What is taking them so long? Its 2 months since the release of Nightfall and not a single solution to rank 8 Sunspear been the dead end of the title has been seen.
How hard can it possibly be to sort out? And if they have a reason for not doing it 'just yet', what the f*ck is it? Because it sure as hell isn't a good one.
So when are us Castellans going to be able to get Spearmarshal?

I JUST read on Guildwiki that priests and such will stop giving us contracts at rank 8.
Which sucks, but I'm still happy I got there. Just a couple hours ago.

Gaile said they had a new idea. There is a huge leap from an idea to see it programmed and ready for TESTING, and then to finnaly go to live servers. Don't forget they're also working on the completely new GvG and 1v1 (HERO BATTLES) automatized tournament system and ladder.

Does that mean i have to do something more tedious than return the habitants of the Desolation to the afterlife over and over?

It means you can expect a solution by the time the next chapter comes out.
I'd love a quick solution though, I hate seeing a title that I *can* max out, not maxed out.

btw you cant get r9 anymore, you dont get sunspear pts for rezz'd monsters now.
Dragonious
God am I glad that I got mine early though I sadly have to farm 43k more LB points lol.

r9 SpearMarshall will probably be something annoying like a quest/area that you are given after you have beaten the Elite Mission. It just seems too easy to get otherwise.

I don't know why they have to make such a big deal of this. The simple solution would be to allow npcs in torment to give sunspear points for kills. Not being able to max a title is just plain stupid. Especially a worthless title like sunspear that just sits on my title bar unmaxed and doing nothing.
Former Ruling
They said its pushed back because they are rethinking the progression and uses of the titles, or some BS like that. (Which means when they do update it, it'll likely not just be a way to get Sunspear Marshel level, but a revamp of the title :\)

Would like this title to start my Kind of a Big Deal title...

Well just think atleast your rank8 at something

It will come with the same patch as the promised alternative access method to the Factions elite missions...

Most people I talk to, or puggers I join up with in groups, aren't even bothering at this point. It sure would be nice to have more people with built-up LB Gazes for some of the missions, but I can't really blame them for not wanting to bother with 2 pt-per-kill LB hunt nonsense.
They should make it at least 4 pts per kill, or maybe even 7 like the Sunspear title hunts in later areas.
FWIW, the Sunspear title is pretty much worthless after 2500, and now you only even need that one if you're using an Elonian-native character. That raises to 7 per kill in later areas, but Lightbringer stays at a lowly 2. 2! Yay - let's speed-level a useless title while keeping the one that actually matters in the endgame slow as molasses.
All in all, I'd be satisfied if they just sped up the progression of the LB title. Don't really need those "final" levels or whatnot.
Count to Potato
probably when all the other pvp updates wiht the tournament gvges, the wintergreen weapons and all the other things are implemented, so will spearmarhsall (Mid January???)
ValaOfTheFens
Castellan wasn't very hard to attain. Spearmarshal looks like it will take longer than my interest in NF can sustain. *lol* They'd have to make areas where priests gave you blessings worth 15 or more Sunspear promotion points per kill and it would still take an ungodly amount of time to attain.

Max Ranks for Sunspear/Lightbringer -- As it turns out, the designers have developed another cool idea that may tied to the max titles. Trust me, this idea is cool (and something that has been requested). So, the max titles will not be in Friday's (12/01) update, to allow time to consider how this new concept will work out. One or both of the max titles may simply be enabled in a standard update in the near future, or the max may be offered a bit later, if it is tied to this new concept. As you know, we're always looking at ways to add to the game, and let's just say that this week's update will not be the last one that we see -- not by a longshot! |
Mr_T_bot
The addition to be able to max out title is supposed to sound like some special gift to the players instead of a late fix to a problem that never should have been in the game in the first place.
natuxatu
Still while they come up with this "cool new idea" they could still let us progress...
Menzoberranzan
I like "cool idea", I just hope it won't be something too high endish.

Unless they change the amount required for Spearmarshal, or add more ranks. I was actually expecting the title to require 100,000+ to max out before NF was released.

Lightbringer on the other hand... the max bounty is 2... leaving us to slaughter 25000 enemies under the bounty. Why the hell are the enemies in the Domain of Secrets ranked bountywise equal to the enemies in the Domain of Anguish!? The last time i checked things in the Domain of Secrets didn't hit for 200-400 damage without breaking a sweat.
I couldn't care less if they boost the title slightly, just aslong as we can actually max it.

why are people defending anet? they have clearly missed something out of a game you all payed for, thats absolutly despicable.
if they cant be bothered to finish their game then dont release it.

I think the "cool idea" is related to a change in how the skill hunter titles work. They're going to make it maxable and individual to each campaign.
And the titles are just for fun really, and don't have a significant effect on the game (I believe you get hero points for each rank in the sunspear and lightbringer titles), so you can hardly say that you haven't gotten your money's worth from Nightfall because of this.

Battlegrounds was missing from WOW at release and announced as a *new* game feature 8 months later
- as opposed to a DELAYED game feature

I got Castellan on my ele, so right now I play my other characters that haven't gotten it.
It's a shame really, since I love my ele.

It's not even as if there's a valid reason for stopping people earning spearmarshall. Oh no, a KoaBD point! That spearmarshall is so much better than me because of his title that I may as well resign now!
I'm not saying that titles suck, because I would like spearmarshall and the KoaBD point - but I would like some chocolate too, and the corner shop doesn't force me through an assault course to get a bar.

(have I mentioned recently how much I hate the Rebirth signet? FFS ANet, you should have given it the same restrictions as a regular Rebirth - energy loss, skill blackout - and made it a genuine cross-class skill!)

I have to be completely honest here. It might just be the worst possible idea that the folks at anet have come up with so far to not be able to max out this title. As soon as I was within reach of this, they pulled the brass ring just outside of my reach and now I have to wait for them to drop the ladder before I can begin my climb back up.
I say we just cross our fingers and hope that they get their a$$es in gear soon and fix all of the bugs in the game. I have noticed a bunch more things that I'd like to see changed, LB rank system included. Hopefully Gaile will give us an update soon.

I hope they make it difficult to get. Its one thing to have a title as easy to get as the sunspear title, but to be able to max it so easily as by just farming in DoA? It's like a free title. To max wisdom you need to get 10,000 gold ids. Thats 50 million gold if you go about it the cheap way and buy them at 5k each. If you actually get it by getting gold drops, it would take years for a casual player. I'm ok with having titles that are easy to get, but not max titles.

I wont hold my breath for this latest "cool idea" as I reckon it's going to be a half baked attempt to try to get more people into DoA as you'll probably only get rewards there.

As long as it doesnt involve the Domain of Anguish,I'll be happy.

Solution:
Give out sunspear points for the first ingame challenge.
Give out lightbringer points for the second and third ingame challenge.
Base it on kills or points.
1 sunspear/lightbringer points for every 1 point you earn.
Sorted. It would alteast incourage people to do the challenges, which have kinda died now.
