New Dragon Celebration Titles
With the Dragon Celebration Update, there are 2 new titles..

Charmed, by winning 50,000 Festival Tickets in the Dragon Games.. and Hapless by losing 5,000 games in the same Dragon Games. At this time, I'm not sure if there is a 2nd tier or not. (I'm currently 1,500+ on the Charmed, and 118 on the Hapless, so I've got a little way to go yet.

(new person) I'm going to go AFK tonight on a circle to see what the next rank in unlucky is. News will be up tomorrow probably.


 * There are some news about it in the taiwaneese GW site. According to a translation posted here theese titles have five levels! The lucky one maxing at 2,500,000 and unlucky at 500,000. --Torins 11:17, 30 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Where's the taiwaneese website? I just reached Hapless after a lot of AFK, beer, and money; and I can gladly say that it is the last rank in the title.


 * I'd love to see pictures as proof of either situation (multi-tier, or single-tier). I myself should hit Charmed in a few hours if my current rates hold true, and I'll update as I can with a picture as proof. Mr Jerrypants

I don't think that the Taiwaneese website is correct at all... Let's say it is correct and you need 500,000 loses to get "God of Jinx" title. Each game takes about 10 seconds. If you were to lose EVERY game (which you don't, you only lose about 50 to 60% of the time) you'd have to be losing for 57 days straight. The event itself is only 5 days. So unless there are a ton more mini-games like these coming out frequently I seriously doubt they can be right. Although, it does make you think what ANet has in store then. - Stexe


 * My guess is that from now on, each special event like this will have games that will count towards both titles. --Rainith 14:52, 30 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Even that logic is flawed. If there are 5 events a year (one for each season and one for something else) and each event lasts 10 days it will still take someone to stand there losing games non-stop just to get the maximum title. That is over 50 days of being idle.


 * ANet themselves have said that not everyone will get every title. These are things that most people will never get, only the "hard core" players will have them.  Personally I don't expect to make even the lowest tier of these titles during this event.  --Rainith 15:07, 30 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Well, yeah it would take 57 days of events and AFKness to get the max title. But think about the other titles. How many players have certain titles maxed, especially those reaching into the thousands and millions? There are a handful compared to the mass of casual players. ANet didn't do this with the intention of giving everyone a maxed title. Personally, it would be cool have a maxed chance title but I'd rather spend money on Obsidian armor. =P Besides, there are rumors that ANet might have a casino sort of thing. Purely speculation though. --Vortexsam 15:20, 30 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Steve's math is off. It'd be 5.8 (= 50000 * 10 / 60 / 60 / 24) days of losing at 10s per game.  So if you lose half the time, less than 12 days.  Still a lot, but so's maxing the faction titles and most others, and this can be done AFK.  --68.142.14.71 18:49, 30 June 2006 (CDT)


 * It is Stexe, not Steve, and my math is not off. It is 500,000 * 10 / 60 / 60 / 24, not 50,000. Although now people are saying that Jinxed is just the highest (10,000).
 * My mistake, Steze. --68.142.14.71 23:06, 30 June 2006 (CDT)
 * ROFL. And you can do better then go with a 100% loss rate. Standing in the courner (thus maximising losses) gives you a loss rate of 2/3. So your average advange per game is 2/3. So that would be ~87 days of straight standing there. Just a mass experiment in the law of large numbers and a really clever money sink by ANet. standing AFK on a courner spot of course => --Xeeron 05:14, 1 July 2006 (CDT)

Im assuming there are 2 ranks to each title since they are named lucky and unlucky and the second titles in them are both lucky and unlucky im currently at happless with 6k losses ill post once im at 10k to confirm this.

Lucky Title Track
Wouldn't 1 million be the next step in the Lucky Title track, rather than 2.5 million? Since it goes: 50k, 100k, 250k, the next logical steps would be 500k, and then 1 mil. Right? If my logic is flawed please update this section on why 2.5 million is the known step after 500k.


 * It's because the taiwaneese GW site says so, the link to the translation is in the talk above ^ --Torins 16:24, 2 July 2006 (CDT)
