Change titles. Champion Magus sounds lame.
Titles in general should be changed and redesigned alot, not to mention being added alot to give people ncentives to max out alot of the achievements and gettign rewarded for maxing those achievements with a title, that shows what effort you’ve went through already in the game.
Currently most of all the titles come through PvP and WvW andboth ares are ridiculously designed with super high grind locks within the achievements to receive the titles and at the same time, alot of the titles sound as you say super lame and boring, absolutely not expressing the effort the player had to get them.
Example.
WvW
Ultimate this, Ultimate that, ultimate everywhere.
For SPvP you can just exchange Ultimate with Champion.

This is what I’d suggest to change:
Been here, done that > changed to “Wayfarer of Tyria”
Why? Because once we get Cantha ect. back, ANet has to split up that Title again for the Continents, so we would have 100% Map Completion for every Continent.
One who has completed then really 100% of the whole world, will be called “Seeker of Adventures”
Champion Slayer > renamed to “Devastator”
Champion Magus > renamed to “Sage of Elements”
Champion Paragon > renamed to “Keeper of Hope”
Champion Genius > renamed to “Creator of All Things”
Champion Shadow > renamed to “Hand of Death”
Champion Hunter > renamed to “Lord/Mistress of Beasts”
Champion Phantom > renamed to “Ruler of Souls”
Champion Illusionist > renamed to “Deceiver of Truth”
Champion Legionnaire > renamed to “Warlord of Eternal Battles”
Master Crafter > renamed to “Merchant”
Give the Title Grandmaster Crafter, once you’ve maxed all Crafting Jobs to 500
Golden > renamed to “Blessed with Fortune”
The Emperor > renamed to “Fashion King/Queen”
Combat Healer > renamed to “Life Saver”
Ultimate Dominator > renamed to “Lord/Mistress of the Mists”
Ultimate Chaperone > renamed to “Animal Lover”
Ultimate Aggressor > renamed to “Conqueror of Lands”
Ultimate Liberator > renamed to “Liberator of Stonemist Castle”
Ultimate Subjugator > renamed to “Tactical Genius”
Ultimate Vanquisher > renamed to “Heroic Legend”
Ultimate Stalwart > renamed to “Supply Manager"
Ultimate Sentinel > renamed to “Sentinel of Stonemist Castle”
Ultimate Protector > renamed to “The Strategist”
Ultimate Defender > renamed to “The Custodian"
Thats the way how I’d name the titles
Personally I like the idea behind sub classes ~ quoted from Chris Whiteside
I have to agree with the above poster, not necessarily saying the titles you suggest are the best possible alternatives, but in that style certainly it would be better.
If you look back to GW1 we had a lot of really interesting titles, the GW2 titles are all really stale >.>
I’d rather the Champ Ele Title be ‘Sorcerer/Sorceress’
or ‘Grand Wizard/Witch’
something like that. C:
I understand the desire to see a change in PvP and WvW titles
But I find that PvE titles are fine
Life doesn’t stop being funny just because the dead can’t laugh.
I agree with this suggestion. I used to love the names of the various bosses in GW1, and Diablo also had some of the greatest names for their boss monsters. Just adding champion in front of everything is a bit… dull.

I would be quiet happy if they just dropped the “Champion” part of the title. Feels like a lot of the titles are made out to be overly epic.
Same with WvW, you’re not a Conqueror, you’re an ULTIMATE CONQUEROR!!!
And the “champion” and “ultimate” parts are so empty, because there’s no regular version of the title. Having the “Champion Illusionist” title would mean more if there were regular “Illusionist” titles running around.
Rather than “combat healer” I’d prefer “Combat Medic”; healer just sounds silly to me.
Main point (Slightly off-topic): I’d like to see more PvE titles, and I’d like to see some PvE, WvW and PvP achievements turned into titles; for example, there is an achievement called just “Legionnaire” (200 match wins as warrior), but you don’t get “legionnaire” as a title.
PvE wise I want to see more achievements turning into titles; such as “Rifle master”, which should yield the title “Rifleman”, also I would like to see Biography based titles:

You stand to benefit more from making friends than making enemies.

I have to say I am in love with your title ideas/suggestions, especially these PvP ones. You can bet a tons of people will flock to PvP if the titles were those, I know I would be playing PvP more often to get those titles. Only one I am like eh about is the Warrior and the thief imo could be “Shadow of Death” instead seems more fitting.
