I've heard rumours of something called "hard mode" from friends of mine - those of you with your lovely shiney protector titles will notice that you no longer have a maxed title. This is because you need to complete all the missions again in hard mode to gain Guardian of such and such for a maxed title.

The word on the street (or the word on guildwiki) is:

"Maxed Protector titles no longer count towards the Kind of a Big Deal title as another tier has been added. This tier involves completing tier 1 again, but in hard mode instead. (Note: Hard Mode has not been added to the game, Gaile apparently says the titles will be fixed soon)"

So, it's a bug. For now at least. Perhaps in the future hard mode will be added to the game - but hopefully we will be enlightened in a press release or something.

...and I thought that Hard Mode was when you had me in the party.

nah you can't be worse then me WonderCrisp :P

doing the mish on normal mode was bad enough...:P

Hey everyone...White Frizzles here (from SoR)..not sure if anyon'comes here anymore but what the heck  

The hard mode titles are going not going to be in the same title track as the protector's title tracks, Hard mode will be for all area's... like lvl 20+ monsters just outside ascalon. (not sure about that) ANd Gaile Gray (Anet PR mangaer i believe) said it will be out within a month. Missions will be totally different as well as different quests.

Anyways if you wanna know check GWguru or any of the other official fansites. lot's of speculation about the new chapter GW2 and such things.. notsure what's up with GW 2 but it seems they allrdy have plans for it (will be a few years before it comes out etc..

Anyways nice forum. the SoR forum is kinda abandonned.. but if you want it's at:

Thanks Frizz here's a link to Gaile Gray's post on the subject (as well as Sunspear and Lightbringer points) on guild wars guru...

you know Gaile Grey 2?

Not personally, no.

That would be quiet cool though! Maybe we should start some kind of internet radio show that people could download onto say an MP3 device so that people could tune in a listen about our rants about the game. If only such technology existed, imsure Gaile Grey would listen to us.

-_- yeah i doubt it....

lol, if only...
