I always liked how each weapon had a unique title that went with it after you got it to the zoa level; almost like an extra reward for the achievement of sticking with that weapon for a while.
I was a bit disappointed when i got my halberd to zoa only to see that it had the same title as the axe does - "warrior".
I'm now trying to get a better rapier and am a bit scared it will have the same title as swords do - "duelist" (which honestly does fit the rapier better than the swords).
Are there plans to give halberds their own title? If so may I suggest something like mercenary, paladin, champion, or something? Halberdier would be the obvious choice though.
If rapiers do have the title duelist maybe it could be fencer or swashbuckler? Or you could make rapiers duelist and swords something else.(hero would fit quite nicely for swords)

Zoa rapier's title is 'duelist'. I thought it would be fencer but no, I got 'duelist'.
Really disappointed..

Hi Guys:
To explain, the Japanese developers use the same titles for similar weapons, hence Duelist accrues to both Rapier and Long Sword. The reason we went with Duelist originally is that titles are limited to 20 characters by the DB. Swordsman was our first choice, but it had one character too many when coupled with Grandmaster.
However, feel free to suggest titles for Halberd and Rapier. But each title has to be 8 characters or less.
Paladin and Champion are already in use. Swashbuckler is a great name but too long, ditto Halberdier.
But I am open to suggestions and willing to try to give all weapons different titles, even though it's a little bit of a departure from the original game.
We are also thinking of swapping Grandmaster and Paragon titles. Grandmaster is the highest title for regular weapons, Paragon is the same for silver weapons. But Paragon is never used with another title. Grandmaster is used with Duelist, Warrior, etc. Swapping them would give us 4 extra characters so Sworsdman, Swashbuckler, Mercenary, etc would be available.
What do you think?
By the way, here's a question for the girls and women out there. Do titles like "swordsman" or "spearman" bother you. "Man" is a word that means both male and all of mankind (in other words not male nor female, but both), but I'm curious to hear your opinions.

It sounds long...  Grandmaster sounds cool for those reg. weapons. Paragon sounds somewhat holy-ly. I just remembered GuildWars:Nightfall Paragon VS Dervish  Paragon title would be fine for silver weapons. We just have to think new titles for other weapons.. **If there would be a counterpart for Silver weapons(like Evil weapons  ), make its title, Dervish  |

I was just going to suggest something like this when I saw that sliceofbread had done it for me, thanks! Halberdier was my suggestion, but since it is too long, how about Pikeman? Also, on an unrelated note, is Zorba a GM? Kinda pissed when I found out I'll be the second to get Holy Halberd. |

Yeah you're the first to get the Halberd Dale. I got it as part of our quality testing. Doesn't count. OK. I haven't gotten much feedback--except from Jetsss, Thanks Jetsss. But I am sympathetic to the idea of a new name for each weapon. Here is what we are leaning toward: The Paragon weapon owner now known as "Grandmaster" becomes "Conquering", e.g. Conquering Warrior instead of Grandmaster Warrior. This allows for the following changes: Long Sword title becomes Sworsdman, Rapier retains the title Duelist. Halberd becomes Halberdier. Thoughts? |

I'm VERY happy Halberds got a title of their own now since i was a lil sad at havin the same 'Warrior' title as the axe. The HALBEDIER! XD
Meh... Maybe it's just me, i've always loved weapons like Halberds and the like. Heck i even collect them at home. XD
