Qft. More awesome changes can always be added later. Anet seems to prefer to leave things broken/unfinished though, and then after some more time come out with the most awsummmm thing evar. Which might work for upgrades and such, but not when something is broken.

Just make it possible for my characters to get max Sunspear title should I choose to do so - talk to guy at rez shrine, get points for killing stuff sounds simple enough.

Lightbringer title(s) seem to be way too much grind - 2 points per, bad grind situation for those that did not use exploit. Not sure if making it more points per kill or much larger quest rewards would be better or making some repeatable quests.

Anyway, fix please.

Impatient? I think 2 months is plenty of time for them to of come up with a simple solution and let us get a bounty from the Desolation like we could before Castellan. So please, stop been a prick, it had nothing to do with you.

impoc · Feb 02, 2007, 09:01 AM // 09:01

yes, but watch them tie it into "hard mode" somehow

Hengis · Feb 02, 2007, 11:45 AM // 11:45

I must admit that this one puzzles me.

I thought that Anet had capped the Sunspear title track to prevent an in game advantage to those that got it. However, there is nothing currently in the game that having the max Sunspear title would give you an advantage with. (Unlike Lightbringer, where having rank 9 does give you a very minor benefit over someone with rank 8).

Unless they are intending on introducing something into the game, perhaps another new explorable area, or mission, where having this title gives you some in game benefit, then there is no reason what so ever that the level cap cannot simply be removed and the priests give you the blessings at rank 8.

freekedoutfish · Feb 02, 2007, 02:57 PM // 14:57

Aslong as the solution is anything BUT more endless farming of points, then Im all up for any solution they create.

But FTLOG, dont make us farm for the points still. Give us an alternative way to earn them. I and others, do not like endless grinding and farming the same area over and over again.

Amity and Truth · Feb 02, 2007, 03:07 PM // 15:07

Yeah, post SOMETHING and watch it turn into a flamewar on Guru. Nonetheless: Should? It's such a fricking easy solution. Just readjust the limit on the sunspears in the Desolation and let the title grow.
But something tells me this title will still be stuck at 8 when we're all allready playing the next chapter.

Dougal Kronik · Feb 02, 2007, 04:52 PM // 16:52

They should have a bounty in the RoT that gives you 1 SPP per kill.

Navaros · Feb 02, 2007, 05:23 PM // 17:23

The "limit" on this title should never have been put in in the first place. It's a bad idea just like "attribute refund points" were, which got removed from the game.

Who cares if you can max the title by farming - almost all of the titles other than explorer and protector are maxed by one form of farming or another.

No need for a "new" way to max it.

They should simply remove the limit on the title - let priests give blessings to anyone who doesn't have a maxed title. End of story.

tommarrow · Feb 02, 2007, 05:42 PM // 17:42

The issue is it should have worked as intended from the beginning. When it was found out it was broken it should have just been fixed. Simple as that.

MegaMouse · Feb 02, 2007, 05:53 PM // 17:53

I vote a big YES DANG IT.
I pretty much have given up on Elona and its wastelands more due to not beign able to max the Sunspear title. And for the moment I will not e going back. I will stay in Tyria where it is truly fun to kill things without worring about "points" or "bounties".

Incorrect. The Sunspear title DOES give a benefit in PvE.

Sunspear Rebirth Signet
Resurrect target dead ally at your location with full health and 10% energy for each Sunspear rank you have attained. This signet can only be used once per mission unless recharged by a morale boost.

It's better than Rez Sig at R3, it's awesome at R9.

Sunspear ranks also earn you Hero Skill Points.

It will come.

How do you know that. "Alternative access" for elite missions in Factions was supposed to come eons ago, yet it never did. Ditto for "trade improvements". Hence just because something is said to be coming, does not always mean that it actually ever will come.

Maxiemonster · Feb 02, 2007, 06:35 PM // 18:35

Change this to "Poll: Should we all stop playing Guild Wars if Anet doesn't fix the Sunspear title?" and I'll vote, because this is just too obvious.

Get that update up already, just change it so it's possible to get, easy or not, I don't care.

Maybe hard mode will give us the ability to gain blessings from sunspear scouts again??

Gli · Feb 02, 2007, 07:21 PM // 19:21

If they won't allow us to get to Spearmarshal, can we at least get castles to take care of? That's what castellans do...
