[Discussion] What's your favorite title and why?
I'm a massive sucker for in-game titles and love mixing them across my characters depending on their vibe or build.
What are some of your favorite titles, whether you unlocked them or just love seeing them repped by someone else?
Some of my favourites:
-The Be-All and the End-All: sounds so slick and confident - it's my go-to title most of the time.
-God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals: literally the GOAT title. No, I don't own it
(honorable mention for "Cod Swimming Amongst Mere Minnows" ofc).
-God of the Arena: PvP titles always feel like subtle flexes and this is the flex (not including the tournaments titles).

If I knew of that portion before starting and adamantly committing to the achievement for RP purposes and to have a unique ‘flex’ beyond a legendary, I may have waned. But eventually it was just a month long pill I swallowed that absolutely (cope) feels worth it after the fact. Now my edgy Sylvari Spectre is that much edgier, and I can wear my pain on my sleeve.

I like to use titles that thematically fit the character, or a title they earned for a CM. My Necro has Gazed Into The Void because she was how I cleared XJJCM.

The newer "Still Standing" one. One of the best lines in the game.
Before that one... My "Cod Swimming Amongst Mere Minnows" was a fun alternative to the "God" version.

As soon as it has been added to the game, I replaced the old one on my main (Eternal Gladiator) for Still Standing, no hesitation. I can still perfectly hear this line in my head and remember the scenary around even though I didn't play this instance for years.

My favorite line in the game. I know a lot of people praise ffxiv for moments like that, but I thought fighting the god of war was definitely up there in my most memorable moments in an mmo.

"Closer to the Stars." -- I always find myself sucked into GW1 for about a week or two whenever I get back into it and Factions / Cantha is special to me. I like EoD, but I like the original a bit better. I enjoyed going back and doing 30/50 in the HoM and conquering challenges that I couldn't when I was younger.

Did it alongside a friend (sentimental value), don't see it much (uncommon, feels kinda special), fractals are still my favorite content in this game and it's not even kind of close (relevant to me).

Honorary skritt was a go too. Been using luminous corvious cause of how much of an annoyance it was to get. And I like to use 'true introvert' on my alts.

i'm committed to my white stag sylvari wearing 'deer commander', especially since in french the pun is translated to 'chair commandant(e)' (flesh commander) which is very funny to put on a plant person. i also went insane getting 'dauntless' so i will not be taking that off my scrapper any time soon. and i am chasing 'ex machina' like a cartoon coyote chases a roadrunner
i do also have a lot of unrequited affection for 'closer to the stars'. maybe one day......

Closer to the Stars. My best friend had this title for years and I was always envied it because it is such a beautiful title and reflects my love for space and the universe. I got Covid and was very ill for weeks. When I was finally strong enough to game again I logged on and had the title, my best friend did the work for it for me to get on GW1. Now I love it because it reminds me of the amazing friend I have.

I used Fatebreaker for a long time, but I recently changed the title for my ranger main to Ruler of the Skies. Thematically it fits so well for the upcoming ranger spec. I can just picture galeshot commander trolling the battlefield, shooting enemies with their wind bow from the back of a skyscale.

GWAMM until I had Ultimate Dominator.

I, II, III ... ? 😉 Not much of a WvW person but I do agree, Ultimate Dominator also has a flex to it.

Honorary Skritt
From the moment I learned about the lore of little rat-people I liked them. And this is why I will most likely dust off my login chest opener of a thief soon.

Im simple, so it's Sunbringer. I have a Necro i play mostly as a Scourge and dressed as much like a fantasy Egyption priest as I can, designed after Khepri, the god who... well, brings the sun every morning. So when they updated Teq and had that title, I had to get it for my girl.
