Yes, 10k is a bit extreme, I know this. But those three titles are all joke titles to me and pointless. I'd rather see them taken out completely. I have suggested simply making them account based, but then people shout "Too easy to get."

I live in Central U.S., I get the updates at 2 pm, on Thursdays. So you need to keep in mind that not everyone lives in... germany I take it?

Also, it seems the update will be pushed to friday, PST, so it would end up as saturday for you.

Remove loot scaling, NPCs don't need loot damn it.

Then everything account wide expect for things like Protector, Guardian, Vanquisher, Cartographer, Skill Hunter

Don't you guys think 7 heroes would be like idk overkill? Sure it would open up the elite areas to more people but the rest of the game would be weak and beyond too easy.

pretty much nothing mentioned so far. those savior titles sound cool if you dont actually think about them, but they are free titles for anyone with r5 already. basically it just gives you freebees for nothing. id say take titles away. if it doesnt count for favor, it shouldnt count for KoaBD. no emotes for pve. dear god not 7 heroes. any elite area should not have heroes allowed. no more pve skills.

like ive said a million times... anet cannot give you anything but a silly "i wasted a lot of my time getting all the titles in gw1 so i could have this silly title(1)" the said gw2 is a new beginning, that means no advantage over other players when the game is released. HoM was a genius marketing strategy for anet. they get casual players to come back and spark interest in gw2. it gives them something to work for and itll keep interest until the release of gw2. then, they have new money sinks and z chests to basically destroy the gw1 economy so people change to gw2.

That is exactly what I want. I hate making a new character, and not having a title i just maxed on my "main".
I mean I did it, seriously, why can't I show it all the time
I got account wide HoM(which is what I wanted ) so I really.....really hope they make all titles account wide.

Yeah, I know there would be a few people complaining that they did 2 GWAMM characters. >.>
Still, do it anyway

Oh, and the Xunlai Marketplace Still want that too.

If you would fine 7 heroes overpowering, then dont use them. I am a noob and dont know how to play the game, I will try taking 7 heroes with flare, firestorm, healing hands, mending and epic lol if I manage to beat stuff with it. It is to have fun with the creativity available within the game, not just to overpower it.

LOL, ray of judgement smite spike on my monk with all three monk heroes with macro spikes set as smiters, with ritualist healers lol. How much fun would that be?

Zkeys are all I'm hoping for. Honestly don't care about the title updates. Also have a feeling title update will be delayed by another week then everyone will /wrists and make over 9000 QQ threads about how much Anet sucks because they can't put updates out in a timely manner.

Well a lot of these people have crazy ideas. Some of the i like and some i don't, But here is what i expect.

Party/sugar/drunkard=no changes

Kur/lux some crazy changes that include dropping down the title to 6m and also the amount to can hold be based on what rank you have.

some change to survive so that character that where not around when it was introduced can get it.

Lucky/Unlucky- some change

Other then that i can't think of anything else

I would also like to see Kurzick/Luxon/Sunspear/LIghtbringer rewards given to missions for their respective chapters - missions are slow and it is impossible to get a pug (if you would want one).

Anything to make the grind seem like less of a grind.

What I'd like to see:

More gold item drops in HM - not necessarily Max with good mods, just stuff to move the Wisdom title along a bit faster than it goes now.

Increased unlucky points for broken lockpicks so it's on par with the Lucky Title.

A chance to get LS on my main, since she's been around since before even factions came out.

No QQ threads because "A-Net Didn't make the changes that I wanted!"

A couple of additional balanced maps in AB.

A emphatic pronouncement by A-Net staff that 7 heroes will never be an option for solo players.

What I expect:

NOTHING! I'm not setting myself up for disappointment.

The r7 of GWAMM should be: Stayin' Classy

Uh, want Legendary Champ title goal to be a lot less than 10,000 wins (I think the highest rank in the game so far is maybe r8 champ, I don't know)

Moar PvE fun

Reward points in HoH instead of Zkeys. 5 RP each time you hold Halls is reasonable, and will be a more versatile reward than Zkeys. Plus if you delete that character, then you won't accidently delete them.

10k points is what it is...easy to get for those with hordes of money, hard for those who don't have money coming out their ears.

This thread is pure speculation...who gives a damn who posts what here. My post was perfectly on-topic, if you want to regulate people's posts, go apply to be a mod, kthxbye.

i would like shorter title tracks. i've played this game 3 years and haven't maxed one yet. partially because of the way i play, and partially because it takes long to do the ones i feel like doing anyways.

I guess I want the impossible because what I want most is all the grind to be a more pleasant experience, with more variety and better rewards

Ideally as you get further up the title ladder it should get harder not just having to repeat the same tasks endlessly.

The perfect solution for me would be creature level rises mobs get bigger and drops get better the higher up a track you are.

On the appropriate title tracks anyway it wouldn't apply to all titles.

Probably never happen but I can hope.

OMG if they do that I'll be SO happy. It would mean my main title hunter would NOT have to max Kurzick or Wisdom or Treasure for GWAMM!

But it's likely not gonna happen... So they better make Kurzick/Luxon max title attainable in a normal way more easily. Or sweet/drunk/party cheaper.

7 heroes would be awesome. If not, then more choice in henchmen.

Agree with gremlin on making grinding more of a pleasant experience.

Random ideas (that will probably never happen):

-After you vanquish an area, everyone gains the ability to run 100% faster (to help with carto titles)

-An exp title? We have almost pure gold titles (party) .. so why not exp. If not a title, make it possible to trade exp (or skill points) for items.

-Each time you max a title, you get a special customized item that is related to that title, and you can also reset the title at any time.
(For example, when you get "Protector of Elona" you get an item that increases the chance of golds dropping by x times in NM only for x amt of time, they could come up with better ideas.)

-Invent a new (elite) dungeon. You can only enter if you have koabd title. Each rank gives you the ability to progress 1 floor down. Some rewards for quests and drops cannot be found anywhere else in the game.

Xunlai Market

A new trading town has been added to the Battle Isles, the Xunlai Market.

Description of new trading system, the Xunlai Market and their associated NPCs.

Xunlai Market list replaces "trade" portion of Party search. Party search can now retrieve lists from the Xunlai Market from any outpost. Character limit in Party Search increased. Search feature added for Party Search to enable players to locate items for sale in the Xunlai Market. Upon successful invitation to a seller's party, a player will be transported to the Xunlai Market from their current location to complete the transaction.

Blah, Blah, Blah.
Filler goes here.
I intend to wait and see what happens. I do not anticipate anything quoted above to come to pass.

What I would like to see


1. Survivor reset button for characters made before titles were invented.

2. While I don't mind grinding for titles, Kurzick/Luxon is a bit ridiculous. Cut points for every level including Savior in half. Or, increase faction gains in AB and Vanquishing.

3. Have alot of enemies and bosses in Hard Mode (and even normal mode) buffed, game has gotten way to easy over the years because of skilless people QQ'ing. That being said, there is an exception...

4. Mallyx the Unyielding needs a nerf. Massive melee damage, skills that make enchants/conditions/hexes/stances useless and detrimental in your party, (which in turn makes alot of classes useless,) Spirits that make everything else useless, and a mini army to add insult to injury. I don't think there is a viable tactic against him that doesn't involve a glitch or exploit.

5. Remove the Halloween decorations. Now....

6. A complete reworking of the Paragon class to where skills scale not only with attributes, but with max party size, how many people you have within earshot, and number/level of enemies in the zone. This could and would solve alot of problems, given that Paragons in almost every situation are either frighteningly overpowered or laughably underpowered. It's rare when a Paragon doesn't fit into one of those categories in any given circumstance.

7. I would cry happy tears if this was an update note:
"Heroes have been removed from the game, henchmen have had their skill bars significantly improved in all Level 20 areas."

I also find it amusing all these people that want crap like 7 heroes, pathetically easy title gains, and QQ saying "Oh, this game was supposed to be without grind."

No, it was never said this game would be without grind. What was originally said, especially since this game originally focused on PvP and balance, was that grind would NOT be a necessity to perform well in PvP and higher PvE.

And Anet has delivered on that promise. There is no "sword of wtfpawn" with absurd stats that give you an advantage that skill and tactics can't overcome, PvP characters can be created with any skills/armor/runes/etc you want assuming you have unlocked them, which isn't that hard or long to do.

And PvE chars can usually be competent in any area, assuming the following:
1. The player has some amount of skill, intelligence.
2. You have the max armor for your class, some runes, and a decent weapon. And that you are level 20.

The second on that list does not take long at all and is not hard to acheive, especially compared to any other online RPG.

Titles are not a requirement. You can play and do alot of things in GW without ever maxing a title. Going for any title, including a grind title, is your own choice. Tiles are one of two things:
1. Accomplishments showing you performed something that is not absurdly easy to do
2. Things to show that you grinded for something, that you spent the time and effort.

This is why we have forums isn't it? To discuss the merits/pitfalls of all things GW.
