The updates section on the wiki says it they've added a rank beyond Spearmarshal.

Did they add any ways to achieve Spearmarshal with this update?

Still no bounty from the scouts.

Would like a proof that there is in fact a next tier after spearmarshal.

Ask someone who used that AFK farming bug to get Spearmarshal.

How come you still can't get bounty when your rank 8? They aren't going to make it so u have to AFK farm to get rank 10 now are they?

I think it's so those who AFK farmed it don't get a Max title for KOABD or PKM

But i mean what about the ones who farmed it outside to get to lvl 8...Are they going to allow us to get bounties again to get to rank 9+10?

Probably only in the upcoming hard mode.

LoL if that even gets fixed... How are they going to implement titles into missions?

Yes, Gaile said earlier today that max Sunspear and Lightbringer titles are related to 'hard mode'. She didn't specify any further, so not sure if this hard mode is the same as that which involves the Protector/Guardian titles.

I doubt she spoke of Sunspear and Lightbringer at same time concidering the Lightbringer title was never bug/struck.


On topic, I too hope the Sunspear aquisition will be implement soon, and i think the new track in it is only to prevent old afk farmer to remain with a not anyore optainable title.

And subsequently to screw with anyone who didn't farm max it.

Indeed, though she did mention both titles while chatting today (as she also did here). Perhaps she mistakenly thinks Lightbringer cannot be maxed.

Either way, something to do with 'hard mode' according to her and, from the sounds of it, hard mode won't be coming for a while.

Well dang Sunspear was one title I was going to max out, guess I can stop trying for that now.

Sigh. And for those saying spearkmarshell is afk'd. Not the way me and a few others did it.

I wonder if "Hard Mode" will mean doing the mission in a PUG...

I posted the info in Wiki about Spearmashal no longer being max, and yes, i'm quite mad about it. I sat in a single zone killing three paragons in a carefully orchestrated manner for five hours, and this afternoon went from 8/10 titles maxed to 4/10 (Three protector's plus Spearmarshal). Incidentally this has been fixed, but I'm still at 7/10 without my Spearmarshal title.

hm so, from this update, is it now possible to get bountes after castellan?

and on a side note, if this is a-net's way of fixing the problem they have dont a most terrible job if it. We arent concerned with the TITLE and the look, we're more concerned with the AQUISITION of the title. What's the point of it?

It's like wagging a peice of meat in front a dog, then breaking the dogs legs and putting it on a table. (its cruel but thats the only way i can describe it )

You're pissed off that the exploit you abused now doesn't count? Why, because you'll actually have to earn the next level? Yay you.

Why do I suspect that if there wasn't some sort of reward added in Hard Mode you'd be complaining about that as well?

You can't anymore. There were a few that abused an exploit for a while to reach the max title at the time. Same way many abused a Lightbringer exploit.

So what was it then? A design flaw. Which was abused. Ergo an exploit.

well my spearmashal is gone but there are no changes on skillhunter. very dissapointing

PS: Spearmashal couldn't be done afk. You had kill rezzing mobs for about 5 hours without a break. (easy for a max title but not THAT easy)

you'd have to stay in a map for hours (aprox 5) killing mobs rezing each other.

Can be call an exploit.. but then how you call a designed unmaxable title ? a joke?

Sucks to be exploiters... and yes, it was perfectly possible to afk farm (i.e. exploit) Spearmarshall, until Anet plugged that exploit. By then, however, these folks had got the title. Search for it, people were even boasting about it and detailed the method that was used.

Wow. I want every Lightbringer and Sunspear title nulled, because of those exploiters. It is unfair, and thus no-one can prove they gained it legally. Null 'em all!

Gaile actually called it a "feature", i dont think it was intended, but its certainly not an exploit.

Mendes didnt do any work, he just leeched off my pro worming skills.

Please explain how killing 20,000 or so monsters is exploiting.

After the first 50 or so masks I decided to keep them for people like you. I have given away 20 or so shards, used 10 myself and sold 5.

You reckon they'll ever add more PvE skills to these title tracks? I mean, the title track and ranks were a cool idea, but getting just one skill at the very beginning makes the ranks less exciting. Maybe something like, if you achieved the highest rank, you could summon like 3 level 20 Sunspears at a res shrine, recharges with a morale boost, elite. Its one thing to have the title, but I want to FEEL like a commander of an army. The Sanctuary was so cool, but once you leave Kourna you don't feel like a sunspear anymore.

Skill hunter can not be currently maxed either. Seems painfully obvious that there were future plans for the titles. But I guess Anet not confiding that information directly to you means the end of the world is near.

I hope they do the same to Lightbringer title, one more level for max it, indeed, the exploit for make Lightbringer title easy, was far worst than the Sunspear one, no?

IMHO, too little to late. I stopped caring about sunspear and lightbringer titles long ago.
