HB Removal Aftermath - Guild Wars Forums

I have heard that your title will be frozen and if you had over R1 (Commander) it will count as part of the KoABD title track. Will they simply freeze the title and keep your rank, do what I mentioned above, or will they completely abolish the title?

I didn't hear anything about it being added to koabd title would like to see a link to the proof on that. As for the title itself, it won't be abolished just frozen. The ladder will freeze and as for the Hall of Monuments, if you have the statue for Commander, you cannot get the statue for Sealed deck title and vice versa. So might as well enjoy the last 3 or 4 days HB has left in existence.

It'll be frozen. From Linsey's August 28 devnotes:

Gaining points in the Commander title will no longer be possible. You’ll still be able to display it, and it will count in the Hall of Monuments and towards the Kind of a Big Deal title track.

Quote:

There will be a new title for this new format [Note: Sealed Deck]. This title will be the counterpart of the Commander title; either will satisfy a single requirement towards the Hall of Monuments and the Kind of a Big Deal title track, but not both at once. It’s a one-or-the-other kind of thing.

Whoever started that rummor: congrats!

If your commander title is MAXED it will count towards KOABD, but rank 1 aint gonna cut it. I wish people would stop spreading this misinformation and use their brains x_x

Divine Ashes · Oct 20, 2009, 06:00 AM // 06:00

Also, as far as I know, the contribution towards KOABD shouldn't have even been mentioned as Im pretty sure nobody has maxed the title.

tw1tchdp · Oct 20, 2009, 06:12 AM // 06:12

closest to max i've seen is r11 but only 1/4 to r12 lol. i'm glad to have 0 commander points.

eazyduzit · Oct 20, 2009, 07:27 AM // 07:27

......I would so /wrist if I were them.... Seriously.... All that hard work just to get skeeted on the face by Arena.Net. IMO... aNet should compensate and do like a x2 points type of thing once HB is removed... r11 comm is quite impressive just to be thrown aside.

uzumaki · Oct 20, 2009, 01:13 PM // 13:13

holy schit r11 commander is redonkulous, that's 50 wins a day or so since the addition of hb (not including double point invents)? Too bad they wont have enough time to max

i'll be sad to see hb go ;<

xxx wraith xxx · Oct 20, 2009, 02:17 PM // 14:17

saddest thing ever is that Siva Yuga also is the #5 on the ladder now...he aint even that good of a player as he linebacks nearly 24/7 or runs around using random wastrells... yes this comes from some1 who has beaten him. Anyway no1 will ever max Commander title...Anet knows it so instead they should make R11 max instead. Cause that way its fair to Siva but its also the most AWSOME title-name EVER!

Work? Not really, more like resigning and rolling a lot, because anyone who played this title couldn't possibly have it this high... This title is a complete joke, and I feel bad for players who enjoyed the format and actually *played* their title (not rolled, not RR'd).

No one deserves the maxed commander title...

Xolotov · Oct 20, 2009, 02:42 PM // 14:42

All the information I posted came from in game, which was a terrible source for information. I had to ask, figured the r1 = max KoABD was nonsense.

Eragon Zarroc · Oct 20, 2009, 03:31 PM // 15:31

Master and Commander, gg. Someone should check his chat logs for long, inhuman hours of '/resign'

HawkofStorms · Oct 20, 2009, 08:35 PM // 20:35

R11 is no worse then say... Legendary Defender of Ascalon.

Yea... Because I am sure it takes a WHOLE lot of "/resign" to be 5th on the ladder. Not to mention a whole lot of "/resign" during ATs to get 252 QP.[/sarcasm]

The RR is designed NOT to push someone up the ladder. As Red is always the highest rating and loses rating by resigning, there is no way you can increase your position.

This doesn't mean that HB tournament "blue" players haven't purposely forfeited matches to push someone up the ratings. This is the main reason that ANet is doing away with the format - too much cheating.

Came across this on main website

The Codex Title

To accompany this new game type, we've introduced a new title track for Codex Arena: the Codex Title Track. The Codex Title replaces the retired Commander title from the Hero Battles format, but still retains its counterpart in the Hall of Monuments and counts towards earning your Kind of a Big Deal title. What does this mean? If you've already achieved the maximum rank of Commander, you won't be required to achieve the maximum rank of Codex to earn or maintain your Kind of a Big Deal title. If you haven't achieved ranks in the Commander title, you can work your way up the ranks of the new Codex title.

For those seeking to fill out their Hall of Monuments, we've introduced a new Codex statue to add to your collection. If you achieve Codex rank 3 or greater you'll receive the Eternal Codex Disciple statue to place on your Monument of Honor in the Hall of Monuments.
