[DEV] Proposed Title Changes

[sehracii]

Illusionist
Life Giver
Tormentor
Elementalist
-All sounds great, needed to be changed.

Dream Oracle
Life Oracle
Torment Oracle
Devastation Oracle
-Oracle? I don't like this one at all, how about:
Harbinger of Life
Harbinger of Dreams
Harbinger of Torment
Harbinger of Devastation

And I imagine the 250 titles are staying the same? Or are they becoming "Master" titles?


Swordsman
-Bad. A light armsman may never have touched a sword! Light Arms Warrior?

Heavy Warrior
-ok. But makes you sound overweight. Heavy Arms Warrior?

Bludgeoner -> Hammerer
-I prefer Bludgeoner. I don't think they are carpenters....

Nankarist
Taluseer
Katoorian
etc.......

-These don't work. Firstly, many people don't recognize them and secondly they imply you use a certain racial weapon when you may never have. And possibly in RP the title could be insulting if it's of an opposing faction. I say use an "Elite" version of the 250 titles.
Maybe could be implemented as optional titles along with more neutral ones....


The 250 titles need consistency. I like "Elite" at 201 and "Master" at 250
Also, i.e. the creative "Crusher Lord" and "Executioner" Either make it "Master" for everyone or get creative for everyone. The latter is a better idea. Make these all "Elite Maceman" for example and move them to 201. Then make creative and original titles for 250. That's a long haul, they deserve something better than "Master Maceman" or "Master Pikeman" Things such as Executioner and Master Assassin can stay. I'm sure the community can come up with a good creative title for every weapon if the devs can't.


I don't know enough about ranged to say, but those looked ok for the msot part. And anything else I left out either I don't know or the change seems ok.

These.. SUCK!

No offense to the French & Co but change theirs to other lame names not ours thanks!
Otherwise think of something decent at least *spits*

Does Master of the Fist come with its own emote?

"Your kung fu is weak and obsolete, you have offended my honour"

LoL Sin!!

Actually, eveyr 250 title should come with a special emote, that'd be awesome!

LoL Sin!!

Actually, eveyr 250 title should come with a special emote, that'd be awesome!

lvl 250 pistol: "do ya feel lucky, punk"
lvl 250 off affliction: "the sap is strong on you!"
lvl 250 2h sword: "for Crom and Yrkanis"
lvl 250 def affliction: "always two they are, a healer and a mind lord"
....

Ok, a few words I hope people agree with.

Titles at a particular level do not need consistency in wording, only consistency in how powerful they sound.

Many of us are more interested in combination titles, i.e. titles for certain stanza combinations or multiple high level skills.

Some of us want differentiation between the different crafting titles.


And some things in English though grammatically correct just sound plain wrong: Torment Oracle would need to be Oracle of Torment for it to make sense, on the other hand Dream Oracle sounds fine.

I do commend Nevrax from choosing some of those words that are specific to the Ryzom universe like Slathist, but I am unsure of how well it fits when only one race makes a Slathe Sword. lol should a higher level char be a modi slathist....

Thanks for the spreadsheet! we were missing a few titles... Master AutoLauncher User, no title for you!! (not sure if machine-gunner is any better... its not a Vulcan cannon or a tommygun, ya know).

Any thoughts on Foraging or Crafting title changes? Master Digger of Dung Resin? Kami Tolerence Eliminator? Johnny Amberseed? Master Cobbler? Leather Vixen of Pain? Devil in the Blue Dress?

Any thoughts on Foraging or Crafting title changes?

I'm not sure about crafting other than I know I don't want to be the "Devil in a Blue Dress". However, I'd like to see some more interesting harvesting titles. I find the Advanced, Expert, Master progression a bit drab and I'm not a big fan of using 'Forager' in every title. How about things like:

Geologist
Prospector
Surveyor
Diviner

These could easily be combined with the regional names (i.e. Lakeland Geologist). In my head, I'm thinking those are high level to low level as I ordered them, mainly due to the amount of knowledge suggested by each. A diviner being someone that 'senses' the location of materials with more than a little luck involved, a surveyor that does broad surveys of the land, a prospector that surveys the land specifically for materials, and finally a geologist that is very knowledgable about the makeup of the land and its resources.

Why can't you just rename all to atys name titles isteed of mixing some french, germans and english? will not what save some time and codeing? why have 3 set then you can have one?

To have both normal title names like"Novice fighter, Life giver and so " and the new made below is just more confusing.

Nankarist
Taluseer
Katoorian
Haquer
Klydist
Kankarist
Punnelist
Retchist
Slathist
Fylerist "allmost drunkard where i come form"
Koltoneer
Brazerist
Raylerist
Strabuseer
Cestarian

Like the way you translated with IST on allmost evry word

Make you self a standard and stick to what, and focus on more inportent things what are broken. "move along! move along! nothing to see"

[sehracii]

Geologist
Prospector
Surveyor
Diviner

I love it.

I would like to see titles be gender neutral. For example Gunman could be Gunner or Pikeman could be Piercer. Also if you are removing Priest, why not remove Oracle and Lord as well....
