Should we earn gladiator title points in AB?

/signed






















As long as it's 1/1000th of a glad point every time you kill someone.

I personally think you're wrong. Besides stupid.

Why is this thread still open? Everyone knows it's a really really really really bad idea.

/close imo

If it was closed then there would be a lack of dumb suggestions

oh wait....


anyway, /notsigned.

can we get fame in Herrobattles?

same bad idea....

soo notsigned

AB is pvp for pvers.

See the problem is that if every bad idea gets closed, then we wouldn't exactly need a forum section for this. It'd consist of like...5 good posts

Hell no! AB isn't even pvp. Half the time u kill NPCs. TA/RA on the other hand are more challenging cuz ur facing REAL ppl.

/not signed

/notsigned. You get kurzick/luxon faction and title for AB.

nice joke

12 charsss

normally the concept of the gladiator title should be totally changed, because the concept of now is just absolute retarded crap and has nothing to do anyhow with gladiators.

Gladiator Battles were in the medieval mostly EVER 1vs1 Duels and not 4vs4 battles -.- Only exception was, when a fighter should fight with a handicap, then it could have happened, that a Gladiator had to fight vs. 2 foes or even more at once. But these handicaps were made only for the very best of the best gladiators, which vanguished a long row of foes after another.

Gladiator Battles in the medieval were like Horse Race Bets, people made bets on the gladiators, who will win the battle and so higher the handicap, so higher raised the bets.

Gladi Point requirements for the ranks should be just raised by 2 or 5 and therefore should count just every win in a PvP 1vs1 duel for 1 Gladiator Point.
This stuff about, that you have to win 5 times in a row is just a shit concept, not to mention, that the concept of Gladiator Points for RA leads only to the typical problems of Leavers and Leechers.

- With 1vs1 Duels you will not have the problems about Leechers
- Nor either with Leavers, because leaving won#t brign you anything in a 1vs1 or

just disable leaving in Gladiator Battles... Gladiator battles are battles of Life or Death, only exception of leaving a battle would be /resign, but it would accept only, when your character would be under 50% of HP

Would anet change it to this, than would make this Title at least somehow a bit of "Sense".

Gladiator Battles often let the Gladiators also fight with little to strong handicaps against their foes, handicaps, like a persistant Bleeding or Cripple or decreased Energy Regeneration and so on.

When the existing Skilsl don't allow such a 1vs1 pvp yet, then should Anet introduce special "Gladiator-Skills" for each profession - so some PVP only Skills just for the Gladiator Arena, so that all professions have some balanced skills for 1vs1 Battles and then this title becomes just a pure matter of being Skilled enough to win the duels, when everyone of the same profession has the same gladiator skill build.

Then are Gladiator battles, like Costume Brawl..one of the less PVP things in GW, that required really gameplay skills and knowledge of how to play best with a build, that you have to use.
-------

But mostly all concepts of those pvp titles are totally screwed up imo and need some serious concept tweaks.

oh and yeah, about RA then -give it a new Title that fits to this Area.

The "Master of Battles" Title.. that one can have then the old yet existing way of the Gladiator Title for 5 wins in a row at Randomous 4vs4 battles

R1 Green Horn
R2 Rookie
R3 Profi
R4 Elite
R5 Disciple of War & Battles
R6 Master of the Battle
R7 Grand Master of the Battle
R8 Legendary Grand Master of the Battle

and decreased from 12 to 8 ranks then, but with higher amount of needed points between the ranks ...

and the game would just have 1 pvp title more XD

That's historically false, not to mention really poorly thought out.

RA shouldn't even give glad points, so whatever. Gladiator arenas in the ancient times were large shows, with dozens of competitors.

This is Guild Wars, not real life. Stop making bad suggestions.

You'd be R8 Legendary Bad Suggestions Poster.

The titles are fine. Your perception of them is just messed up.

Yeah but this is like posting "Hi. I suggest we can throw poo at other characters whenever we want in GW"

...which actually sounds like fun and thus a better idea than this thread.

Actually, I like that fact of Gladiator points in RA for a few reasons. Once, it fills RA up with a lot of people who suck... so winning is friggin easy. Two, I get to test new builds out when I can't get guild members to help me test them out. RA is like no other PvP in guild wars. You never know what team you will end up in... you never know if that team will even work (until the first battle is over)... and you make friends here and there be being introduced to new people constantly.

The downside of glad point farming is that you generally have to go through a few bad teams to get one good one.

need more funny cat pics to help me decide wether or not to sign this suggestion

thanks.

/signed for poo-flinging

anyho...

/notsigned

I don't even need to say why it's a bad idea, to anyone with a clue it's evident.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladiators

so much about historically false. Read it, then you will see, that I was correct.
Gladiators were used to make with them MONEY, be it on active way.. by making bets on them.. or by passive way.. through selling stuff, like figures with their names on, when the gladators they shown were very strong and well known and had claimed under the gladiators a kind of reputation.

And it were not shows only .. the mainly meaning of Gladiator Battles were 1vs.1 Duels in the earlier time and later after NERO ...only in the time of Emperor Nero, Gladiator Battles were more only a show, than Duel Battles.

only under nero were Gladiator Battles just a show, there should show the gladiators battles from the Myth and tales the greek/roman had and for those shows it was the only reason, why many gladiators at once fought against each others to show a war battle for example between 2 kingdoms or so.

here the most important sentence in the whole wiki about Gladiators

U'll find it under "Typical Combat" , the important point is underline ...
you see IT ? its PAIRS !!
What do you believe for what PAIRS will stand huh ? sure not for 4 vs 4 fights -.-

Everythign else was in gladitorial history UNTYPICAL and had to be requested...
I believe you've seen the Movie Gladiator maybe too much >.>

When they make a Gladiator Title, then should be the content around it be fitting and not a screwed up concept, that absolutely fits not to the name of the Title in historical wise, or do you see us in RA anyhow make a "show" ?
Do we replay in Ra anyhow myths or so ? No we don't.

You're retarded.

You do understand that PAIR = 2, and 2x2=4

Stop being stupid, please.

This idea sucks, this thread sucks, and the person I'm quote su-, well, let's just say not the brightest.

Pheonix... you /fail at many posts, however this one is beginning to top them all. A couple things to note...

Gladiators irl and Gladiators ig are two different things.
One "was" real the other "is" fake
One fought with weapons (real) and the other fights with magic and prayers(still fake)
Real ones stay dead when they die and pixel ones get rezzed
Real ones are real and pixel ones are a game
Rome has it's history and Anet made a game
Real ones lived to be about thirty years old and the oldest ig character is 3+ yrs old

Can you please stop being such a troll? I am starting to jump on the Phoenix sucks bandwagon. You are a horrible poster, thread hijacker, trollish attention lover, who will argue with anyone over a damn game. Grow up and stop flaming everyone in ever thread I see you in. The game you play so much is good, as are a good amount of people here (most are angry, though). Stop pissing all over everything in an attempt to get everyone to see the world the way you do. Here, you are being retarded and childish. It is a game. Again... grow up... if you are capable.

lol yes a pair is 2 ... 1+1 = 2 you stupid idiot...2 single opponents make the "pair".

The one thats not the brightest here is you. If there would be a price for being most retarded, you would win it.
The only thing, what such retarded fools like you can do, is not stop flaming and insulting, what others you can't. You're way too small minded for intelectual conversations about something.

Your a poor pitiful ***hole, which hides his inability of social behavior behind the "shield" of Anonymity. A person, I personally would call antisocial scum.

I did never said, that Gladiators fight only duels of 1vs1 ...
Wiki said it too: it were typical battles of Pairs and pairs are 2 Combatants - means 2 single Gladiators.... everything else was UNTYPICAL, but was also made, when REQUESTED.

The Point about Gladiator Title/ RA is.. there is NO Requestion.. players get all forced to make for gladiators untypical 4vs4 battles, where the standart are 1vs1 Duels or 1vsX (2-3) battles for a higher handicap.

Therefore the suggestion, that Anet should implement Gladiator Skills and make out of the Gladiator Title an own Gladiator PvP Mode similar to Costume Brawl with given balanced skill builds for each own profession, so that the game will receive finaly also a 1vs1 PvP, because it is impossible to make a balanced 1vs1 with all the existing old skills. It have to be new, extra for this mode based skills, only then there can exists in GW a balanced 1vs1 PvP Mode. And only 1vs1 with given Skill Builds similar to Costume Brawl require real gameplay skills and when it's 1vs1 it won't come with the typical problem of Leeching, because you simple can't leech in a 1vs1.

My last comment in here in this thread, because arguing with such a retard, like you is like talking with thick walls, there I have the same ignorance, only the arrogance can't simulate a wall oO


PS: @The Way out:

I never stated, that the gameplay around Gladiators ingame should become a 1:1 simulation of real gladiators from historic -.- , just that the concept around the title is screwed up, because it doesn't count to a 1vs1 pvp gameplay.. as it should better

I totally support TA getting it's own title track but it may be a bit too late for that especially when you consider the time necessary in gaining glad points these days. It'd probably create more controversy than positive feedback unfortunately and thus not worth it. I'm against AB getting glad points but I would not care if they seperate FFF quests and make a new title track specifically for AB (x amount of points for winning depending on the map or whatever really.) This won't change the negative impression of AB however as evidenced by this thread.

How long have you played this game? 1 day?

If that /////12//////

You people are such suckers. lol. Haven't you figured out yet that FoF posts this crap just to start arguments so he can sit back eat popcorn and laugh.

That's so not true.

If AB had some sort of winner-stays, loser-goes setup, it might be a workable idea, but Gladiator is about stringing up wins in a row, the mechanics of which would be tricky for AB.

No, I picture him, picking his pimples and raging at his monitor with every post, as his mom screams for him to take the trash out.

OK LETS DO THIS WAY ---->

AB --> 10 commander points 2 glad points 1 champ point 100 fame per kill, 40 commander points 10 glad points 5 champ points 400 fame each time some1 kills u, 100 commander points 20 glad points 10 champ points 800 fame each time 1 of ur team mates die.

You will get kurzick and luxon factions in RA, TA, HA, GvG and HB

At like 1 faction per kill and 10 factions eachtime u win a round.

/Sign plz, cuz my opinion > the OP's opinion, yer? WHO'S WITH ME?!?!?!?!

This would make the glad title even less respectable.

Quick Question, a bit off topic, Are Freaky Fish Boy and Pheonix Tears related?

They both have Idiot genes, and ALOT of them.

Glad points need removed from RA, TA needs a Ladder, AB needs to stay out of sight out of mind.

@ The Way Out

Yeah, I agree, except once he gets back from taking out the trash I picture him arguing with his imaginary friend cause he thinks the idea sucks too. Then I see Pheonix Tears reading his report card in class and saying, "Me fail english? That's umpossible."

I just let others start threads and then sit back and laugh.

This basically sums up the whole thing here. This point is impossible to argue against.

Close thread plz.

Wait, so the concept of 4v4 Random Arenas is not historically accurate? I think this warrants a new suggestions thread.

It is historically accurate to Guildwars, which isn't real life... although I would like to try out casting guardian on myself and running through traffic irl. lol

You, sir, fail the internet for citing the one of the most terribaed sites to back up information with.

Close this thread before we LOLCAT this to death.

You ever tried chanting Protective Spirit seconds before a swift kick to the nuts? Want to volunteer Phoenix to try?

lol... it would be 90% less painful then normal. Then his imaginary friend...err... ghostly ally would help him thwart us all!

Too late.
