Spotlight On: Tome & UI Lead Interview

[Aeternis-WHA]

Gaarawarr (WCPI) leaves us with a beautiful parting shot in this interview with Mythic's James Casey, UI and Tome Team Lead.

James: So, what’s your favorite Title?

GG: “the Mighty” because that’s the one I worked the hardest to get. 10,000 Gnoblar kills as a Tank. I mean, I love a lot of them. I love to wear “the Tease” and “the Flirt” while running around… (ed. Lately, I favor “the Sneaky”)

James: I always run around as “the Flirt” but, if I have the time, I get “the Devioblidevannihilator”.

GG: Yeah, everybody loves that one because it’s just this big, long thing. I do have that one. I’m looking forward to finishing my…oh! I have “the Natural Disaster”…

James: Nice!

GG: …which is awesome, for getting all the PQ Armor Sets. People see that one and they’re like “What?” I really need a way for my Title to just be random though, just randomize your Title.

James: That would be a nice one.

Andy: Isn’t there an addon that does that?

I will never ever understand how they missed planning a title for being involved in a king kill. No unlock no title no nothing.

And this is the biggest event of this game which it's based on. So this simple example clearly show us that this department and it's lead guy has no single idea about the game itself.

Shortly if we talk in mmo style its "Epic Fail" for a department which is paid for planning this kind of things.

This and lot's of other similar things in WAR killing the experience for player which leading to mass exodus.

Sorry but i had to write this down because whenever i see someone with the title "King Slayer", i'm once again realizing how terribly this Tome & UI department do their job like giving that title to people who kill a LVL 1 mob in chaos wastes.

Yeah this post may sound like doom & gloom but it's not. This is a way of makin' a constructive feedback by giving some hard facts. I'm constructive and still have hope in WAR so i'm still subbing every month and still waitin for the right steps being taken.

Sincerely_

I need to agree. I am absolutely ecstatic when I get a new title. My guild members threaten to kick me from the guild sometimes cause I get so outta control. Something like

"OMG YESSSSS!"
"... what"
"I JUST GOT A NEW TITLE FOR KILLING 1,000 (Insert something here)!!"
Then I just keep talking about it for like an hour and my guild is just way annoyed lol.

Btw, Are there any plans to put the /duel into action?? That'd definetly keep me re-subbing =D
