So Pre is due to have daily quests allowing LDoA achievable without hours and hours of death levelling.
I'll be sure to roll a new Pre toon for this, but I do have some sympathy for those who achieved it the harder way.
LDoA less painful

Yep, i'll be rolling a character for this. I find doing quests, even repetitive dailies, way more fun than uh...dying. Just have to decide on whether to make a Mesmer or Ele now.

The real challenge is getting it on a paragon. Now THATS impressive.
khios
Even more you can now achieve LDoA & LS! Amazing isn't it, it's a shame no one thought of it since yesterday! :P

I think people who got it will still be happy. Normally people who get it are rather mature.

wait they adding stuff to Pre? i though (somewhere on wiki) it was a stone they were never going to move after Nick? OMG

Ok I think I'm missing something here, where was it said there'll be daily quests in pre?

Im so happy about this news. Every time i could i asked for this and now its almost here^^
My char is lvl 15 and i have done some death lvl sessions but i did not like gaming that way so my char was stuck in pre for 2,5 years now.
Im only curious about the quests. what amount of xp will we get. Hope not that much. and will there be rewards like zaishen coins where u can get higher armor pieces or so. Gold is useless in pre so i hope we dont get that from the quests.
And costumes in pre is something i hope they implement in ascalon with the HoM npc.
But we will see when the update is here.

See thread about developer updates on this forum. As for feeling sorry for the stuff the predecessors went through. I feel none, they did very little in the actual game most of the time, it was gather up charr, walk away for the night/day etc then kill them. Gather up, walk away again. Not really impressed with that.
But I am glad they are going to make it a bit easier to accomplish.

And finally, a good reason to go in parties in pre.
Now I wish the area was for parties of 4 since the beginning.

Finally makes sense. Legendary Defender never seemed appropriate as a title for dying over and over, not even defending yourself, much less ascalon.
One quest a day it is still going to take time.

I am annoyed everytime they make a title easier - who wants to play GW2 if you know that if you wait for 5 years they will have made the whole thing so easy you can do it in a week?
They should at least change the title name when they change a title so much.
They should have implemented a good way of getting LDoA when the introduced the title. Changing it now is fooling no-one - got to make it easy for the attention-deficit kids to get 30/50 so they buy GW2.
They should just give every char every title at creation and be done with it ^^

This was an insane title to go for from the get go. There's insane difficult, or insane time, and this wasn't the first option.
cosyfiep
yeah they could have just changed the name to legendary DEATH-leveler of ascalon and be done with it 
but yeah might dust off my perma-pre characters and let them do something beside sync dancing.

This title isn't getting made easier, it's getting more interactive and more fun (this is good).
Ascended Furling
30/50 is already easy to get. Got it on a account without spending ingame money or spend a lot of time.
This part of update is just to make pre much more fun. fighting high level mobs with your starter armor(collector armor is a bit better) will be a lot of fun... i hope.

I'm extremely excited about this. My pre character is my second oldest, and now he'll finally get his title and move on in the world!
Having a title only be obtainable by abuse was always just terrible. This needed to happen.
P.S. Same for Survivor

Considering that the title only came after someone had figured out a way to level to 20.. It should have been "I was Bored and So" title.
Its never been more than a very dedicated unintended use of a game mechanic.
As Stumme said.. now it will come by playing the game.
That is a good thing.

And yes I will be rolling a new char for this too :P

In all seriousness, LDoA is a real electricity burner right now and it's probably a good thing that it will change. John Strumme said that it won't completely devalue LDoA so I think the XP rewards might be a bit stingy or something.

about 15:22 in the video "Takes an image of a character as it exists right then..."
Does this mean the mercenary hero cannot be changed at all once it is made? If so, then that might suck majorly. You would have to buy a new slot when skill changes happened.

This is really great news! Mr. Stumme's regime is really taking the bull by the horns and doing some fantastic things.

*LordDragon i'm pretty sure you can delete/recopy the "image" you just made of your self. I think your just playing for how many "images" of your self/character you can buy at a time and place as a merc-hero.

So is now the time to make a push for a Xunlai Chest in Pre, sporting just one panel?
I'm curious to find out more about the mercenaries....whether character weapons in hand will apply to each mercenary. Definitely a cool, but not needed function.
Im sure lots of people will be upset considering you have to pay for it, but yet theres been plenty of in-game money and time spent on upgrading existing hero's. In many mind-sets, it might not be worth throwing all that money and time to the side for mercenaries.
I always like options that you don't have to pay to make things easier, but can make your particular gaming experience more exciting.
Lets take one moment to remember, that these micro transactions help Anet progress with GW1 and GW2. I certainly dont mind helping out with that considering going on 6 years worth of no subs.

LDoA and Drunkard are the two most annoying titles that I can think of right now. It is not that they are hard to achieve, they are just annoyingly tedious and boring.
When the game goes into the "annoyingly tedious boring mechanical do-this-same-boring-task-for-the-next-1000000000-times" mode of playing (aka super grind), is what makes people want to quit playing, except for those with too much time on their hands and dont have a life.
I am a human player, not a bot, so dont ask me to play like a bot.

I just hope the xp rewards are extremely low. not to be mean or something. But for people who alrdy got the title it would be lame if u guys can get it within a month or so.

People should be less concerned about their personal accomplishments being influenced by the accomplishments of others.

I can already see this: "Looking for a lvl2 for the daily quest!", for cheating the scaling. The new gate monkey?
I need to make a pre char now. I will be there for at least 9 days! Longer than I've ever been before
The true LDoA is John Stumme!
