Possible changes to LB and Sunspear (coming soon...maybe)
drakun01
YAY MONDAY! But I cannot play until wednesday...=(
I agree with Vitis.
The Skill cap title may be viewed as a grind, but it is the difference between that and, say, sunspear that make it special. It shows that you traveled, and saw everything there is to be seen, like cartographer.

I'm one of those people with LB rank 1 henchwaying himself to ~and killing~ Abaddon.
LB Gaze is highly overrated, besides its useless in 80% of the NF, which is 1/3 of whole GW. So LB Gaze can be used for less then 7% of the game...
I really dont mind if you guys waste your time farming LB points.

They'd better not touch the max for Lightbringer (unless they're decreasing it). 50000 LB points just isn't attainable without AFKing it while you still could with the current bounties of 2 per demon. Any higher will just be moronic. Either way we're relying on information Gaile said... Gaile talks bullshit in the hope it will keep the population happy, i'd be surprised if we actually see anything worth mentioning on Monday. |

So, it's Monday...

Give them time to actually get things together to post it all up. Don't expect them to have the update ready the moment it became monday at midnight last night.

In this thread ive seen multiple times that "OMG they are finally giving us info and addressing this, shame its only 5 months late..." comments. so as i said, now the pve and pvp communities have something in common.
I will still bet you money they address the precious LB/Sunspear titles before the AT's come into play....

If you don't want to 'grind' for titles, good on you too. But don't turn around an complain that you should get the same thing that other people have worked for, or that the titles should be removed since you can't get them without work.

SP points are useless after getting enough to receive SP rebirth signet but LB is quite useful in RoT and DOA as you deal 5% damage with each rank in LB. NO?

I am waiting for him to come up with some creative way of saying that it is not just the title that he cares about, while saying that the title is all he cares about.
Take PvP, there is no real argument for having the favor restrict access that makes logical sense. It is all based on the premise that, without consequences that affect thousands or even millions of players, then those people fighting their hearts out for Favor are basically.....dueling eachother for nothing? What's the point then? Favor would be toothless and therefore less meaningful.
Same here. People who exploited the bug early for LB points of course are going to object on others having just as easy a time. Oh yeah I forgot, NOONE on this forum POSSIBLY did THAT.
Thx!

Endging game without it, now that is something on other hand.

Meh,anet lied again, monday is almost over and still nothing.

Unless you completely ignore LB bounties and Vabbi quests, you should have LB 2 by the time you hit the Realm of Torment. Not having LB, IMO, is laziness.
Of course, LB 3 or higher isn't required. But the point still stands.

Since everyone always likes to blame the pvp players for "Whining" so much, this is why.

But yes, I agree. At least we can cry together, oy?

They need to specify timezones when it comes to dates.

Well, if my calculations are correct, it must be roughly 20h40 at GMT 0. However, even if they don't announce anything today, one more day isn't gonna make a world of difference imho.

Why would they specifiy a timezone? It gives them till midnight at GMT -12 hours. They're probably trying to find more ingenius ways to completely screw up the Euro server again.

I did have problems having to grind for sunspear general for canthan and tyrian characters to qualify to do "And a Hero Shall Lead Them", but Anet has since fixed that.

Hey, guys,
As it turns out, information about Hard Mode will be forthcoming tomorrow. We had a couple of amendments to make that involved providing an expansion of the lead designer's comments about this future update, so we need to hold the notes until tomorrow.
Sorry for the delay and thanks for your understanding!

- 1 million gold + 10k minutes for drunkard
- 1 million gold + a few hours of solid clicking for sweet tooth
- 10 million faction donated for the Luxon/Kurzick titles
- 60k fame for rank14 (we don't even know how much rank 15 requires)
- 10k chests or gold items identified for max treasure hunter / wisdom titles
- 1 million tickets won for Golden
- 100k games lost for Wretched
Seems like a title that can actually be maxed by playing the game, albeit only in certain areas. Time wise, it probably is only less time consuming than the protector and cartographer titles to max.
And don't say that it should be easier to max because it gives gameplay advantages. Gaining rank 3 (and even rank4 ) is quite easy, and once you're hitting 4 or 5 enemies per mob, you're probably not going to be missing many, if any at all.
[edit]Ooh, I was so excited to hear about it today...ah well, I waited a week, I can wait another day.

Sweet tooth, Well, Few mins of clicking...
Well, Personally, AB is fun for me, but zoning and constantly killing some monsters isn't.
The Fame title if probably unmaxable.
10K golds are easy. so are 10k chests. one of the easiest titles ever.
Luck and unlucky can be AFK'd. Easiest title ever.
Um, But where the hell can you max EITHER title by playing the game? Sunspear title is unmaxable as of now, and I've got to kill over 5000 baddies to beat the game? Wow...
