Let Me Enjoy The Game More - make titles account wide(GWAAM)

Hey

It has been done with HOM why cant it be done with GWAAM?

I think it would be great if Anet made all the titles account wide thus it would allow me to have more fun farming them. It would allow us to complete GWAAM thorugh multiple characters. (It wouldnt be any easier to acquire , you would still need to go through hell) but at least for example i could do Skill hunter on my neco while i do Vanquisher with my warrior.

It would inspire me to clear the game with several professions. And collect different titles with each.

It would let me fight for survivor title which would also progress my GWAAM even if i had already died with my first(main) character).

The source of this is that when i first started the game i rolled a necro. And maxed 10 titles with it and i really dont want to repeat the whole process. I want to enjoy while playing and work towards new things ( Isnt that ANET's philosophy too, to enjoy playing ? ) but now i am really bored of my necromancers and i would prefer to do vanquishing with my warrior but i cant!!!! That way it wont work towards my GWAAM which is my ultimate goal so now im settled not to do it at all.

Please dont comment things like "it wouldnt be fair with those who already got the title because it just makes no sense. I still have to do the same things , but at least now we could do it in a way which let us enjoy the game more.

Hmm... I think Vanquisher and Skill Hunter are bad examples to use there. The trick is to look at how different titles synergise so you're actually working towards 2/3+ at once while doing one thing. LDOA and Survivor are the only ones I can really think of that mean you would NEED another character.

I personally want to play different classes for fun, not because of titles. As much as it'd be great to start a Level 1 character in Prophecies with a r10 Norn title... Do you see the problems now? :/

You can enjoy the game enough across characters because you know that all your achievements account wide will count in your hall for gw2. You should take more care in picking a profession that you would enjoy for longer. It is not our fault that you become easily bored. GWAMM is not a title for the faint of heart, nor those that become easily bored.

Call it whatever you want, I don't care : I don't want to see a level 1 with GWAMM.

Titles like vanquisher, guardian, skill hunter shouldn't be account wide (although money titles should).

u really have to be fanatic to max gwaams on multiple characters.. its their problem lets just look at things with the view point of an average player please
yeah there is HOM you can work towards with multiple characters but compare chapion of the gods with god walking amongst mere mortals title its not even a fight gwamm is way cooler
an on the other replay "i play for fun not for titles" There is not much you can do in guildwars other than work for titles and have fun in the process. Everything you do is basically a title. And because of the instanced nature of the game there is really nothing you either farm money/ try to be the nr1 speedclearer/or the titleking.

The "Legendary" titles for guardian and vanquisher should be account wide. For example, if I vanquished nightfall with my paragon, factions with my rit, and prophesies with my mesmer, I should be able to get an account wide legendary vanquisher. Money titles, like sweet tooth, drunkard, and party animal should also be account wide. I mean there isn't really any reason not to make these titles account wide and making them account wide would allow me to attend in game parties or festivals with which ever character I choose to rather than my one sweet tooth/drunkard/party animal character.

Is there really any reason not to make money titles/legendary titles account wide? I didnt think so.

The benefits from them in GW2 are already account wide.

Does not need to be changed.

I agree. Many of these should be account wide. I collected all the mesmer elites on guess what? My mesmer! Same for monk, warrior, etc. I spent the same amount of time as someone who did it all on a single character. I do not see why it should not count as a whole.

Many of these SHOULD be account based. In fact I cannot think of any titles that should not.

I know everyone is all about GW2 but there are people who still would like to accomplish things in gw and have fun in the process

The gwamm title is something that is supposed to be hard to get. If you roll all the titles into account wide then what is the point of having a title hunter? Your main chick/dude that when poo hits the fan you know who to drag outta retirement?

Somethings are worth working hard for, and since gwamm has been my dream for forever, don't cheat me out of it when I am almost there....

Hasn't it been stated somewhere by Linsey that no more titles will be made account wide? Or was it just that no new titles will be added? I cannot remember.

I made a similar suggestion months ago and got lynched by a horde that for the most part lacked the reading comprehension to even understand what I was saying (sad thing is some mods didn't seem to either.)

A few people will agree but the majority won't. ANet knows that it RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up with the GWAMM title, since it will be transferred into GW2 on an account by account basis. Don't hold your breath on it being fixed in GW1 though.

cheat you out of it?! it wont be any easier to get it its the same amount of effort
+ if u do it with multiple characters it takes even longer coz u have to beat the game with each character to have acces to the zones

The account wide HoM is there to get all the titles you want.

They didn't make GWAMM count for the calculator. Someone without GWAMM can have 18/18 just like someone with it could only get 14/18. So if you want that "cool" title that you have to work for it like it was intended.

Sorry, but you pretty much listed all there was to do in any games PvE wise with the exception of "crafting" but that can be resumed to "farm money".
If you are bored by PvE then go play PvP.

By that logic every titles should be made account wide. Although I agree for the money titles.

Money titles should be, dont see why they arent already, the rest is pushing it too far imo. Maybe add the rep ones as nobody wants to grind that shit more than once anyway.

/notsigned. you can get a lot of the statues that aren't titles on ANY character you want for your HoM. You can get the armors, the hero statues and the weapons ALL on different characters. GWAMM is the pursuit of 30 max titles on ONE character. Period.

It shouldn't be implemented since it will make it more difficult then.

When this idea was first proposed I was firmly against it.
From my own point of view it was because I like my characters to be separate entities and I hated the idea that I could map an area with one character then create a new one and he had an instant title.

Also it was bad for others because some wanted to get the titles on multiple characters in the hope of greater GW2 rewards and it wasn't fair to suddenly make that achievement go away.

It was just plain wrong to screw over players that had done a huge amount of work.

Now I am pretty much indifferent to the idea and could care less if it came in.
Firstly because I will be moving to GW 2 and doing all my character designing and role playing there and secondly because we know it doesn't matter if you have everything on one character or on 20 characters you still get the same reward.

I am on 24 points and will get to 30 with armour companions and weapons.
I have 5 titles and am not going to destroy my brain getting many more.

I am getting Asura Norne and so on to 5 so I can get armour on different characters and working my Assassin and Dervish through Nightfall to get elite armour then will coast my way through the game till GW2 arrives.
Given what we know about the HOM its not that important an issue.

That said it would be nice if anet game a nice gift to players with GWAMM on say 5 or more characters just to mark their achievement.

While I agree that not every title should be account wide (eotn faction titles, ss/lb, and individual continent guardians, protectors, and vanquisher titles for example), what is you all's opinion on making a few more titles account wide?

I mentioned earlier in this thread and Ill mention again the money titles (sweet tooth, drunkard, and party animal). I can't really think of any reason why these titles should not be account wide and it would be nice to get all of the sweet tooth points accumulated from personal cons or drunkard points accumulated for drunkan master into one pool of sweet tooth/drunkard points. Plus, this would allow us to attend parties with any character we want to at the time. So how about the money titles?

Another idea I mentioned earlier was making the legendary vanquisher, legendary guardian, and legendary cartographer titles account wide. This way you could vanquish different continents or do different guardian titles on different characters for the legendary Vanquisher, legendary guardian, and legendary cartographer HoM statues.

I know this isn't exactly what the OP was asking but it is pretty related to the original topic and I didnt want to make an additional thread just to pose this idea when it is so similar to the one being discussed here.

No, there is playing a lot and playing too much. More than 1 GWAMM is too much.

It's not because this game is old or people are going to move to GW2 that GWAMM should be even more accessible to everyone.
Before choosing (yes you have to choose) which character you want to get GWAMM with, you should think : do I really want to play with that character through all those missions ? vanquishes ? zones ? dungeons ?

The only titles that should become account wide are the money titles (yes I'm going to keep repeating that).
