    I think it would be nice to have in-game titles based on your achievements :D just from forum titles i imagine many weird or fun things to be known as :3 eh.. everything sounds better in my head! i'm not what more to say about this.. herp derp.

    I completely agree :DD. I'm all about player diversity, so even a free text title would be awesome. Color the text based on the rarity of achievements.
    Nothing too fancy here, but something like these:

    Ser [Player] The Sticky - White text for a free-text title that the player can input.
    [Player], Destroyer of the Glitch - Green text for common achievements (Kill 25 Glitch)
    Pioneer [Player] - Blue text for slightly more challenging, yet easily obtainable titles, like leaving your first world for another.
    Elder [Player], Keeper of The Dusty Scrolls - Gold text for very challenging titles, like learning or crafting one of every item.
    Vanquisher [Player] - PVP Titles
    [Player] The Fancy/Brave/Insidious - Quest based titles would be purple.
    [Player] The Squishy - Funny titles from being the victim of unfortunate events (Die 100 times, Meet an extremely interesting end, etc.)

    Personally, I rather like the idea of "Ser Essyx, Master of Bacon"

    I think this would be a great idea too haha because title are something people like to work for kinda like achievements but able to show them of. :)

  4. Achievements are a great Idea. But it seems far what Tiy said in AMA about Steam, they are more inclined to use Steam Achievements than add them in-game itself. :rolleyes:

  6. I was just about to suggest this! I think in game titles would be neat too. I feel that with Starbound there's a good chance for really off the wall titles with varying degrees of difficulty.

    They could be a nice icebreaker or a good conversation piece ("Lol, how'd you get the<King Dodo Wrestler?> title?").

    I thought they could work off quests? Like once finishing the tutorial you can get some form of 'title'
    Later on this could get cool like killing x number of tentacle bosses would give you a title.
     
  8. Yeah, or like for killing a boss with out taking any damage, or barrel through a dungeon to it's "main" chamber or loot chest/room in a quick amount of time.
