Okay before I post my idea, I have a question - if you go with someone with the title People Know Me into their Hall of Monuments (if they're the party leader), does the rainbow phoenix still spawn and can you cap it?

Now here is my idea:
I've seen lots of rainbow phoenixes, so obviously some people have at least 10 maxed titles. But my idea is, make the rainbow phoenix like other "elite" pets. For instance, the black widow is in the Underworld, the imperial phoenix is at the end of Factions, and the black moa is in the Echovald forest. How about making the rainbow phoenix in an elite area, like Slayer's Exile? That way you don't have to max 10 titles just for it to spawn. What does everyone else think?

don't really like that idea, because 1) i don't really do ELite areas as i prefere normal play 2) i rather get a pet for maxing out titles then for doing a elite dungon, the pheonix are pretty common as there not that hard to obtain but this would take a while.

btw i dont have rank2 KoaBD yet, so its not about keeping a stick to others.

If it was added to Slaver's Exile then people would start charging for runs to let people cap it.

It's fine how it is, it just takes a little longer to get then normal pets.

Well it wouldn't have to be an elite area, that was just a thought. hehe Uh...*thinks* How about an explorable area with lots of monsters? If there is one like that. Like huge mobs or something. hehe And darn on the no H/H thing.

the rainbow pheonix is a little bonus for people who are into maxing titles, and to be fair 10 maxed titles is really not that hard to get if you really want the pet
3 protectors
4 skill hunters
SS+LB+Delver and you got yourself a pheonix
not hard titles to get just abit time consuming

Getting maxed titles takes way more effort then completing slavers exile.

And besides, it takes a lot of money and time and effort to get a lot of those titles maxed, probably 50x more effort than completing factions, going to the forest, or doing UW.

look at how common the other pets are? Raindow should be the "hard to get one". Spider and normal pheionix are really easy to get...

How is the black moa in any way an elite pet, its easier to get than a wolf and you dont even need to level it, plus every 2 in 1 ranger has it :/

Well I meant it's elite because it shows up in the Hall of Monuments as an actual statue instead of Animal Companion.

And personally I don't care about the phoenix, I have to have a wolf. hehe I just thought it might be easier for everyone as a suggestion.

Heck no. All people R2 and more of max title track would be really pissed off. Getting 10 maxed titles isn't easy and it takes a lot of time! Why should the pet spawn for anyone in some elite area? Go cap the next best thing and be happy about it.

elite areas are fun if you can play with a team build to suit the area.. they're harder than the maxed titles which i'm on 9 so far (4 skill- -3 prot ss and lb) and to say it was easy, yes it was, just takes a lot of time, patience and money.

There is a Vanq title, people would have to kill everything there anyways, everyone in the game could cap it then. Its a special pet for people who have taken the time to get 10 maxed titles to get a "better then the other pets" pet.

I don't like the 'change behavior' way.

I like better the 'add content' way, like this:

The phoenix is cool because neither money nor trivial effort will get it for you; it means something.

Anet has been letting up on PvE some and making things a lil more easily obtainable. The RB Phoenix is one of the few things you really have to work to get now.

i think most rangers get those 10 max titles for the rainbow pheonix...
but since there's a reward for the rangers why dont warriors get like a special sword or something, or mesmers get a special mask...


is it because gaile gray is a ranger?????

You're new to the game aren't you? It's a misconception to think we got PMK just for the Rainbow Phoenix. Many of us got PKM long before there was a RP. I have PKM, and I don't even want the RP.

And any class can get a pet just by using the ranger secondary long enough to tame one. The RPs aren't just for rangers.

The rainbow phoenix was meant as a bonus to someone who has at least 10 titles maxed. It's a privilege, not a right, for people to have them. It's just like saying I want the r5 koabd beam of light in my HoM despite only having 2 titles maxed out. Just a little added bonus for people who have high numbers of maxed titles.

The Rainbow Phoenix is not a pet you want everyone to have. The thing itself is at such a ridiculous size that it agitates other players, especially in PvP play. Then again that is just my opinion on the matter so others will of course view it differently. I think it is a great idea to award players for maxing their titles and see no reason to change that.

Actually, I've already been to the Echovald Forest and the end of Factions, many times.

AND I've beaten Nightfall, and Prophecies, and fought just about every boss on every continent. AND I've started to do the campaigns over again, in HM. After that, I'll go swing at GWEN, in HM.

I think I've done enough to earn my Rainbow Phoenix. Plus, you can hardly call the Echovald Forest "elite". Mithran Arkanere made a thread asking for more legendary pets on the basis that it's unfair for one campaign to have two of the three pets that the HoM considers "Legendary".

To me, the only thing that needs changed about the Rainbow Phoenix is that it should be granted that "Legendary" status.

Like getting the 10 max titles isnt enough... now we have to work to go get a level 5 pet?

Anyone that spends that much time farming and playing can likely go get it wherever it spawns. I think the devs realize that.

Just my 2 cents.

You are right. It has the same size as the Canthan Phoenix.

It should be... BIGGER!

not signed.. a dumb idea.
The Rainbow Phoenix is thought as reward for peoples for maxing titles and thus is also a good motivation for people to max titles at all ...

/notsigned for the reasons everyone has already mentioned. You have to get 10 maxed titles yourself to earn it, it's a symbol of your achievement and would be unfair to those who've earned by doing so if you could get it elsewhere.

Ok, here's the low down on the OP

You have made about 5 threads in the last 3 days or so, basically, all of them about making the game easier to play, because things are just to hard for you to accomplish, apparently.

Please, do not whine because you do not want anything in the game to take any time or effort.

Please go QQ in Ascalon AD1 Local Chat, not in GW Guru. You might manage to get some sympathy there.

I would hate to go do RA or AB and see like, 3 Rainbow Phoenixes, because everyone and their cousin has one. No one wants to see something that takes up the entire screen at like, every PvP battle.

I use that to my advantage in PvP play...It always cracks me up to see an assassin attacking my phoenix (while the rest of my team is still alive) while i beat the crap outta their monk...and have them all be like "assassin wtf are you doing!?" when waiting for a res :P

It's sheer size make it a lovely distraction

it's bad enough seeing that eyesore in my HoM. The less people that have it in pug groups the better.

on a further note; if everyone could get it, no-one would want it.

Not signed. Rainbow Phoenix is the only marginally special pet in the whole game because it is a little bit hard to get. That's the whole point of it. To take that away would be ludicrous.

I think 10 titles is too low. Should be increased to 15 titles needed to make it spawn.
