Titles

Hello everyone!
You know, i sometimes really enjoy korean and chinese webnovels and there are some, where they mention a pretty unique titel-system.
In this system, you can obtain boni (stats, bonus exp, extra running speed etc) from obtaining and equipping titles. And... I just remembered that AION once had such a system and that was REALLY cool! Like the ", the Patient", where you had to run around ca. 3 different zones and function as a delivery agent. xD

What do you think of this? Would something like this fit into AoC?

Archeage had this for the Pirate faction titles.

People bitched about it.

I personally think it's a cool idea to get a VERY minor buff or status from a title. Gives alot of depth to the game.

I don't think you should get benefits from titles, it encourages elitism when doing content and you will already have that based on morphs and things.

Don't need someone being like "Oh you didn't earn that title for that .01% speed buff, you can't raid this dungeon har har."

But it would also empower people who want to run a very, VERY xD, specific build.

I would rather see titles as a cosmetic aspect of the game. I think gaining a small buff from a title would be interesting, but I think the system would just result in everyone one running around with the same title that gives them that little advantage to damage output.

Well I always ran around with my ", the Patient" title in AION
Gave me extra evasion ;D

All the boni where always really minuscule (like +4 evasion or +5 HP and MP regen), but it was always nice to have them ;D

Here are some more examples that i actually got, back in the day xD:

Tree Hugger - Accuracy +4
Top Expert - Evasion +6, Physical Def +10, Magic Resist +10
Straw For Brains - Parry +5
Mabanghtas Envoy - Physical Def +4, Block +8
Bottled Lightning - Movement Speed +8% (That was a real pain to get xD)
Animal Lover - Mana +20 (You had to avenge the pet pig of someone, leading to you eradication tons of kobolds and their cooks xD)
Arbolus Anointed - Speed +3%, Crit Strike +3, Magic Boost +8
Bloodsworn - HP +36, Physical Def +15, Block +12,

In Archeage there were bonuses for the majority of the titles not just pirate ones. I dont think any of them gave a huge advantage and although some gave a better buff than others the better ones were more difficult to get and required a certain amount of cost/effort to gain them especially the pirate titles that people moaned about. People like to complain about things.

Nagash, you are a walking skelleton... I am sorry but you have to prioritize and let the normal pope title go.

I think if they were to grant bonuses from titles and they were low key as Karthos mentioned and required specific quest to complete, as opposed to 'first', that wouldn't be bad. I don't think all titles should have bonuses attached though, unless titles will be limited.

I do think this will encourage everyone to seek out and obtain the titles though, so it would take away some originality to the very specific builds.

In general I am against pointless buffers. I could see a title being worn like a piece of armor though.

I think I've said this before somewhere, but I'd really like a title system representing something like BDO has. I really like collectibles in any game. Titles being a huge one for MMOs. Not sure about the extra bonuses though. I personally think it takes the freedom out of which title you want to display, as you'll always try to optimize your build.

Another option would be to separate the active effect and display title. In which case I wouldn't care if it had bonuses, as everybody has access to the same bonuses by putting in some extra effort.

Nah I don't think titles should have stats or boosts associated with them.

Azryil

I think titles work best as a method of bragging rights for completing a difficult achievement

sivanna

I’m all for titles but going to agree with others, no stats tied to them. I love titles from a RP stance and it’s fun to have that one title that makes your name perfect!

Altodor

Titles giving stats just doesnt make any sense to me. Like literal sense. A title giving stats. Unless it was a magical title that the gods blessed you with.
