run most monk builds. I do not expect him to have all assassin, mesmer, warrior and ranger skills unlocked. I would hope that he has most monk skills unlocked. We could all name some monk skills that will never ever be used in HA. I couldn't care less if he's unlocked those.

The fact is there are over 1500 skills in this game and about 1300+ that will never ever be used by 1 single character. Personally, I have all Warrior skills unlocked, most ranger, most elementalist and a smattering of other professions. Some professions, like monk, I have more than 50% unlocked and others like Paragons I have perhaps 20 skills.

If my warrior joins an HA team, I expect that the team will either allow me to run my current bar or if they are a good team they will give me a warrior bar to run. If they give me a bar filled with non-warrior skills then I have to question why they took on a warrior.

Yes, I know there are exceptions. Some decent bars have mostly non-primary skills like the Necros running Rit bars, but again those are the common skills that you always see and have been unlocked at some point and I probably have them unlocked as well.

Moving onto runes and weapons..... Again this doesn't require UAX. A decent PvP player should have all runes unlocked for the professions he plays in PvP and he should also have all the weapon modifiers unlocked that are needed for that profession.

And of course there is always faction to fall back on. If I have 8-10k faction on me, then I can unlock any of the necessary skills and equipment I'm asked to use. If a player has absolutely none of the skills and equipment unlocked then they should not be playing upper level PvP.

UAX Title= Meh. No more expansions so no more skills(maybe). So eventually everyone will have it. No point.

Total Balth faction Title=ftw. This is ever changing. There's a title for everything else in the game that keeps increasing. Why not this?
