So when are us Castellans going to be able to get Spearmarshal?

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.

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.

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.

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

Which, in turn, will have its key feature's completed by (or on) the release of the chapter after that.

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

Good. ANet really needs to raise the per-kill Lightbringer point limit. That damn title progresses waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too slow. It's only 2 per kill even in the Realm of Torment. By the time you get the damn title you can't even upgrade it without wasting a LOT of time doing so.

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.

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???)

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.

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.

Still while they come up with this "cool new idea" they could still let us progress...
