Alright Community, time to have "the talk" (title bar feedback/expectations)
How important is a title system for [b]YOU[/b], in the next iteration of bungie.net? First off, we know that titles are returning [i]in some form[/i] at the conclusion of this beta:
[url=http://www.bungie.net/en-US/View/community/blog/News?aid=10130][quote][b]Posted by[/b]: Bungie
[b]So, where’s my Title?[/b]
[i]It’s all about you, isn’t it? Please remember that this is a test. The public beta for Bungie.net is a chance for us to work out the kinks and collect some feedback on how we can make things better. That means we’re not finished rolling out all the bells and whistles. [u][i]In time, we'll be celebrating and decorating the long-standing members of our community. Your legacy will be honored. For now, you are anonymous crash test dummies; so rev those engines and aim for the wall[/i][/u].[/quote][/url]
In the previous title system from 2007 - 2013, we know that titles are based on a variety of sorts. While we don't have the exact measurements (it's all a secret!) we do know many theories and speculations from [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=27942208]Duardo's title bar thread.[/url]
[b]The previous formula was based on: [/b]
[quote]-Daily Activity over longer periods of time
-Joining/Participating in Private Groups
-In-game participation to a degree
-Linking you Xbox Live Gamertag to Bungie.net profile
-Account Age
-Ban/Warning history
-Other hidden factors we don't know about[/quote]
[b][i]But now[/i], we have all these new additions to bungie.next that may help in assigning a new title.[/b]
[quote]-Likes/Dislikes
-Muting others/Getting muted
-Number of Followers (or number of followers to groups that you have created?)
-Private Group/Public Forum Participation
-[i]MUCH MORE DIFFICULT[/i] to become "banned"
-New ways to connect to your Bungie.net profile
-More hidden factors we won't ever know about[/quote]
The point is, whatever the system is, I feel that these new elements will play a key role in the new system. I highly doubt that it will be very similar to the previous system. We all say how radically different this current version of bungie.net is to the previous one. I expect the titles to work the same way.
[b]How many "tiers" of titles should there be?[/b]
[quote]-Bungie Employee
-Forum Ninja
-Master Forum Ninja
-Member (Member)
-Level above member (Heroic Member)
-Level above that (Legendary Member)
-Level above that...(Mythic Member)
-EVEN MORE ABOVE THAT (Mythic Member+++)[/quote]
One argument I saw quite a bit was that members who have been here 4/5 years are in the same category of those who have been here 8/9/10+ years. Should there be an extension for those long standing members?
[b]THE BOTTOM LINE/QUESTIONS TO ADDRESS[/b]
[quote]-How important are titles to you in your bungie.net experience?
-What changes would you like to see made to titles?
-What did you like about the previous system?
-Since it's much more difficult to become banned, should title requirements be more strict on time/activity?
-Should there be a title system at all/or an option to "opt out" of the title system? (just for you Recon)[/quote]
Now we discuss titles and what changes to expect. The floor is yours community!

1 ReplyProbably just a simple thing next to our names like the current titles are for employees and ninjas. I hope they don't go back to Heroic, Legendary and Mythic. - I don't think titles are vital to our forum experience, but they do offer incentives for some to not be a jerk. But we need other ways to give waiting to our account that's not just a nice hat. - Not many changes really. Just make the titles simple. Like I was saying just a small thing next to our username like the current titles are. - It was a nice feature to the site. It should you who's been around for awhile and has kept within the rules. The system was great at first but slowly deteriorate due to the large traffic of the site and it just becoming outdated in itself. - It's hard basing someones titles on time. Time doesn't really mean much, it's all about activity. They need to do some significant tweaking in terms of the formula. I have no idea about this sort of thing, so I'll leave it to the professionals. - I think there should be some sort of title system or some sort of system that adds visible value to your account. I couldn't careless if I had a title, but I know for some out there it's a major bonus for them and it keeps them active. So I think titles are a good thing. Why not,? There's nothing wrong with having an option to 'opt out'. It would satisfy both parties. I don't really know what to expect, but the webteam would have learned from the past title system and I think they know what they have to do for this one.
