I would really like to be able to change the titles on our over 25 characters, just once...
Yeah, I'm hoping Valiant can get a Title change, since He's "The Legendary Unbreakable", but I would like to set "Unbreakable" as his badge without it sounding redundant.

I was just about to post this question before I saw this thread... I'm really interested to know this as well.. Will my lvl 50's be getting access to the new Vet Reward Titles?
Pretty please?

Well, in the past "token" has typically meant that you get another chance to change something for free.
Issue 16 made me feel like this.

Level 15 characters will also have a whole new set of titles that they can add to their character name. Simply visit any Trainer and check out the new titles that are available.

Thats what I am asking, Are they giving out "tokens" so you can change exsisting titles? If you read the above qoute, thats the little bit of info on the Vet rewards page when it comes out. All it says "Level 15 players recieved new new titles" and not "You also will recieved a free (costume, example) token"
I was wondering about this as well, since I too have already chosen titles at both 15 and 25 for my main. Would really suck if you can't use them because you had already chosen your titles...

I'd be very disappointed if all my characters over lvl 25 don't even get the choice of using one of the new titles.
My Main is The Valiant Valorous Vault with Valorous as the badge I have set....
Even if I got the token I'd never use it. V For Vendetta's got nothin' on me.

No, no no. Cookies are the wrong way to go. You're talking about software programmers and developers. You know...nerds. CRYPTIC NEEDS WOMEN!

Anyone curious if they are giving us the ability to change titles as well with free costume tokens and respecs? I have several characters I kinda want to change the titles but I can't since you only get two chances.

I always opted against using these Titles since they were more or less permanent. Based on what I've read in these forums and what people have told me in-game it just seemed easier not to lock myself into any of them. Most of them never really applied to my Alts anyway, or at least not well enough to be permanent.
While I'm glad the Devs have added more of these as Vet awards for those who like them, for me it would have been a better QoL change for the Devs to make Titles changeable whenever we want. Had this been done I might have been motivated to use them in the first place.
As an alternative to Titles I have /settitle binds attached to my costume slots so whenever I switch costumes I have a different badge name act as a personalized subtitle for that costume. This is more flexible for me at any rate given how many badges I have to choose from.

Every time this comes up in the suggestions forum, I suggest that they should be freely changeable, or at worst with an influence cost.
God I hope that change comes with I8.
Yeah, freely changeable. I dont care if it is by lev, by influence, by vet status, whatever.
I would like to see these things changeable from time to time...if I can change costumes and badges, why not be able to change that type of title.
PLEASE PLEASE
I have to use a permanent change just to get "The" out from before my name of a lev 8 toon when the time comes. It sounded good at the time

Well an INF cost for a Title change seems most appropriate. Kinda makes sense given what the Devs have always wanted INF to represent in this game anyway and it would keep people from changing it every 5 minutes which -would- be a little silly. I could see it costing 1 million INF as a reasonable requirement. This would make Titles changeable if you really wanted but also make it a non-trivial thing that you wouldn't do all that often.
Given that we've been asking for this almost from Day One I don't have much hope for this anytime soon.
Just another one of those things...

Well I'd think it'd more scale along the lines of the Difficulty levels with Hero Corps, personally

Like costume costs? Yeah whatever you want since this isn't going to happen anyway.

Scaling would be preferred, I think. After all you get your first title at 15. Next to impossible to earn a mil at that level.

Oh I've got plenty of that for a whole army of forumites. 
Anyway I threw a million INF out there because it -is- supposed to be a deterrent. If you have to wait until level 30+ to change a Title that's supposed to make you be "really" sure that's the Title you want.

The title system is flawed to begin with. You can't choose a level 25 title without choosing a level 15. Whats up with that? You actually have to choose a blank 15 title to even get the options to show up. And you can't get that back if you keep the 25 title.

That's pretty much another reason I never bothered with Titles myself.
Clearly the whole idea was a little half-baked and needs a few more minutes in the oven...

Why have a deterrent in the first place? This was the original scheme behind the costume costs, now they give out free costume tokens when the wind changes direction. My heroes have enough costume tokens to tile a bathroom floor. Why does it really matter?

Again it doesn't really matter.
As I pointed out several times eariler no version of this will likely happen anytime soon.
As a hypothetical I'd -accept- an INF cost if the Devs felt it needed it to get it implemented.
Clearly unchangable Titles was an oversight that we'd all like to see changed.
That's all that does really matter.
