As the title says i would like to see a new protector like title for completing WiK and the upcomming Cantha content (and maybe this new nuclear love parade wedding extravaganza could be included aswell)

It could replace the drunkard title for those NON ALCOHOLIC players who would like to get GWAMM.

notsigned for the simple fact that there are more than enough titles to obtain GWAMM easily already.

The content isn't big enough for a title of its own imo. Plus you already get rewards for oppressor weapons from it.

I don't think it will be as long-winded as any of the current titles to obtain, and it has been made easier as the new content has rolled out too so takes even less time.

There is no major input required specifically for this content, it's a few quests and some massive rewards to showcase the storyline for GW2. In-game advertising to keep you busy and entertained for a little longer.

It would be then easiest, cheapest and most unrewarding title to obtain in the game.

I wouldn't mind a simple one-title reward seeing as we're veterans of a war now.

They could do something simple like not making it a part of GWAMM or the HoH if they really care that much about it, but it would still be pretty cool.

Replace Drunkard with some piss easy title to get people Gwamm who dont like to grind..sorry its 3-4 years too late for that..what about those alot who already have grinded their arse off for gwamm back from 07 already.Gwamm is completely optional and cosmetic..if you want it you grind it.

This. it already counts towards the HoM.

I'd be all for an extra non-3-year-long-account-based-grind-title to remove the need for drunkard, but there are way better ways of going about it than adding an extra title that pretty much amounts to something petty like another Protector.

You don't need the drunk title to acquire the gwamm title. Even if you did, you don't need to sit around doing nothing all day. You can just drink some ale while you are actually playing the game. You will even benefit from some skills this way.

Well... you kind of do.

Treasure hunter, seeker of wisdom, zaishen, and kurz, all of the PvP's are not feasible for anyone that's started GW less than 2 years ago.

Someone unfortunate enough to miss the Survivor/LDoA bandwagon on their main will find themselves deadlocked at 28/30. Which translates into Lux/Drunk grind.

kurz/lux/wisdom/treasure are all grinds yes, but they are legit options. Watch for double weekeds and you can easily cut your grind in half.

If you decide to pick Drunk then that's your choice, but no, you don't need it for gwamm. My main point is that you don;t need to stand in town doing nothing to get your drunk title. You have option. Maybe you could start power trading, take the time to sell off some items clogging up your inventory, or play through the game while drunk. There is also the option of zoning/running through portals to get your minutes. If someone decides to stand in town, doing nothing, saying he needs the title for gwamm, thats on him. He had other options and decided to pick the most boring route possible...

Congratz. How far along is your zaishen/treasure hunter/seeker of wisdom title?

Maybe once all the content is out it could lead to a title.
If there are at least 2 more war story lines for Factions and Nightfall and maybe a final pull all the story lines together quest all of that might be worth a title.
Its already doing a lot for the hom since you get oppressor weapons which are a lot easier and cheaper to get than Destroyer or Tormented weapons.

You also according to the news get a new hero which would count in the hom.
Quite a few points available so far.

Those are suprisingly good stats for a 1st year, but still a long ways to go for max. This is exactly why faction allegiance and drunkard are still viewed as necessary for GWAMM.

Agreed. (I know this from 1st hand experience) With Survivor, the easiest title to max to get that 30th title is Drunkard. There is absolutely no reason to just "stand around" drinking to get the title. I'm currently working on my 2nd GWAMM (I have no life - ) and at just over 57 hours of game play on her, she's got nearly 1,500 minutes (25 hours) towards drunk - AND she's got just over 1.6 million XP. It's a simple process: Lower your graphics to elimiate the drunk effect. Using 3-minute drinks, fire one off every once in a while while out questing and stuff. (Use the 1-minute drinks while in town buying/selling stuff, chatting, or whatever.)

this is a very bad idea. if you want gwamm you have to grind for it. after 18months of playing this game i had gwamm with max lux/kurz. and i didnt have to get drunkard

The content is too small for a title and you get oppressor weapons for the HoM.

On GWAMM : for money titles, halloween said "hi" less than a month ago(also said "bye" but wintersday is coming). And even if you didn't jump on the DTSC/MQSC wagon before it got harder, well it's still easier to max kurz and lux. Also you could have gotten survivor, so that's one less title to go.

Newsflash: Not all content needs a title. WiK actually isn't that long if you cut out the trivial stuff like watching the talk bits and such. Oppressor Weapons are your reward anyway.

It isn't that hard. I never cared about titles, and after taking nearly 3 years off the game I came back to just the 3 protector titles. Still, I managed to max 4 more titles and add 7 points to my HoM in about a month or two of casual playing. I can only imagine what a true grind-type player could accomplish in that time. I know one of my former guildies who didn't stop playing during that period has GWAMM 50/50 on two different accounts.

I will shortly be getting GWAMM on my first char without drunkard. Thus not impossible. Luxon will probably be my last one. Honestly most of my luxon faction has come from dicking around in JQ/AB when I was bored. These days it's comming from a vq but I would honeslt consider it much less grindy then drunkard and thereby a better option. onto the idea of a title. No. Unless it dosent count towards GWAMM and I don't have as much of an issue with it going into the HoM but honestly you already get HoM points for doing Wik and GW:B content.

Easier and cheaper than Sunspear? You don't have to try to achieve it... if you go for guardian and vanquisher it will come on the way.

I do agree that is an unneeded title though. GWAMM is not meant to be easy imo. Although it kinda is xD
Just takes some time for a casual player is all. A tad boring maybe, but that can be dealt with.

Drunkard is not that bad either (I have my dislikes for it too) I just sit around drinking a bit now and then, while I do homework, look at facebook, guru and news on gw or gw2 if there is any, while I make lunch or dinner or clean up my appartment, even while I watch some tv or anime. Yeah I made it almost as an afk title... thats what works for... maybe especially because I don't have to have time to play to work on it lol
Also drink while Im just on chatting with people or at a ingame radio party.
Im a long way to a maxed drunkard (Im just a little bit over halfway there)
On the brightside it have cost me nothing at all but effort, I have not bought a single point, but been lucky with kegs from nick, and attending holiday events... farming when there is grog. Kinda hope I can keep it that way... getting it from farming at the right times and such and not buying them

If it means I don't have to do the drunk title, then yes Guild Wars needs more titles.

Hurr...i'm 777 minutes into Drunkard, so I guess i'd appreciate this title to take some of the load off but really. It'd be insanely easy; WiK was like <10 hours of gameplay.

so 1 year to get 30 titles and you think that is a joke? that is a lot of time in 1 game. I could see 1 month being a joke, but 1 year? the joke must be relative.

technically you could get gwamm in 1-3 months as how easy as it is. As not playing constantly, yes that is a relatively short amount of time for a game that has been out for so long let alone those who 'whine' about how hard it is to get 'gwamm'. It takes roughly an hour to get any toon level 20, then another few hours to get survivor, then start synching titles, and it can easily be gotten in very very short amount of time. And this is so far without even having the 7 hero parties yet, that will just make it even faster. So yes, Gwamm is a joke, and an even easier title than something to actually work for in getting it would be even more deteriorating to the title which already means pretty much nothing other than some hard work.

I even spoke with a person once who had gwamm, but didn't know how to 'rune' up their toon and hero's.... gwamm alone is a joke but the bigger part are those whining about how hard it is to get.

You don't get to be called a God for doing minimal work.

If you wanna be God, you work for it.

I've been playing this game for five years and have 20 maxed titles (I'm slow. Also got about 15 of those within the past 1.5 year). I'm confident I'll get the other ten before GW2 comes out--4 Vanquishers, 3 Cartographers, Luxon, and either Wisdom+Treasure or Sweet+Party.

Also, be grateful for your shiny Oppressor's Weapons. You could go farm the Domain of Anguish to get the extra Tormented weapons for the HoM, or you could do the Wanted bounty once a day for 3 weeks and get an Oppressor's Weapon that easily.

Hearts of the North just made it easier to get Oppressor's, too.

I don't think they'll ever add any other title.

GWAMM is an optional title, and options already exist to obtain it. If you want GWAMM, go complete those titles. If you don't want to do them, then don't.

I'm not sure. I don't think that these things are long enough to really warrant their own titles, even cumulatively. I can see how it might be able to hold up its own title because of how BIG they are (in the sense that they're impacting the world tremendously), but I can't say for sure since we've only seen a small portion of them thus far.

I feel like a weapon that you're able to put in your HoM is a pretty good reward in itself. I imagine we'll get more rewards that are just as good from Cantha and Elona as well.

So until someone suggests the actual title tiers/how you get them, I'm going to say notsigned.

I'm pretty indifferent to titles anyway, probably natural apathy or being plain lazy.
Offer me money for achieving gwamm a new car a holiday or a tv then ok I will get off my proverbial ass and work for it.

Or make the titles actually interesting to do then I am in.

Spending many thousands of tedious hours to get a title that loads of people will have then bleah no you can stick it.

All I need is enough titles and that is currently 5 and may rise to ten if I have problems getting the Rainbow phoenix.
