Besides what we know about Treasure Hunter and Wisdom going account based, the Kurzick and Luxon titles being revamped in different ways, and any speculation one might make on this weekend being related to Vanquisher, I'd like to hear what everyone is interested in, hoping to, dreaming about, etc, seeing in Thursday's title revamp.
Here's my hopeful list, among others:
- Stealth update to make all Gamer events work under the consecutive point gain system seen in CB.
- Slight rework of Survivor and LDoA.
- Small scale systems for minimized grind on secondary characters after maxing "grind" titles on your first.
- Vanquisher Chests.
- Split title display and functionality (go2sardelac).
- Bigger point rewards for non-repeatable quests.
Discuss.
What are you hoping for in Thursday's title update?

Getting rid of titles is what I wish for. I know thats not happening though so I just want less grind for the current ones I guess.
zelgadissan
Pretty much Shayne's list, plus making the completely bought titles (aka Drunkard, Sweet Tooth, Party Animal) account-wide.
BlueNovember
I like most of those points. I don't see a problem with current Survivor/Ldoa/title function though. (Especially if the alternative to title effects is have my status bar permanently cluttered...)
The reduced rep-title grind given a previous char has already maxed is a very good idea.
+some incentive to actually do non-primary quests. They can be fun, it's a shame so much content is missed out on due to lack of reward. Add a quest title or something more imaginative

I am hoping that in Thursday's supposed update (lord only knows these things have been delayed before...) that they make every title account based or they delete titles altogether.

Anything that makes me want to play the game. I like chasing titles but I know I'm not going to max anymore than the ones I have now unless something is done to improve them.
I start to work at a title spend an hour, get some tiny fraction of a percentage of the way to the next level then get bored and don't play for another month.
Atleast this way everytime I log in I seem to have another bday present.

I think I'm just hoping for the update itself, heh.
If we DON'T get the big title update, I'm hoping for at least the handing out of tournament reward points from the last mAT.
ETA: Also, for the love of shit, TAKE DOWN THE HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS! (please)

I'm hoping that ANet doesn't screws it over, again.
I'm also hoping to get my zkeys the first day.

Pretty much Shayne's list tbh.
Anything that will make them more appealing/(easy?)/fun, because now for the most part I cant be bothered to spend the time working on them.

Yay for more hype threads on this.
My hopes:
- Shayne's List
- Changes to Kurzick/Luxon Titles and Faction Cap
- Drunkard/Sweet Tooth/Party Animal getting rank 3 (20k) and become account based
- Fix to Unlucky (compared to Lucky, it's slightly more grindy)
- pentople the current rewards to Vanquishing (so that it gives 25x monsters killed, not 5x)
- Rework of the Legendary Titles as follows:
Legendary Savior
- Addition of "Adventurer" Title (Quest Title Track)
- Addition of rank 7 to KoaBD Title Track (The Legend of <Character Name>)
- And lastly, and most important, the update itself.
I think the best way to add the "Adventurer" title (due to some characters not getting quests, and some mutually exclusive quests) would be to put them under the above proposed Master titles, and increase the LMotN point req for max (so that it's not too easy to max, but yet easier). And for the three other newer LMo titles would just make max just under max quests done (so that you can leave say 5 quests undone if you're a foreign character) - so characters from that campaign can get the LMo title a lot easier, but it wouldn't need weird number changes for each place the character is made.
What I expect:
The update to come eventually.

Something to make vanquishing at least a little bit fun. Honestly, if you can kill one generic mob, you can kill them all. It just gets grindy after a while.

More grindy things. I don't understand the few who don't like grind, if there wasn't grind in the game there would be nothing left to play for. Grind is the only thing left because they never put any phatt loot into the game. Paultry 20 levels hahaha no wonder WOW is so famous and has 11 million subscribers.

I hope more titles become account wide because lets face it. If you did it once with one character, it should be enough. Like i hav protector of cantha and elona on one character, and prot of tyria on the other....realy dont feel like doing either again lol

11 million subscribers, eh?
If you take away the bots, the extra accounts (there are MANY people who own at least two, largest recorded I belive was something around 32 accounts at once) And you'd likely be down to around ~6 million players total.
Which, is roughly the same as Guild Wars :P

Account wide Party, drunkard and sweet tooth. Some kind of rethink of survivor, I dont know what... but something.

Suprised no one has said it yet...Id love for SF to get hit...There are other things that concern me, but this makes everything unfair. Then maybe all the farming-only sins will get deleted, and people will actually learn how to use them...
Other than that, Id like to see LDoA reworked as OP said.
AB rewards amped up a little, while HFFF rewards go down.
And yes, NO MOAR HALLOWEEN PLZ!

Honeslty I got no idea about what to expect from such a big update, when we actually know so much about it, some of what's going to be there and what's not.
It's going to be a Title Rebalance update but there are very few changes to titles
I had some big hopes but almost all got crushed during last couple weeks.
Hopes not yet crushed (or I missed something):
*Biggest hope is that the goals won't suddenly become too fast and easy and achievements wont devalue. That things wont become unnecessarily easier and that there won't be any mistakes of Shadow_Form_buff_epic_proportions.
*Improved ways of getting repeats of rep titles after maxing them once - I've been suggesting this for a very very long time, and there were some hints at something alike to happen.
*More vialbe ways for efficient Kurzick/Luxon titles, as efficient as pre-nerf hfff. It's a given?
*Improved AB rewards for those who have max'ed their Allegiance titles, so there's an incentive for both max'ing and keeping playing.
*A way to manage your titles window so it's not a complete mess with least relevant titles on the top and ones you actively work on buried deep and requiring lots of scrolling every time. Oh and an option to replace your useless XP bar with the progress bar of chosen title (or Balth faction).
*Wishful thinking - a fix of the Survivor title so old favorite pre-factions characters get their chance at it (if they left Pre and don't have LDoA)
*More wishful thinking - rework of LDoA title so it's not about hundreds of hours AFK but hundreds of hours of playing with only a little DL'ing required.
*And one more - a new title based on Total Gained Balthazar Faction, not maxable.
*At least 3 pleasant surprises I haven't thought of.

with more than one character looking at eye armor, some other ways than farming raptors, turning in book after book, etc of getting points. After doing these with 7 or so characters I am pretty tired of eye and am rethinking some of my armor choices!
unlucky is alot easier to get than lucky for me (but I guess I am the only one since my lockpicks break 99/100 times...)
same thing for the sunspear and lightbringer points---so far only 1 of my characters has maxed ss (and NONE have lb)....and no, I DONT vanquish--I dont like HM. so some more ways to get those other than that monolith temple area would be a nice change of scenery.

7 heroes I support only because henchmen suck, I'd rather see Henchmen get more thought out builds.
Heroes use PvE skills as is, is just imba, however there is a way to make it non-imba. That is, NPCs (not just heroes) can use the non-elite PvE skills/Monster Skills of their reputation/enemy counterparts.

people outside the US have to realize that anet is an american based company and updates won't go live until the working hours of PST. which translates into probably noon PST, which, with this update, probably translates into friday afternoon sometime...

What I would like to see.....
Half of the posts on this thread ignored. Another 10k points onto money tracks in exchange for account wide...wtf is wrong with you?
Drunkard changed to the same as party + sweets. If not then I'll just spend another 2600 min finishing that.
Could use something to interest me in chest running and wisdom....spending craploads of money is not it.
Don't give a crap about lucky/unlucky.
Faction titles....buff the hell out of AB so its halfway worth the time. Don't really care what happens to HFF.
The rest of the maxable titles....don't really care much, I have all the ones I want/need. Ldoa could die for all i care.
New titles...../nopoint. If they do, lol free titles for me.
What I expect: Some pointless changes, and some more free money for me from my predictions.
I really don't care what happens tomorrow.

I'll be happy with basically, whatever is changed - Is all a little less grind at the end of the day.
Although, when I said to myself, 'I hope decorations are up a bit longer so I don't miss them again' I really wasn't expecting them to still be up now ^^

i keep thinking it's the wrong day and i thought the update was today (cause i thought it was thursday)
but seriously i'm kinda hoping something with drunkard/sweet/party...even if it's only adding in extra lvls before the 10k...but lowering that req, that would be nice too
and account wide so my sin can use the candy corn
