With the ageing Bungie.net population and the already high number of Mythic Members, I think that we need to implement a number of new titles which are (see edit) than Mythic Member.
It's not as special being Mythic when pretty soon members who registered in 2008 will be given the title.

Suggestions for new titles and general discussion is welcome.

EDIT: These new titles would need to be added between Member and Heroic, Heroic and Legendary and Legendary and Mythic.
We shouldn't have anything higher than Mythic. (There is nothing higher than Mythic)

The title system isn't supposed to show who has been here longer, or who "has put more effort into the website", it's supposed to show how trusted they are.
This so-called trust rating means nothing to me. I will determine how trustworthy a member is myself.

I'd rather call it an Investment rating. What I want to see is how much a member values this website by looking at how much time (since joining) and effort (posting, groups, linking GT) they have invested in their Bungie.net account.

This is why member titles mean so much to me, because this is what I see in them.

And yes. I'm guessing that I'll be Mythic by 2011. It really isn't fair for the 2002-2006 Mythic members.

Hmmm. . . I can't really think of anything.

I agree. Even though im only a Legendary, i feel mythics are no longer as special as they once were.

Idk on new names,but its a good idea.

:D


What's beyond Mythic? Epic Member? EXTREME Member? Ancient Member?

  • 04.03.2010 8:14 AM PDT

The legend lives on.

Hypermnesia n An exceptionally exact or vivid memory, especially as associated with certain mental illnesses.

Sapphire.

I agree. Mythics will be too widespread.

All it took was a stew of whoopass.

If this could be possible. it would add more fun to ranking up through the member titles. But just one random question, what's wrong with us '08 members? :(

Positive vibes.

Wait so do you mean that they should just keep it at a Mythic Member instead of maybe a Fabled Mythic Member or Exalted Mythic Member?

New titles would be cool to change it up and it will be cool to make mythic even harder to get.

No. The prefixes are fine and should remain, but the base titles should be increased to say, seven (from four).

Nothing, it's just that the title should be reserved for those who have been around for much longer.
See, join date aside, we have had more experience on here through the highs and lows. We know more about the community, we know more people, we are part of an elite club, the Mythic club.

2008 members (an all other members) are part of an elite club in their own right, but not part of ours, in my opinion.

If they were to increase the amount then we'd have to throw out the current naming system. Currently all the ranks pertain to the different difficulties of the game and it would seem strange to make it so four of them pertain to the difficulties while the new three do not.
If they were to change the amount of titles it seems like they'd have to come up with new names for all of them to make it truly work.

I agree but I think the highest title should be Epic with a black title bar, preferably with a red frame. It should be given to pre-2005's and people who have managed to keep the mythic bar for a certain amount of time.

Like this.

And if we cant have new bars then atleast give us title frames. Skip the prefixes and let each prefix be symbolized by a color in the frame instead.

I don't approve of titles at all, but since we've already got some I see no reason not to add any more.

Maybe slap in "Ancient" somewhere?

I don't know, what exactly lies beyond "Mythic"? "Godlike"?

"Fabled Demigod Member" would be pretty cool.

"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me."

The title system is in place to indicate the levels of trust, not to distinguish those that are new and old. However, some people want to be different than everyone else and unfortunately this is the only way they can think of. Not knocking you Skib, but I just think there are other ways to distinguish yourself than a title.

Personally, I find the quality of what people post more important than what title they are.

True, but wouldn't you say someone here as long as Skibur might have a higher level of trust than me? I've been here for just over two years (and three days) and there are some people who have been here a lot longer, but eventually we'll all have the same title.

It's like the level cap in H3. All 50s have different amounts of skill and knowledge. Not that they need a higher title because they're better, but they do probably know more.

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

I'd much rather have it be something you could choose... What were they talking about in the latest podcast, commendations? It'd be pretty cool if you could use the ones you earn as titles (if I'm understanding what they are correctly). It's not really something that you could wave about screaming "I'm better than you," it'd just show your style of play.

Obviously not everyone would have Reach or a linked tag, but it could be one of a few options. I'm just thinking out loud though and I have no idea what I'm talking about.

That would actually be really cool. I'd like to see an option to use forum title, Reach Rank, or Reach Commendations. Maybe have it so it is always the color of your forum rank, but the text is interchangeable.
