Yes, but that was before he said that titles are no longer dependent on other users, so it shouldn't be correct.
You know, I'm not sure if I really believe that, because titles being based off of other users just makes no sense, and I know this system isn't supposed to make sense, but that's just ridiculous.

Well I guess it used to be like that, but no one can really prove that since only the webteam knows the system.

Damn crazy! I love all these theorys and stuff.

Same here. It's quite interesting to try and figure out the system. We won't probably ever know anything for sure, but we can try.

Who the hell do you think I am?

I agree, the title system is very interesting and actually quite fun to try and figure out.

My friend doesn't believe that having a linked gamertag to his Bungie.net account effects his title that much, if at all. I explained to him that it actually effects his title tremendously and that he should link his gamertag if he wants to get a base title anytime soon. He won't believe me, so would anyone mind proving me right or wrong? Thanks.

I don't know what proof I have to give. All I can say is yes, it most definitely does affect your title.

Well, the gamertag I have linked probably does not help at all because it has no history of halo. I can not link my main account because the email has been locked for ages.

A few months ago, when this account was linked to my Gamertag, I had Legendary. I went back down to Heroic when I unlinked my account, and I have yet to regain Legendary, despite being significantly more active than I was while my account was linked.

Unlinking it lost your Legendary. If you want it back, I suggest you link your GT again. Omarrchr is right on this one, whether or not your GT is linked to your account highly important when it comes to your account's title.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

I still haven't hit at least Heroic Member. D:

Oh wells. I guess I have to keep posting in threads.

Yeah, that's basically it. It seems like you'll reach Heroic soon if you be more active on the forums.

On an unrelated note, I would like to thank everyone who gave me feedback on the problem I had. I will be sure to show my friend that I'm right and that he should link his GT.

This is only a theory, this could be total jibberish so don't quote me on it!

Posted by: Achronos
the rating isn't relative to every other user anymore, it is a fixed scale, i.e., get X trust, get A title, get Y trust, get B title, etc.

The trust rating already includes elements of game participation.

If that were true then how come there arn't a lot more members with base titles and why would members loose their title once they've gained it?

I think its about time Achronos made another post in this thread -.-

Is this where I go to complain about my flickering title?

Really, though, although I'd love a new system less based on beer pong and chance, I just don't think it would be a Bungie title if it weren't.


What are you switching from?


Between having Heroic and not.

Something I just noticed, upon looking at the first page on the Flood, I noticed that this guy was an Absent Heroic Member. If my memory serves correct, Shishka also had Absent Heroic as well, correct? How often does that happen? Seems pretty weird to have the absent prefix and a base title at the same time. Is there a reason as to why that happens?

You could of received a lower trust modifier or trust rating as a consequence of a metric changing...

Here are some useful reads:
Posted by: Achronos
Each user has two numbers assigned to him - base_trust_rating and trust_modifier. They are calculated by examining the history of your account and weighting each data point by a certain value according to a formula that nobody knows but me.
Posted by: Achronos
Trust is calculated daily.
Posted by: Achronos
Join date is one of the metrics used.
Posted by: Achronos
Regular positive contribution is rewarded. Sporadic lurking is not.
Posted by: Achronos
Saying the trust number only takes into account quantity and no quality metrics is not accurate.
Posted by: Achronos
You lose trust for having bans/warnings as well as being inactive. Bans/warnings also leave an extended "mark" on you that fades away over time - the longer the ban, the longer it takes after the ban is over for your trust rating to recover (we're talking months, not weeks).

Agreed... it'd be nice, at least, if he points out which previous statements of his are now incorrect.

Nice find, I have not seen one of these for awhile. It is very rare indeed.

Trust count is determined by much more factors than how often a user signs in, although inactivity greatly effects your trust; so it is completely possible to have a base title and the absent prefix, but rarely happens (or, possibly, is merely a phenomenon that's rarely discovered).

I came, I saw, I conquered. On my quest to become Mythic. So all can be jealous of the amazing blue glow from my title bar. =) ~BlindChild~

You know what... If you're moderately active, I give you four days to a month or so.

Ah, I see. Just a question, has anyone ever seen someone with Absent Legendary or Absent Mythic, or has it just been Heroic that has been seen?

Now that you mention it, I swear I saw a Absent Mythic member before.
