Legendary Defender Of Ascalon (Account-Wide)

Hi, I did a search to see if this has even been mentioned before and nothing came up. If I am mistaken and there is a thread similar in context to this, please direct me to that.


I have a character that is going for the LDOA title and I don't want to move him to post and take him to HoM just to dedicate this title so it goes toward my Hall Of Monuments Reward Points.

I want to stay in presearing forever on this character but still be able to have the title count.

My request/proposition is to allow the Legendary Defender Of Ascalon title be an account-wide title so when completed on any character, I can use one of my post-searing characters to easily add the achievement to my Hall Of Monuments.

I think I speak for most perma-pre players on this issue.


Thank you.

Hey I'm digging this idea. I know I don't want to take my LDoA out of pre. That's the whole point in spending the time and energy into doing the title in the first place!

Well, I don't know about that, I understand why you would want it to be account wide, but I don't think it would make sense for a canthan or elonian character to have that title. I don't think there would be any logical way lore wise to add the title without going post-searing. The only thing I can think of is that a portal randomly appears that takes you to a future hall of monuments but with the door closed so you can't leave it and all the tapestries are already placed up for you so that you can add your title. However, if you ever decide to leave pre searing, then you will have to gather all the tapestry scrolls because the hall of monuments will be empty again if you go there. This is why I say future, because in the future, you will have inevitably filled up your hom, lore wise.

No.

Nightfall and factions characters shouldn't have it.

It makes sense.

With survivor, you can just bring the character there.
But if you bring the LDoA, it is no longer a LDoA.

Since HoM titles are account wide, and it's not a tittle that give benefits, so doing it with more than one character it's just... well, not something you usually do, that would at least let people put the title in the HoM without losing the character.


But, if you do it, you must be aware that those that have already took out their characters outside pre would not be very pleased...

It would be better if you could add it with a single character without leaving pre, like some new NPC in the North lands that appears when all players have Eye of the North, so you can talk to it. The the NPC 'records' the deed in the HoM account wide.
That way we won't have characters around that are not actually LDoA.

not that hard to make another character to dedicate to LDOA and also its not required to be in HOM. Most people on (presearing.com) have close to 3 LDOAs more or less...just takes time and effort like any other title.

LDoA is one of the very few titles left with some prestige still attached to it, and I believe it should only be wearable as a title for the character that earned it. It's a testament to your trials like GWAMM, if they were account wide titles everyone would be prancing around as GWAMM and LDoA's.

Anet was gracious enough to allow for it to be counted as an account wide title in the HoM and I think that is enough. It is your personal decision whether you leave your character in pre or take them to post. I have friends that have done both, and are quite content with their personal decision... Then again you could always make a second LDoA and have the best of both worlds

No, that is a terrible idea.

If you want it in the HoM just make another character.

Couldnt they make it appear in the hom without going there?

they should add an NPC in pre searing that recognizes it.

Having an NPC in Pre-Searing that would add your LDOA achievement to the Hall of Monuments would be an awesome idea.

For those of you that just say that my idea is dumb and don't supply a reason, stay off the forums and troll other threads please.

Thanks to those who have posted honest, well-thought out, and well-supported answers! Keep em' coming!

This might be a better idea:

While in account wide mode, any character is able to add titles from another character as long as the title is not yet added to your monument.
I.E.: You don't gain the title on all your characters, but you can use another character to add it

I like the idea of a npc in pre-searing that can transfer the title to the HoM.

Please Anet! <3

So, what?...Is the NPC just gonna travel the world for a few years and find your other character and be all:
"I once knew this guy, you kind of look like him, and he was a great guy. He was one of the best soldiers in Ascalon's army. You know what? Take his medal and put it in your own Hall of Monuments. No no, I insist."?

I suspect they will just think why not move that character on in the game and start another perm pre searing character.

The suggestion allowing one character on an account to add the title another character on the same account has earned seems a good compromise if it can be coded easily.

Signed for that option

^This. I don't think it's fair to get this for your GWAMM unless you bring that character out of pre and do all the stuff on that particular character. I do however think it should be added so you can leave that character in Pre. My main character was unable to get Survivor or LDoA because it was made in the first week of GW.

Good idea I think. If you have the title you should be able to keep it where it really belongs.

Lol don't get too involved in the mechanics of it! Does this means it should take a few years for anything you say in PM/Guild/AC in pre searing to reach the post searing chars too?

Sear it and add it into your HoM if you want the points otherwise why bother having the HoM at all.

If you wanted to prance around in Pre with the LDoA title, fine..stay there but if you wanted to add to your HoM...well, sorry.

I don't understand why anyone would want to stay in Pre after attaining LDoA.

Even the Northlands stop being difficult after about lvl16, and at 20 you lose access to the fire imp, which removes a significant chunk of your DPS for farming.

Makes more sense to just create a new perma-pre at that point.
