From Guild Wars:
Quote:
The higher ranks may seem daunting at first, but you'll also receive greater rewards of promotion points as you advance in the game. Each time you collect a bounty in Kourna, for instance, it's worth four promotion points instead of the one point you'd receive in Istan. Although the "scouts" you visit in Istan are all near resurrection shrines, that isn't true later in the game. When in doubt, check your Mission Map (opened by pressing the U key) to verify the location of the nearest scout.

Is this something that was newly added or will be added? Has anyone found any place to get sunspear points that aren't by the Shrines? Furthermore does this mean they will give out the blessings past Rank 8?

No? It just means that there may be point givers that aren't near the shrines.

From a 100% cartographer, no there aren't any NPCs away from shrines who give extra points (aside from quests). Later on you get priests at shrines instead of scouts, which would explain the bit bolded out. Past a certain rank nobody gives hunt/kill bonuses and you can only get them from quests - it's possible this is a bug or something for the elite mission when it gets implemented.

But that fact that no one has mentioned them before makes me wonder if its something that will help us get past rank 8 easier.

When are the updates?

I think that there should be a fun PvP game where you could earn points ^^ I've just slayed 400 insects to get to general...

That article on Lightbringer and Sunspear titles was apparently written by someone that has never even played Guild Wars before. Or atleast it seems this way.

You cannot take anything in it as fact right now.

Timeline? Well, maybe there will be something under your Christmas tree wrapped in ones and zeros: Codified Christmas gift, anyone?

Seriously, it would be more accurate to say we’ll have the update ready “in the next few months,” to allow the team flexibility to take a bit more time if that means adding even more cool new content and features.

Yeah I was wondering if the Nightfall team is still working on the rest of it (the update) or if it's the third team they have for events and such. If it's the NF team, then would that mean that Chapter 5 would have a development time of less than 12 months (maybe around 8 or 9) as a result? In Magic:TG we called this Cumulative Upkeep. I hope that's not the case. If it is the third team, then who's working on the Winterfest event?

Cyber, the "teams" are a lot less rigid than that. Remember that at different points in the development cycle there's more or less use for concept artists, writers, physics programmers... Presumably anyone who's not currently in crunch mode can be diverted to the live team for things like this update.

Less irrelevant speculation please. There are also a few Scribe threads already. Closed.
