Cant Choose Titles After Faction Change


Doctor Wishbone

 

Posted

Been doing some faction changing lately (the long way), mostly villain -> hero, and when I get there, I have no titles. Okay, no biggie, don’t want the good guys running around with “The Sinister” above their heads, I get it. But the trainers won’t allow a change either? And I just trained up a level and even after training they won’t allow it?

Now, I got the level during the final morality mission, so I haven’t done any full dinging hero-side yet. Will titles be available afterwards, or am I title-less for the remainder of my career?

Each alignment has their own set of titles that pertain to said alignment. So switching sides would take off whatever title you had before but only cuz it doesn't fit in with the theme of that alignment. Make sense?

You can still get titles during whatever alignment you are but they won't be the same as what you had before if you switch sides.

Yeah that makes sense but what I’m saying is that I’m not able to choose new ones. Do you guys know for sure if you can later?

Pretty sure my heroic Widow has a title. Checking now.

Edit: Yup, she has a title.

Last I checked, you can't just change them whenever you feel like it. You're only given the opportunity at certain levels and you can change it an unlimited number of times once you hit 50.

It was a while ago that I actually bothered with a title so this may have changed since then.

Yup this changed a few issues ago. 19ish maybe? You can now change it as often as you like, once you've unlocked them(15 for the first column, 25 for the second). I took my main PG from hero to villain and watched his title get stripped when the morality mission was completed, but going to an Arbiter(trainer) allowed me to set a villain title. You might want to petition your instance, because you should now be able to change your title to a Hero one.

Keep in mind that the option has now become buried one level deeper in the Trainer dialog. Choose "Train to a new level of power" and THEN you will see the option to change your title.

Why they chose to do it that way (it's because they added the costume change dialog options, I'm pretty sure) is beyond me.

(And yes, for quite a long time you've been able to change your title whenever you like.)

Well I went and got a level, and it didn’t help. Being level 30, I’m beyond the threshholds to force the issue. Both of the characters it’s happened to were server transfers, I wonder if that has anything to do with it, because now that I think of it, I’ve done changes with other chars and didn’t have trouble.

Oh well, sent in the petition and will see what comes of it. Thanks for the replies!

And you're choosing the option I noted above ("Train to new level of power") and do NOT see the "Change your title" option in that second tree?

I went and checked on the wiki: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Titles

I found this sentence buried in there:

Once your character is level 15, the title can be changed at any time with the command, /title_change. Trainers give the character a chance to chose or change their title at levels 15, 25, 35, 45, and 50.

So although the title can be changed anytime, it can't be done through the trainer except at certain levels?

In any event, give the slash command there a try.

YES! The slash command worked!! Thanks!!!

@Eric Nelson, Yeah, it’s the weirdest thing, all my other characters (and I have a LOT of them, lol) can do it at any time, but for these two specific ones, the option is *just not there*.

At any rate, the slash command was the key and I’m *so relieved*, thanks a ton!!
