New PVP Fame Meter Idea

Mwink · 12-17-2007, 10:36 PM

Im just making a suggestion and see what peoples opinions are but I would like to see a fame meter put in the game or via some website. Halo 2 had something similiar. Basically its a meter that goes up or down with your fame so you know if your about to move up to the next title or drop a title. For those people who are anti-title...yes we know titles dont prove anything but does not seem like they are going anywhere. I just think if would be a cool thing to add just to show your progression.

QFE and unfortunately true. Give me the option to turn titles off, or just constantly reset my fame to 0. Once that's done, you can do whatever the hell you want with titles, because I'll never have one again. (or atleast wont be able to see them.)

I also have no problem with the suggestion made by the OP, provided if that is done, I'd like the ability to turn my fame off permanently, so I never accumulate any fame or get any title. Then, I'd also like the ability to turn off other people's fame titles in options so I never have to see them.

I strongly feel like this part of the game is not good for PVP, and I'd simply rather not participate in it, in any way.

I vote you see your fame meter, but also fame is based on number of kills. 1 point per kill, and lets say you lose a point or two per hour you're online.

As much as people hate the titles if you take them away its going to be boring. Its like exiles killing exiles its only fun for so long. You need something to work at. Anyway I dont want to take my own thread off track

I agree with LFG on this one. I've seen the title system lead to too much asshattery not to.

The fame system in it's current for is broken. It rewards running rather than fighting, and it is no secret that some classes have a huge advantage over others when it comes to escaping PvP.

It also leads to a lot of cheap behaviour in general and famewhores only rolling in huge groups because they're just desperate to avoid death in PvP. A lot of people will gladly ditch even their own guildies - at any time, just to save their precious fame. Is this crap supposed to be fun?

A fame-o-meter, which is a decent idea in itself, would not change any of this. If I could choose to never have a title and never gain or lose fame, I would without hesitating. Nothing better than soloing and never worry about that bullshit. If someone loves the title game so much and want to keep it the way it is, at least allow those of us who hate it to choose not to participate.

I like seeing those titles because I know who to avoid. When I see a blue con destroyer running around I know to run because it's a twink (ex-) level locker. Same with horses, I avoid engaging people on horses because they are twinks generally speaking.

This would be good.

Having a title doesn't mean you're good. You can be an auto-follow buff-bot and still have a general title. Get into the right group and the titles will come.
