Anyone else excited for Swashbuckler Supreme?

This is all I see in my head when I hear this title.

It’s cringe at best. I’m excited to raid the new trial for sure, but as someone who would go for the trifecta rewards...... this is a hard pass lol.

I got all the trifectas including planesbreaker and for the first time I may not bother pushing for a trifecta at all.

Here was my post in the official trial feedback thread aimed at rewards:

Current Rewards

NORMAL CLEAR
• Title: Dreadsail Scourge
• Dye: Pyandonean Purple

VETERAN CLEAR
• Title: Seaborne Slayer
• Body Marking: Stormsurge

HARD MODE CLEAR
• Title: Hurricane Herald
• Face Marking: Stormsurge

TRIFECTA CLEAR
• Title: Soul of the Squall

ALL ACHIEVEMENTS
• Title: Swashbuckler Supreme
• Mount: Stormsurge Howler

New Rewards

NORMAL CLEAR
• Title: Swashbuckler
Appears as Name, Swashbuckler.
• Dye: Pyandonean Purple
• Body Marking: Tideborn
• Face Marking: Tideborn
Stormsurge Body+Face Markings have been renamed to Tideborn.

VETERAN CLEAR
• Title: Hurricane Herald
Appears as Name, Hurricane Herald.
• Skin: Ethertide (datamined skin)
Totally fine to use some other skin as long as it is decent.
• 1% chance to receive “Runebox: Reef Dweller”, a fancy tradeable polymorph.

HARD MODE CLEAR
• Title: Taleria’s Scourge
Appears as Name, Taleria’s Scourge.
• Ability Skin Pack: Tideborn
Includes a water-themed Ability Skin for each class Ultimate.
• 5% chance to receive “Runebox: Reef Dweller”, a fancy tradeable polymorph.

TRIFECTA CLEAR
• Title: Everlasting
Appears as Name the Everlasting

ALL ACHIEVEMENTS
• Title: “of the Deep Sea”
Appears as Name of the Deep Sea.
• Mount: Deep Sea Howler.
Think of the current Stormsurge Howler.
The differences would be the following:
- Blue-green texture used all around the body is replaced by a clear water bubble-type texture which is see-through and always moving/pouring onto the ground.
- Rock textures are replaced by coral textures.
- Blue-green aura effects are replaced by water effects.
- No longer has a constant “icy” humming sound.
- The “rear up” animation forms waves around the mount, and for a time the mount leaves behind a trail of water similar to the Surfglow Courser.
- The “mount summon” animation shows the mount forming out of water coming in from all directions.

My thoughts on actual rewards for the trial.

Yeah, we'll still be pushing the trifecta, but this title feels pretty memey. Titles like "Godslayer" and "Planesbreaker", and even "Dawnbringer" or "Immortal Redeemer" sound really cool, but this one kinda missed the mark. It is what it is I guess.

I think its amazing! But I usually just run around with the "Recruit" title, so everyone knows I'm a pvp Chad.

A lot of the titles have suffered from lack of originality at times. I'm glad they moved away from the BANE obsession, though I'm sure SCOURGE will take its place.

20 seconds of research turned up the actual meaning of the word "Swashbuckler". Apparently it was an older term for a ********* bully who was full of themselves.

"********** Supreme" actually has a slightly better ring to it...

Edit: Apparently this forum is moderated to be friendly for 4 year olds (even though it's rated MA), and certain harmless words are not allowed to be used, even when not directed at anyone. You can all look it up for yourselves I guess. It's no wonder no one likes using these forums.
