    I think we need to know what we're up against (show pvp ranks like before), of course this really isn't a problem for marshals but for others below this rank we don't know whether to engage or run from our opponent. We don't need to know what achievement title our opponent has.

    How about you hit "J" at the beginning of the match and remember names of the people you need to stay away from.

    Strongly disagree. I shouldn't have to click on J every time and remember names. During pvp, we should be able to see their rank. Flag bearers/marshals already have a strong advantage against lower levels. Why should the low levels have a bigger disadvantage than before? Pvp is already unbalanced enough. I thought BP was supposed to balance it. Obviously, we're all dreaming and such thing will never happen. But this title thing is taking the mickey.

    +1 for this one.
    @_Baragain_ , that may sound easier than it is - here in grimmag, we have those russians and greeks with their alphabets which makes it really really hard to remember which one with a crazy name was field marshal and which one was centurion, especially when there are more of those in a battle (and mostly there are).. :(

    Over time you will develop a sense of how dangerous someone is, and what their goals are. Their moves and style will give it away, and you will know in seconds.
    Enjoy!

    I wear a costume in PVP to hide gear and cape. I don't want people to know if I have changed to the Warlord set to take a beating, or am in Witch Gear or Ess set to deliver a beating. I wish I could change my rank to centurion. If there were places on the map to snipe and ambush, you can bet I would use those too. PVP is war, take advantage of what is offered as an advantage, and try to avoid disadvantage. Look at the list and if you can't remember names, at least know there are 3 FB, 1 KOTO and 1 Centurian. The KOTO is a DK, and the cent is a SW.

    Note to self: look for the slow moving SW, and check the DK's armor. Don't go 1v1 with anything else. Drag them to a team mate for support, then stun and flank them.

    I find I have a habit of just assuming everyone has 40 fame and will blow up in my face when they die, so I guess I don't feel particularly affected by this change.

    Uh oh. :eek: -might happen to be that SW-

    Haha, accept you saw me coming with my Cannon Fodder title and busted me with one of your 9k FLIR (Infra Red) Guided incinerates. Hey! her title said Monkey Juggler, I guess I should stay away from her too:p.

    I was just flailing around blindly with that, I swear. :D Sometimes people just happen to move into the pathway of the beam...

    To be honest though, Tegan is such a small server, and I tend to only play during the same times of the day, you pretty much know which people are hazardous to stand near and which ones aren't after a while. So I don't understand the problems of bigger servers with confusing player names. XD
