    Challenge Mode Temporary Titles

    Didn't see them on the front page (or anywhere else for that matter), thought I'd list them for those interested.
    Most of these are guess-work, if anyone finds any mistakes just point them out and I'll edit them.

    Code:
    Gate of the Setting Sun			<Name>, Defender of the Wall
    Mogu'shan Palace			Mogu-Slayer <Name>
    Shado-Pan Monastery			Purified Defender <Name>
    Siege of Niuzao Temple			Siegebreaker <Name>
    Stormstout Brewery			Stormbrewer <Name>
    Temple of the Jade Serpent		Jade Protector <Name>
    Scholomance				Darkmaster <Name>
    Scarlet Halls				Flameweaver <Name>
    Scarlet Monastery			Scarlet Commander <Name>

    Those titles are temporary, meaning you only get to keep them as long as you have the realm-best time for the according Challenge Mode Dungeon.

    Although I mostly likely won't ever obtain one of those I still like the idea.

    If only you got to keep them, i would try so hard for Darkmaster

    They would bring in a LOT of players for Challenge Modes if they made the titles permanent.

    Award titles to anyone who gets gold on the challenge mode and participation rates will skyrocket. I'd quit being lazy and complacent with my silvers on all of them and shoot for some titles.

    Meh... Gate of the Setting Sun sounds so lame. It should have been "Gatekeeper ______" Would be much cooler in my opinion.

    While I see the merit in constantly fighting for the realm best time, I really wish the titles were permanent rewards for all gold times/runs. At any rate, I will enjoy seeing who steps up to the plate on my realm to compete for these titles.

    Do we know how this will play out for groups that form cross-realm?

    We had some RB's back in December, but since then, a few people on my realm seem to have "obtained" carry groups, and now have the RB time on a few CMs, even though only 1 or 2 players in the group were from the server.

    One group could potentially snipe titles from 5 servers simultaneously.

    The fact that these are temporary makes them infinitely less appealing to me. I think it would be a much better implementation if they made the titles a reward for having a time below a certain very difficult threshold. That way the title would still symbolize your expertise in the particular challenge mode dungeon and you would actually feel rewarded.

    PTR Patch Notes state that you need to be atleast 3 people from one realm to be eligible.

    Yeah I wish they gave out rewards for gold medals in challenge modes.




    OH WAIT they do already.

    Ah, thanks.

    So then, lets say you get 3 from realm A, 1 from B, and 1 from C. Do only the 3 from A get the title?

    Seems like it. Its having the best on your realm, meaning the B and C shouldn't get it.

    Are you sure they are temporary ? My understanding when I first heard of this was that the titles were linked to a FoS you obtain once you get a realm best time, thus allowing you to keep it even if another group achieves a better time afterwards.

    These are essentially like the old realm first- except that it changes depending on who can outcompete the other.

    The big thing is that these CAN be permanent- there is a mathematical cap to the amount of time a challenge mode can be completed in, as classes are unable to out-beat this amount. Thus, if one can obtain this time first before others, barring class changes, they have that title for all time.

    You keep the FoS but not the titles, according to blizz, should you loose the top time.

    Honestly, I'm on the complete other side of the fence on this. As long as the title stays temporary, the dungeon stays appealing. I can't wait for the competition between my group and a couple others on my realm. I'll be pissed if I log in one day to see those other jerkfaces with MY title...

    I'm pissed. The title for Scarlet Halls isn't "Hall Monitor _______".

    Going to be nice having all 9 titles. I kinda hope you are allowed to use them on your alts otherwise it would be a massive waste with 5 people having all 9 titles.

    They will likely lose it. What I am curious about is how this will work with virtual realms.

    I think people overestimate Virtual Realms. As far as I understand it it's basically an expanded X-Realm (meaning Pandaria zones are included) and added zone/trade chat, auction house, mail, trade, grouping(eg. current content raids) capability. They won't replace actual realms (regarding realm firsts: Those likely count on the realm the guild is based on)

    - Your characters are still on your usual realm, so there's still that 11 char / realm limit. Although you can create another 11 on any linked realm and mail / trade as usual.
    - If you're realm best on your realm, you'll likely have the title. Nothing to do with virtual realms I suppose.
