Why does it take so long to get to sunspear general?

Why does it take so long? Isn't it the most boringist part of Nightfall?

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that everyone in the world needs instant gratification and that being forced to earn or wait for something harms your delicate psyche.
Lyssa forfend that something on this game forces you to participate for longer than 3 days before it's all complete.
There are things in this world that used to be referred to as "Long range goals". this happens to reflect that.

Wtf Its A Monk
it doesnt really take that long.....if you are on the mainland every kill is worth 4 points....i personally used it as a time to get all of the avatar elites for my dervish

It seems to vary in difficulty between people. Some say a couple hours, along with quests. Me, it took about 20 hours with the quests. A definite help is getting blessings from Sunspear Scouts, and, later, Wandering Priests, so you get points for killing creatures along the way.
Also, do a lot of side quests. I did these mostly before going in to the primaries and I was always (except with the first couple ranks) there or ahead of where I needed to be.
All in all, it took me about two days to get to general so I can't complain it's too hard as there are only a few more ranks left. Even in leisure playing I could have them inside a couple months.

yeah I did the same DvM did, took me 1.5 hours (had 150 points when I got the general quest). Most boring part of my gw experience t.t. shame, because the rest of the game is awesome.

I put my Ele into the boat, advanced to the sanctum. there I went hunting the critters and did the quests surrounding the sanctum and earned the general title in roughly 3h.
4pts. per critter killed accelerated things

And I only kill the 2 groups in the North, and the big bunch to the south, then warp back in and repeat.

Bounties...stack on as many as you can. If you get enough you're gaining a promotion point or everything you kill more or less. Takes no time at all even with casual play.

LOL
Sorry, but the sunspear title is the easiest title to get in the game, and you are complaining about how hard it is. PFFTTT

just do quests and kill stuff along the ay just as you would be doin without the title...
does it look hard just because there is a progress bar?...

LOL - There is always something to complain about! Cracks me about the trivial things people can find to moan about in a fantastic game! Getting any title is part of the game - enjoy it, play it, game with it - just please quit the complaining!
Well done ANet - loving every minute of the game, even the hard bits!

took me precisly 2 hours to get to general using Scrolls and Priests in Kourna... All heroes were at lev 20 by the time I reached Vabbi. SO quite frankly I have not clue why its taking you so long unless you are not using the priests... And if not well.. then you didnt read the text inthe game very well then did you?

My quesiton is a bit off topic, but i don't want to open another thread about sunspear title. I reached sunspear castellan(7500 pts) and now none of the priests want to give me those hunt "blessings"(unfortunately i can't get even the lightbringer one also). Do i have to make some progress in the story? From which area will this "hunt" available again?
thx in advance

I got all the hunts in marga coast and cleared the area. Didn't take too long.

Sunspear General is quite easy to get. It really doesn't take too long, if you are playing the game through normally you should be fairly well on the way to reaching before you actually need it for the primary quest.

Just stack the blessings and clear out the instance. Clearing out Arkjok Ward gives almost 1,000 points if you're lucky, for about an hours work. It helps to have all the shrines on your map.

Only bad part about some of the areas is all the space between mob groups. It ends up being alot of runing, runing, runing, runing, runing. I dunno, just attaining the lightbringer ones seems like more of a pain to me.
Thorondor Port
90 Elite skill caps took me weeks
Friend of luxon/kurzick also took as long
rank 6 (fame) took MONTHS
rank 7 sunspear, like 5 hours, but if you really wanted to grind it out It could be done in an hour.
Yea, that was brutal, im defiently quitting this game now.

Getting to Sunspear General is nothing compared to the next title..Sunspear Castellan...7500 promotion pts.
You don't have to grind it out like you would in a Grinder MMO, do the quests, do the hunts on the way, and then farm and hunt like mad if you're still not there.

This part of the game is soooo boring. I spent about 5 hrs getting to the rank of Sunspear General. I cleared out Marga Coast a couple of times.
I am currently playing NF with my Tyrian monk(my main char). It's a shame bcos i doubt i'll bother making a Dervish or Paragon now and i really wanted 1 of those chars. Can't be arsed to get Sunspear General rank all over again

i really dont see how it is that hard for people i just cleared everything out and it took me a little over an hour and a half to get general, im on the castellean now and i have brave lightbringer just by killing everything multiples of times that the easiest way

Do you do quests? They often reward with Sunspear points. Just do some quests while using the shrines on the way. You'll get the points in no time, with teh added bonus of character development to keep your interest.

Get a gang of Dervishes together with CoP and the three Mysticm AoE skills and viola you can clear that place in seconds.
