"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Yeah that would be unbalanced. Maybe give them a special 'aura' that they can choose to turn on or off that intensifies with more achievements.

how does it unbalance the game when you can have restrictions on it doesn't work for pvp and such. I'm more of the PvE person anyway and after having the game for more than a year i have nothing left to do even gaining a title doesn't seem worth it when you have to spend mass amounts of gold open chests than go farm more make more money and open more chests and such. Break free from the routine Farm Spend Farm

and have some fun unless of course your one of those robots who loves to farm than i understand.

It'd be nice to have a UAX title, for unlocking all skills/upgrade/runes/whatever

UAX (1) would be Core + 1 campaign (either factions or prophecies)
UAX (2) would be Core + 2 campaigns (factions + prophecies)
UAX (3), you get the idea, etc.

It's something that would probably appeal to both pve and pvp crowd, and would probably help bridge the differences between the two, while giving other people usefull information on your account (if you're lfp or looking for guild).

Since there are also food special items, there could be a

Sweet tooth : 1000 food items used.
Glutton : 10000 food items used.

Current food items:

More titles are always good thing to have. Still I don't think they should give much benefits besides prestige. This game HAS to be balanced and this is what NCSoft are actually trying to do with every new patch.

Title Obsessive.
You have too many titles to present to the public, you constantly suffer a -10% death penalty because your so depressed you cant show everyone your awesome list of near pointless titles.

My friend, you are either so bad player that you have no titles so you are jealous of us, or you are just grouchy and trying to get in conflict with someone. Titles are a nice and entertaining concept in GW and since I've got most of them I do think more to hunt for will come in nicely.

I realized you get title for gaining factions with Kurzik and Luxon but there is no title for people who gained Balthazar facions.

Since there is a way for people to buy the PVP edition from the store - the actual unlocking of all skills should not indicate a title - nor the amount of balthazar redeemed - since many people play on with their buffer maxed.

this will enable people to prove their pvp experience even if they were not too much into HA or ran with Champ guilds.

But somthing like:
10,000 balthazar -> rooky competitor.
50,000 balthazar -> novice competitor.
200,000 balthazar -> veteren competitor.
350,000 balthazar -> expert competitor.
500,000 balthazar -> Deadly competitor.
750,000 balthazar -> Elite competitor.
1,000,000 balthazar -> Master of Competition.
1,500,000 balthazar -> Grandmaster of Competition.
3,000,000 balthazar -> Adept of Competition.

I personally would switch adept and grandmaster around, since adept is usually below grandmaster.

More titles is, simply, a bad thing. It only serves to devalue the existing ones. Personally I'd hope that Anet would very carefully consider any new title idea. Flooding the system with 30 new titles, most of which are easily obtained simply by playing the game for a little while, would quickly result in the entire title system losing its substance.

Hi everyone.

I've posted something like this before, but recently had few new ideas.

Basically people who worked hard to get KOBD are a bit frustrated seing how easy it is today. Simply compare Grand Master Cartographer and Sweettooth. Any person, who never played GW before, can achieve within half an hour by lot of doubleclicking. It is not "Sweet tooth" it is "Pain In The ... Finger".
So it cheapened KOBD,PKM track.

Few months ago there was discussion/poll about making international and regional titles. For example: person who have GMC of Tyra, Cantha and Elona, Would have International Grand Master Cartographer.

NOW THE IDEA:

Lets expand this idea. Make more titles, and more Combined Titles. Titles that would be worth something. Lets start with introducing the titles for quests (there is separate topic about it). Lets assume that its name is Adventurer.
Also (again separate topic) divide Skill Hunter to regional ones.

Now how combined titles work:

someone with: Grand Master Cartographer of Tyria, Grand Master Adventurer of Tyria, Protector of Tyria, Tyrian Skill Hunter would be able to get a title "Tyrian Closed Book (please think about better name)" or "Closed Book(1)".

Now if person, would have those 4 titles for all three continents he would have "International Closed Book" or "Closed Book (3)".

Please let me know if displaying this title wouldn't be more prestigious than PKM received for drinking, eating and standing in 9 circles.

As always, please feel free to flame me for this idea. Any suggestions are always welcome. And I already apologize for lack of imagination when it comes to names of those titles

I'm proud of my 1,000,000,000 deaths, thank you. (I may have put too many zeroes in that one... i'll check when I get home :P)

My warrior, who used to farm old school, has undoubtedly spent at least a week in stances.

My necromancer used to do minion factory. I'd have the summoning title in the bag.

I'm approaching 1.2 mil on a character I made a week ago (55 monk :P). Gimmie title

Reading discussions of the impending HARD MODE I thought up a new title in a similar vein: VOW OF POVERTY

With the ranks being issued based on number of missions/quests completed while still wearing your Noobie Armor and Wielding your original issue Noobie Weapon. If you ever change armor or weapon, title track goes away.

To make it even more fun you could also make the title void if the person establishes a "bank" account, or has more than some small number of gold pieces in their inventory. (based on the mission rewards they would receive.)

Anyone who could complete a game while keeping this title track alive AND the Survivor track alive would be a candidate for title of "Best Player Ever".

Experience title is not just for bots. And bots/gold farmers really don't care about titles, they care about money. I personally would like an xp title. getting a little tired of all the bs about it being for bots.
13,773,623xp and counting.
My ranger is hardly a bot, she's KOABD and another title would make me happy. She has also has every skill in the game unlocked on her so a title for that would be nice too. Skill hunter r5 is nice, but a title for all skills would be sweet too, and a possible way to show xp since it requires quite a lot. O_O

http://premium1.uploadit.org/jamesck...-bot-fools.jpg
I'm sure some people will not think, and reply that there are 1134 skills not 995, but she's a tyrian char so she had loads of quests to unlock skills. And I included the /age for the people who would see my xp and scream, "No Life!"

i saw something in this quote that caught my eye. "my ranger is harldy a bot, she's KOABD and another..............."

these titles that you are noting at are so easy to get. people like cg two a wouldn't beable to brag about acheiving KOABD, heck, with these titles 4/5 people would be running around town with KOABD, and they will only be lvl 15! so what, almost everybody has 60% of a map explored, and thats not something to complain about, those people have either not played a lot on their characters, or they just dont want to hunt for titles. i remember about 6 months ago i got 60% of tyria explored, and i will be completely honest with you guys i was so proud of walking around with a title under my name.

with these new titles, a toon walking around with "I'm very important" will be very common.

Here's my idea for an experience title:

Coming of Age - Virtual Level 100 - 1,337,600 xp
Experienced - Virtual Level 250 - 3,587,600 xp
Well Experienced - 10,000,000 xp
Elite Veteran - Virtual Level 1,337 - 19,892,600 xp

A title for unlocking non-elite skills is the only valid title here.

Likewise, a "Discovery" title would be more appropriate.

Discovery would be account based, and gain points for unlocking skills, elite skills, item upgrades, heroes, etc. Anytime that window pops up that says _____ unlocked! You'd get points.

In addition, another valid title would be "Good Natured" - obtained by doing quests (repeatable ones do not count, or if they do, they count for very little). There are hundreds, possibly over a thousand, quests to do - and doing ALL of them, and FINDING *ALL* of them, takes a long time. Having some sort of reward for being a dedicated quester would be appropriate.

Suggestions for UAX title

Make it campaign-based, so you get a maxed title per campaign.
Make it that you need to unlock all skills for all professions, which is not trivial to do.
Make it account-based, so you can unlock skills with different characters if you want.
Do not include PvE-specific skills, so that the title can be achieved in PvP.
Include elite skills in the count.

In The Way - Interrupted 100 skills

Good Posture - Has been in stances for a total of 100 hours

Luxurious - Has used 500 signets successfully

All of those titles are bad ideas... Except maybe an exp title and the account based title on gaining UAX, they're all very bad...

Basic rules
I think we should agree on what should make a title in the first place, so here's some rules that should make some sort of a consensus.

1) They should be reasonably hard to get.
2) If counting for KOABD, they should be achievement-based rather than money-based or time-based. We have enough money-based and time-based titles as it is.
3) Some fun titles (such as # of deaths or Leeroy) can be included, if they don't count towards KOABD.

Also, accept that "KOABD" and "I'm very important" will be easier to get as more campaigns come out, but that actually "important" people will have higher levels in that title anyway. So it all works out even in the end.

New titles suggestions
Add a title like KOABD, except that it counts useless bot-titles. For example, titles such as aggroing, dying, hours spend, etc could count towards this title, and do not count towards KOABD. I'd have it like this:

I have no life (5 maxed useless titles)
I dream in 733t-5p33k (10 maxed useless titles)
I EBay my plats (15 maxed useless titles)
I married an Asura (20 maxed useless titles)

As much as I like new titles, I would be very concerned about an exp title track. If you could display your exp to others an unecessary level of discrimination might occur in PvE missions. "LFG for mission. MUST SHOW EXP TITLE." Let me go ahead and add on that my virtual level is approaching 250 for my primary character. Yet if I wanted to work on another character I would be treated as a noob? I just don't think it's a good idea...

Yet if I wanted to work on another character I would be treated as a noob? I just don't think it's a good idea...

Account- vs. char-based titles
I'd favor account-based titles in most cases, because for most titles, it doesn't matter which char you used to complete the title. The following titles fit as account-based, IMHO: cartographer, drunk, lucky, friend of the luxons, ...

Some titles make sense to be character-based, e.g. survivor...

Some are kinda in-between, that is, they could fit either way depending on community preference, e.g. protector, vanquisher, ...

Having more account-based titles would help give recognition to players who spend time developing several characters, or who developed a new character yet have shown some accomplishments.

Discrimination based on titles
Some people already discriminate based on titles, such as rank in PvP. Titles do have meanings. Face it, you'd rather party up with Protectors than with Drunks when attempting the Master's reward. The same with XP - it shows that you played a long time, but not necessarily that you have skills beyond the ability to kill lvl 20-24 monsters.

I'd be more worried about discrimination based on titles that show skill, like Survivor or Protector, than on those that show XP (much less consumption).

PS: congrats on virtual level 250.

"Ok, this is too much"
133700 shouts in battle

id like to have a title that says you have completed everything in a campaign: 100% map, all bonus in HM, all vanquisher and all elite skills.

after that, you get a tyrian, canthan or elonian pver. when you have all of these 3, you get legendary pver. or sorta.
