Firsty, my apologies if this has been posted before (I'm sure it's been thought of), I couldn't find a current thread.

Party Animal - right on, great title for those consumables that had no purpose (of course it came out like 2 weeks right after I gave away about 2000 squash serums - waaaahhhhhhh!, lol)

Why not a title based off of how much experience a character has? I'm really surprised this hasn't been done already. I mean, make it an astronomical amount of exp if you want, but it would be cool to honor experience points on each char. As of right now exp really serves no purpose except to be a scaling bar till your next, exciting skill point. It would be a really cool way of honoring title farmers/farmers and just playing/earning exp in general. I know adding yet another title to the title hunt might have it's reprocusions. However, this would be an easy one that would just be cool to "wear" and see a character with a "I have no life" experience title for 50 mil and a "Cannot kill cause no life" 100 million exp!, lol.
It would almost be a "bi-product" title, not one you'd strive for in and of itself. Nothing hugely creative - just for fun and recognition of exp....

sign or not?

I'm not really against your idea, but i don't really think there is any need to add any more titles right now. This would just end up being another one of those mind-numbing grind titles, so for that reason-

You will have people complaining about how the max is too high and blah blah. How would you ever decide how high the max is? Plenty of people have over 20mil xp. I just don't see this working without either lots of compliaing or people saying it's just another free title due to it's "low" cap.

Agreed, it'd be just another title for looks, no need to blow hundreds of gold on it, if you wanted to farm it you could, but if you didnt well you dont need too

I'd think between Sunspear Lightbringer, Norn, Vangard, Asura, Skill Hunters, Vanquishing, Guardian and Protector you'd max the title anyway so you wouldn't have to grind for it.

We sort of already have this title with the Skill Hunters since for most people getting the 300+ skill points needed for all three titles isn't easy.

Yeah this sounds good. And, credit, he said set it high. Like the max rank could be something like 30/40 Million XP. Which takes a while to get.

You speak as if pugs even exist. Plus, if you are judging how good someone plays by his or her experience gain, then anyone decent enough knows not to join your party.

Yay now the bots can get max titles too ^ ^.

There is no way to gauge a good max level for this and it would promote useless discrimination for the few areas where people still pug.

Experience proves nothing.

But I would not disagree with a way to show earned skill points. Maybe with a non-maxable title with a single track that just shows the number of skill points earned after reaching level 20:

- 359 skill points earned.

Not like it would change anything. Good players already know that experience means nothing, so if someone require a number of skills points you don't want to join them because you'll know thy know not much about the game.

Gaile Gray has said several times this won't happen, nor will a title for number of deaths. It's simply too easy to "cheese," she said, and I agree. Frontis Irontoe's Lair HM, farming, or FFF anyone? If you want an experience title, XP is required for skill points, and you can use those to get Skill Hunter. LDoA is basically a reward for dying an absurd number of times.

Please make all title ideas go away!

If it:

- Has no max rank.
- Shos number of skill points earned instead of a rank.
- Has no rewards nor effects.
- Can be show only after level 20 and after the first 100 skill points earned.

It would harm no one...

...now that I come to think about it... it could lag a bit...

I agree if those are the conditions, but that is really off-base from the standard title formula. I don't think that would be implemented.

It could be something else instead a title. Maybe it could be an emote that you can use once every 5 minutes that makes the numbers appear in front of you.

When you kill monsters, you may get reputation/factions/promotion points.

PvE exp is even less than PvP exp.

But points are more than Exp.
You cannot max titles in normal mode (not even with tomes).

If you have a lot of exp and no points in a PvP character that means more a lot of loses than a lot of victories.

Exp it's just a value that is used to get things, not the way to distinguish the character.

So an exp title would be always more like titles like... Hunter of Wisdom.

If it can only be shown BEFORE level 20, sure.

Otherwise, no.

Too many solo farmers.

Basically, all titles mean nothing, except one could make an argument for Champion, but even the significance of that title is getting diminished quickly.

No, gaining exp = gaining skill point already. Beside it's part of the game. You gain exp no matter what. Then why need a tittle for that? That's so hard to get right?

/notsign

Sweet Tooth and Party tittle are for those who farm in the events, it takes work even if you buy it (money = you farming work.)

Missions need to have a bonus in order to get a tittle. Sunspear need a specific kind of killing in order to get the point (the higher the tittle, the harder the monster you have to kill.)

This title sort of represents the "Hours Played Title" idea I've seen around the block two or three times. It's just a stupid idea that would get abused for KoaBD and there's really no need for it.

There was a quest - they fixed it now - that allowed you to gain xp, abandon it, and then redo it for more xp.

I would only agree to this kind of title if it was simply for show where it doesn't contribute to KOABD.

What I mean by this is the title would have no true max to it nor would there be any benefits for having it. The title would simply be a display of how much exp you have. If you wanted to display it or grind it, the only point would be to display how much experience you've gained. It would not contribute to koabd
