Well it would be nice... my ranger only needs max Sunspear at the moment to get People Know Me.

Assuming the bounties aren't bugged or somet and we still don't get it.

Well the whole thing with the double Lightbringer points should be that way already in some areas. Instead of just the 2 points in some areas, it which places like DoA should carry at least 4LB points permanently.

Otherwise the other stuff like Hard Mode is great news indeed.

Looks like it's going to be a busy weekend in DoA and Doman of Secrets!

I know I've got my work cut out for me...*grabs calculator*...

I need about 32,000 LB points for Holy Lightbringer. At roughlt 1,300 points per hour this weekend, Hmmm....24.6 hours to max LB title. Definitely not gonna happen this weekend, especially if the weather's nice.

Chances are that Hard Mode will have vastly accelerated LB gain. (especially if HM will be based around it). I predict about 10 LB per kill, 20 LB during weekend.

ranger buffs? whoa, seriously? more buffs on an already overpowered versatile class? between b/p and trappers, it really needs MORE buffs? I guess they can't quite clear hard mode DoA solo yet....

How much do you want to bet it’s kept at a decent rate of 2LB points like normal mode? However if what you say is true, I would be a very happy camper.

At the very least, certification allows ANET to say that Guild Wars does run on Vista, so that people running Vista will know they aren't buying a game that won't run on their computer. Remember that Vista has been having a lot of compatibility problems with various programs, so if your running Vista and get a program without knowing if it will run or not its your own fault.

Well, this should be a nice weekend. I have been holding onto this skill hunter title for a while, and I'm glad to see it getting changed. However, I like wearing my Elite Skill Hunter (5) rather than Kind Of A Big Deal (1) or Prophecies Skill Hunter (x). I would rather they create 3 new titles and leave the current one.

Since Gaile said Hard Mode would introduce easier gain of Sunspear/Lightbringer points, I am willing to bet 10k that we will gain at least 4 LB points per kill (8 during the weekend) and I'm guessing the Sunspear points will still cap at 7 gain, but we will be able to get bounties in Hard Mode after r8.

I'm hoping to god your right. I then also hope sum1 will come up with sum weird build that every1 can steal, btw it will be a 2 man build, to farm one area over and over and then every1 will have max titles in no time. GG

I think it will be more worth going for the lightbriner this weekend. If in HM they will still be max 2 for LB and 7 for SunSp., then i'd rather go for the more grinding one. I made sunsp. r8 with no effort at all. the LB however...

Absolutely, a lot easier to get to 30,000 by the seven ss points per kill than it is to get to 50,000 by two lb points per kill. RoT will get farmed to death this weekend.

RoT? I think it can be much easier to get it farming in vabbi. mobs don't split there and are by far easiser. same LB gain too.

I don’t know I like hanging out in “The Hidden City of Ahdashim,” for those lightbringer points. It’s more feasible to me. Of course I can just imagine how hellish that place will be in Hard Mode.

I got a question....Will nightfall be the only chapter to keep the LB+sunspear titles? cuz if thats true, RoT wont be farmed.

My guess is that Sunspear will remain a NF only track with all areas @ 7 points, possibly 10.
However, I'm guessing that LB will be available on all campaigns and have 4 per kill. We'll see...

Sunspear and Lightbringer is a Nightfall mechanic, it would make no sense to allow people without NF to use it.

1. Sunspears come from Istan. How can you be a Sunspear without going there and being recruited?
2. There is no point in having Lightbringer outside of Elona.

Vanquisher might to an equivalent for the other campaigns though.

Fingers crossed that Hard Mode will generate a positive success!! We'd just have to ignore the 'clevernesses' saying that it's too hard... You can just imagine the inevitability of such comments happening...

Oh wait, Hard Mode isn't even out, and ppl are already complaining about its difficulty. Funny. :P

It is entirely possible that torment creatures could be in the old campaigns now. Who knows? We'll have to wait a day or two more to find out.

The only place Hard Mode will not be is Pre-Searing Prophecies. It will be in all 3 campaigns and throughout all Explorable Areas and Missions.

I think it would be stupid if LB + SS titles will be achieved also in the first two campaigns also. Sunspear....Istan. Lightbringer....NF. Keep it there please.

A cookie cutter that can cover all 3 continents? Give me a break you loony.

Besides, logically, the difficulty will scale up the further you get into the game.
