Something a lot of us work hard to get in mmo’s are title’s, they make you feel proud about something you have achieved and let’s you share that achievement with others.
Now, Guild Wars 2 does have titles implemented and for things such as PvP there are a huge amount of title’s that you can earn in game. However, these titles are extremely hard to spot and when asking my guild what they thought of this matter some didn’t even know that titles existed.
The method behind my madness is that if Arena Net spend the time and effort to implement achievements that award a title, i think the titles should be noticeable to other players. Currently, the title’s reside under a players health bar if you have them targeted.
I would personally prefer prefix’s or suffix’s that appeared in the name itself. Such as ‘Dragon Slayer Kaeyi’ or ‘Kaeyi the Risen’. Something of this nature would be much more appealing and encourage players to get those achievements all in all creating a lot more content for players who were otherwise oblivious to the goals they could complete.
Simply adding more noticeable titles would add a wealth of interest into these specific tasks keeping players busy for great amount of time. I know that if i could get a title such as ‘Kaeyi the Dragon Slayer’ by killing every dragon in game, i would certainly go for that achievement.
What do you all think? Does this go against Arena Net’s design ethic or do you think it would improve the game and provide more things to do in Tyria?
