How about barbarian titles based on offhand weapon skill, any thoughts?

I have a whole lot of other titles that I'm working on, none for offhand yet.

I like Southpaw a lot, what about simply Lefty?

I had a friend we called Lefty a long time ago. He was a great guy, great sense of humor.. missing his left arm.

Yeah.. I'm a bad bad man.

How about for everyone that isn't a barbarian has the "Wheat" or "Chaff" title under generic to go along with the barbarians getting Reaper.

I know!

We can steal all the other guild's titles and just put Barbaric in front of them all.

You see Barbaric Storm Maiden Caraamon, a male Gor'Tog Barbarian

Okay, I know shield doesn't count as highest armor when circling, my quesiton, does it count for highest armor for titles?

Just curious, as my shield is 20 lessons higher than any other armor skill.

Yes, I have a problem with the yoinked titles. I've been looking up to a lot of those barbarian-only titles for a long time with the starry-eyed belief that someday I'd get to use them. That pretty much just walked over a lot of hopes. I'd be perfectly willing to help brainstorm some replacement titles for warrior mages. This time, I do mind sharing.

Grrrr. Arcane Warlord.. Conqueror, Bully, Slayer? Does tacking on Arcane before it even make any sense?

Additionally, I would like to resuggest a title for Barbarians I put up quite a while ago.

CRY BABY

Knowledge of any Battle Cry

or

Take a survey about WM titles:

if score is right, you get the title.

It is intended to be a game, and while it never made sense for me to be able to bounce across the rainbow road or whatever it was called when I played Candyland, it never stopped me from doing it and enjoying the game.

It's okay, he played a warmie in prime so you knew he was no good anyway.

My complaint is that Arcane Bully doesn't even make sense. A bully that dabbles in the Arcane Secret Knowledge? The ONLY reason the title exists is because barbs have it.

>Constructive input is always good (and helpful for me), so please do post what titles cause you the most concern and why (if you are up to the why bit).

You mean other than being really tacky?
To give a real life example, it would be the same as if Homecoming Queen Rayje (the pretty and popular girl) goes to the Homecoming Dance with a date and takes along Fuquois (Rayje's ugly, unpopular friend) who are both wearing the exact same dress except Fuquoi's ugly butt has a fudge stain on her chest. Now Fuquoi chose this dress knowing full well that Queen Rayje had already bought and paid for the exact same dress in a pitiful attempt to leech off the lavish attention given to Queen Rayje and will likely end the way it always ends for the ugly friends of a Queen... passed out in the back of a pickup, semi-comatose and still licking the long gone remains of Hagen-Daaz ice cream, as her tongue slowly scrapes against the carton lid. Poor Fuquoi, she had a good personality too.
Lastly, since Fuquoi is not Queen of the Dance, she should be the one forced to change her dress...

Ok, so its kinda the same as going to an ex-friend's wedding and wearing a birght white dress and to show up the bride.

The dresses should make it perfectly clear.

>I'm just going to clarify that we are taking steps to address the title issue. Statements to the contrary are incorrect.

Thank you for looking after us, Iayn.

Ooh, better analogy. Insert the word "Toasted" in place of the word "Arcane" in the titles. They still sound crappy, but there is a reason:
Now that Subway Sandwiches, maker of Jared's sandwiches, give you the choice of a regular sandwich or a toasted sandwich and claims this option doubles the size of their menu, but you know damn well that their turkey sandwiches, made fresh and ready to eat, are the same damn turkey sandwiches whether you toast them or not. Say "no" to false advertising and "Toasted" Warlords.

For a system that started out so colorful, titles are becoming a washed out shade of grey.

The title Arcane Bully should be solely reserved for Ragran


Strangeguard Prayermaster

Yeah I think Wight nailed it...they're just throwing the word Arcane around as much as they throw around DarkShadowNight and MenacingDeathlordUberkiller titles. One person thinks that the word Arcane "sounds cool" without bothering to look up what it means and decides to throw it into 3 dozen titles that don't make any sense.

This post (including the signature) is in no way meant to offend anyone nor is it an attempt to troll or be "cute". Hopefully my opinions do not conflict with yours in any way.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

I'm not a barb or warmie, but I can see arguements both way. On the other hand, I can see a few titles being able to go more ways then two. Bully would be a good example for everyguild. (The req should be having thumped 5 people, lol.) While, I think some titles could be a little overlapped (I'd love to see a Nature/Forest Wizard title), I dont think it should be done how it was handled with the warmie guild. It really looks like they took existing titles and just slapped Arcane in front of it. Now if it was 1 or 2 titles, it might not have made a huge difference, but it seems like there was a lot of titles that had that happen. I think Wythor said he has 44 more titles that he is going to try to get approved really soon. This tells me that they arent hurting for title ideas, and probably shouldnt be trying to take other guilds' titles. Someone already stated this, and I agree completely, "Titles are a way to set apart the guilds as well as the players." Taking another guild's title and adding a word to it is a lot like everyone driving the same car with a different color, which doesnt really make anything special. I think people need to be driving different cars with different colors.

>What I told Iayn, I now tell you. I have an issue when it comes to stealing our titles that were ours before SBT. Any title after SBT I see no problem with sharing, given reason

Think how the Thieves feel.

>A friend added on to my comment and said make them have higher reqs for getting a shared Barb title.

As a War Mage, I'd have no problem with this.

>>Arcane does equal warrior mage elemental magic.
>>~Worrclan, Dwarf of the Realms-

Sorry, gonna have to disagree with ya, my friend. That no more makes arcane your domain than having green skin makes green Gor'Tog domain. Its a discriptor, adjective, etc. that happens to be on your spell preps. Depending on how the origional warmie coder wanted you could have ended up with "mind-bending" or "painful-looking" or any number of others, and you wouldn't own (so to speak) those either.

However, I still graciously will deign to allow you to make my that axe. :p
