Talk:Zaishen title track

Oh come on Anet, original naming structure? Random Time  20:53, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

stupid
This is such a bad idea. People are just going to buy keys and get the title. Its a rank emote for a bought title. It would be a great idea if you got a title for amount of balthazar faction earned instead because thats something that a player actually earned. That shows true devotion to the Zaishen. The best part about a Balthazar faction title is that it would be retroactive because we already keep track of how much faction you earned. Seriously, if I get ranked by this I'm just going to assume its some PvE scrub and laugh at them. &mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 20:58, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * /agree Random Time  21:00, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * One point per 1k balth faction earned is the same as the keys, would be retroactive, and people wouldn't be buying the title. &mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 21:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

AGREED. Why can't they introduce emotes for gladiator/balthazar/gamer/kurxon etc. At least those can't be farmed easily. A title that can be bought is just silly.218.186.13.3 11:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

In my opinion, if they are going to introduce a new title, for something that has been around for a while, they should give you credit for past chests opened. Just like the Luxon/Kurzick titles, a few friends and i got royally screwed over with the intro of that title, because we used to AB hardcore, and then got tired of it, then it became a title. So i think you should get past credit. but w/e.--Pendulous Assassin 22:31, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Its impossible to make it retroactive because the game doesn't keep track of how many times you've opened the chest. &mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 23:46, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I wish they made ir retroactive..because about a month ago, i used about 700k on keys..a little annoying..luckily i got a voltaic though..

It is my deduction that this is a faction title yes? Same everything except point requirements as both the Luxon and Kurzick faction titles. To solve the retroactive problem that many of us have, why not have your lifetime Balthazar points affect this title somehow? I know that Guild Wars has not been keeping track of how many keys I have used, so this seems like a fair change for both the pvp and pve community. Juraigamer 02:33, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Math?
Am I doing something wrong? For Rank 12, you'd need to open the chest 20,000 times. One key = 5,000 faction. 20,000 chests x 5,000 faction... do they really expect players to earn a hundred million faction? Vehemoth 21:53, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm guessing they're assuming people get the keys from not the sole source of balth faction, but from tournament reward points and halls chest as well.--76.175.215.180 21:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

You forget that they also raised the reward points for GvG/HB tournies, and those reward points can also be used to buy keys. The easiest way to get these keys is to be good at HB and enter lots of tournies, or have a great guild.- 69.115.13.91 22:00, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

the emotes look quite good in my opinion J1j2j3 06:40, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Wanna know what really annoys me about this?
I know that this is a rank that can easily be bought, and that has been the main complaint so far. However, emotes are meant for PvPers, and people who only PvP (like me) do not really have any cash because they...PvP. This means that all of the PvEers that DO have money can buy the title. IMO, this is an insult to the PvP community. CorrectJeans 23:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * And 90% of all nerfs in the history of GW have been a insult to PVE as they are nerfing a problem in PVP and ignoring the PVE problems they cause. Why do you think that only pvpers should be the ones to have title emotes anyways. This is simply another title not to respect, like Commander.--[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 23:54, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you have any idea how expensive this title track would be if you purely bought the keys? They are 5k each. That's like a hundred million k or some other really big number to max it out.&mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 00:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Pfft, I wouldn't pay 5k. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 01:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I am also one of those pure pvp'ers and I like it as I can sell my zaishen keys to idiots how want an idiotic title that means nothing. Which means I can finally get some money. And as reaction on Alari... The game is made for pvp, not for pve. PvE is made around PvP. The real insult is that they are going to set PvP behind the changed skills after this, instead of PvE. We PvPers have suffered enough of the PvEers complaining about skill balances. If you want to grind/farm stuff go play WoW. And pvpers should be the only ones with title emotes as they are the only ones who deserve something like that. So summery. Just laugh at the people with this title and know the pvpers made lots of money, because of those fools. Syarco
 * Better summary: It's a game. [[Image:Maui_sig.png]] 09:55, 12 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The game itself is made for PvE and PvP. But, the skill balances and shit is biased to PvP. I dont complain ,cause PvE is easy anyways. NF in 3 days? Sure. Why not. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 09:56, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The game is NOT made for pvp, out of the last 4 releases(campaigns, eotn, bmp) only 3 new pvp features were added; CMs, ABs and hero battles, and AB/CM are nearly the same thing, none are even considered high end in most circles. And the amount of effort that went into pve during the last three releases greatly outweighs the effort put into PVE, even if the dev team seems to care more about PVP now.--[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 20:31, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Alari your ignorance bemuses me.. Anet have shown no involvement in PvP focus and if they had this wouldn't be soem pathetic buyable title. Also Commander title is hardly disreagarded... you try top 100 HB and see how you fai, not v. well by the sounds of it. PvE is much more highly regarded than PvP. As I mostly play HB I can tlak about this from a Hero standpoint. All the Hero Updates Anet have released have been to resolve skill issues used by pVE players, never once has a fix been made to solve any PvP issues. Also the new way Anet are going to do skill balance with PvE and pvP versions of skills just shows to me that any pathetic qualms ignorant players like you have can be tossed aside. 82.32.64.95 (Rainbow)
 * Sorry, but you are flat out wrong. Most skill fixed are done because of PvP imbalance. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  16:49, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * If you think this for Hb ltp.. srsly not been fixed for over a year now. Oh btw, Pvp imbalance is fixed because it's worth fixing, PvE is piss easy, no skill needed tbh, jsut take right h/h set-up and can beat any campaign about 10 hours, its really not hard at all.82.32.64.95
 * Of course it's not for HB. And you're contradicting yourself; you talk about how all the fixes are for PvE, then go on about how it's so easy (it is). PvE is more played I guess, but PvP is most definitely higher on the priority list. --<font face="vivaldi" syouize="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  16:59, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

HoM Requirement
So, what level of this title is needed to place it in the HoM, tier 1, tier 3? Should be noted in the article if someone knowns. TK Hawkins
 * Probably 4 like the alliance titles.
 * Alright, I'm coming back to this. What is the requirement for the HoM for this title?  This is not a forum people, this is a place to discuss the wiki article.  And this is a semi-important fact that should be placed on the page. Somebody has to know this, I've seen people with rank 9 already- TK Hawkins May 10, 2008

Dumbest idea ever.

- You can purchase this title, essentially. - This will flood RA/TA (and possibly HA) with even more newb who are searching for a way to get another title. - Too easy to get. You could do Zaishen Elite farming several times a day even if you did suck at pvp.

For all of those reasons, I certainly hope they weren't planning on making this into a "status" title such as the Hero title set.

End of rant. Sorry. ;P Rue Bemeria 02:12, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Firstly, buying it would cost a stupid amount of cash. Only dedicated farmers could possibly afford that. As a second point, they can only buy if someone else is selling, so no matter what, someone has to be earning the keys. Flooding RA/TA/HA, yeah, but is that a bad thing? for experienced teams it means easy first round wins, for people who aren't experienced it means they might get someone their own level to fight and that's how you learn. Farming Zaishen for this title? You get 2k from normal and an extra 4k from Elite; 100,000 points is 100,000,000 faction total. At 6k/day that would only take 45 years to max. Farming Zaishen might get you a few low ranks but if you want to max this you basically need to compete in GvG tournaments (or do some serious HA/ABing) this is not a title for pve players. Sure, you can possibly buy it; for 100,000k. Claiming that it's easy for pve players is like saying that high end GvG or holding Halls is easy. <font color=#555>Ezekiel <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  03:27, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Regarding everyone's comments on how it costs so much money to buy the title, you need to keep in mind that this chest drops items. The process of using 200 keys (for r2) gives you a significantly high probability of getting valuable drops from the chest in the process of gaining your title. So the cost is not nearly as much as you think due to the recursive aspects of opening the chest. And to Rue, if you are so against the title, please join the club that I mentioned above.

 * yeah, but its still a fair amount of gold--<font color="#FF1493">Cloud <font color="Blue">dyl 16:18, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 250k at current key price for R1. Stupid amounts of cash to make a spear fall out of the sky, considering Obsidian(When my Para got it) was 960k(including price of all materials). FoW > More pretigious than falling pieces of metal.--99.225.57.217 18:49, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Something I heard when this first came out is that if you win a monthly tournament you get enough reward points to reach rank 5 of this title. While the lower ranks can be achieved with cash, zaishen farming, or very limited pvp the higher ranks are only realistically achievable with serious pvp play (I am including extensive AB as serious pvp but even that is very inefficient) The biggest point I'd say though is that pve farmers cannot buy the title unless pvp players are selling keys. Sure, people who play both can sell keys for some nice cash since the price jump, but even if the pve farmers try to buy ranks in this title someone has to be earning the faction. This title cannot be pve farmed. However pve farmers can trade their cash for a pvp player's faction. User:GW-Ezekiel

Not a bad thing
I don't think this is a bad thing at all, people always respond so negatively. I didnt know about this update so now I have 10 points since last night. I've had loads of previous chest opens and this not being retroactive feel kinda... Not too good, but hey. People will buy keys to get the rank. So it's going to be far more lucrative to sell them. Also this will improve the quality of PvP'ers (I hope), as frequent AB'er I've noticed that some peeps proclaiming high ranks in their title are absolute crap talkers with lowly attitudes that can't play for crap at all. Now there's an extra reason to do your best and farm those balties. My recent zaishen drops have been good too, so there :) 84.104.80.120 05:42, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well it may help inflation a bit, obviously theres a high chance of getting alcohol or sweets compared to stuff worth more then the keys are going for, so maybe it is good. --[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 06:02, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm not going to gripe about the title too much, because I never really even thought about a glad-emote or a champion-emote. I just think the title is funny, since it doesn't even necessarily encourage people to PvP more. Some rich PvE-er (speaking as a starving PvE-er myself) could just go to the Temple of Balthazar, buy a load of Z-Keys, and waltz off to the Isle of the Nameless to open the chest, all without ever touching a toe to the ground of an arena. And the first time someone rank-spikes me with this, I am literally going to burst out laughing at that person's self-importance. At any rate, looks like I'm back to Zaishen farming. I don't care about this title (though I may accidentally get r1 someday), but I can certainly make a good deal of money selling keys to those folks as want them.

Maybe it is just me, but I think this is a great idea. It will get more of the PVE players into PVP. Some of the people on this page though just sound like elitist jerks.

 * A better question may be "how is getting more PvEers trying to PvP a good thing?" Sure, it will expand their scopes a bit, momentarily.  Then, they will get flamed by people about their builds, because they won't have as much experience to figure out basic tactics in PvE, and they may never come to PvP seriously.  Letting PvEers transition naturally to PvP when they have the experience is a good thing, but luring them to do so with enticing titles and cool emotes that let them drop weapons from the sky is not a good idea. 71.31.149.63 21:36, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Sad
I'm quite sad that I as a poor(gold) pvp-player would be seen as someone with a useless rank. I know this title can be "bought", but tbh i dont really care that it can be bought. I don't even care that i will gain my ranks much slower. But i do care that, while i actually do not even "earned"(that is what you this title to be) my first rank, i will be prejudiced by you folks anyways. I mean, i have one crap pve-char and today i opened my first zaishen chest, from tournament tokens and balth faction, just because of this title track, but you already downgrade it for me to a "pve-title". I actually thought about even unlocking skills less often to get my title faster. This is why most of your comments make me somehow angry and a bit sad. Because this could be a great pvp-title track, but because you already started the discussion of this title on the pve side, the title will not have any value in pvp anymore. Because the "real" pvp-players already pushed the community and the perspective of this title to the bad corner. Great Job, thank you..... --82.174.109.26 19:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It got pushed there because people are out there buying hundred of zaishen keys. Hating on the title/anet/pve is the next logical step. If you earned it, you can sit there knowing you didn't buy it, but its hard to want respect for something you could well have just farmed in pve. lord of all tyria 20:09, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

HA! An Anti-Elitist Title Track
Really, I feel so bad for all of you. boo-frickin'-hoo....  "they made a title and now i can't be the only one to rank emote people and thump my chest"...  then ignore the damn title, like others do when you display yours. --Dosearius 01:14, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Haha thats so funny! Yes I ignore those special emotes all of the time, it just shows how really silly people can be, thinking it's cool to have so much time on their hands they can't invest it in getting anything remotely looking like a real life, at all. Anyway, it won't be too hard to get to rank one in a few weeks in my case, and I WILL gladly use the emote as "finishing move" on those rank-emote spammers I sometimes come across in AB's after I've shown their builds just won't work against someone who read all of the PvX wiki... and didn't agree. ;P Won't use em on the regular newbies and those who obviously know what they were doing untill they got unlucky enough to die before I did. I have dignity and honour. Ehm, in the end, yeah I like the emotes, I can't be bothered with getting upset about it, since after all, it's just a game we're playing. PuppetX 02:01, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Give it a break
Give it a break, its an emote...so... if you think its too easy to get FINE, who cares? whenever you see a guy /Zrank'ing go ahead and say lol, noob or whatever but this is something anet MADE for you, so dont be such a moron about it, its like getting a blue expensive car for cristmass and say you wanted a red one. be thankfull to anet who made it.

grind
Hey ANet, stop with the fucking grindfests. <font color="Purple">Yikey  16:45, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

 * ok...good point, will refrain from that in the future. But it must be said....all the crying and complaining do nothing to help anything here or within the game.  If someone don't like the title...then don't chase it.--Dosearius 16:17, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

 * This is where your argument fails. We want to earn our titles. Hell, I have 26 maxed so far. What we also want is BALANCE amongst titles. How come I was able to max 26 titles, while opening chests and id'ing golds the whole time, and I only have about 1700 of each of those. Unfair? Absolutely. I want titles that I can max that require me to play and not to grind. Clearing areas for the vanquishing title track wasn't grind. It was frustrating at times, but it was actual gameplay, not repetitive running around looking for chests, or FFF. This is where the game fails, adding more and more lame buy/grind titles and not more actual gameplay titles. How long have we been asking for a title for completing all of the quests in the game? And instead they add two more buy/grind titles. This is why I hate this game. So, next time you spout off with "yes, just hand out titles"-stupidity, use your brain to think before typing.

The Fundamental Flaw of Guild Wars
This really does go to the fundamental flaw of Guild Wars. Because the characters power ceiling caps so quickly, (pvp you practically start at the top) the only ‘new’ content Anet can give us for character development is purely cosmetic. Most of us are all lvl 20 with max armour and weps unlocked/purchased so the only way Anet can keep us on their servers (besides actually playing the game) is by creating crappy bragging right emotes that require hours of online grinding to acquire. Here’s an idea, Anet, keep your shitty emote-titles and how about spending the time you would develop them into creating new maps and areas to explore/pvp in. You might have more people playing your game than grind-festing. Christ-all-mighty, falling axes, swords, hammers and shit. Spare me. – Unsigned, coz I just don’t give a shit. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 196.25.255.218 (contribs).
 * Welcome to the wonders of MMORPGs. When they need a sequel, the only thing that keeps up from stop playing are shitty updates. But that's just a la basement dwellers. <font color="Purple">Yikey [[Image:Pig disgusting sig.PNG|19px]] 22:27, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Same with anything else that irritates people about this game, if you don't like how the game designers are doing things, stop playing. It is that simple. It is only a GAME for goodness sakes. Griping about how horrible Anet is for doing this or that is idiotic. Just go find something else that you like playing more. [[Image:Foul Bane1.jpg|65pxx26px]] 00:11, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * What they should do is add 2 new classes to prophecies so the core professions really are core, instead of another silly title...--[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 00:20, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * As far as constantly adding stuff to keep us interested, most people are forgetting something: They are doing just that. Just not in GW, they are putting alot of effort into GW2.. Enless you want them to put crap stuff in GW2 and focus on this one again, I say leave them be on how they are doing. Id much prefer to have GW2 be kick-ass and worth the wait, then screw it up with time spent here.... [[Image:Foul Bane1.jpg|65pxx26px]] 00:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * And screw GW1 over so no even wants to try gw2?--[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 00:25, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * If people blame Anet for not being good enough to do both games at once, instead of fine tuning GW2, I just say "More for me!" when I get it :) [[Image:Foul Bane1.jpg|65pxx26px]] 00:27, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Anets constantly degrading images of GW1 will not help them in GW2, and I believe that if they cant keep this game stable without adding constant crap, such as bragging titles that can be purely bought... well that doesn't make me put a lot of faith in their ability to run GW2.--[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 00:30, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh well. More for me if people quit cause of that. [[Image:Foul Bane1.jpg|65pxx26px]] 00:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * We're not talking about a delicious moist cake here. If the only people playing GW2 are you and me, I guarantee we're not going to enjoy it much. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 00:45, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * If Guild Wars alone attracted the amount of people it has on its own, I'm pretty sure GW2 will attract plenty of people, both GW1 people and newbies to the series. If we lose all the people who are real whiners in GW cause they don't like some random aspect of the game, and gain alot of new people, I'd welcome the change. [[Image:Foul Bane1.jpg|65pxx26px]] 00:50, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * GW1 was at its prime when most of the people who play now joined, no so much now as their management styles have changed and will likely be at the start of GW2. --[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 00:57, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Meh, I guess my stance on this is that it's just a game. It's your loss if you take it too seriously. If you don't enjoy it, just play something else. I play the parts of this that I enjoy, and I don't do much with the stuff I dislike; if it isn't fun, don't play it. I'm perfectly content with the parts of GW I like, and I will likely have the exact same stance on GW2 when it comes out. If people want to let game pixels on a screen ruin their day, thats their problem. ;-) Relax, and have fun with whats fun is my opinion. [[Image:Foul Bane1.jpg|65pxx26px]] 01:02, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You're still missing the point tho, it has nothing to do with individual things, but the way they run GW1 compared to the way the same people will likely run GW2, which at this point is bad. If they make GW2 around the stupid things they have added in GW1 recently, would you play?--[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 01:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It's whatever floats your boat. Like I said, I'd get it and play the parts I enjoy, and ignore the parts I don't. If the game is bad in general, I lose 50$ and don't play it. Not a big deal. As far as how others see it, thats up to them. But so far, I think ANet has done a good job for most of the game and I still enjoy casually playing it. If GW2 fails and everyone quits it, then GW2 is dead. ANet can work on their other completely different games, and the people who quit GW / GW2 can go find something else to play. [[Image:Foul Bane1.jpg|65pxx26px]] 01:18, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Anets done a good job for the most part, but recently its going on a downs slope, if GW2 follows the same curve and has constant nerfs with few buffs and constant additions of degenerating titles, etc. then I don't know if I will stay with GW2, I am trying it, at the very least.--[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 01:21, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

realistically the early stages of GW2 will have some big nerfs and buffs. Assuming beta and alphas don't find every exploitable skill combination. <font color=#555>Ezekiel <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  01:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * ANET is working their asses off on GW2, so they really don't have the time or the available manpower to add huge stuff to the game. STOP COMPLAINING! Its not like Anet is forcing you to get this title or you can never play again...its just something to distract people until the beta for GW2 comes out...--Manbeast15 06:38, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Account Based
I'm assuming this title is character based like most other faction and pvp titles, but I can't find anywhere where it confirms that. Can anyone doublecheck that this title is account based? 03:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Two characters displaying it. Check. [[Image:Maui_sig.png]] 04:00, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Warder?
It is very nice to see all you ppl moaning about how you (dis)like it or how neutral you are about the title, but does anyone happen to notice it sais Warder instead of warden? or is it warder, iff so, omfg Anet, YOU FAIL! (failblog, however, rules :P) can anyone clean it up when someone takes the time to stop moaning about the new title, or stops moaning to the moaning about the title... (a lot of moaning on this page :P) ty anyway, btw, get over it, the title is new, anet won't delete it cause you guys can't be a little mature and tolerate ppl who're willing to pay a lot of money, or farm a lot of balth for a title... i see it as a gr8 way to make money... 84.197.230.168 20:28, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

 * He's asking if the title name is "warder" or "warden", and suggesting that warder is a stupid name. lord of all tyria 20:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I wasn't sure iff it was warder or warden, so i wasn't feeling like changing it, cause then i'dd fail =P So, ty for changing it 84.197.230.168 16:54, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Toned Down
To be reasonable, if they wanted a title like this, it should be about 1/10th what it is now if they wanted it to be reasonable. It's a money title. Money titles cost 1 million per character. An account-based money title should cost more around the average account's character total. (I have 12 characters, not 100) 76.174.38.191
 * Are you saying that it should be easier to get this title? First of all, you have to take into account that this title does not cost a full 100mill. When you buy keys in that magnitude, you often get a rare drop from the chest that...allows you to buy more keys in magnitude. There was a point before this title that people bought keys for the sake of opening the chest. Also: Why the hell is everyone ONLY obsessed with getting max rank with this thing?! You DON'T need max rank, you need A rank. There is a difference. EDIT: I also forgot to mention that winning the monthy GvG or HB tournament nets about 900 keys. Its not all about money dude, you can easily get the title (a few ranks, not ALL OF THEM) doing HB tournaments rather than using actual money. 牛 <font face="vivaldi" size="3">Correct 仔 <font face="vivaldi" size="3">Jeans 裤  15:47, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Of course! Now let's all go win the tournaments! Oh wait...


 * I'm just saying that it shouldn't be easier because anet is probably aiming for this to be a tournament reward based title. Other ways of earning it are possible, but only pheasable for the first couple ranks. 牛 <font face="vivaldi" size="3">Correct 仔 <font face="vivaldi" size="3">Jeans 裤  00:17, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
