I know this post won’t be for everybody & that’s cool, please no snarky comments. Just wondering your opinions… Not that any of this matters granted, it’s just for fun. This is my end-game. What’s yours? Or what’s your proudest Protrait, Insignia or Title you’ve earned?

Oh come on, you can’t ask what the impressive ones are and then say “no snarky comments”.

Base portrait. No title. No insignia.

I wouldn’t say “proudest” because I don’t personally believe grinding for pixels in a game is something to be proud of, but I use the [bullet portrait frame], [HM Twins Insignia] and the “Nomad” title for my character because he is an ex-Tallarn and I think it fits him well.

Although I am perfectly comfortable with my ego and an all-around incredibly well-adjusted individual, within whom is an entirely intrinsically fulfilled soul… lol 
I am currently chasing the portrait you get for 1,000 revives as that’s the best match for my Ogryn!
I got no other bedazzlements, portrait-wise. Haven’t decided which insignia, but I know if I had the Karnak hard mode it would probably be that!

Anything with purity seals, mainly. Titles don’t have purity seals so no titles.

Fair enough. Be as Toxic as you want.
Sure, you asked for it!
imagine not having 1m kills before they nerfed the penances so the poor plebs could get their shiny skull portrait

I feel that pain… Because I too earned that million kills as well only for it to be 500k. That was a huge mistake on their part now more noobs have it. It’s not even that impressive anymore. That’s why I rock “War’s Not Over (5)”. You can cheese this sure, but with some people with the frame it’s doubtful because most people with it that I was matched up with were actually really good. Some of the best players I’ve played with honestly.

Alas, my main issue with War’s Not Over 5 and other portraits is that they all look the same to me. I can easily look at the Hazard Hunter or Skull Hoarder portraits and instantly know what achievement was earned to get that bling, but I find it near-impossible to tell the difference Flawless Execution 3 or Up and at 'Em! 5 or what have you at a glance.

Yes, that is a good point… it’s crazy that one of the hardest frames in the game in my opinion is green lmao. What I mean is that you have to clutch like 150+ times to actually get War’s Not Over (5) roughly, so it does take some skill to get those revives on higher difficulties. Literally, I was like level 500-600 before even getting it that’s how long it took me lol. Most people won’t even understand what the Frame is because 1. It’s rare from what I’ve seen. 2. Not many people wear it to identify with it. But… If people watch Darktide Youtube of course ChocoB wears it & He’s the most popular Darktide guy, so maybe some people will know this & maybe identify that with him? Who knows lol. Good rant!

You are correct, it was toxic. It was misdirected toxicity and I apologise for using your thread to vent it.

A lot of stuff used to be impressive for what was available (1 million kills RIP, I was so close before the nerf…) so now everything just feels like you pick whatever fits your build theme now.
There’s lots of ways to abuse Karnak Twins, even on secret difficulty. I’d still say that’s truly the only impressive thing to get, which is just an insignia, which no one sees except in lobby and mission end. Hardly anyone has it from what I’ve seen though, so that’s worth something.
Vermintide has all kinds of cool (often FOMO) portraits. Lots of animated ones. Feels like Fatshark is scared to make truly difficult and ‘competitive’ completion or have anything that is only acquired in the moment. Even Helldivers still does FOMO cosmetics but all you have to do is log into the game. Not even maps have unique/specific penances and rewards.

The only one that was kinda hard to get - rescue 500 teammates, the one that you have
But I am not really proud of that one too, to be honest, it doesn’t have some crazy time-limit and any actualy limiting factor. (Limiting factor - something that resets your progress on the Task if you didn’t meet the requirment, Auric Survivor for example)
This is why I think that any Cosmetic that requires some number of things done doesn’t mean much, just that you played a lot.
I wish these cosmetics were more personalized, distinct, and were harder to get, but whatever, this is not something that I think about often and is not really important

I like the blue ones (I have) the best. But I admit to seeing many and not even knowing what they were for.
The one highlighted is my current favourite. I think that’s the one discussed above? And I like the Ogryn knife one “Sneakiest” as that tickles my sense of irony.
Titles are all meh. Ministorium Guardian or whatever it is is probably the most meaningful, though it’s a green. Insignia likewise; there aren’t any really good ones imho.

Yeah this is how I feel about the penance unlock portraits. Like who cares.
That said I care more about having something that looks appropriate or has a story attached so it’s probably just coincidence none of them have grabbed me. I do simply like OP’s bling though 
It would be nice to have more penances that are actual accomplishments instead of filling a bar. Good to have some bars, but there are so dang many… I guess some people are motivated by that, so power to them I guess.
On the other hand, the aptly names “penances” on launch were so abysmal that I should probably put a sock in it!!!

Yeah, I agree you have to pull your weight in that fight a bit to actually get it the Hard Mode Insignia. You can get carried slightly, but all-in-all still impressive for sure. There’s a mod that let’s you see Insignia’s in game as well which is nice too. There’s a mod that allows you see Insignias throughout the game, but i doubt most people have that one.
Not bad at all. I really like the Grimoires frame actually seems a bit rare too somewhat. The only Insignia that’s good is Hard mode one, but other than that maybe Master of War of each class because you have to nearly 100% complete most penance’s to get it. I guess that is something for sure.
I sort of see what you mean, but slightly disagree too. Rescuing 500 people only on Damnation & Maelstrom (Which I only play is a huge challenge if not cheesed that is). You actually have to clutch to earn that Frame about 150+ times roughly. So, I’d say as of now it’s the most impressive. But yes, you just have to been playing long enough to unlock the others which valid point too. I just think this frame takes a bit more “skill.”
