Heroic :)

Congrats, looks good. :}
I wonder when I'll get Legendary. I'm not really worrying about it though, I'm happy with just Heroic.

Does anyone know how long it takes to recover from a 30-day-ban? I was slammed with one 4 months ago and I'm afraid that will effect my changes of getting a higher title anytime soon...
Look at the facts. Your account is only 8 months old, when it normally takes a clean account to reach Heroic at around 1 year. You received a 1 month ban very early on, when bans can take months to recover from for even an older account.

I would suspect that you're not going to get an elevated title any time soon, so please stop bringing it up every other day, as it is off-topic and derails the current conversations within this thread.


You don't have to be such an ass when describing circumstances of the system to him.


I don't think JB was being an ass. As much as the Nerd has posted in this thread he should know enough to not have to ask that question.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

As you waste your breath complaining about life, Someone out there is breathing their last. Appreciate what you have.

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

i pretty much only post in private forums and ive heard that this means i wont get a promotion ever in the public forums, is this true?

  • 01.17.2010 3:44 AM PDT

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Try posting twice a day in the public forums before you go through your groups. Otherwise no, You title won't improve.

  • 01.17.2010 3:50 AM PDT

WHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? I was promoted to heroic on friday and now i'm plain again!!!! Can you go down for being inactive? I havent been banned or issued a warning EVER! I just dont understand it!!!

I'm not sure if that's entirely true... After I made my account I wasn't active in any forums at all (public or private) for quite a long time. By the time I started, I believe I was Honorable.

Of course that is only if I remember correctly.

I created my account for the sole purpose of linking my Gamertag and getting the Septagon next to my name in Matchmaking. I can't remember when I started to use the forums and I have no way of finding out :(

All I can say is that I hope I'm not you in a few days. Maybe I stole it from you!
It could be possible... You lost it, I gained it.

  • 01.17.2010 4:26 AM PDT

I really have no idea why I lost it. If anything, i've been more active since it has been the weekend.

I remember reading that there are a certain amount of member titles available, so if you and a few other people are right on the border it's easy to lose it/gain it without a big change in your activity.
I, for example jumped between standard and Heroic about 4 times before I started being more active and managed to hold onto it (for now anyway!)

This.

My first username probably went from standard to heroic once or twice a week for a couple months.

Uh. No. He can still get Honorable, Noble, and Exalted. For all we know, he may still get Intrepid and Fabled without ever posting in the main forums. And, I know there is a Mythic member wandering around with less than 200 public forum posts ever.

Please, to avoid confusion, be 100% sure you're right when you post in such a way.

Or at least have read some of this thread, its been mentioned many times before about only posting in groups.

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing when I read those posts as well. I wonder if Achronos was referring to the "Soul Bans" that the Disembodied Soul gives out to people making alternate accounts when they are banned... Or maybe he is referring to an unknown aspect of the system that generally lowers trust on both accounts, if they are linked by some quality (IP address or tracked cookies, I'm not even going to pretend I know how it would work) and one of the accounts has a troubled history?

This post would lead me to believe that the latter is a possibility, but I didn't include it into the link library just because it is way to speculative to say that is what Achronos is definitely referring to in his post.
This post came to mind, i just didn't have it saved. Man, we'll never figure out how all this works.

Hey do you have to be consistantly active to maintain your Heroic Member status?

I think you do, I was active on the forums for like 12 hours as Noble Member and I got my Heroic status back today.

There is not Mythic Member with only 200 posts. Maybe 200 sense the last post wipe, but not 200 total.

I found one and I only looked for about 30 seconds... The point is that you can never say anything about the title system with 100% certainty, because there is always going to be something that will falsify your statement sooner or later.

  • 01.17.2010 11:54 AM PDT

I'm just confused why I'm only Heroic when I've been on this forum for years, which is also obvious by the Exalted status. At least according to the guidelines (Exalted = 3 years no ban, Heroic = 6 - 12 months active).

Intolerance is the highest level of stupidity and inbred thinking.

That is interesting, but there must be some reason why you are only a heroic. Have you been active the full three years?

  • 01.17.2010 12:17 PM PDT

Yeah, Since last April I have 300 posts and I was active way before then. I think they only give you links to your last 300 in your profile.

Well the only thing I can think of is activity. Technically you don't need activity to get the Exalted prefix, you just need not get banned. I could get exalted on my alt as long as I just log in once in a while preventing it from getting the "absent" prefix. I'll go check you PPD. One sec.

EDIT: You have a PPD of 1.12, while most Legendary members (not all, just the majority I have observed) have one of above at least 5. Basically you need to post more of a prolonged period of time. Getting a PPD of 10 for just one day wont help. Try to get and maintain a PPD of at least 5 for a month or more, and that might help.

Again, the question I asked about how long it will take me to recover from a thirty day ban was the first time I ever asked that. And, I only posted in this thread about 7-10 times. Since, you guys are up-tight about me asking a question, I'll just leave (like you all care). Sorry for interupting your posts, and JB, your attitude changed. A lot.

I'm not sure if this was already discussed about in previous replies (I'm too lazy to read all these pages), but what determines a high post count? I'm very active on these forums (25 PPD) yet there is no "Intrepid" or "Fabled" status on my profile.
