Guild Wars 2

I am happy to see that titles are more visible now. I like titles because they add flavor to our characters. I feel there are a lot of achievements that could be titles but are not at the moment, for example, slayer achievements. It would be pretty cool to run around being known as the “Bane of spiders” or “Greatsword Master” (but hopefully more creative and flavorful) something fun like that. It’d also make achievements more appealing to get. Will we be getting more title options and will we see past achievements getting title status?

Also, we should be able to optionally hide them but there’s another thread for that (for now, unchecking “show all player names” in options should help).

Seems like an easy thing to do and something that I was fairly surprised they didn’t have from the start with so many achievement bars to fill and how many they had by the end of GW1.

It will likely create title bloat where we have a pool of a couple dozen ‘gimme’ titles that don’t really mean much and a few that show actual work but it does add flavor to the game and that is never a bad thing.

The new WvW titles should be viewable by allies. I could care less
what my enemy sees.

You don’t like the idea of equipping a low-experience title like “WvW Newb” and humiliating the enemy?

I like the Survival and Master of Overkill. The latter would point out the ‘bunny killers’ straight away.

I would have to answer no, because the title means absolutely nothing as it
stands. All it shows is how long you have run with a zerg. Think abou it.

Now when titles are clearly visible, you can tell there’s too few of them. Everybody is walking around with the same titles. Lots of “Gods Walking Amongst Mere Mortals”, “Dungeon Masters” etc.
It seems like the most original thing to do is to turn it off. We definitely need more titles.

I would love to see more titles, especially for “mundane” things like the slayer achievements or weapon mastery. It would add more variety and flavor to the titles we see.

More titles would be cool and easy to implement.

More titles are an easy win and I support their expansion. However, having gone into WvW to view the zerg without culling, I believe the most important option around titles is the ability to turn off their default display. I believe they should always be visible when you choose to target a player so the accomplishment will still be visible, just not overwhelming and unasked for.

A few guildies and I were talking a couple weeks ago about how there should be a title for collecting all dyes on a character. We were naming off some title options like:

Live and Let Dye
Dye Another Day
Dye Hard

There were a few more I’m forgetting, but it was fun. I know slightly off topic, but this thread made me think of it.

Awesome!

Agree completely with the OP.

And nothing wrong with Bane of Spiders btw…a zerg of people with that title may be the only thing that will prevent the Elder Spiders coming through from the Mists…
