[DEV] Proposed Title Changes

[sidusar]

I agree the Oracle titles just don't sound right. Use avatar, conjurer, harbinger, summoner, caller, bringer, giver, or any other synonym I can't come up with right now, but please not oracle...

I like the "Dream" and "Devastation" actually, adds some variety to the titles. Tormentor - Torment Oracle - Master of Torment is three times "torment"; boring. I'd prefer something like Tormentor - Sorrow Oracle - Master of Pain. Same story for Life Giver - Life Oracle - Master of Life, it's three times "life". I can't think of any alternatives right now though. And yes, Master of Pain should be offensive affliction in my opinion, Master of Destruction (Avatar of Destruction turned into a master skill) would be more fitting for elemental magic.

I also like the 201 titles like Nankarist, Taluseer, Katoorian etc. I think it's great to have some titles that are specific to the Ryzom universe, rather than all those general titles (swordsman, maceman, pikeman) that could be used in any fantasy setting. But it is true that it wouldn't make sense for a Fyros swordman using a blamus sword to be a "klydist". If the titles are going to be like this, they need to be different depending on race.

Crusher Lord and Executioner don't fit in if every 250 title is "elite" or "master". What's wrong with Crusher Master or Elite Executioner?

Personal dislikes:
- Illusionist sounds more like a performer using magic tricks to entertain a crowd than a magician conjuring illusions to keep ferocious creatures at bay.
- Shooter sounds more like a piece of equipment than a homin.
- Hammerer sounds... well, Sehraci has that one covered. Bludgeoner is better.

I assume any title not on the list is going to remain as it is? How about the Celestial Guardian? As nice as it sounds, in my opinion it's more religious than the priest title.

Whats Raylerist?

201 Autolauncher. Take a look at the spreadsheet to see which skills these titles belong too.

250 in All terrains = Geologist

250 in any terrain = Prospector (+ prefixs for terrain type)

201 in any terrain = Surveyor (+ prefixs for terrain type)

250 in All craft skills = Craft Master

201 in All craft skills = Jack of all Trades

As above comments, the weapon specific's are bad as u may not have used that weapon, some of the high level ones are good but need to be consistent, Oracle has got to go , this is the ideal point to make them gender neutral, and i really like the:
Geologist
Prospector
Surveyor
Diviner

It would be really cool if you could get a title for maxing out all your skills in a particular skill branch. For example, if you max ALL your fight skills you could get a title like 'Master Fighter' or 'Elite Fighter.' Maybe the Archmage title could be for anyone who has all their Magics at lvl 250. Master Extractor would be a good one for foraging i think. I cant think of a good one for crafting.

The French Titles use Mage for Oracle, just translate directly.
That would sound better and be more consistent.

How many 250's is it for fight??? I don't know if there's a point to coming up with that title

Just checked....
I count at least 15 Fight branches at 250

If someone did do it... they better get better than "Elite Fighter"

Aaahhhh!!!

What did they do???

Granted some changes were needed....

But... but... GAH

Please remember that these are items of the "Under Consideration" section; we won't patch it tomorrow, and considering how important a title is, we want to do this with you.

The name of the spreadsheet you can download is named titles_revamp_v1.xls. That's on purpose. Expect at least a second version, integrating your suggestions. If you're horrified by some of the titles changes, be sure to mention it with a replacement suggestion: we'll closely follow this thread.

Yeah, sorry about that, I was just caught off guard

I get emotional sometimes
I'm better now :takes another pill:

I'm not sure about crafting other than I know I don't want to be the "Devil in a Blue Dress".

If the dress fits... Come to think of it, you always wear blue...

They would get 6 months free in the looney bin.
