How does status and titles work?

[Sigunn]

<p>Could someone please explain to me exactly how the status and title system works?</p><p>I have never been very anxious about the title on my coercer, mainly because she dies a lot and I would get a heartattack if I cared. But recently I have gotten a few kills, Brell knows how, and I have noticed strange things happening.</p><p>If I an in a duo, and we kill a duo that is yellow to us. That makes me earn faction, which means status points to me and my guild, right? How come I sometimes get 2000 status, and sometimes 17? (This is duo vs duo I'm talking.) I am Hunter atm, so its not that I have a very nice title and kill someone title-less - that would make sense to me, that I get less status from such a kill. But its not the case.</p><p>And the title. I get Slayer, and then we kill about 7-10 ppl. Small group vs small group, maybe me in a trio killing a solo sometimes, but generally nothing too unfair.  Then I solo and die to a full group which is yellow to me. HOW can I lose my title for losing ONCE to a full group? </p><p>How does it work?</p><p>/Ramborg</p><p>70/102 coercer of Venekor</p>

<p>I assume you are familiar with the what title goes to what so I won't just repeat that.</p><p>SoE has never provided the formula for infamy, however, from my own experience it runs something like this.</p><ul><li>You gain infamy when you kill or participate in killing someone with your title, one above or one below your current title.</li><li>I believe the amount is based on the damage you did to that target</li><li>Groups gain infamy slower, infact much slower. Perhaps the infamy from a kill is split equally between the whole group and whoever is eligible (as above) gets some and the rest is wasted, or the infamy is split between all those eligible in the group.</li><li>Solo killing someone with a similar title (same, one up or one below) grants significant infamy.</li><li>Killing someone with a higher rank seems to grant more infamy than a lower eligible title.</li><li>There is no evidence (as far as I'm concerned) that killing a green or orange give more or less infamy.</li><li>You seem to lose a set amount of infamy whether you die to a group or a solo (so long as someone is that attacked you is eligible)</li><li>People have speculated <i>diminishing returns</i> for imfamy. The higher the title, the more it takes to get to the next.</li></ul><p>Consequently the hardest titles to keep are champion and dreadnaught due to a far higher number of these players. The hardest title to get is obviously Overseer. </p>

Titles work like this...For everyone you kill you lose 4,000,000 faction points.For every time you cliff dive to preserve your title you are banned from ever PvP'n again and are given a nice little home on one of the blue servers.Hope this makes sense.... <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
