This suggestion is about the drunkard title track. I know that it's only 1 title out of a dozen (even more) but I find it "disturbing" that I cannot exactly see when a minute expires and what level of drunkness I'm on. I know that I can check the level through the changing screen effect, but it's a bit hard to tell, not to mention if the post process effect is turned off you cannot tell at all except from the shouts your character makes. Also consider that some players turn the post process effect off to see more clearly during fights while they are also progressing in the title track itself. I know that I can follow the expiring minutes through the title bar in my hero panel, but it's a bit hard doing so while playing and fighting waves of mobs. I know that it's possible to just stay logged in and keep drinking, but that takes long and my attention off of other things I'm occupied with. And also makes the whole thing boring on a long term. I suggest you could add a skill icon that would show up on the effects monitor interface showing the expiring minutes and after every minute it would change the number of level that is also displayed on the icon. Similarly to the case of icon used during the pirate event and the icons that show the level of the spear or the urn (in factions) when the mouse rolls over them. The bar would show the end of every minute by decreasing and lowering the level by 1 upon reaching 0%. Then it would start over from 100% going to 0%. A number would show our current level from 1 to 5. Just like the HM mode icon, but the bar decreasing instead of increasing. I heard multiple players saying they would like to see the drunkness level more clearly. I don't think solving this issue is really a problem since there are several other icons working in a similar way. As for the design, a mug of ale could be the symbol on the icon. But anything suggesting being drunk is good. This small addition would make gameplay and getting the drunkard title a lot more comfortable for players who actually play and do not have the time to just stay logged in and stand around drinking.
