Reading the titles menu.
You will earn Protector of Elona once you complete both primary and secondary objectives of all 20 missions on teh continent of Elona. And the title Guardian of Elona when you complete them again on Hard Mode.
Only seems to have been updated on characters who don't already have the Protector title for the continent, also the same for Tyria and Cantha.
It just seems this change isn't listed on Guild Wars' homepage.
Hard mode?

Wait, what?
I wonder how 'hard' the mission will be compared to the original.

You're right - I checked on different characters who are at different stages of the title tracks. Seems if you have Protector already for any of the continents, you do not get the "guardian/hard mode" message for that continent on that character.

The other thing is, how on earth is "hard mode" accessed??
brokenmonkey
Ok.. serious.. we need to straighten some things out.
New Guardian Title- It is not yet obtainable by anyone. (People who had 20/20 before this, and people who get it now.) It has not yet been implemented. I know this because before todays new title I had 18/20 Elona completed, and after the update, I did the last 2, and theres no option for Hard mission, or a new title.
(This is after I got title, after the update.)
Elite Skill hunter Title- Yes, a few more people will get this, and then all 3 and then maybe even get KoaBD, BUT do you not think Anet will add another one after that, for 15? or 20 titles max? (Since there staying towards Anchor Man, I would suggest the title to be "My Guildhall smells of Rich Mohagany.") Lol!
So re-cap, I covered the Elite skills titles, and the new titles.. oh yea, People seriously, you are overreacting.
Brokenmonkey.
Gailes Input..."I don't know, not for a while, but not too long, either. I will check on that and hope to have a more defined answer this week.
It will be cool, folks. It will be optional. Nobody's titles will be devalued, not at all. And no one--no one!--is being forced to participate!"
I justwanted to keep my post all together and organized.

"Hard Mode" better not be a fancy way of saying "time-based hard achievement". Time-based masters/bonuses are the worst thing to happen to PvE missions. All they encourage is a high damage party over any sort of finesse play style.

1000 per spell/per second, - it's still a rather large "OWWWWWWWWWW"
Other thing is; would this "new" title see the return of the pug or kill it entirely??

I'm almost thinking that a 55, or even just a Me/Mo would solo such a boss in seconds.
The tombs shadowform assassin could probably solo it in one or two rounds.

They haven't listed it in the updates section of the Homepage and it hasn't been implemented properly (existing protectors don't see any change), it also seems to be incomplete as there is no way of actually doing Hard Mode.
Basically... Anet buggered something up.
While i'm liking the idea of impending Hard Mode on missions... it's likely that they'll put absolutely no thought it in at all. Like decreasing time limits to achieve a masters or something stupid that will achieve nothing but pissing people off.
If it does include damage boosts (or environment effects maybe?) then the chances are things are gonna start becoming cookie cutter again. Dasha Vestibule is almost impossible without a Broadhead Arrow ranger or a Power Block mesmer. If it misses, chances are the boss would wipe your party in 1 second rather than the 3 seconds it achieved the first time i did the mission...

Dude I feel your pain! I thought that searing flames actually had to have you on fire first to do damage. Whatshisface let one of those fly and wipped everyone but us tanks -_-
kitsune23
Seems like the title change is a preview of things to come. Excellent!!
I'm not sure I see what's wrong with either of those options being favored for that mission. There's nothing wrong with needing to adapt to the challenge at hand.

So like hoe does this work. Do we get an option if we want to do the hard mode thingy or not? What if you wanna help your friend on a mission and the hard mode thing happens lol.

What a pathetic attempt to get people to play the same old boring game over again. Oh and thanks for making all my protector titles that I worked so hard on pointless! Lets see protector titles on all my chars 100 of hours playing to achieve this flushed!
Issac
Wait, so does this mean that we have to beat it in hard mode for it to count towards Kind of a big deal title?
Arwen Shiningstar
My protector titles seem to still count (all the ones I have maxed) but that is not right i dont think. If it does OMG I will have no point to play on
Pan Head
Why cant you go back and get it in hard mode even if you already have it? That is not fair.
Gaile Gray
Yes, what you see is the precursor of something that we are working on for the future. We'll have more to say about this in a while.

I for one dont like it one bit.....I have a few characters that are 1 or 2 missions away from the protector title....now they will have to go back and REDO ALL of the missions for that continent to get the title, while those that arlready have it dont......
.....
seems if this be the case, none of my characters will get the 'new' title....so the who givesaflyingratsbehind will now come into play on this title......aka it wasnt of much use before and I wont redo those missions just to get it when I had already done all but one ......
<sarcasm> good job anet.

When you obtain Guardian of Elona, you will have access to the new Elite Mission, Battle of Jahai 2: Return of the King. The main objective of this mission is to defeat Palawa Joko with some help from Turai Ossa

Ah, hard mode will be awesome! The Nightfall Protector title was too easy to get, perhaps the Guardian title will be a real challenge.

The problem is what happens if either skill misses. You spend your time doing the mission and because 1 skill misses there is a VERY high chance your going to fail.
