Anyone achieve Soul Shriven as character forum title? A badge of honor for questioning authority?

Just noticed today that instead of stars, I now have soul shriven next to my forum name as you will notice above.

Seems amusing to me if its some curious badge of honor for questioning authority.

I play a VR6 Templar. Well to be blunt I played a VR6 Templar. Post ninja nerf I had to respect to a build I do not enjoy.

I've been grinding Battlefield Phantom Trainee pistol kills and contributing constructive feedback in the forums while waiting for a sensible resolution by Zenimax.

Anyone have this occur? I'm curious what precipitated a removal of stars for "Soul Shriven".

    Its a title for n00b posters under a specific number of posts, educated guess of course doing my own research on the issue.

    Since it only appears to apply to posters without stars next to their name, I think it's part of a new ranking system.

    Edit: After re-reading your post, no. You don't get a badge for standing up to "the man." You aren't that important to them.

    That would make sense if as stated, the "Soul Shriven" moniker appeared in place of stars bar of which I had been previously ranked.

    With respect to Zenimax respecting its player base. I think undisclosed ninja nerf precedents and current class imbalance as well as the litany of game content related issues speaks for itself.

    Sections of its consumer base and their concerns remain unimportant to Zenimax.

    Hence, the ghost town effect that has been spoken of at length by forum contributors.

    Sorry for posting wrong quote in the above post.

    Just received the removal of my "Soul Shriven" title!

    No Zenimax response of explanation. Too funny!

    That's related to your point totals. The moderators don't comb through posts and decide when someone is "ready" for promotion. So that would be why you got no explanation.

    But by all means, continue believing that the moderators have specifically labeled you as a "troublemaker" and are trying to make life hard for you. Whatever floats your boat.

    My comment number next to bubble only shows 5 agree comments. Something happened that remains unexplained.

    I'm not perturbed, I just found it curious that star status had disappeared for "Soul Shriven" moniker and sought to tap the wisdom of the community.

    Have a nice day!

    That's not your point total, and the "5 Agrees" icon is a badge, not a running total of your Agree points. You have 20 Agrees (at the time of writing this post). Your point total is displayed in all the small text under your name, and my guess is that they've added some small hurdle for "Soul Shriven" people to get one star, instead of starting everyone out with one.
