Guild Wars 2

I’m just curious is anyone even relatively close to achieving this title? I just hit 10,000 kills and I checked the wiki and it says 250k kills to get the title and at the rate I’m going it’ll be 5-10 years before I get that title. The spvp title is only 2k kills whats up with that? Anyways if you’d like to post your kills that’s cool too. But Anet! you really need to re-think that number 250k kills that’s the most insane number for a title considering what many of the other titles require.

Keep it the way it is.

If you ever see someone with that title. You should run.

I’m at 30k kills now and I’ve done WvW for several hours a day for months now. The quickest way to get kills is to play a class that can tag large numbers of opponents in large scale fights i.e. necro or ele.

I’ve never been a part of a big guild but I would imagine that those guys have been able to accumulate kills much quicker than I have since they can more easily participate in large scale fights.

GW3 will be out long before anyone achieves any of the WvW titles. I’m at 6.5k kills and I would say the last half year is above average because I played the game a LOT when it first came out, but even at this rate it will take me approximately 19 years to get the title.

I am sure Sacrx from Red Guard is close to hitting the 200k mark, if he hasn’t already.

Pretty sure there’s someone in [PRO] on FA that’s getting close to that title. Can’t remember who right now.

Go look at how GW1 titles work. This is working as intended.

Not really, most titles had some progression.

Pretty sure they will revamp these titles akin to the sPvP titles. Gladiator → Mercenery → Avenger etc.

The high numbers are not the problem (they are for some of the other WvW achievements tho! Yakslapper for example). We just need some reward for hitting the tiers.

I agree. These are working how (mostly PvP) GW1 titles worked. Look at Rank 12 Hero and gladiator (and I don’t believe anyone achieved max gladiator since they removed Team Arenas). They’re meant to be very prestigious and difficult to achieve. I don’t know about you but I like it that way.

But there were earlier ranks that you could achieve and display before that. Right now there is nothing before you get 250k kills in WvW and all the WvW titles are like that. The game is 5 months old and not one person that I know of has anything to show that they’ve been in WvW at all title wise.

I’m hoping it’s one of the progression changes that is coming next month.

I’m fairly sure someone has the title at this point.
Just a month ago I saw a few people claiming to have around 170,000 kills

Good point. Guess we do need some progression.

There should definitely be some sort of reward from WvW. Titles in their current state are just insulting considering you can faceroll “champion (class)” titles and whatnot.

Nearing 150k not seen or heard many EU with as much. i think next highest is cyril with 115k or so. Hopefully few months till ultimate dominator. 1565 hours played, which i know a lot of people have more. So its not as hard as made out you just need to wvw and kill alot.

Yeah I am around 1400 hrs with only ~13k kills if I remember rightly, I have a number of alts so I can blame it on that but the real issue is likely that I can’t say I take on 2 zergs with 12 of my guildies and come out victorious haha.

realm titles? camelot unchained (Daoc2) was just announced

Oh, I’m about 500 kills away from the 10k mark.

The WvWvW titles should have some progression. E.g.
- 1000 kills the 1st title, which you can display (realm avenger, basically a sign "I am not a total newbie)
- 10000 kills for the 2nd title (realm dominator, “a WWW veteran”)
- 100000 kills for the 3rd title (ultimate dominator, “enemies, run away”)

I am sure the 100000 kills title would still be rare. Currently the system is a bad joke compared to the pvp titles: 200 kills in tournaments gives you a champion slayer title and you get a gladiator title with mere 8500 pvp points.

If they do reduce the cap, and even if they keep the 250k one, I hope they keep the counter ticking after you’ve passed the title mark.

Basically to get high kills, play high tiers.

- you have nearly constant full zones so highest chance of meetnig opponents quickly
- majority of gameplay is done with turtling, so when enemies die they die 30 at once
- Turtle vs Turtle fights usually last a minute or two at longest, allowing you to move onto your next fight quicker.

Compare to fighting lower tiers
- Enemies are spread out even when zerging – so wiping the full zerg can take a very long time as you chase them down.
- Low numbers in each zone, if any at all
- Allies being more spread out means less people hitting each target, each target takes longer to kill.

Lastly, play a class with a decent range spammable AoE like an ele or even something like a Guardian using the staff autoattack, and just tag every person you can.

This needs a total overhaul. I am sure ANet are as embarrassed as we are frustrated by how out of touch the requirements are

To think you need to work for something if you can get this title it means something far more then getting commander only bad thing is the other teams cant see it.
