New Titles: Charmed/Hapless

Well I suppose you are right. I guess the reason I'm disappointed is because I was going for Kind of a Big Deal, but I refuse to join all the afkers for these two titles. Seems like an easy way of getting it rather than actually accomplishing anything.

Great point!

I think one or two goofy titles are fine, drunkard and lucky/unlucky are fun but that is enough sillyness. I dont want my title tab junked up with meaningless titles in the long run.

Doesnt count for the KoaBD , its accounted based not charactor based.

True... About 2.2 million to max it. If they add a casino in permanently, it'd be slightly understandable. But the AFK time is a bit ridiculous.

At least with drinking, you can zone to accelerate it.

Well looks like it has tiers anyway so it might be more like the drunkard award, which is a good thing.

I don't see how charmed/hapless are any less worthwhile then any of the other grind-based titles. Ie: Chest-opening based titles, Item-Identifcation based titles. Charmed/hapless seem to be inline with the "grind standard" of most other titles, so in my view it doesn't make sense to bash them any more than it does to bash most other titles.

That said, it would be nice if the they added titles that actually took some skill to get, aside from the PVP ones.

Navaros: And Protector titles dont?

its easy, buy a few stacks of tickets, leave on overnight with char on center square, rinse and repeat. i did that last night only and got home around noon and already 3/4 of the way too lvl 1

These two new titles are basically here for one reason - a money sink. They're using them to lower the amount of money in the economy, perhaps they didn't predict this much money being out, whatever.

Oh. Then I have no objections to these new titles, they are just a bit of fun...

The Charmed/Hapless titles have 5 levels, and I'm not sure how the math works out but I would guess that if you're looking for max in them you're spending WELL over what the other grind-based titles cost.

I don't think it matters. Nobody specified one over the other in Wiki, and when I look at my H dialog it shows 4/5 and just says 5 titles have to be maxed. I think KoaBD can be had with character OR account titles, in order to allow for PvP players to have a chance (which are all account-based titles).

Even on Wiki, the Kind of a Big Deal is separated from Account-base and Character-based titles, more like a third category since it probably applies to both.

I don't have any account-based ones maxed yet as they take a while.

The best way to find out of course is to have someone with an account-based title maxed (a PvP'er I imagine) post whether it updated his KoaBD title or not. If so, then these titles should count as well.

confermation for tiers for charmed lucky title, i get dibs on first reported snagging here,

if you want to go as far as proving its me, add my monks name to friendlist and you will see me online in my war, i can even meet people to prove it.

ummm prove what? lmao who cares?

Why are people complaining about this harmless silly title? So what if it rewards you for basically doing nothing? It doesnt unbalance the game and EVERYONE knows that it's just for laughs. Well...almost everyone knows that....

It frustrated me when ANet puts in an unobtainable title in the game. the max level for Unlucky will take a minimum of 1,608 hours, which is over 67 days of constant gameplay. This also assumes they lose every single game, so it will be even more than that. If ANet continues to do these carnivals, assumign each event is 5 days long... it will take people well over 13 events to even come close to getting the title. This also means that they can spend no time enjoying the rest of the festival seeing as they have to idle on one spot for the entire duration of the festival.

I love the title, don't get me wrong, that's why my character is sitting around doing absolutely nothing for the next x hours. I will only get the first tier though, because those max levels are absurd and unobtainable. I just wish they had a more realistic max level.

Actually I was referring to the people complaining about how the titles are pointless because people arent really "accomplishing" them since they can just go afk.

Heck, all titles are pretty much pointless...which is how they should be. But I still love them.

ya sure.. like the tactical skills required for the so subtle Drinking title, which can be maxed...duh

BTW: (sry if someone mentionned that already .. )

who said that all further CHANCE GAMES in other events will work just like this one ?
what if u gotta play the dumb games ?
