titles: what are they for?

I noticed a section for titles if you complete certain things. Like exploring all of tyria or elona or completing all of the missions. Do these have any significance other than your own personal satisfaction?

You can brag.. but nobody will care or pay attention. The only use they have at the moment is to do with GW2. Max titles saved in the Hall of Monuments = a (currently unknown) unlock in GW2.

Edit: I forgot to mention that certain titles affect certain in-game things. For example the higher the kurzick title the better the kurzick skills. The higher your lightbringer titles the more effective you are against margonites and torment creatures, etc.

Wiki is your friend: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Title
In short, some of them have some benefits, but most of them are just 'cosmetic'

Yes ; They make you feel superior and make you better than the rest ..


/es


If your willing to grind for these bunch of letts under your name while you could have fun doing something else in guildwars or with friends or something ..

no thx

Aah yes this is a nice specimen of the "I are 2 goodz for ansering yer question so i give wiki linkzz instead wootjahgotpwnd"
.. Seriously we all know wiki ; no need to link it ..

Shouldn't this forum be renamed to the +1 forum ?
He doesn't have any idea what you mean with that if hes new to the game ..

Norn title : gives health in the norn areas
Vanguard : bonus vs charr
Asuran : bonus energy in asuran areas
Delver : bonus dm and health vs destroyers

the only titles really worth having are the EoTN ones.

Thank you everyone, especially phan.

No problem ;

One more thing : the lightbringer title may be helpful in the end of elona but is certainly not nessecary =) just play the game like you want and you might get some titles even if you didn't grind for them like 70% exploration or something ; or the 100id title

This is so wrong on so many levels, it's hardly worth commenting on. Maybe you're just bitter, or jealous.
I will say this though - if you feel like a challenge and want to see if you can actually kill everything in every area in HM - you get a vanquishing title whether you want it or not. If you feel it would be fun to try to cap every elite skill - you guessed it - you get a title.
Not everyone is out there "grinding" for titles - some are just fun (and/or challenging) to get.
Also of course, for the titles that actually do something (EotN plus some others), you don't have to have the max level to gain most of the benefit.

More bitterness? Had a bad day?
Not everyone is aware of wiki, actually. In fact, if they were, there'd be a lot fewer questions on here. So, pointing someone to wiki both helps to answer their question, and makes them aware of wiki.

You didn't mention the affect they have on the various EotN skills. Or are you too twisted about titles to even know it?

^Pretty much everything he said.

Here's an unrelated question-- don't want to start a new topic for it and it's not wiki-answerable----

I found this sword a couple years ago when the game first came out in the desert. Is it still pretty good by today's standards? I'm trying to figure out what to upgrade for PvP. I have another question about my char I'll probably make a new thread about unless this has enough attention,

Wisdom helps when salvaging.
Lucky and Treasure Hunter help with lockpicks.
Kurzick/Luxon help with skills.
Lightbringer helps against servents of Abaddon, and skills.
Sunspear helps with skills.
Norn gives health in some areas, and helps with skills.
Asuran gives energy in some areas, and helps with skills.
Ebon Vanguard helps against Charr, and helps with skills.
Deldrimor helps against Destroyers, and helps with skills.
Hero helps you find a team for HA (lawl)

Everything else is for personal satisfaction.

I consider getting certain titles something to do before I officially say I'm finished with a character. Call it like getting 100% in a video game, or in some cases, enough to be done to say I'm good with what I have.

For myself, Protector titles are a must for every single one of my characters.

Ok here we go ; let the flamecrap begin

The first dialogue i noted under it /es = /endsarcasm wow ; that you even took a message like that serious ..

second dialogue My day was great thank you ; and i just noted that because some ppl do realy feel like "I are 2 goodz for ansering yer question so i give wiki linkzz instead wootjahgotpwnd"

now the third dialogue i wont even comment at ; where is your help for this person ; seriously i can go over every thread and flame any (incomplete) post of someone ..


The sword is pretty good might just need a +30hp mod or +5armor mod and a sundering / vamp / zealous what ever that rolls your boat

ps : [gratz on r8 + customized ]

It's a req.8, max and and it's an original (not an inscription). I suspect it might actually be worth something or would be if you hadn't customized it....

Weapons come pretty easy now with collectors and inscriptions.

My other question was about my char. Are these attributes trash? I didn't plan this guy out at all, just put pts where I felt they needed to be. I do mostly PvE, but I'd like to get into PvP. I only have one elite skill too. I assume the wiki will help me find elite skills?




P.S. If I plan on using a weapon shouldn't I customize it? Adds 20% damg.

Where do I get that? Sword hilt?

The attributes are fine, the healing spells are a waste (other than the res) on a warrior. Bring a monk, and/or healing signet for healing. Some will even argue a hard res isn't that great on a front line tank, and that you should bring a signet. There was a brief period when wa/mos were in fashion in PVP after the recent word of healing update, but it's more a joke than anything else.
Yes, you should customize any weapon you are actually going to fight with. Many folks will tell you never to customize a req 7 or 8 max weapon because they are worth more money... I say to hell with them, it's your sword do what you wanna.
Yeah, you can get vamp or sundering or zealous off of any sword what has em and just 'overwrite' whatever is on yours if you so desire.

Okay thank you. ONE last question.

I read on the wiki--

"To get to Heroes' Ascent, start in the Random Arenas. Win there 5 times in a row, to unlock Team Arenas. Then win in the Team Arenas 5 times (it doesn't have to be in a row), which will unlock Heroes' Ascent."

I have team arenas and heroes' ascent unlocked already, but I never won 5 battles in a row. Am I missing something?

Lol - how in the world could you assume that anyone would think /es = endsarcasm! It could be anything "/eatsh*t", misspelled "yes", .....
(Not to mention, it appears in the middle of the quoted text, not at the end.)

But anyway - just pointing it out - not trying to flame.

The norn title is SUPPOSED to give health, but I'm a warrior and it has never given me any health in the norn areas....
Anyone else had this same issue???
