Guild Wars 2

Disclaimer: this seemed like an obvious suggestion to me, but I used the search function and found nothing in this particular forum for “titles”

I would love to see a greater variety of PvE related player titles. I noticed that I kept seeing the same titles over and over (the most common, by far, being “Combat Healer” and “Been There, Done That”).

So I went to the wiki to look up all the titles, and noticed that the majority of them came from PvP and WvW. There are so few PvE titles!

I’m not asking you to lower the standard for earning titles. They should take a lot of time and effort to earn… that’s part of the prestige of having one. But there just aren’t enough.

One prime example that made me think of this suggestion in the first place: Jumping Puzzles.

There are a ton of JPs, and not only are some of them crazy hard to complete, some of them are hard to even find, especially since they are not officially marked (so you may not even know you are doing one until you get to the end).

I think completing all JPs should definitely earn you a title. Even if some people would just “cheat” and go online to look up their locations, completing them is still a challenge, and completing them all takes enough time that I believe a title reward is warranted.

But whether you bestow Puzzle Jumpers with a title or not, please add more variety to PvE titles in general.

Thanks!

On the one hand: Some counters with(out) achievement points but with new titles could be fun…even without title

Rezz: Like 50k “combat doctor”, 100k “friend of everything that moves”, 250k …. 1M+
or just the counter ’til it is close to overflow?! ^^

on the other hand: so many titles and not enough time/room to use all of them… dunno could be 15+ titles!?!

I did combat healer in my first week and I always expected another tier in the achievement. Sadly not, and it feels that bit more boring to revive NPC’s for one, it used to feel like I was reaching towards a goal but not since I finished the title.

I would love if achievements like Thirst Slayer would give humorous titles like Drunkard (GW throwback, too) and maybe All You Can Eat’s title would be Glutton.

There are lots of achievements that have good possibilities for titles.

Plus one for drunken!!!!! I’d go for that so fast!

More titles would be nice. Unless the original programmers really did something silly, I would think it would be relatively simple to add them. It’s not like they require new models or graphics.

I don’t know that they should be any easier to earn, but more options would be welcomed. I’d like to have more crafting related titles, especially since they are talking about increasing the top end on crafting levels.

Exactly! There are so many possibilities, both fun/silly, and for serious achievements.

To expand more on my original post – I believe that one of the fundamental strengths of GW2, as a game, is variety. There are just so many things to do, places to go, people to meet and/or kill, events and activities to participate in…

…and I really think Player Titles should reflect that variety. Currently, PvE Player Titles do not reflect that variety. You see the same handful of titles everywhere you go… like I already mentioned, basically everyone who has played the game for at least a month or two is a “Combat Healer” or has “Been There, Done That”, so you see those titles everywhere

Just look at how few PvE titles there are, compared to PvP and WvW:

And again, I’m not advocating that earning titles should be any easier. There are plenty of difficult achievements that already exist, but have no associated titles. You could easily start naming those.

People replying to this thread, I encourage you to point out achievements difficult enough to warrant a title, but which currently do not have one.
