Ranked only add to titles?
I just won a HB in an unranked game and it did not seem to start me up on the title. It was my first every try at it, and I am thinking that since the update only Ranked games progress you in the title. Laforge 22:52, 5 April 2007 (EDT)

Proof for Rank 11
As seen on the ATS

Poor Photoshop edit, theres a ghost "le" Behind the left bracket... On top of that theres ghost writing all under commander

- Why Should i Fake this?, i just saw this Rank during the ATS! --M u r d o c   14:28, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * One of the worst photoshop attemtps i'e seen lol. In fact i'd guess this isnt a photoshop...technically its a 'Microsoft Paint' lol -- ChronicinabilitY [[Image:User Chronicinability Spiteful_Spirit.jpg|18px]] 01:30, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * i gotta say thats an awesome name for a rank tho =P, master and commander hahahahaha--WikiWu 23:30, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

This section's pretty funny given the later proven results. 173.19.206.223 16:50, 29 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Considering Only one person has reached c11, the picture is fake because the guy reached c11 in the last month of HB. 72.161.65.139 02:36, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It was on the test servers. It's not fake. - Mini Me   talk  13:03, 4 November 2009

Having a Carry On.. film reference would way beat old computer games - why not introduce a rank as "Camp Commander"? (Hag 01:26, 10 August 2007 (UTC))

Cobra commander?
The school International Studies Academy, in Potrero Hill, San Francisco, California (conveniently close to ANet's headquarters o.O) has a cobra as its mascot. Nathan Cox, on of the sports coaches (he coaches three sports as I recall...), calls himself the "cobra commander" when he's not using his real name. So, Nate... have you been working for ANet this whole time? o.O Armond 18:53, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Eh Cobra Comannder, Victorious Commander (rank 2) sounds so much better than that IMO i tihnk i'll stop when i hit rank to just for the awsome rank name. 70.3.46.42 04:55, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Easy Title Farming?
Isnt it just possible for a semi decent player to work their way up the rank system, and then wreck their own rank and start again? this way they will be farming easy commander points right? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:84.64.82.177.
 * It's possible, but they would have to spend a good amount of time throwing matches to get themselves back down to fighting "easy" opponents again. It would probably be more effective to just lose to high-ranks (not hard), and beat lower ranks (also fairly easy). No special methods required for that... --[[image:User_Jioruji_Derako_logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  01:56, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Wing Commander
- The eighth tier is a possible allusion to Wing Commander, yet another '90s computer game or could be reffering to the BW3 commercial where they man calls himself the wing commander -

Wing Commander is also a US Military Positional Title for the Colonel in charge of an Air Wing. Still probably a reference to the game though.


 * "or could be reffering to the BW3 commercial where they man calls himself the wing commander -" Doesn't make a lot of sense and contains no reference.--72.141.146.8 02:26, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Cobra Commander takes 10,800 wins for those interested... just got Wing today, I'll post proof-pic when I can, but ImageShack is down or something atm.71.148.60.186 03:08, 11 March 2008 (UTC)anonymous

Title progression
Is it me or the number of points needed for each rank of the commander title track is exactly the half of the one needed for the zaishen title track ? Ladu 20:31, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, half. Why? -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png| ]] 02:29, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Master and Commander
Confirming the triv that Master and Commadner was an original rank for commander from these links http://wiki.hmssurprise.org/index.php/Master_and_Commander_(rank) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commander Hope this helps MrPaladin talk 20:47, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay thanks! :) I just assumed it was some sort of vandalism because it sounded weird, and out of three contributions that user made the other two definately were vandalism. Thanks for clearing it up though! &mdash; Why [[Image:User Why s.png|User talk:Why Are We Fighting]] 01:35, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * yer me too... thats why I went on a little googling trip and found out some really neet stuff :) MrPaladin talk 12:06, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Final tier?
I wonder if anyone has even Rank 11 yet? If they did, they could see what the next rank is from the title bar... Which is probably Rank 12 Legendary Commander. Any guesses? With the HB removal, it might be that no one will ever max this title, if they didn't yet. :o --Sensei 17:48, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Fairly sure highest got so far is r10[[Image:User Wild rituals signature.png|Talk]]Wild 06:12, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Siva has r11 now. - Mini Me  [[Image:User Mini Me sig.png|19px|talk]] 19:04, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Nice, at least we got to know that Legendary is the last tier. Probably no one managed to reach it, though, or we'd have heard the news by now. --Sensei 11:43, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

removing O.o
ok so if there removing this and ta and replacing them with a 4v4 thingy, then whats going to happen to the titles, are they merging ta and hb...or are they just changing it and leaving the titles?
 * Hi, please sign your comments with ~.
 * The Titles will be left as they are. Think of it as your Survivor Title after you get r2 and die. There'll be a new Title introduced to support the new format. You may display your Commander Title or the new Title in your HoM - not both together. User A F K When Needed Signature Icon.jpg A F K  When  Needed 18:04, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Title removal
I had 1 victory point in the Commander title track, and now it is completely gone. Looks like the title is only kept for those who had attained at least Rank 1, is this worth mentioning in the article?--Sensei 10:57, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I guess yes, it is information. (I am in your case :D) M3G [[Image:User_M3G_Pumpkin.png‎| 19px | ]] 11:19, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, done. Feel free to rephrase/improve. :) --Sensei 11:36, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

More explicit
historical content might be a bit much, but I think we should make it more explicit this title has been frozen. &mdash; Why 23:53, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * agreed. aside from the bold font i'd also prefer a more catchy infobox. &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 23:58, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

HoM statue
I was in the middle of progressing this title when they shut it down. I think that they need to let people with at least tier 1 get the credit for their partial work before it was closed. I also gained tier 1 without the stupid rolling, so it's seems a little unfair. -- Lustre Of Havoc 話 19:39, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

r12
Can someone confirm that r12 is in fact, Legendary Commander? I thought it was Commander In Chief? 60.234.197.191 02:31, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I doubt they'd use a reference like that, and the Legendary prefix is consistent with Legendary Sunspear, but I can't personally prove it. ~Farlo Talk 02:34, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Why wouldn't they? Most of the other ranks are references to something. All other ranks are not consistent with other PvP titles so I would have expected r12 to be something different aswell.60.234.197.191 04:57, 28 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I changed it back to : "is consistent with" seems inconsistent with the level of proof we require for other data in the wiki. Heck, we even require a screenshot before documenting Nick's latest (if not here, then at guru or Guild Wiki). I don't think there's any lasting harm if we are slow posting Legendary Commander as the title; I do think there's a minor credibility hit if we post it prior to the label being confirmed. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 05:22, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Talk:Commander suggests it is Legendary Commander :p --[[Image:User_Chieftain_Alex_Chieftain Signature.png]] Chieftain  Alex 13:07, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
