ArenaNet Staff Ben Phongluangtham.1065 Posted April 9, 2019 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted April 9, 2019 Hey folks! After the recent vote we had, and looking through the suggestions, we've decided to go with the nobility theme, but replace "of PvP" with "of the Arena." 1st: God/Goddess of the Arena 2nd: Demigod/Demigoddess of the Arena 3rd: King/Queen of the Arena 4th-10th: Prince/Princess of the Arena 11th–25th: Duke/Duchess of the Arena 26th-100th: Baron/Baroness of the Arena 101st–250th: Knight/Dame of the Arena The current plan is to have this in place for season 17. If you earned the current titles, they will not go away. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenixXx.9105 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I'm guessing the titles will stay for later seasons or are there any plans for minor changes along the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No current plans to change them again for later seasons, but it's always possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexanima.7851 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Need to add the title of "Serf of the Arena" for the absolute lowest ranked person, that way I get a title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor.3720 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 @"Ben Phongluangtham.1065" Will there be any incentive to get a title more than once? Or at least will such an incentive be introduced in the future? I like the new titles but a pre-existing issue is that once you've achieved a certain rank and got the associated title there isn't any particular reason to push for that rank again.

sarkysek.1085 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Thanks for the heads-up, Ben! New titles sound pretty cool, will definitely try to get at least top 100 next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortrialus.3062 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I'm glad you went with "Nobility of the Arena'. That was my favorite option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something we talk about from time to time. 1st place has a good motivator to try to get it again as you can prevent others from getting it. Which has some value to some types of players. We have some ideas of other things we can do. However, I think it's going to be quite a while before we have time to put more thought into it.

LolLookAtMyAP.8394 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 What about Cheater of the Arena for people who used wintrading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggityzog.7389 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Eh not into something that will just be hard to get due to duo wintrading. Wintrade wars season 13 wont be worth much again. Least when it was team if I went in solo (most of the time) I didnt have to worry about someone on my team throwing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yanniell.1236 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 If you duo queued and got in the title range, all the titles (1 to 250) should be Couple of the Arena for both the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it work like exponents... if you have gotten top 250 twice... x2 next to title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mes.4607 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Both happy & sad about new titles. Happy, because I like the theme. Sad, because now I have to grind for top titles again. Hopefully I can escape the MMR demons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meowmeow.9125 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 What are these miserable supplements "... of the Arena"? Okay, leave the medieval titles aside, it's smth already, but there are easy ways to make titles not just distinctive for just PvP but at the same time make them enjoyable and so being kind of worthy for the efforts. I think most of players in top-250 are for quite a while playing in the same leagues and wont improve or regress much so just after one season with your system these new titles will become out of dated. Not telling they are just dull and not worthing it now. Even such easy thing as just adding its own unique epithet for each individual number in the top 250 can improve the situation. The Gloomy princess for number 7, the Stinking baron for the 66th, the Azure king for 3, the Dame of slaughter for 150, and etc. and etc. And this will be funny, this will be more interactive. Not that it will take you a symposium of creators, one part-time student with a drop of humor for just one night could be enough. I just hope that the last point of your "Own philosophy" - "strive for the fun", - was not just another piece of bullshit. As many things you do and say, dear anet, seems to be out-of-stream.

Ithilwen.1529 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Sweet Titles... well chosen. Unfortunately, I'll probably not be able to earn one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutOfOrder.3719 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I sure hope the match making system is updated for less volatile placements for fairer matches to go alongside these new PvP titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Fear.1624 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Perhaps get rid of the leaderboard and assign those titles to those who reach a certain rating instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodzynald.5897 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 As long as there are so many cases of wintrading, and all those weird unpunished shenanigans between players like "afk after losing mid" then those titles are not too appealing to me. EDIT: Actually, wouldn't it be better to give such titles in 2v2 setting instead for DUO or SOLO play in a FIVE VERSUS FIVE setting? Keep it consistent.
