Guild Wars 2

What if we can get such a feature that will track the time spend playing WvW or certain server and reward us a “server title” (e.g. “Vabbi Hound”).

The idea is simple – you gather up points while playing wvw on one server and your points decrease if you transfer away and you’re not able to gain more points toward gaining points for your new server till you loose all points from your previous server.

I call them ‘honor points’ (pride points).

There could be a variety of titles depending on your points you have accumulated – which will be tied to a title progression. (example: tier 1 – Vabbi Hound for 1000 points and tier 2 Vabbi Scout for 5000 points)

Achievement with progression to boost a bit the server pride and a way to show off your loyalty to your server you love.

what do you think and what titles you would like to have to show off ?

Could be interesting. Would promote playtime around the board, but discourage people to transfer to lower tier servers that are already dead to help out.

Perhaps if you transfer to a higher tier server, you lose more “reputation?”

In WoW, if you left a guild- you would retain their rep as long as you didn’t join another, if you joined another you’d lose a level of rep, that’d be an interesting mechanic, I personally don’t think there is an insane amount of titles in the game anyways.

There are over 100 titles in gw2. At least 17titles you can achieve in WvW only.

And there is 260+ in WoW.

I don’t get it, was that your “argument” as to why they shouldn’t be added? not that I completely agree with the OP, this post just doesn’t really contribute anything.

That would be awesome!

WvW titles sure a few more never hurt but discouraging players from transferring servers is a REALLY REALLY bad thing right now we need all the transfers we can get

It’s the opposite – the idea is made to encourage balancing wvw server population by giving a unique reward (a server title) even to underdog servers.

I mean everyone can have SFR or Desolation title…but who can have Vabbi titles ?

I gave examples with Vabbi because they will be the most challenging once and they will require you to go out of your comfortable zone and move to the no mans land.

It will give a reason (even a small one) to all the people who left their servers and moved to another to go back – and fight for their home once again.

I think that ultimate dominator is only tittle that you can achieve or is anybody even close any other tittle?

How many of them are reasonable if you dont take the silly no effort ones from season in account? 1-2?

so what your saying is make long term dedicated players who are looking for the challenge of being on a weaker WvW server have an extra bar telling them they shouldnt leave? You fail to realize this is a double edged sword it reduces transfers out of low pop servers yes but it also reduces transfers into low pop servers. Honestly i think you just want another title in your pocket

You’re very mistaken.

If you’ve just checked my forum signature you would know that I’m someone who cares for WvW’s well being and try to improve it in ways that wont harm the game or the economy.

The idea is to give just a reason to stick to 1 server rather than being mindless band-wagoner lured by season rewards and karma trains on over-stacked servers.

You’re forgetting that not everyone is interested in Vabbi Titles :> I know people who was in Desolation,Elona or SFR since the beginning of this game and never left and they will like their loyalty to this server rewarded. (we’re talking about more than 2 years!) and same goes for low tier servers like Vabbi,ROF,FoW etc.. as well as people from AG,Piken,GH.

The idea is go give titles because i see them as only thing that don’t do any hard as reward messing with economy or the game itself while adding a reasonable reward for those the accomplish the goal.

No interest in some ‘title’ for showing up, and which discourages you from moving to another server. Your title could mean i leave SFR and join Vabbi after 5000 hours, and for the next 5000 hours it shows …nothing.

Wvw doesn’t need more titles, it needs the existing ones to be made sensible and for some work to be done on the rest of the game mode.

But now you have brought it up, I expect in six months we’ll see ‘huge changes coming to wvw- server titles’ being hailed as the biggest change to hit wvw in forever and a mighty effort by the devs….

Coming soon to a gem store near you!

Now for just 2000 gems !

So your idea is to reward people for being loyal to their original server but then punish those thinking about transfering to lower pop servers to help balance out wvw pop balance issues. Sounds like self gravitas to me.

I do not understand your point about discouraging or punishing at all – you get titles no matter what server you are – it’s your choice (for once its your choice).

1.If you move to another server you get the titles for your new server.
2.If you stay you get your titles for your current server.

Basically its – Win-Win situation.

I really do not understand why you complain for getting rewarded just for playing the game – the idea is rewarding and positive.

Server titles is a nice idea. I would like to sport my FSP title, though I would tweak it a bit.

First, lets not speak of “honor points” to avoid a negative connotation with server transfers. There can be good reasons to transfer such as playing with friends, trying out other tiers, etc. Secondly, link it to doing stuff in WvW, like capuring keeps, towers, etc. Obviously no EOTM achievements. Make it tiered, and let people keep the rank they have reached so that they retain their heritage.

And about the titles: there are only a few WvW titles that are attainable by normal players. “Ultimate Dominator” may be attainable by a few, but titles like “Yakslapper” are next to impossible. Only the seasonal titles are/were achieveable, and they are the opposite, requiring almost no effort.

I like to show the “Veteran of the Mists” title, as a lot of others do, but a little bit more choice would not be too much.

What you say is just to make current titles (which are bound to “doing stuff like taking towers, keeps etc..”) easier to obtain just using other words.

My idea is to give people reason to have server pride and a title system with progression – where you get variety of your title each tier – rather than no title after almost 3 years playing mostly WvW.

A system that will reward people for not server hoping every season just to have guaranteed max rewards.

A system that will reward people who stayed behind and finally acknowledge their efforts for 1 and 1 server only.

A system that can be expanded in future to reward Scouts and Doly Escorts as well as all Defenders and Roamers.

Will it also reward the person with a razer mmo keyboard with a 5 button macro to keep ones self from afking out of wvw and the game?

The system wont be about how much you stay doing nothing in WvW.

It will be about since when you’re in this server’s wvw doing stuff – needless to say that it will be connected to bunch of other achievements that are linked to stuff normal wvw players do daily to progress towards the title achievement.

( Sorry macro users :< )
