Is it possible to at least semi automate a collection of titles?

Go to a bard, and collect all the titles in a readout, repeat for all the bards?

Nothing overthetop, just basic functionality for the few people who want to know their title counts with less dedicated checklisting.

I know that guildwork can track all your titles, but you need to flush with old titles on. Something that can get gather all the old titles without flushing 1000 times to guildwork.

Kinda like how gearswap has export. Just a note++ printout unless you want to get fancy and fix duplicates.

If it exists or can exist it would be great to have.

I assume it's a relatively simple packet reading. Just a matter of relaying it to a listed format. But its not really my thing I could be wrong.

Reading the packet is indeed simple, problem is that the titles in the NPC menu aren't sent plainly, they're sent in the form of flags that say "you have titles 1, 2, 8, 37 and 250", then the game takes care of looking for the actual titles and displaying them into the menu.

So recording the titles would actually require manually associating each flag to each title... and that's quite a pain in the butt.

That data is not useful, because the menu doesn't contain the specific title IDs that you have. It's all bitflags.

Basically in the packet there's an area full of numbers that can be either 0 or 1. If it's 1, you have the title associated to that position, if it's 0 you do not. There's a certain number of these flags, it only tells you "you haz" or "you haz not", says nothing about which one it actually is - the game knows because it's in the dialogue data, but it's a pain to extract. Hence the annoying part to go and associate them manually.

Ok, if that's true, that part also doesn't matter.

I don't want to know which titles, just how many... so a how many "haz's" finder lua.

Right now it's not a matter of "which title matters" just a matter of "how many I got"

later it may become relevant to track specific titles, but a mere count is sufficient for the current task.

I'm assuming this is related to the Mastery rank.

That's much easier to do, just needs a bit of testing to exact position of the flags. Unfortunately I do not have an active retail account to test.

yeah it's about mastery rank, ability to have persons count titles (easily) would be very helpful.

Asking a person to go to 15 different npc's and count manually isn't a reasonable request.

Beware that even if you get me an active account and I write it, the person will still have to go to all 15 different NPCs and talk with them, there's no way around that.

Simply going to them isn't some big task, but writing down a thousand titles is lol

The issue would become overlapping titles

I thought different bards had entirely different sets of titles?

Mostly, but the "Misc" Bards all have title overlap, in addition to zone specific so they can't be skipped

Like selbina could have 20, and mhaura could have 20

10 are the same, but the total would be 30 different titles

yeah, as long as it output it all to one file, it would be no big deal to just delete the dupes at least

Right, like I would be fine with a full print out from every bard and I'll fix all the duplicates for the few people willing to get it done
(til I shoot myself in the *** by saying that and hundreds of people suddenly want their titles counted)

That's annoying but more doable, if you know for sure where the duplicates can be then you only need to account for those, which means mapping out only specific bards rather than all of them.

I fixed title collection on guildwork - you'd have to go to all the bards and get your title set one by one, it won't just read from the menu, but it will collect them all now, even the new ones.

That's awesome, it does require literally 1000 flushes? Or will it auto update. It auto updates when you obtain a new title, but not just for switching titles already earned right.

Still too much work to ask someone to do for knowledge purposes, but great for a completionist.

It updates when you change, no need for a manual flush.

Neato.

Now....... *** idea; Add Achievement points and a total title count on the players pages. No need to scale or evaluate value, just 10 points per title, they'll love it.

New achievement system does ;)

Some people have seen the preview, but it's not quite ready for prime time yet, mostly because I don't have enough free time to debug production problems at the moment and don't want to roll it out until I do

Awarded achievements will give forum titles like the badges do.
I've come to collect my prize



(had to get 1013 for that since bumba and later VR titles still aren't up on GW)
