I think Wicked could beat Dread, but I'm no huge either fan due to slang reference (and other stuff). Vicious works more after Vile or something like that.

We could consider taking the Lord/Dame system back to use as well. So lets say you reach +128k of virtue and you become "Lord Zaradon". Lord status could have some benefits like guards acting differently or even having some control over guards (<guard name> follow me, <guard name> patrol and whatnot.) So that'd fit fine for positive virtue.

Now, what would the negative equivalent? Chaos lord/dame? Evil lord/dame?

Who wants to become Zaradon anyway?

I'd guess 90% of the shard would kill themself.

Cyrus is right. If i kill a thousand dragons, does it make me a good person if at the same time i kill a thousand player characters.

ive never seen the titles very "rpish" which is why i'd prefer hunting unlocking them and we can then freely choose the one we think fits the best.

what comes to cirius' lord titles the problem is they were replaced with the heighten titles. According to repsak we cant have three titles (virtue, heighten and lord/sir/lady/dame). If we can, i think evil or good, you can be a lord, lady, sir or dame. No need for "evil" version of them

You can if Lord/Dame is the virtue title. So after "The Glorious Xaeron Rosak" you become "Lord Xaeron Rosak". Also there would be an additional check if Dame/Lord, depending on sex. Otherwise good point with the extra heighten status crap. That needs some toggling or you'd be "The Ancient and Lord Xaeron Rosak" at some point. Less hassle, lets continue with the current system.

From everything suggested in the previous 3 threads, the only thing that tops Dread is Monstrous. So what I would do is the following;
  • Honorable...........200
    Commendable......400
    Admirable............800
    Re(k)nowned.........1,600
    Famed...............3,200
    Noble.................6,400
    Illustrious..........12,800
    Great................25,600
    Glorious.............51,200
    Heroic.............102,400

    Rude................-200
    Unsavory..........-400
    Dishonorable......-800
    Dastardly..........-1,600
    Malicious...........-3,200
    Ignoble.............-6,400
    Vile..................-12,800
    Sinister.............-25,600
    Dread...............-51,200
    Monstrous..........-102,400
or add some extra filling, as such;
  • Honorable...........200
    Commendable......400
    Admirable............800
    Re(k)nowned.........1,600
    Famed...............3,200
    Noble.................6,400
    Illustrious..........12,800
    Great................25,600
    Glorious.............51,200
    Majestic..........102,400
    Heroic.............204,800


    Rude................-200
    Unsavory..........-400
    Dishonorable......-800
    Dastardly..........-1,600
    Malicious...........-3,200
    Ignoble.............-6,400
    Vile..................-12,800
    Vicious.............-25,600
    Sinister.............-51,200
    Dread...............-102,400
    Monstrous..........-204,800

Note: all bugged and flawed titles will be fixed. That applies to both negative and positive virtue. Currently we players with -554 million negative virtue and some with +165 million positive virtue.

I like the look of that list, but I wonder how they are going to fix he bugged virtues?

Even if I did some resskilling at some point with my character for the good of someone else, I've certainly hunted enough to get the title itself within the last 8-9 years.

How I see it, everyone with over -52k would be set back to -52k. Regardless of Wille capping dying and poison to a certain point, negative virtue still remains easier and faster to achieve than positive virtue. In which case all Dread would remain Dread (if we're talking of option #1). I guess I prefer that version because someone actually reaching +204k of positive virtue sounds pretty absurd.

Some sure, but even in your case it needs to be fixed or the system will never be balanced. You're at -12 million, we simply can't build a system that reaches that far. We'd need 8 new negative virtue titles.

I'd go with the extra filling. Looks good.

We can add the titles without touching people's virtue. Yes, someone will have the title due to a bug or other reason, but it's just a title that grants nothing extra. It's not worth the effort dropping people's virtue - especially since some people might have more through an honest way.

Though I'd prefer "Infernal" over monstrous.

Or have both, remove Vicious and no one will have their current virtue title changed. As such...

Anyone reaching Heroic status will receive my honest respect. Even if it's achieved by killing 200+k of slimes. We already have players with 5 heightened characters, we need more goals and this could be one of many.
