Quests provide most varied and generally quite enjoyable experience in gw, I dont recall any title that would promote more varied gameplay and offer a LOT to do without repetition, and beat most other titles in dificulty and dedication needed.

One would think that there ought to be some kind of recognition you would get for doing it all except having empty quest long and no "!"s on top of npc heads.

Its a good point, there must be thousands of quests out there. Do you think it would be better to have a title for each campaign? Or just an overall one?
Say for 2500 quests completed or something
(maybe an exaggeration - anyone have an idea how many side quests there are in GW overall?)

No idea (how many quests there are) but it would motivate me to clean my quest log out more than the 50g and XP i get for them. WOW 50g AND useless XP thats worth the effort

Think it would have to be by number done as there are some do this or that and thats lots of IF and OR lines for Anet to program.
Good thing is they CAN see what quests we have done, the update were they gave skills to people that did a quest on the GWEN preview but didn't get the skill shows that

Maybe is not hard to implement, but remember some quests are for tyrians only, profession only, and so on; So, no idea how many quests should they add for a maxed title.

Maybe a good idea will be counting only the quests available for all characters and professions, and count again in hard mode. Quest is hard mode is a very good idea IMO.

I say is easy to implement, because there are already a system ingame marking quests as done or undone.

Could be like GMC. Get titles for percentages of each land and a Ledgendary for all 3 (or 4 as GW:EN has quests but that didn't fit with my GMC comparison)

This title would have to exclude all primary quests and only be for optional quests I think.

Which does make sense since we have a statue for completing all of Sorrows Furnace quests, why not a title?

Really good idea. I like it. If its introduced I can have a title, without spending lots of money to get it. If its introduced, I can actually make money off this title..

Quests (level 20+) are stupid in Guild Wars, as they tell you where to go, no intelligence required. And chances are, you don't need the reward.

Yeah I'd like to see quest titles, but, have to exclude newbie areas as they won't give us those quests when we come from other chapters. A title for each chapter would be good and then one grand quest title for doing all that you can from each chapter. But that title should include all the elite areas and boss mob quests as well. That would be the elite quest title and only deserving of the elite players.

This idea has been out there for a while. In addition to the above comments, the one that comes up is how would you know which quest you've missed when you're at 998 of 1000 done?

They added an "uber quest" to FoW and UW to help you track their completion, but there's no visual marker or list of completed quests.

That being said - the completionist in me would really love to see this implemented since I *think* I've completed all the known quests.

Have you done those ones you get from Bokka after the completion of Nightfall? :P
I bet hardly anyone has.

But on the point of knowing what needs doing. It's just the same as cartography. Without the mod you are almost working blind by the end. You'd just have to go through the quest checklist ticking off the ones you remember.

Yeah, that's for missions and dungeons aswell.

This idea has been around since the explosion of titles, and I would consider it one of the most basic and best ones to implement. An Adventurer title track would be great, and pretty easy i assume.

Best thing is the possibility of doing quests in Hard Mode (as a requirement of the title)

That will be fun, specially the first areas in Tyria (Ascalon), reviving the old days, in HM.

I like the idea if they could also add a way for me to tell which quests I have and haven't done; there's so many I always forget which character has done what.

Maybe like Seut said - a hero's handbook/logbook thingy that you could complete and hand in for some sort of reward? That would be nice, and make the quests easier to keep track of.

How do you propose they keep track of who's done which quests, to make the title retroactive? Not like they've been keeping track of it now.

Barring that, how would they go about making the title fair for everyone: reactivate every quest for everyone, and you have to do it over again? No thanks...

They have been keeping track, that's the point.

During the bonus weekend players did quests but didn't get certain skill rewards because the skills weren't made yet. When GWEN came out they knew which quests people had done and rewarded them with the skills they didn't get.

If they didn't keep track how would they knew when to stop displaying a quest marker over someone's head?

You do get rewarded for completing quests. There's a reason most of the quests aren't repeatable - they aren't very interesting. The interesting ones are repeatable, and mostly they're called "missions". And you do get a title for them. There are a few interesting repeatable ones that aren't called missions, so you don't get a title, but you do get a little statue in a special room.

However /signed, because it would be nice to get to the top of the maxed titles rank without having to do too many of the frivolous titles.

Sure as hell pisses me off.

I think it should be implemented this way, pre-searing quests, native only quests, and all that jazz not included. Split the title into, Tyria, Cantha and Elona. Then have a title for amassing all the quests together, Legendary Adventurer.

I'd say all quests are tracked. The fact that a green exclamation mark doesn't appear above someone's head shows that anet knows we've done that quest.

Maybe anet's just not sure what to do with repeatable quests? Though I reckon it couldn't be that hard to know if someone's done it at least once.

That is a different idea, in that case they must add titles similar to GW:EN: Friend of Ascalonians, Friend of Krytans, Friend of Vabbians, and so on.

Its an interesting and nice idea but I doubt it will be implemented. GW staff seems to be getting ready to sit down hard and work on GW2. I dont see them adding anymore titles to GW (unless they are BPM titles -_-)

its not really nething to get a title about.
Your asking Anet to give us a reward for doing
Fedex quests takes this here, protect this person, find this, go to this town and talk to this NPC,
I can understand why Anet does not give reward for all all quests done they just wanted somethin for the players to do so they made 70% of the quests Fedex quests and the others Master diffaculty or dungeon or elite and you get rewards for doing the elite quests DOA/Urgoz/deep/uw/fow/SF as well as title rewards for doing Dungeons.

Separate titles for each campaign simply because not everyone owns each and every campaign/expansion.

Good idea btw.

It should be the most important achieveng title.

The title of Adventurer, that punishes those that keeps quests undone to fart, and treats those that love the game and make all quests!

Gaile has already stated that she likes the idea. I wonder if she passed the info to the developers.

Which sadly is a trend in mmorpgs.

I wouldn't mind seeing a quest completion title. It'll probably be a bit of a grind, but most titles are anyway, right? It would also give me some motivation to do more of the quests, apart from the profession/skill quests in Prophecies, and the Cities of Ascalon quest for obvious monetary reasons.

Thank you for suggesting this been thinking about quest title as well,

If this is introduced I'd have free titles... maybe not! well I might have one that I miss out, I recently saw Davona outside Serenity Temple with an exclamation on her when I was trying to Vanquish that area, I don't run towards the end of the game, every stage of the game is played as they are meant to be played unless the quest is not an obvious one and need to take them out of town, i say i have 90% completed. yes do it do it... faster to reach God Status... if it were sperated into campaigns MWAHAHAHAHA

Also anyone think it should matter weather you are doing the quests while in HM or in NM.

Currently you are free to chose, but quest done in NM are not repeatable in HM.
