Multi-requirement.

First you'd need GWAMM.
Then you'd need to kill each boss of a specific profession to unlock that color.

Finally for all bosses completed, black aura or something to show the final completion, guarenteed solves the disco party because everyone would want to show off the top reward.

Yeah, because there aren't any bosses in missions or areas that don't count towards vanquisher... those randomly spawning bosses in Prophecies missions would make it an absolute nightmare. Of which I approve.

If you're being sarcastic, then fine, I'll lol along. If you're serious then I hate you, you're everything that is wrong with Guild Wars... lazy, incompetent and worthless.

The second Nightfall gained Hard Mode, GWAMM was achievable... EotN added an extra five titles to make it ridiculously easy, not to mention stupidly over powered skills and consets for the truly pathetic amongst us...

Really what is the point in making GWAMM so easy that it's more difficult to come up with a decent character name then achieve the highest ranked PvE title in the game? Do you understand what ACHIEVEMENT even means? I'm sick to death of players who expect to be given a free GWAMM just because they managed to muster the skill and intelligence required to log into the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing game.

People like that are every bit as bad as the damn botters.

If Anet wanted to improve GWAMM and titles in general, they'd make them so much harder to obtain, not longer or grindier, not boring repetitive task 10,000 times over but actually HARD as in Challenging. Less time spent grinding, infinitely more difficult challenges.

35 maxed titles is definitely possible. If you don't think so, just go check out the Show Off Your Titles thread. There definitely shouldn't be anymore titles added to the game. Not unless they plan on expanding the GWAMM title up to like 40, which they more than likely won't do becuase they still haven't brought it up to 35 yet, lol.

You cannot get this atm. It is impossible. This thread is to discuss what you would possibly have to do to get the aura if it were to be implemented in the game. The screenshots are from a youtube video(the one in the OP) and that person was using client side hacks to make his character glow with different colored boss auras.

There's a difference between lazy and not wanting to grind through boring piss.

GWAMM is already tainted by Shadow Form.

If I'm not wrong we already discussed it, somewhere. Anyway I like the idea and since it's your profession colour something linked to your profession would be nice, even if it's never gonna happen (new title needed I think)...something like having all the skills of your profession...sounds too much like something you can buy with money maybe. And also Elite skill hunter is buyable so no-no. Bounties suggestion is nice, but again a new title is never gonna happen. The only thing left is maybe GWAMM. So, as long as it's nothing you can buy, both in game or with real money, I'm fine with it.
And, for those complaining about disco effect...fireworks, other party items and crazy armor combinations (things like blue chest, yellow pants and green shoes, all shiny) already do it, it really couldn't be anything more blinding.

How is GWAMM on non-assassin professions tainted by shadow form? Not like you can get legendary guardian, legendary vanquisher, incorrigible alehound, max reputations, probably any title, by using shadow form. The only taint I can think of is that you got legendary master of the north by using a perma runner for a couple of HM dungeons. Not really that much of a taint over 30 titles.

It should be retro 5th year anniversary present, not some title grinding crap. However it's not coming at all so this is a bad thread.

Does anyone know if a texmod like this exists? If one was made it would probably have to be specific to profession, armor type, height, face etc...

I may have to make one o_O, its a really cool idea.

It's kinda cool, if they made it 35 titles and you could put the aura on when you show your KoBD title.

Or they if they added another rank to KoBD, R7 "Like A Boss"

Why reward for a title that has been exploited to shit?

Clueless.

Permas did cartography and certain vanquishes and reputation farms and raped so much gold from the game that purchase titles required not a second of thought, with many other professions pressing 123 at the giant ball of exploited AI they created reaping the benefiting together in a giant orgy of impatient bad gamers.

Titles are more of a joke than ever.

GWAMM titles are stupid in the first place. If they are going to reward titles like that, then what is the point of buying more character slots to make more characters? Might as well just play ONE character and concentrate all your efforts that way.

If they want to reward titles, they should make this total account-based titles.

I would say probably GWAMM on a couple of characters and a tiger. That would be boss worthy and maybe having every trophy possible in the HoM.

Add it for those players that have added every possible monument (except Codex) to Honor.

Then we could find some buyers of champ points and ban them.

Did you read the 'non-assassin professions part'? Certain vanquishes on perma? Other than the 1 or 2 kill vanquishes, which can be done on any profession, which vanquish could you do on a perma that wouldn't be much faster in a h/h team? Or rather, which vanquish could you perma at all, fast? Or did you just mean a perma build that can tank and then have the rest of the team spank? Because a perma isn't needed for that, you can have other professions tank with obby builds or bonds for example.

Cartography can be done with any running build, but it's much easier when you are vanquishing anyway, so no benefit to permas there either (unless of course you have that magic perma instant vanquish build you dreamed about).

The part about farming ectos/money on your perma and then buying titles (guardian, vanquish) on another toon in the services section or whatever is the only thing that might be true. Personally, I did my 29.5 titles on my ele on my own so far (including farming almost all of my cons titles).

Lol, having all the monuments would be quite an interesting requirement. Would mean that a person would have to be adept at both pve grind and pvp. Although idk about requiring the pvp ones seeing as having a boss aura from bosses that you encounter in pve sounds more like something that would come from pve. And what about all the people that didn't manage to get the HB monument? Permanently prevented from acquiirng a boss aura. And mini-pets? not quite possible to include them seeing as new ones are always coming out and there are uber rare ones that only a handful of people have. Have everything from hero, armor, weapon monument + pve title monuments? idk. Now it's just sounding poorly specified >_<

Good idea , looks fun but , looking at what should be made at the moment to make the game better ( bots , codex , inactivity , etc.. ) , the supposed update we're waiting for weeks , that will be delayed and delayed , it's hard to expect such a few thing to happen .

Anyway , in my opinion , that could be implemented like costumes , and you would need to pay something for it . Since , after few years , and as i said not many new content , almost everyone got r4-6 max titles , and as well for the hall of monuments , everyone would have it easily , without doing anything . The same can happen if you unlock it by doing quests .

So , to sum up , it's a " fun " idea , but not a " must " , thus it won't get implemented in my opinion , but it could appear like costumes.

Have to agree with this.

GWAMM is a conscious choice to achieve, one which does not interest me what-so-ever and really has little merit or stigma in GW any more.

Would be cool to get a title or reward based on the amount of time you have been an active player as opposed to yet another reward based on little more than repeating content.

To see such a reward for players that have stuck with the game for 5 years, regardless of your play style and motivations, would be a cool thing.

After all....

Would be nice as long as you could turn it off & on. I guess it could be added as an item craftable by the dwarf that makes chaos gloves as an ecto sink? It would be fun at first then after a week you'd have to not wear it to look unique, just like with chaos gloves

You mean something that go to people who played for 5 years since now or also to apply in the future after 5 years play?
If only the first case, all the ones who didn't buy it at realise would be cut out...

Exactly.

We are talking hypothetically here so lets say a 3-4 year award.

Seems redundant to contemplate 5 years from today...for obvious reasons.

I just like the idea of players that have been around since the early days getting a reward or optional aesthetic differentiation, regardless of how many in game hours they have or whether or not they jumped on the title grind bandwagon.

As opposed to what we have at present this would be a cool option and when my guilds dead, I'd sure as heck know who to PuG with.

Hear no evil see no evil I get it.

Might be true? You are clueless, it's not an insult it's an observation.

You did it all on your ele, ele's had SF and abused it just as much, if you didn't use it than good for you but none of us will know that for a fact, your HoM doesn't say anything about you doing it the way the game intended, nor does an abusers HoM have the asterisk it deserves.

Nothing more than a joke now.

I think cruising through the show off your titles thread and applying that to the majority or even a large minority of GW players is naive. I'm still having trouble finding GWAMM's or even Guild Hall Smells characters anywhere other than in major trading centers or pvp areas. I still get "nice title" messages when I cruise through towns on my GWAMM warrior. It's only a joke for people who close themselves off and interact with a select few players, or spend all their time on elitist-filled forums such as GWG.

I predict that if this happens, the most you'll see in any given town other than dist 1-3 of kamadan/LA/shing jea, ID1 HA, or dist 1 GTOB is maybe 2 or 3 boss-aura GWAMM characters, unless you stumble across a gathering of them deciding to screw around somewhere else.

Which is exactly how I play but you, and the poster you quoted, seem to be making the assumption that the people who obtain the aforementioned rewards do so purely for status in the community which is highly inaccurate in my experience.

And the people who have the achievement prolly give no shit that you give no shit, but enjoy the fact that you still had to see it whether you care or not. Maybe even think it's more satisfying that you are so determined to give no shit.

I spose people will kill/flame me for that but i'd like to see it for a character that reached GWAMM (or 35 titles tho that wouldn't make any difference as the way from 30-35 is mostly Acc-wide titles) without dying. I know that would be unacceptable cause it excludes almost all old characters.

Seriously tho. While it certainly looks cool i'm not really able to think of any achievement that'd be worth it. For Skill Hunter it would make the most sense since that requires alot of Boss killing. Lets say whenever you have all elites of one proffession on your character you get that proffessions elite color.
