Silent Titles

  • Tyburn Ketch

    This has probably been thought of before but I like this post so much I thought a thread would be good.

    I think it would be fantastic if, through our actions, we silently receive a title.

    Loads of PvP? Hunter. Loads of (hopeful of this being added) courier voyages? Courier. Loads of shipwrecks? Diver

    Any and all actions count towards your title. A title your actions create. Would add hugely to the RP of the adventure.

    I’d like a whole plethora of voyage variety if possible. But the 50/50/50 sort of gets in the way.

    However Pirate legend could get a whole load of new voyage structure. The game would totally open up at pirate legend. Which is actually what Rare promised I believe.

    What do you guys think? What other titles could we have - not necessarily linked to voyages?

    Fisherman? (Please add fishing Rare), Explorer? Thief? There are hundreds of titles we could gain, that are generated for us, rather than chosen, based on actions.

    I feel it would add another layer of depth and immersion that can only be good.

    Thoughts?

    It's a nice idea to expand on the "Titles" as rewards which are currently only attached to factions. It would indeed give you more ways of presenting yourself towards others.

    I'm not entirely sure how I feel about removing the choice of titles as that would actually make all your other titles obsolete. As you said you can have hundreds of titles but the game decides from all those titles which one you get.

    I can see how it would add to the immersion of basically listing the thing you do most often, but it could also be limiting to trying to act different in different sessions. My sessions in the game differ a lot, as does my behavior. I can already imagine someone having the "Masterthief" title would have a lot of trouble trying friendly communication with other crews because he has that stamp of untrustworthy on him.

    Which would be interesting :) Your actions define you. Stop thieving if you don’t want the title :)

    I guess it could change daily, depending on what you do. With AI intuitive ranges/gauges of when you’d get a new title.

    Perhaps they could run alongside the already implemented ‘chosen’ titles?
