Legend: Can I Get Title Please?
(TLDR at the bottom for those who want to skip the rant...)
I think it’s time there was some alternative way to earn a legend title.
I’ve been a long time player (1st time posting though). I consider myself an end game player. I’ve completed a lot of the difficult game content. My roster is decently stacked and I’ve maxed out a couple of “god tier” characters along the way. But, the one thing that keeps eluding me is the legend title.
Try as I may, I’ve just never been able to put up a fast enough time to qualify. I’ve read many guides and tips for speed runs, but alas, even Corvus and full suicides haven’t gotten the job done.
I have no problem with the speed runs as a way to obtain the title. I just don’t think it should be the ONLY way. One problem is that the speed runs usually take between 3-4 hours. With a full time job and other real life commitments, it’s not always easy to find several uninterrupted hours to attempt a run (especially since runs usually have to be done within the first two weeks of new content being released).
The more I think about it, the more I wonder why “legends” are only determined by completing content at break neck speeds. To me, being called a “legend” should be tied into accomplishing something impressive in game.
The potential solution is pretty simple. Recognize players who have done impressive in game feats with a legend title. The game already keeps player stats. What if reaching certain stats automatically qualified a player for “legend” status?
Some examples:
Reaching a total base hero rating of a million.
Winning 100,000+ fights.
Completing 10,000+ quests.
Being Alliance War MVP 200+ times.
Having a PVP win streak of 300+
When you think about it, you have to dedicate years of play to accomplish most of the above examples. To me, being a “legend” in this game shouldn’t only be reserved for doing content quickly, it should also be able to be earned for putting up the kind of stats that reflect years of committed playing.
TLDR: The legend title should be more accessible. Playing the game for 3-4 straight hours, hoping to make the top 100, shouldn’t be the only way to earn the title. Reward players who have reached certain statistical milestones with a title, because doing something like winning 100,000 fights seems much more deserving of “legendary” status.
‘Nuff Said.
