Drunkard Title
Bled4dayz
I think that the drunkard title should just be how many ales you drink...but that's just me I don't think I'll ever touch the title just cause it takes 6 days, 22 hours, and 40 minutes to achieve (from wiki). Would just make it easier but then I guess people that have it already would get pissed or something. Still think it should be 10,000 ales consumed.

And yeah the title is kind of tough, but it's not that as bad as it looks - I'm at 2,900 minutes and counting.

People who have it are already pissed!

I'm sitting afk in my guildhall browsing the internet as we speak, drinking spiked eggnog now and again. 3,413 minutes and counting...
Johny bravo
I have it already and it wasn't all that hard. I just kept my title window open while VQing and doing missions. Usually I took one level 5 alcohol and consumed a level 1 every minute. Other times I used a timer that went off and reset every 3 min. VQing, cart, and guardian I got to about 7,500 min. The rest I did while power trading or BSing around with guildies.
Why do people keep asking for all these ridiculous changes.
Waah I don't want to change zones to use tonics
Waaah I don't want to pay attention to my minutes for drunkard
Waaaah I want a "insert rare item here" Maybe your Zaishen title should affect the rarity of your drops
Waaaaah I want GWaMM make new titles like Legendary Rager - Get 10,000 dishonorable minutes
Oh yeah and I am not whining I just think these are great a unique ideas
Titles were made to keep both the casual and hardcore player busy. Stop trying to make them even easier

How about this.... the title means something and if you don't want to do what it takes..........................then you don't deserve the title.
Quit whining and go drink or give up and quit if it's too hard for ya.
Btw, unless you are just cheap on top of it all, look up and learn the zoning method if you want to farm the title fast, but it is a bit more costly. Time is money though

I drink while playing normally. (And my character does too!
) With my warrior, I'm up to 6,800 minutes because of Drunken Master. And on occasion I also run "Feel No Pain!" for that extra boost of 300 HP.I think that people get intimidated by these titles. Don't think about doing the whole thing! Just do a little here, and a little there. Before you know it, you'll have the level one title. From there, it doesn't seem so daunting...

1. Suggestions go in Sardelac.
2. This has been suggested many times before.
3. When they (Lindsey) did the title balance thing last year, they said that the Drunkard title would not be changed.
4. Easiest way to deal with the problem is to play drunk. (Get a Keg, and when you go out exploring, just click on it every once in a while. Easy-peasy!)

I have the title....well I'm at 9,985 minutes and holding. I'm waiting for the other 2 titles to catch up and I'll max all 3 at once.
It's not that hard. I did mine while vanquishing (grog makes that easier) or while standing around town trading or chatting with guildies in the GH while we prepped for a VQ, HA or DOA, etc. Or even just while watching tv. I'd have the computer on and would check the drunkard count every couple of minutes.
I did it without the zoning trick and without using cheat bots. If you can't then it just means you don't value the title enough to put the time into it. (And there's nothing wrong with that)

Drunkard has become less of a pain now that we have kegs. Like others have suggested, just play drunk and stack up on kegs (or grog) so you don't run out, then the title will fly by. I do so much stuff drunk, that its weird when my screen isn't blurry lol.

Anet is apparently not worried about global warming: tens of thousands left their pc on for many nights (running autoclick) to finish the title. Assuming ~50 000 people run their PCs for 10 000mins= 167h each while their computers consumed 300W each: 2500 MWh!!!
So the drunkard bots consumed 2500 MWh electricity. How much is that really?
- 2500MWh is the annual electricity consumption of ~ 250 US households.
- 600tons of oil was burned to make the juice for you; this oil is enough to run an average (US) car for 400 years.
- ~1900 tons of carbon dioxide was released into the air. This is equivalent to (burning) 8000 trees, a smaller forest.
Shame on you drunkards.

I recommend drinking booze while vanquishing.
At least drunkard takes a little effort beyond buying a bunch of consumables and clicking on them. Don't undermine the specialness of my title!

1 kg/day*6,692,030,277(2008 population estimate)*365.24 = 2,694,265,908 US tons of CO2/year!
Shame on us all, right? The solution is clear: Everyone stop breathing so we can save the planet. Kill all the humans to preserve a better tomorrow for our children. Some brave soul must step forward and show us the way to a brighter, cleaner future; I'll just stop breathing right after Al Gore shows me how. He's a very intelligent person; he invented the internet that is allowing us to communicate this very instant. Think of the children.
Also, Drunkard, Sweet Tooth, and Party Animal can contribute to repetitive strain injury and/or carpal tunnel syndrome, so we should just be able to click once for all those 10,000 items that need to be consumed. Auto-clickers and bots are just a medical necessity.
Vazze
Anet can't nerf breathing. But they could put an end to the autoclick drinking.
Of course this is still a tiny little number if you compare it to all the CO2 that was generated by playing GW. Most hardcores have 5000+ hours on their accounts, and there are millions of casuals with a few dozen/hundred hours.
Anybody up to the challenge to calculate how many micrometers anet raised the sea level?

I think this is yet another example of Anet forgetting they aren't a subscription game and forgetting that their game could actually be fun if they put some thought into it. They don't have to do this kind of grindey crap to keep getting fees.
Titles have actually made me less interested in the game, and less likely that I'll bother with GW2. Before titles, I usually liked to mix things up by playing lots of classes. As they were introduced, I found more guilds focusing on title hunting, so I started to do this too. As a result, I started focusing less and less on my "extra" characters, and wound up doing the same things over and over with only one or two characters, and still nowhere close to a full hall of monuments.
And yes, I know I could still try to mix it up, but there is always this nagging feeling that what I'm doing won't be rewarded for GW2 and I should be focusing on my main. It just got to the point where I said, "Wow, Braid and AudioSurf are $2.50 on Steam? Screw Guild Wars." Grind isn't going to keep me playing when I can get a completely new experience, especially when I can find the entire cost as loose change in the crevices of my couch.

Well, I've noticed a lot of discussion about the Drunkard title, one question no one has raised yet is the appropriateness of this aspect of the game in relation to kids and teenagers who are under the age of 21. I believe this game is rated Teen (ages 13+ I think), so that includes people under 21. The legal drinking age is 21 in the US, and probably a little lower in Europe (I believe it's 16?).
I don't have problems with having Dwarven Ale in the game, it's all for good fun, but when you actually have a title that rewards being drunk, now I think that starts to cross the line a little bit. Isn't that pretty much the same thing as telling kids and teenagers that drinking is cool and it's fun to become an alcoholic? Maybe that's okay in Tyria and Cantha, but I sure don't think it's appropriate in the real world.
Sure you're going to say it's just a game, but if you're a parent, would you want your kids playing a game that promotes drinking, being drunk, and alcoholism?
All I ask you to do is think about it. Any comments/thoughts are welcome.

And also Party points because lighting off fireworks is dangerous, and eating pounds and pounds of sweets could give you diabetes.

Agreed. If its too much for you to do...then dont. Simple as that. Dont whine about it. Close Thread.
Axeman002
but there is skills that require you to be drunk to get the best effect...and i imagined they were expecting a player to play 10k minutes easily, all u have to do is click while u play...hell ive played 5k HOURS so 10k minutes is a fraction of the game play.
MercenaryKnight
It would be different if you could click all of your drunkard points and then the time would countdown all the time. I don't want to play the game having to micro clicking alcohols every single minute or 5.
It's not that hard to see why some people would choose to use macros for a title which shouldn't take 10,000 minutes.
I still need to find a way to make the zoning instant minutes work again.

It's already easier for those of us who are working on it now than it was a year ago. We have Nicholas in both pre and post searing giving us booze. We don't need to spend near as much time farming gold to buy booze.
crazybanshee
OMG a title that takes 6 days of clicking, that can be done simultaneously with everything else! No way! Oh wait, I already have it because it's easy. Carry on!
AngelWJedi
i maxed my drunkin title. i had only wished the 3 points and kegs were cheap. and that one pointers worked like the party/sugar ones. but other then that it wasnt to bad. did take me a long time since i kepted forgetting to get drunks in runs. my hint is to get drunk while you eat lunch or surf the net or watch tv. something you can look away from to click on booze. 
cosyfiep
what angel said....while you are reading this thread...have you gw going in the background...click on a drink (or 3 if you need )....go back to browsing---watch the tiny clock down in the bottom right of your screen....when 3 min has gone by...max the gw window. click again....I have been doing this for a while now (when I get the alcohol---will NOT stoop to buying it, only drink what I get)....am almost half way now and have a few kegs from nics last run to last me a bit (and the gift giver has been given me more )....
so be a multi-tasker....(I also do this while I am working on dinner----click on drink, go chop, ...check kitchen timer...click again....)

I totally lawled when I saw this thread. Seriously, the drunkard title was the EASIEST title I ever got. Like everyone has said (Or almost everyone) it is a piece of cake to drink while you are doing missions, vanquishing or what not. If you don't like or can't stand the blurry screen, then hit F11, turn off the post-processing effects and VOILA! No more blurry screen. Also, make sure the title screen is open, so you know when it's time to drink again.
Seriously, the QQ threads about "drunkard title is too hard" are totally epic fail. SACK UP AND DO IT!

i love this title and hate it too. but wouldn't change a thing, except maybe putting a meter on all booze like grog.

When I got level 1 (very early) I spent 1000 minutes just drinking, it was boring as hell and I vowed I would never get 10,000. But that was the wrong way to do it. I just drank as I played over time, and it was uurprising how easy it was, before I even knew it I was over 8,000 and now looking back the max title was a doddle. It's also the easiest to buy.
