I love dragonriding. It makes traversal so much more immersive and interactive, though I do hold space for disabled folx that hate it.
But the rewards for nailing Gold on all these things are mediocre as hell. ESPECIALLY the titles.
No one ever winning a race, IRL or fictionally EVER, has wanted to be called “Ace” or “Racer”. It’s silly and unsatisfying verbage.
Literally anything is better, and Ill list just a few:
Pilot
Rider
Olympian
Speedster
Sprinter
… ,the Bolt
Competitor
… ,the Dasher
Medalist
MUST I GO ON!
The title should communicate the achievement at a glance, but the current dragonriding titles are lackluster AT BEST.
And this critique is literally the easiest fix ever, so cut me some slack and give me an upvote yall.
The title for all golds should have been Maverick (but putting the word Maverick first though), Top Gun would have worked too but maybe the lawyers wouldn’t like it lol

If you make a character called Rothstein you could be Ace Rothstein. The character Bobby DeNiro played in Casino.

What about Speed Racer? Or Racer X? They didn’t mind being called Racer.
this is an opinion piece presented as factual when it’s not.

I love the pvp title I got from dismounting others while dragonriding.
“Skyscourge.”

I like “Ace” better than pretty much everything you just listed.

If you’re unable to finish a number of races before the expansion ends, you get the name “Goose”
Is this a rule somewhere? Because that’s what ace pilots were: the best.

Olympian
This isn’t the Olympics.
