For those here mentioning about displaying the treasure hunter title in presearing.....don't you get treasure hunter points when golden eggs drop during that Easter weekend event? They dropped in presearing as well....

Displaying wisdom title in presearing, however....

^ Don't forget Savior of Kurzick/Luxon. And maybe party animal (probably not maxable yet unless you have tons of black dye)? Hell if so they could have PKM now.

BTW if anybody has PKM in Presearing, please come over to my house - you need the sunlight.

Thats not logical its fail and rapes every player with duplicate titles on their account. No one wants this and every time Linsay shoots it down you guys delete it, but here is a link where she shot it down as she should have. Its under the HoM Update section before the brown nosers deleted the entire section.

I hope they rework LDOA and make it so we really have to defend Ascalon, not death-level the Charr invasion forces.

I hate accidentally IDing Golds on my non-main char. I am glad for this update. Hopefully the other updates will be just as "good" IMO.

they get lumped together...so if you have 450 on one char and 250 on another, your overall total will be 700.

IMO you can never have too many account based titles, this is excellent news ^_^

Yeah, I'm not too fond of the idea of that bit, but it would still be nice to feel rewarded for playing several characters, instead of feeling that you're almost penalised for not doing everything on one character...

If it ain't gonna happen though, so what. We play because we enjoy the game, not just to get titles right...?

Woah I just realised... When you roll a char after this update Drop of Fear, will it by default have Kind of a Big Deal with 6 max? And how many would a PvP char have?

It really isn't all that much if you always open chests while working on other titles and while farming. It also is fun to run challenging areas so its not stagnant play.

Didn't you hear, Pink is the new black, and GWAMM will be the new pink.

But really, who cares. If you are really conserned about this, QQ to Linsey and ask for a r7 in GWAMM. Make a few million threads with the other QQ'ers. Eventually you might get your way.

Really, don't do that...

Not completely true, although I own all 4 games, I have People Know Me on my sin (14 maxed titles) with no EN titles maxed (closest is dwarven with about 20k to go). Not to mention, I don't use EN PvE skills on my sin.

LDoA, Drunk, Sweet, Party, Lucky, Unlucky, Kurzick, Luxon, Zaishen, Commander, Wisdom, Treasure Hunter, Gladiator, Champion, Hero, Gamer...

A lot of titles can be gained in Pre already. If someone REALLY doesn't have a life, after November, that someone can get "I'm Very Important" in pre...

I hope no one works for that.

Anyways, I'm glad for this title update. I wonder what else will be changed. Drunkard/Sweet Tooth/Party Animal? R7 KoaBD? Please?

Too bad this won't affect deleted characters. My old Necro and War were rank 1/2 in Wisdom and both rank 2 in Treasure Hunter... :/ I'll probably just go from r3 to r4 in both with this. Still saves time, I'll be putting lockpicks on all my characters now instead of just my sin.

i find this thread very amusing. i laugh when i read people saying KoaBD wont mean anything and in the same breath say now they can id/open chest on people besides their main. you defy logic... /clap. from what i can tell, im one of the few people that doesnt have a main. i have 10 chars that i treat equally, they are all r 2-3 treasure/wisdom and my monk is a bit higher. you wont see a that many people with either maxed out because of this update, it provides incentive for people to play more characters. i am appalled by how little people know about the game outside of their main. personally i dont like titles because it restricts people in their playing because if you want to have a high rank you need to just play one and grind. when it comes to playing with other people for fun (very rare these days) people are clueless on how to play. its quite sad. i think this title is more of a get your GWAMM, quit grinding, and play with people for fun. when they cant rely on their heroes to fix their mistakes and all their overpowered pve skills, they fail. i see this as anet trying to help fix the mess they made with GW:EN's skills and narrow-minded title grind HoM.

with that said, ill be one of the people that still will be proud of my KoaBD(1). my monk has it now, and i made a point of keeping it just at 5 max so when updates went into effect to make more titles account wide/easier to get/less grind, i would stay at rank 1. thatll be the real rare title now. if everyone has GWAMM like you say, who wants that?

there will always (well maybe until november lol) the zrank award for you to sink your grind hungry teeth into, so don't worry about not being able to grind to oblivion.

Saw it coming miles and miles away!

Lets hope we have more titles like this. Like finaly having the option to vanquish with multiple characters or complete dungeons. Protector and Defender should follow the same way too.
I have 7 characters and i want to play with all of them!!!

This is good to know, as several times I identify gold items, and to my dismay, I realize that I did not identify them on my "main". Now, fortunately, I don't have to worry about that.

1. I disprove of a sin "just for permasin farming." Sins are too good to be limited JUST to farming.

2. I hope you're joking about survivor. While some old characters deserve a chance at it, account based is pointless. If anything, Survivor needs to be made HARDER. Those with Factions or EN pretty much don't have to worry at all about Survivor.

Yeah, slightly altering the conditions under which a tiny blurb of text appears really messes up the game.

KoBD hasn't meant anything since only prophecies existed. With cartographer and protector titles, kobd was easy to get and pkm only required slight effort. By EotN, going up a I'm Very Important was the next KoBD. Thats the whole reason for the maxed titles track.

KoBD says I've played through all the campaigns once.
PKM says I've played through campaign a couple times.
I'm Very Important says you've started to grind out the legendary title tracks
I Have Many Leather-Bound Books says you've grinded the legendary cartographer/protector/Rep points/Skill Caps
My Guild Hall Smells of Rich Mahogany says that you finally finished vanquishing.
GWAMM says congrats you've accrued enough money over the course of playing to buy the final few titles.

Really anyone who owns all 4 campaigns and has played through them all should have KoaBD. It really is meaningless. Honestly. You get three titles just for beating each story line. You should have maxed SS and possibly LB points in Nightfall. If not you get 1 Max Rep from Gwen by finishing the story line and the dungeons by turning in the books. There 5 possibly 6 easy titles by simply playing and beating the game in normal mode. So yes, to most of us KoaBD is meaningless.

Awesome! It doesn't make sense for these titles to be character based in the first place. Making people move their rare items to be id by a specific character is just stupidly inconvenient. Simply moving items in and out of the stash is not a game challenge and should not be rewarded with a title.

Good news! as for KoBD meaning nothing now...to be honest..did it really mean anything to begin with? I have 20 maxed titles on my main and it still dont mean squat. All title hunting is is a way for a-net to keep our interest until the time they deem GW2 worth putting on the market...if ever.

1) You are right!!! They are also good for permasin running.

2) I'm not joking. I get survivor on one char, I want it on all of them. It is ridiculously easy to max with already, and has been cheapened beyond cheap with punchout unless you DC like I did. Make a character, get Survivor, it is now on your title character. Boo hoo if you bothered maxing survivor on several characters, it is pointless enough anyway.

The only titles that shouldnt be account based are explorer, guardian and vanquisher as these are real rewards for playing through and completing the game.. All the rest should be account based because they dont mean shit.

Account wide Drunkard / Party Animal / Sweet Tooth, SS, LB, EoTN grind titles please. Not one single person wants to max titles on everysingle character, account wide is the way to go so that I can play all my characters.
