So I've had this idea for a while now but only ever talked about it with club members. I figured it was about time I see what other players besides my club members and friends tell me what they think. I'll be editing this post as I come up with more ideas for titles and make minor additions or tweaks to be addressed in the FAQ section.
FAQ
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________________
Here's a small and simple FAQ for a list of some loaded question anyone might have.
1) How does it work?
A: Well it's simple. Get Final Tier Badges or Achievements and unlock Titles.
2) What exactly do I mean by Titles?
A: It's just as implied, Titles that can be unlocked and displayed under the name of your character or as a prefix/suffix displaying your prowess in a field.
3) Why add Titles when we have Leaderboards/Colored Names?
A: I thought it would be a cool idea to give EVERYONE a chance to earn something they can permanently have as a safe-keep rather than something they would have to continually work towards in order to maintain. Plus there are some Badges that really do deserve them in my opinion and would make a great addition when it comes to bragging rights or just simply showing off your achievements. And like I said, this will give EVERYONE a chance to get something to show off instead of limiting it to only 2,000 players like Leaderboards.
4) Are Badges the ONLY way to get more Titles?
A: Not necessarily, It could also be something given as a Mastery Milestone, hitting level 30 on a class, or just unlocking something like dragons for example.
5) Would Titles also be included into Leaderboards?
A: It wouldn't be any different from adding more Colored Names really, but if that's what players want, then I don't see a reason not to add them in there as well. Only these would be temporary rather than permanent.
6) Wouldn't the addition of Titles, long or small be too obnoxious to put on display, especially in something like the chat?
A: I suppose it would indeed be a problem if the chat was being taken up simply because someone's name/title was too long. But there could be ways around this. A good example is a checkbox that allows you to only display your own Title in chat or no Titles in chat at all. Likewise, options already exist to hide the names/sigils of other players, not just yourself and it's not like your PR/Mastery is shown in the chat at all and the Club Tag only shows in Club chat. The devs could probably just as easily implement a separate system for Titles if they wanted to.
