Guild Wars 2

Since it doesnt count for Emissary and it was SO HARD to archieve!
You should give us a Title at least for completing it! (like Combat Healer and so on)

Devs any chance you will do this?

Omg, funny… I just beat this thing again for like the 20th time and I was coming here to make the same topic right this second and seen this on top.

Agreed! Give us a title for doing the clock tower achievement since it seems to be “so hard”. Everyone and there mothers will have Emissary of the Mad King, give us people who spent the time learning this thing a title!

The title should be “foul mouth” :P

Quick to Jump Demanding… you now have your title.

I did it for fun and honestly dont think jumping once should give a title , lets make 100 completions . then ok , i think we deserve a title.

I’ll be honest. I haven’t been able to complete the clock tower and I agree. It’s hard as crap and we only have a limited time to complete it (as opposed to other difficult jumping puzzles that are a permanent fixture in Tyria). And especially because it doesn’t count towards Emissary.

Would be nice. And make title’s show up more while they’re at it ^^

It was a hard jumping puzzle. Some people spent 10+ straight hours doing just that to complete it, that’s A LOT of time spent just doing one jump puzzle and I think it should be rewarded with a title. A title is not game changing, it’s not going to hurt anything. I’m guessing you did not complete it or gave up and don’t want others to display something they worked hard for? Maybe you did, just an presumption.

The title should be, “I survived Norns and Charrs”.

Atm i completed the CT 46 times(which includes on 8 chars , and at least once of each race) , yeah i counted cause i want to make a post on guild site at the end of the event. It even took me a while to confirm what the bell on the top says , but i also did that.

I saw tons of people farming the place , while very few were actually doing it for fun , dont think there should be a title , but hey , if many people think they deserve one, i can always use one more title myself.

I want a title too…The Mad King :p

And there should be a special one just for charr. Bless your hearts.

I ended up finishing it up on all my characters last night (8 total) and did my charr last. I did it on the first or second try on the last 3 or 4 except for my charr, which took like 10-12. I busted my face on that stupid beam after the little white block like 6 times before I finally got the hang of it and then the first couple of times, shorted the jump to the last set of stairs.

And that’s with everyone being nice, I can’t imagine what it was like doing it with people raging at me for having the gall to not make a human.

This would be fantastic. Took me ages to do it at first but I could do it every time now.

@Nox: its waaaaaaaaaay more easier to get 1000 people rezzed, which gives already a title, than completing this tower, so i think we deserve it even on 1 completion

Well I was just thinking… and the reason I thought there should be one for this is because of it’s difficulty. I mean come on, you get a title for running around Lions Arch mindlessly mashing “Use Key” on pumpkins, but not for something that is hard and takes a lot of time and dedication for most people to finish and not give up. I spent three hours myself before I got it the first time and I seen a lot of people give up and leave.

It took three hours, dedication, and maybe my neighbors thinking I have Tourette’s syndrome, but I did it!

I Second that.
or “Keyboard Killer”

the Norn/Charr attacks…. LEARN to tune out everyone else in the beginning.
i’ve done it on my Asura and Human alts with born/charr hiding me… it doesn’t effect the puzzle. And besides after that first choke point, most people fall.
Quit looking at everyone else. the puzzle is all you need to watch.

granted when someone puts a wall of text up right at that first choke point… all bets are off. lol
(That is more annoying and in the way than ANY Norn/Charr ever could be)

I found it easier on my Charr characters. In fact I farm it with my Charr :P

When people were yelling at me, offering me money to not run… I made a bet with them.
I would intentionally fail the puzzle by not even moving when it started… And I bet that they would STILL fail the puzzle.

everyone failed without a single Charr “in their way”…
did it for 3 runs, nobody beat it. then I went back to farming it as usual.

The title should be, “Mad Hopper”, that’d be cool.

^ or “Hopping Mad” as a prefix.

“Mad Jumper” would also be a fitting title for those who have beaten the Mad King’s clock tower.

I dont see a reason to have it.

I just want a similar jump puzzle for forever… that’s all i want. I can see it now. An asuran lab with rising lava. I want to have the clocktower for forever… T___T Overly attached I am to it.

At this point it wouldn’t be fair to add that achievement. There are only a few days left and for many players an achievement is a strong incentive to complete things. So the players who just gave up because there wasn’t one attached to this jumping puzzle and chose to do something else instead, might not have the time anymore to obtain it anymore.
If there was an achievement from the start, then it would’ve been fair.

yes thats true, but you get even a title for PUMPCIN CARVING!! which is not in the Emissary, so it would be only logical to give us a kitten title for completing this horror!

And it would be like a nice gift even if it was not announced before, thats what surprises are for!

Did it my first time with 3 giant Norn and 2 giant Charr… these idiots that make the giant characters generally aren’t that great at all and fall off early in the puzzle. If you’re quick on your feet you can pull ahead of everyone else after the choke and have not one problem.

FYI I was a small female sylvari on my clear.

There should definately be a title.

Make it 100 completions. I want it.

What in the living hell are you talking about boy. There has always been an achievement for the clock tower it’s called… Mad King’s Clock Tower – Worth 10 points. I don’t understand what you are getting at here?

I’d do this in a heartbeat.

I think its easy to determine he meant to say Title not Achievement. There are alot of achievements I’ll be skipping because they have no title.

I think a title for completing X amount of times would be good ..1 completion is easy. 100 ..that would take a while since even those of us who can do it relativly easily now, would fail every now and then.

What would the title be ..dunno tbh ..somthing that indicate that we dont WHINE LIKE CRAZY! when somthing that even hints at being hard comes along

Like it or not the clock tower HAD a reward – Mad King Slippers (an exotic).

You got an item rather then a title for all your hard work (or for some their 1-2 attempts). To be fair and honest its probably a more USEFUL reward then yet another title that probably won’t be seen by anyone due to their current nature.

That left:
Carving 100 Pumpkins awarded you Master Carver title.
Doing everything else gave you the Emissary Title.

So all in all you already got TWO titles from Halloween anyway.

As it stands, currently there is no title for completing any, all or even X amounts of jumping puzzles in the entire game. I’d rather see something implemented here where you earn it for doing a COLLECTION of jumping puzzles then a single one.

I think it’s a sad day for gamers when players insist a game can only offer rewards for an in-game accomplishment so long as those rewards have been clearly laid out in advance first. That developers shouldn’t ever surprise players with a reward (like a title) after the fact. That we think it isn’t “fair” to be rewarded without warning.. because, clearly, if we had known rewards were involved we might have put forth a little more effort so as to not miss out on them.

That’s just ridiculous.

Sometimes you just do something beyond the norm, someone takes notice, and a pleasant surprise is the result. It happens in real life and there’s no reason it can’t happen in a game. Players need to stop being lazy and stop demanding rewards before they commit to springing into action.
