Giving more use to Forum titles |

So I know my feelings about the semi-new title and heart update has not exactly been unknown to some people however if you don't know, I believe that the titles on here are just very poorly done and deserve a revamp to say the least. There is so much potential with the use of these titles and it pains me to see it wasting away as it is now with very little actual use and blocked behind obnoxious prestige number requirements. So what can we do to improve on a system that has proved to be majorly successful on other forums? Note: I know that titles are only related to the prestige ranking and to encourage people to gain more likes however what I am suggesting is to allow titles to become their own thing instead of just titles only existing to compliment the prestige system. Let's get into the list! 1) Implementing challenges and more ways to unlock various titles. I don't understand why titles are locked behind just prestige numbers as they are now but if the administrator(s) who work on the forum were to just code in some challenges and such for us to unlock new and unique titles, that alone in itself will help increase activity here on the forum for the regulars. A challenge could be let's say; "reach 200 messages on the forum" or "create 10 threads" or even doing something more out of the ordinary such as: "be a forum user for 1 year" and "have a thread receive 10 likes." The possibilities are endless! 2) Contests. One really good way to bring a community together is through a high-stakes contest. We should be able to win exclusive titles through either winning a contest or even participating as long as there is administrative support to back it up. Let people show off these titles on the forum and allow that in itself to create a strong "hype" around contests. In order to bring in more people, you need something that will appeal to all sorts of people and sometimes just winning a fur is not enough. Why do you think the Create-a-Fur contest has so much participants every year? It is different and the rewards appeal to a lot of people. 3) Give titles as rewards. I know this sounds kind of similar to the first point but the difference here is that instead of everybody being able to unlock this, give a specific title to people who've earned it by doing tasks that impress the administrative team. There are surprisingly a few things that you can do that could give you a possible chance to unlock something like this such as: being a DeadMaze tester, joining any staff team, becoming FashionSquad, having your shop suggestion or suggestion implemented into the game, having a set amount of maps permed (my personal favorite) or even being a helpful community member which someone could be nominated for by a sentinel or other community regulars. There is so much more possibilities however I can't think of anymore at the moment, feel free to comment some more down below and if they're explained well enough, I will add them to my current list with you credited. I hope this suggestion gets passed up the ladder even though it is highly unlikely, but as a regular forum user, I just really want to see something happen with this.

I honestly really love this idea! All of my supports here! I feel like the forum could be a lot more active if there's actually things to earn here and the titles had more worth than just, "Oh, you get this title by getting X amount of prestige" (which can easily be farmed as long as you have multiple alt accounts). When the feature first came out, I remember being very disappointed when I found out there was absolutely no way to change your title and it was only earned through the amount of prestige you get... and in order for us to use the titles we earned if this is implemented, I feel we should also have a way to change our title (some examples shown below). There are literally countless titles and ways to get them that the admins count implement, and it would really help with the forum and would make it more lively. My personal favourites you mentioned are the titles for being a longtime forum user (I'd like to see a title for 5-year forum users!), posts, and even the ones for contests and being noticed in a great way by the administrators. I also feel like titles just from helping around the community in general would be great, which would encourage people to be more involved! Edit: Here are some of my ideas on how to change titles-
(I know what title/s I'd use if this were to happen, just sayin'.) Dernière modification le 1514267640000 |

I like your layout ideas! I always thought that you would probably just be able to click your title on your profile page however this adds more depth to the feature and I really wouldn't mind having that. As to the merged titles, I am a little conflicted on this. I wouldn't mind merged titles as long as it doesn't make up the majority and that you still have to earn them on the forum. If I wanted to unlock "The Reaper" for the forum, I should do the necessary things in order to unlock it instead of already having it for free since I have it in-game. |

Ah yeah, I see what you mean by that. We could have the same titles we have ingame, just a different way of earning them. Like, using your example of "The Reaper", we could unlock it by making 1800 posts on the forum, instead of gathering 1800 cheese ingame. |

Lileaus a dit : Exactly -- It doesn't have to follow the same exactly requirements as the title in-game but I think it would be interesting to add an outside element such as this to the forum to expand our title library into something a little more familiar. I don't want every single title to be copied from A801 games however just enough of the popular ones to draw an interest with a good mix or brand new ones too. |

Great idea! But how did you get your titles anyway? By gaining prestige? And how do you gain prestige? Sorry I'm a newbie on the forums. I think that would be a great idea too because it would fun and easier to win titles. |
