took me about a year to get KoaBD on my sin.. course i didn't really care about it untill i realized i was running out of things to do.. so i started working on titles.. 14 max atm on her and a few of my others have 2-3 maxed just cause they were easy (protectors and whatnot)

about a year, or a year and a half O.O For a long time I was like, "lol titles are dumb" but then... I got bored? I don't know - I became more goal oriented once I started figuring the game out more, and hanging out more with my guildies, I think.

It took me more time to get r1 KoaBD (2 years +) than getting r2 (one month) lol.
Of course, I didn't really cared about it before, but since I got really bored one day...

Well, i just focused on completing the campaigns first. I explored as i went, and only had a little left to explore after completing each campaign - so i basically had 3 maxed from playing casually.

I wouldn't include the above as time put into KOABD, as i was playing for the sake of playing, rather than thinking about the next title to grind. So basically, it took me less than a week to get r1 KOABD, as that's how long it took to get 2 protectors.

A year and a half. My first, the warrior, has had 4 titles for a while, and then I was very surprised when I noticed that once I maxed out Norn, I got the first title.

Lack of focus, I guess...

Only 4 titles after nearly 2 years, but in the next few months I'll probably get to r2 very quickly, may be even r3, as there are a few impending titles (well, exactly 3 GMCs which are around 85% now, 3 Guardians, 3 skill hunters at 50% atm, and probably Norn and Asura which are around 50% now).

I had already maxed Tyrian and Canthan Skill Hunter and Tyrian and Canthan Protector when the titles came out.
So: not too long if you count from there. Had been playing a lot to get to that point before then though.

<--- Rank 5 KoaBD now!

It took me a while, IIRC. I had all 3 protectors and 2 Guardians outta 3. I don't exactly recall what I did to get from a rank to the next though.

I'm R5 ATM, aiming for R6. I'm just working on other stuff beside money farming for titles (mmkay... money farming for armors >_>); if I ever get off my lazy butt I'll be R6 in a few months.

Basically before EoTN I divided my playtime between my characters, but when it came out I switched to the "one main character" theme. I had several maxed titles all around my account, but I don't think I had more than one on each character.

So, I wanted 1st tier KoABD on my mesmer. I started a couple weeks ago, did all three Protectors and now I'm on my way to maxing Sunspear and Lightbringer. Shouldn't take too long, depending how much I'm bothered to grind a day.

After that, though, I dunno what I could max next or if I even want to. Every title takes a lot of money, well maybe Cartographers don't, but that's just so tedious. But 1st tier is enough for me for a while anyway.

I'd already maxed Tyrian / Canthan Skill Hunter, Cartography and something else (been a while so I can't remember what, if any, I needed or if got it automatically when the KOaBD track started).

<---32 down and counting...

Pfffth. Never. Still haven't maxed a single title, in two years of playing.

Spread out over too many characters; too many real-life intrusions; and too many things in the game to do... so much to see, so little time!

maybe I'll get there someday.

More than two years!

Completed all missions/bonus in Prophecies.

Titles were introduced and I could care less about titles.

Factions came out. Completed all masters in Factions.

Nightfall came out. Completed all masters in NF.

HM was introduced. Completed all masters/bonus in HM for all 3 chapters.

Since I apparently have maxed 5 titles by this time, I got it some time after 2 years I think. TBH, I don't know for sure since 1) I don't remember the exact release dates and 2) I don't care about titles and don't work on titles.

About 3 weeks on my ele, titles were 3 protectors, guardian of cantha and Legendary Survivor.

Currently sitting at 9 maxed titles, total days played on her 43 days. (tyrian vanquisher, tyrian grandmaster, legendary master of the north, and slayer of all were the last 4).

Ugh, cant be bothered with titles. Too boring. Have been playing for almost 2 years and I got *hold on to your lungs* 2 (!!!!!!!!!!!) maxed titles. And I am NOT planning on maxing any more titles anytime soon. Those 2 titles are protector of Tyria and Cantha, which I got when I was helping guildies getting their titles. Was an accident Im ashamed of them ever since.

People who take "epic" screen shots of their characters just to show off their "leet" achievements are cool.

Lets see... I got KOABD[1] in about a week... it took me longer to get Legandary survivor then i thought... did not think of the dwarven boxing trick at the time... Used the HM worms outside of Boreal Station with scrolls each run was worth 8-12k a run for about 50-60k an hour.

I reached KOABD[6] ( God Walking Amoungst Mere Mortals) just over 5 months... i could have actually done it in under 5 months but i hit alot of the good farming weekends... easter/xmas/gail party/ to collect all the party and sweet points i could to offset the cost... plus i was out of time a few weekends hitting a few concerts... and yes i have a full time job working 40+ hours a week and have written a number of books in my free time... on average i only sleep 5 hours a day.

lets not forget that 10,000 of these minutes were spent hanging out in the guild hall getting drunk

So you played like 10 hours a day each day for 5 months? Either you got fired from work or you got few F's.

Or 9 hours for 31 months.

Well, as for my r1.. I'm at 1/5. I need 20% Tyria more and about 40 of Cantha, few elites from Tyria... Or I can try to farm to r10 sunspear.

It took me a month after I created my first Nightfall character to get 3x Protector titles. Went back to Nightfall to finish Cartographer and Sunspear (took about a month for me to get around it).

Eventually finished up Lightbringer too, now I just have to be really bored one of these day to knockout the other two Cartographers and finish getting all the Elite skills. Delver and Norn titles are getting close to max also.
