1) figure out how many "levels" of poster you want to have
2) take the maximum in-game level of monster that is known,
3) and divide that number by the number from step (1)
4) multiply each position number by the number from step (3) to get the "ingame" level of each position
5) find a creature of that level and make that the title

example:
1) 10 positions
2) 30 levels
3) 3-level jump between each position
4) so you wind up with positions of level 3,6,9,12,...30
5) thus the titles become things like: skale tadpole, stone elemental, charr hunter, ... mursaat necromancer (complete with the power to animate dead threads)

kapische?

now, currently, it looks like you have ~16 positions, so it'd be more like 2-level jumps, but you get the point.

One thing to bear in mind is that there are many players who have either Prophecies or Factions, not both.

My list alternates Tyrian creatures with Canthan ones in an attempt to make the ranks familiar to all.

Either that or make them all non-specific to either chapter (probably not a bad idea with C3 just around the corner*).

As long as they're non-Quixotic





*November? In "astronomical" terms, I think that's "late spring"

Keep this on topic. Anything that doesn't contribute, isn't serious, or has absolutely nothing to do with GW will be deleted.

In Site Feedback, it was brought up, why aren't our titles based on GW, after all, this is a GW forum.

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?t=3059926

Thus the reason for this thread.

But I like Don Quixote
A funny idea would be some of the FoTM's of PvP even PvE
like Sprit Spammer, IWAY'er, Wammo even...
if I were to chose the ones from the OP, it would be Snograt's
XXXXX Guru isn't that appealing of a name

Oh, we don't need a change. I love the Quixote ones! The whole Sancho Panza < Rocinante < Don Quixote < Cervantes < The Barber < Rouge Guinart < Dulcinea del Toboso < Cardenio thing. And I've almost got one... Just a few more to go till Sancho Panza.

EDIT: Oh wait. I did have it.

I dont think any of the titles should have derrogatory terms in them.

and i dont think any pvp builds should be in them either. I for one believe that a title calling me an iway farmer or something else is a no-no.

I use IWAY sometimes and even I don't find IWAY farmer derogatory...
Like I said, we aren't picking on IWAY, but using any other FoTM, including spikers
Besides, neither IWAY nor farmer are derogatory, technically I could call balanced teams farmers as well...

JR - 6000 lol, I like this title set. Especially JR being the ultimate. Except that those people who create useless topics like Touch Ranger Nerf Plx and spam posts would get to the titles that imply actual knowledge of the game, when in fact, they're build bitches, scrubs and spammers. Meanwhile, those who occasionally post insightfully and masterfully would stay in the RA/nublet title range. Personally, I dislike titles gained through post count period, encourages spam. Meh, whatever.

Moved to site feedback forum. Also, don't bother posting titles with derogatory terms (scrub, noob, etc) because they obviously won't be chosen.

How about we just change everyone's title to "forum poster" because that's what they do?
