New Titles have 5 Tiers Read If You Want To Save Money

u are not supposed to get it, u are supposed to try ... and spent cash

(and also were probably not supposed to know about the tiers that fast :/ )

u really think that Anet d give u a maxed title JUST by standing afkd for 5 days ??? ^^

i m still extremely amazed that i got maxed Survivors
i thought there were a 2mil and 5mil tier ^^

Relax.. Breathe... This is a game! Just a game!

How many titles could you max yesterday? How many title can you max today? Same as yesterday. No less. So no ned to cry because ANET offered to us two new titles as a joke. The new titles are about luck. There is no new title about whinning.

Thank you ANET for those 2 new titles.

confermation for tiers, got charmed title just now

woot, first reported person to get the title on forums

i posted a screenie on the other topic, and theres that guy that seems he wants to dispute who gets dibs....

Screenshot? And anme of next level?

Gold Sink, where ?????
Just stand in the first place of the second row, or last place of the second row. You know where I mean. You won't loose tickets. Me and my guildies are doing this already for 10+ hours and neither of us lost tickets so far..

I got Charmed 10 minutes ago, here are SS to prove it:





Woot for being first person to prove that they have the title!

Is it my PC or are the links not working ? Make attachments

Congrats Loki

If that were the case, then it would imply that the circles have an unequally likely chance of being picked, given that your expected value over time is a loss of tickets for a completely fair game....

Dragon Festival is an annual event.

Guys go read the scribe.... Its states it right there.

Cantha Prepares for Annual Dragon Festival

Across the lands of Cantha, citizens prepare for the annual Dragon Festival. Merchants fill their storerooms with rice wine and red bean cakes, while townsfolk assemble the games and activities that commemorate the historic events following the Jade Wind. Decorations have already been spotted in Shing Jea Monastery and Kaineng Center.

Conceived by Emperor Hanjai following his father's assassination at the hands of the betrayer Shiro Tagachi, the Dragon Festival is meant to memorialize the survival of the Empire of the Dragon following the Jade Wind. This year holds special significance in light of the new danger threatening our empire. More so than ever, it is important to show the residents of Cantha that their empire can and will survive even the most catastrophic of tragedies.

Residents are already booking passage to Shing Jea Monastery in preparation for the festival. Those allied with the Luxons or Kurzicks will be able to celebrate together without conflict—due, in part, to their united pride in their homeland's survival, as well as the strict "no combat " law the emperor's guards enforce within Canthan towns.

Residents of Tyria should prepare to travel to Cantha, as this is surely an event that will go down in history. There will be games, prizes, food, wine, and plenty of dancing to keep the celebration going for days. At the festival's finale, there is a surprise that no one will want to miss! And while the celebration will last for five days, the special event collector will remain behind for an additional week, allowing celebrants plenty of time to turn in their Jade Wind Orbs for a special Dragon Mask. Plan to be in Shing Jea Monastery for the Dragon Festival, which begins very soon!

That could also just be someone using speech to mimic a real-life Cantha, where the festival actually does occur every year.

i posted a screenie in the main titles topic, and this guy still posted after me, i get dibs =p

sure, annual stuff... gz to the lonely guy that ll get the maxed title just before the last server gets closed

(just imagining an old 60 years old Anet employee in a dusty office, yelling "hurry, u silly boy, 500 to go and i can close at last " )

Well in general I don't even like titles, hardly if ever notice them on anyone else, but I am for information being up front. But do you still not find the 'charmed' title charming? /shrug.

Survivor - yeah I realized I couldnt get it on my original characters, but I suppose that makes sense. But there's an example where hey I might get the first one just for a little hardcore play, but do I need #2, #3? Eh. That could get mind-numbling boring. Like standing afk on a ticket/game of chance platform indefinately or drinking booze for HOURS.

But just because I focus on game mechanics over titles doesnt make it less important to others (even tho others may not get the importance of storage and character slots to me) and I agree, not only to lack of information but another country's site.

But they've done the same things with us about Factions information (think a Korean site got more details while we were still in the dark about some of the mission types), storage (this material tab is throwing us a bone but no real progess), trade improvements (from last gaile log it seems it hasn't even started), how many character slots we'd get on linking for quite awhile... it's not like this is something new for them to do.

I suppose I already gave up on titles with skills/elites - similiar thing. I went skill crazy with my ele - all elemental, all mesmer, and a LOT from 2ndaries but those that made sense, regular and elite. Am I close to even the first tier title? Nope - I'd need to cap almost (if not) every skill to get the 1st title, and I can't get the second. That taught me an important lesson - not to bother. If something sounds like a possibly interesting challenge/diversion (ie mapping %, survivor), maybe. But if it sounds like nothing but a waste of time and/or money (drinking, gambling, etc) I pass.

If I saw someone with maxed gambling should I be impressed, or more to the point - 'wow, you can really leave your PC and internet going and go AFK for long periods of time and stand on a platform as things happen - go you'? That's where I found this whole thing a let down, I thought titles were going to demonstrate some pve/pvp prowress. Instead I dont see much at all interesting or well-crafted challenges for pve, pvp is more eliteist and used to exclude (and as a comparably casual player not particularly achievable or desirable IMO where early ranks don't get anything), treasure hunters and wisdom seekers reward farmers/chest runners... shrug.

I guess in the end instead of playing with titles I'd rather see them improve a bunch of stuff that effects gameplay/enjoyment of the game first.

Titles in general IMO? No big deal.
But I understand for some it's Kind of a Big Deal.
So I feel your pain. But it's the same way everything else is treated, not just titles.

edit - lmao screenshot arguments, who first, ok for some I guess it really is a big deal :b

He may of posted after you but you had to edit an old post to add the SS.

loki had a SS edited and posted by 3:03.

you had yours edited and posted by 3:07.

loki was the first with a SS up, but congrats to both of you.

heres my snippit screenie,dont argue with me about proof. i can prove it easly. messing with large screenies isnt somethin i wish to deal with, just pm me or add my monks name here to the freinds list, and Loki, please give credit where its due

if we want to go into a detialed arguement about credit...then we could i suppsoe, but most ways of figuring times as to title aquirement and such, just saying that i didnt get my screenie up at the time is a bit cheap, i got a post in and a screenie made up and posted also, my comps pic software slowed me up a bit, which i guess i cannot prove

So where are those math wizards again? I'm kind of curious how many tickets/hours/dollas this would take to accomplish. Perhaps this area will stay after the event is over with...I don't think A.net would be so cruel as to create titles like this for 1/5 the time they are required to max out. I mean that's just evil. I've had my share of rants on the company, but hey...show a little faith .

Survivor is a bit different to me ... it's not that long and doable (and free !! )
it's a quite new challenge, hardcore play like u just said...

but if u start it u wanna max it ... i dont get why some ppl are getting the first (really easy) one .. and then "let their char just die"

i even rerolled a 800k expd char to get it last week ^^especially because i didnt fail, just because of bugged movement, got stuck and laggy, monsters suddenly popped from nowhere.. blablablah u know the end ^^

i play titles like most ppl do, my main char doing all the explorer/bonus etc stuff and just having one nice title on secondary chars ...

Here's a thought... at the end of the event, don't log out? Maybe then you can stay and max the title.

Will get lonely, but hey...

yeah.. til u got James Bond-ed outta the place

007 always wins ^^

Quick clarification: Everyone can hit tier 3 of skills. I'm at Adept Skill Hunter, and there's quite a few I haven't gotten yet on her. The fact that it doesn't max out at tier 3 is everyone's bone of contention.

I've never worked with the time estimates, but the cost in tickets for 2.5 mil is about 2 and a quarter million gold. You'll need about 150,000 actual tickets, or about 600 (250 amount) stacks of them <_<

Why i like to go for Titles? EASY!

GW is kinda boring lately, so i try to accomplish something, like a title, cus it pays off, u can drag it under ur name, something NEW! huraah!

as i see there isnt THAT much new in the game other than a few MINOR updates, i try to update myself!

you double posted omg ban yourself oh and maybe a-net is going to keep these stupid little circle games after the festival to reward us for wasting our time and money on tickets

I think some of you are taking this too seriously. If they closed off some of these titles such as the skill hunter and then added more elite skills you wouldn't really be deserving of the title had you not capped them yet had it max now would you? :P

toasty up there acts in a way that makes me considor calling him a idiot, but i bet thats against the rules.

so im going to say please keep noobspeak to yourself and be considorate of others

I think you are confusing his point. There should be an indication on what levels there are to avoid having to spend so much time to think you are maxing a title only to find out there are many more tiers.

What you are talking about is the best way to achieve the titles. I think that is not necessary to have on the official site and good for us to figure out.

What I would like to see is that instead of these really lofty heights to get a single title maxed out, have smaller tiers, and have kind of a big deal be multi layered.

I have been working hard on getting the treasure hunter and seeker of wisdom titles only to find out that I have to id in the area of 10000 gold items to get it?? Opening chest is too high as well, especially since if you find a spot where you can get a reliable set of chests to appear, they become nerfed or become subject to farming code.

I would rather have it cap at 500 or 1000 (which is still an awful lot) and then "kind of a big deal" could be tierd to "A Big Deal", "A Huge Deal" then "I spend too much time on this game", etc.

Titles should have at least the semblance to actually being achievable without spending ludicrous amounts of time to achieve a maxed level. Casual players should have a chance at earning maxed out levels.

Sorry went off on a bit of a tirade on the whole title system.

i made a thread about that .. looks like everyone agree the fair suggestion of counting it as maxed til the new chapter release .. at that time, it d be "lost" when new elites are added or if u dont buy the chapter ...

titles are supposed to be a challenge and a reward for those completing em ..

one might say " i completed it, took me time, patience and cash, i want my reward"

well, time to get 138888.888 (but due to anets belief in "whole numbers" i guess im bound to 138889) tickets and go for tier 5... oh wait I DONT HAVE 556 ITEM SLOTS! storage update plz

I definitely don't agree with that. You can't take a maxed title away from someone just because a new Chapter gets released - that would be ludicrous and rightfully make the player being stripped of his title mighty angry.

Rather what they should do is either let everyone max the title now and have that be the new lower standard for maxing.

Or apply a different standard for those who work on the title after enough chapters to max it are released, and let those who already maxed under the current standard keep it under that standard (new standard released with new Chapter would not be applied to their already-maxed titles).

For a game supposed to be about skill, they sure seem to like adding titles based off of nothing but grinding and/or having lots of gold. Which is also often attained by grinding.

Kind Of A Big Grinder.

u know that people who want that title will cap all those elites again asap so what ? u ll loose the maxed out status for 3 days or so ^^

If you leave your computer on, on the corner square of one of the 9 tile games for the constant 5 days of the event, it would still take 5 + Years, assuming the event is yearly.

I mean i didnt think the title would max at 50k / 5k. But Damn, 2.5M? i mean 250k would of been decent, i could of got that this time around probably, 500k.. well atleast i could say id afk it next time theres this event and get it finished, but theres no way anyones maxing these titles, Just kinda disapointed, in the new titles anyway.

Because maybe they don't want to buy the particular new Chapter, and if not they should not be penalized for that. And the title descriptions do not list "We will strip this title from you later!" therefore it would be unfair and completely morally wrong to shaft players like that.

Plus once they do it for "elite skills" then it would create a slippery slope where they start doing it with everything else too. Kind of a Big Deal grind/timesink is already ludicrous enough without having to worry about having maxed titles be stripped from you.

Am I the only one who thinks that the highest tier (translated as Lucky Star Ascendant on wiki) of lucky *actually* describes that one is actually really lucky as it is near impossible for people to obtain it in 5 days? Same with the unlucky one. I think you have to be really really lucky (or unlucky) to get the highest tier.

I think they will have other random games...

do the math then

how much time will it take IF u are 100% lucky and get 55 tix each time ?

if u manage to get that during next week, yer title might be "Fu**ing Lucky Star"

what? its not tooooo improbable to hit the 1 in 9 chance 45454.545 (or 45455) times in a row...

compete garbage.

using that reasoning somebody gets chapter 5 and gets all skills for that chapter alone.

should they have the same title as someone who worked for all skills in the entire game?

I TOOK THE WORLD RECORD IN RUNNING THE MILE IN 5 MINUTES FLAT IN 1899 AND I SHOULD KEEP IT

IT NOT FAIR THAT MY NAME ISNT THE RECORD HOLDER JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE TOOK A MINUTE OFF OF MY RECORD

Wow 5 tiers is a little crazy. Hopefully, that's Anet's promise of a full casino district in the future. I'll be happy with just getting the first tier of the title for now. I like to see them incorporate the unid. item trade into a form a gambling. It used to be fun buying unid. weapons before I learned people could easily scam me. I'm just happy GW has some gambling now. Great way to waste time and meet people.
