Account Wide Titles?

VDoom1

Hello everyone.

So it's a simple question I'm curios about, do you think titles should be account wide? Excluding PvP titles from this question.
I'm just curios what the general opinion is on this.

My opinion is yes, but not all of them. Here is my reasoning.
Some titles can be quite difficult to get or take a long time to get, for example Daedric Lord Slayer. If you are unlucky it can take a long time to get that title.

However it does make sense that some titles should remain character bound, for example PvP titles.
It would be quite illogical if you have the Veteran title on your main PvP character and your alt who has barely touched PvP can also apply the Veteran title.
So PvP titles should remain character bound.

So do you think exploration, crafting, dungeon, titles etc should be account wide?

EDIT:
To clarify. This could be to avoid the hassle of getting some very troublesome titles all over again.
Though as stated by some, there are titles so easy to acquire that there would be no need to make them account wide I agree.

No

Most titles aren’t hard to get again on a different characters.

Latios

No

Noooooooooo.

I can understand account wide achievements, and I even support this idea, because they are more like something you’ve done with a character to get.

Titles, on the other hand, are entirely personal. It’s like saying “hey, I’ve done this before with this toon, so that’s why you can call me a Voice of Reason”. It wouldn’t make any sense to have a level 1 soul shriven in coldharbor, asking “where am I?” with a Daedric lord slayer right next to his name.

It appears you answered your own question in trying to provide the reasoning for your opinion.

If it does not make sense for a low level character to have titles that demonstrate the character has spent a lot of time on something or completed a vet trial on HM then the entire idea it undermined since it is pointless to give a nothing title to all characters.

I would be supportive of account wide achievement list before titles that demonstrate an investment of time and effort. While titles are tied to the achievement, the actual title should still remain only with the characters that earned it.

I see your point. And yes I do agree a low level character running around with some title that is difficult to obtain would not make much sense. Though level locked titles could be something. Previously acquired titles are locked until you reach a level where it's actually possible to acquire it.

I was mainly curios what the general opinion is on this question. I know account wide achievements is something many want, I would like that to.

No

Hah no, imagine being a Redguard that abhors magic as a “Master Wizard”

Tandor

No

Once you give a title to a character that hasn't earned it then it becomes meaningless to the character that has earned it.

NekoTashi

No

Imagen starting over and using the title of “Champion of Vivec” with your new character. Even though that character NEVER set foot in Vvardenfell! It doesn't make any sense at all lol.

Some titles like the one I just mentioned are pretty easy to get. And other titles as well. You just have to replay the game and do the same quests like your other character(s) did.

So no, I don't think its a good idea to make titles account wide.

MyNameIsElias

Yes

I would love account wide titles

Czekoludek

Yes

It doesn't also make sense that low level characters have a silver skin from vAS. Really, ppl spoke about account-wide titles like we haven't got any account-wide stuff that shows ppl how good you are on low-level chars (skins, personalities, costumes (emperor), etc). Why you have been treating titles like if it was something completely different, it's beyond me.

I'm undecided. I tend to pick titles based purely on how they sound rather than where they come from, so this would be better for me, because then I'd have more titles to choose from on each character and might be able to find an appropriate one. But I can also see why other people don't like that idea.

One thing I will say: login rewards have made PvP titles somewhat meaningless already. My highest ranked PvP character is my crafter, who has barely even entered Cyrodiil, purely because he's the one I log into first so he's the one who gets the AP from login rewards.

Browiseth

Yes

no there shouldn't be account wide titles because for whatever reason i really want to make this game's grind even longer

MartiniDaniels

Honestly saying I see so many people lately with vet trial titles but doing 10k dps, so I doubt any title then flawless conqueror guarantees skill level of particular player.

Exactly, thank you!

Regarding low level characters with high level titles: if it bothers your immersion you don't need to use it on your own characers, they are entirely optional, and seeing them on others is no different than seeing vet skins on low levels as the poster above pointed out. You could perhaps make an argument for level-locking titles, but then the same should apply to skins, personalities and other unlocks.

So the real question should be: Do you want to limit all collectibles and titles to the character that earned them, or have the option to use them on other characters on your account? Because if the restriction only applies to titles but not collectibles it is entirely arbitrary and pointless (as it is in the game currently).

SynodicOracle

Yes

Absolutely, yes.

For things that require a lot of strenuous work, often things you don't want to repeat, it makes sense to make them account wide.

It would also display to other players that although you are level 1, this isn't your first character. Though I suppose that can also be done by the account wide polymorphs/costumes

In any case, I don't want to have to re-do super hard things for each character for the title

barney2525

No

Why would my new character, who had yet to do anything, have a bunch of titles?

bluebird

Yes

Why does your new character, who has yet to do anything, have a bunch of skins, personalities, markings, adornments, hats, mementos, costumes, outfit styles and houses that other characters earned through achievements and gameplay? Either yes to all and include titles or no to all of the above; wanting it both ways is just random and inconsistent.

Yes, Grand Overlord is easy to get on all characters. Takes 5 mins.

Account wide everything

RogueShark

Yes

I'm on the 'account wide achievements' bandwagon, so this would include titles.
It's about the only thing WoW has up on ESO, for me. I earned the titles, why should it matter on what character? It was still me.
They already let us share mounts and skins cross-characters... so I don't really understand why it's so selective. Titles are just cosmetic, too.

VDoom1

Yes

I understand why some are like "No!" because it would/could ruin immersion. Seeing some lvl 3 running around with Saviour of Nirn or trial titles. However do note that I never mentioned quest titles.

I agree with what has been said above that we already have outfits, personalities and mementos that can be used at level 1. Applied on a new character they really stand out and say "high CP main, done a lot of veteran dungeons."

As for trial titles, level lock seems like the easiest solution for that. So you can only apply the title when you hit a level where the feet can actually be done. Also as others have said, it's all up to you. What title you apply is all up to you.

But do you want to go through all the work and hassle to get the same title all over again? Getting the right title for a character can mean a lot to some people. So imagine if they already have it unlocked on their main only to have to redo all the work because it fits the alt better.

I will take an example that does annoy me a little.
On and off I work on the Explorer title, almost got it. I know it's kind of easy, just clear all delves in Tamriel. Clearing a delve takes 5-10min. So it's not that hard. However, if I want that title on an alt....well to bad do it all over again. Woopie....

See my point? It's for titles like that, the more tedious ones I wouldn't mind if at least some titles became account wide.

Will also note that WoW has level locked titles. So a lvl 20 can not run around with for example Dragonslayer, which would make no sense. But once a title is earned it's unlocked account wide. Then all you have to do is level.

rexagamemnon

Yes

Pvp titles should be account wide to

Czekoludek

Yes

Just make all titles account wide and obtainable to the alts after they reach 50 level. No more problem with immersion when you see level 3 char with beast personality, silver skin in costume of the emperor having "Champion of Vivec" title xDD

It's funny because zos gary has 5 alts voting no on this post all same picture.

Tigerseye

Yes

I don't care about titles, personally - but, yes, I think they should be account-wide.

You are the player that got them.

Your character didn't get them; you did.

AlnilamE

No

The majority of titles are too easy to obtain to be made account wide. They would have to rework some of them to have to be acquired per class to unlock a "Master Title" for example.

Kiralyn2000

No

No, titles are a sign of what that character has done.

Dojohoda

No

I respectfully disagree that account wide titles will be a good thing. Earning an achievement that rewards a title brings a smile to my face even if each of my other 13 characters had previously earned it.
