Simple thing ... Tooltip request :)

Wrote this in Feedback but it didn't appear. Probably can't make threads there. Anyway ........

I wondered if we could have it so that when you hover over a skill box, it tells us in a tooltip what the title for that box is? For example, if I hover over Forage 21-50 the tooltip would say "Forager".

Just a suggestion :p

Thanks for listening! :)

Until it's in game...

All the titles are there (the rest is a "work in progress").
Title changes are still in the "Under Consideration" section, maybe they can toss this request in as well.

This is hardly necessary and there are even reasons why Nevrax does not want this.....the titles used to be a surprise. Also, in the time invested toward a particular skill tree, if you don't know what that title is associated with then......

How do you know this?

Perhaps I wasn't clear.

"There are reasons why Nevrax could not want this" was supposed to indicate that since Nevrax has a policy of never revealing game mechanics they don't want people to know titles or what causes them until they are acquired.

Evidence of this is seen from the initial stance on titles being for the skill tree you are working on having changed to titles being for what you have accomplished as of patch 1. In addition to there aforementioned policy that is by now common knowledge.

message to people to that dont know me: I talk in suppositions and try to contribute what I can but I never think that i am 100% correct, i think i shoudl make this disclaimer my signature...

Yet they asked for our feedback on renaming them. I believe thiis is still under review.

Yes, they did. But for new players its supposed to be something exciting and surprising. Of course its not a secret anymore because the tree has been fully explored...every time I level with new people they are very excited to unlock new titles and ask constantly what they are even having been told multiple times. That excitement is what I would hope to preserve.

I'll accept the supposition clarification. Thx.
