Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I was a major title hunter in GW1 and it is really what kept me hooked on the game. I played it on and off for five years and was still getting titles up to GW2 release!

Achievement points are really not the same as the cool title tracks in GW1 (legendary defender of ascalon, incorrigible ale hound, kind of a big deal, etc.). Right now the title choices are very odd – either very easy (achieved without actually trying for it – Guild Warrior, Combat Healer), in PvP, or extremely niche (all the minipets? thats just a money/gems title). The hobby dungeon one is the only one that seems worth doing. Going for gear is all well and good, but titles are something that set GW1 apart for me, I have no idea why it would abandoned, especially since they’re so easy to implement.

Some ideas I thought of:
- Title for completing a whole pane in the achievements section (like “slayer of all” for completing every slayer achievement or “weapon master” for the every weapon achievement, etc.)
- Title for discovering every possible recipe in a given crafting discipline (esp. fun for cooking)
- Title for unlocking every dye colour on a single character
- Title for finishing all the jump puzzles (how is this not one already?)

I would even be fine with each ‘tier’ of achievement points unlocking a title — like earning a title at 1000, 2000, 3000 achievement points and so on.

Some of the titles in GW1 were really hard to get and so they were just as much a badge of honour as elite gear. Please, please bring this amazing aspect back for PvE lovers like me!!!

Mistress/Master of Faceplantsu for dying on every jumping puzzle… :p

there is serious lack in PvE titles vs PvP titles so far. that is why there should be more of them offered. its also important to point that title displaying is not really visible as it was in GW. and this should be given a thought too.

I agree. I’m a lvl 52 Thief, and I honestly don’t think I have any titles at all…

There are hidden achievements, so how do you know that there aren’t plenty of titles and you just haven’t stumbled on any yet?

I actually think story titles would be nice, e.g.

Hero of Shaemor (or Racial title)
Warmaster (or Order title)
Commander (or something related to the pact)
Champion of Orr – I actually expected this one. “He DOES say, I GIVE YOU THE TITLE, CHAMPION OF ORR”
etc.

Other ideas:
Guild Loyalist – This would be rewarded for gaining over 25k influence for a single guild.
Master Trader – 100,000 items bought/sold on the trading post.
Environmentalist – Use 10,000 Environment Weapon skills.
Mystic – Use the mystic forge 1,000 times
Ferocious – Max out the Ferocity
Charming – Max out Charisma
Dignified – Max out Dignity
Master Salvager – 100,000 Salvages

All I can think of.

@ Nels — where did you get the info about hidden achievements? I would be so jazzed if that were true!! I did ask in another forum if anyone knew of hidden achievements before I posted this, but no one seemed to think there were any.
