Personally consider it should be constant spawn with individual rewards and no guild component. That would bring participation and still apply personal cool down. Hell could even make a player upgrade so individually you can track your kills. on titan screen.

 

Teleport is interesting unless you refresh / 0 at the right time you can even miss the next titan spawn yet see it on a new square that is already vacant.

Pointy is thinking about working on a FSH titan tracker that would show up in the scout tower 3 *it will likely be in scout tower 3 so you can't get away with not using scout tower at all haha*. After he gets some time.

Well since you asked,,,,,

 

(just my own opinion and what im getting from the 100s of players who dont come here to post)
 

"everyone has equal opportunity."

You hear that Penny?? EVERYONE has a equal oppourtunity,,, you just have to buy a expensive system and the best net you can find. THEN pay the $60 for your own teleport 200+ pot. ,,,,but you have the same opportunity XD (tounge out of cheek here,,, making player TKP add up is a equal opportunity,, they guy who bought the $60 pot adds up to the reward that is just as many as the guy who can barely hit 2 times a spawn)

"titans are dying faster than normal resulting in more spawns for more people to have opportunity"

Actually they arent,,,seasonals are going just as fast as they always did maybe a small increase because the nightcrawlers are bamfing around on them trying to get a solo secure,,, which is pretty much all this did,,,there was a bit of a jump before the word got out on the tiny print to the cooldown hunting,, after people realised they lost all the work they put in many gave up, some are still trying to do it just to do it but look above and see how its still frustrating people that they lost all their work to this,,, again please consider changing it.


I've never see titan hunting this active before and honestly i haven't logged in and played the game for this amount of time before
I saw it the first year these seasonals came out,,, saw it with the elementals. Saw it drop rapidly when a few had a monopoly on it then too.

" I understand that you are probably salty because you lost for some way or another or it's not as easy for you. "  

Yes!!!!,, spending a pile of stam to clean up and get a couple thousand tkp on a cyclonis only to find out Surprise!! Its another one of those fine print things that wont even be explained till hours after you already did it. Yes a little frustrated in how another good idea was taken and turned around just enough that the big spenders are really the only ones who benefit and not everyone. Indeed! Back to a quick daily and a fill about once a week,,, again. 

"Im not complaining" sure you did! When you didnt secure and lost all your work you totally complained! Maybe not here but it still sucked for you.

"Every single person in the game has the opportunity to at-least secure one titan if they so desire."
This is wrong on so many levels from the player who doesnt have $ to upgrade to the gal playing on her phone to the one who wont bother to take the time and see if theres a chance to secure,,, but most of all the one who would clean up that 49% knowing eventually he will add up enough to earn his own. When its back to normal and titans sit forever because nobody wants to throw stam away on nothing then it would be a great time to consider letting people accumulate personal tkp

"100 people fill a small gymnasium ,,,,the people complaining are a minority"
You get your numbers from the guy who counted the crowds and popularity polls for the current US president I think. Id love to see a poll on this update


EDIT,,, one last thing, anyone else done the math yet? What happened to "recovering from your last attack" Or is that down to half a second now? Because thats how fast some of those points are being soloed now. 

Last Gospa was hit 85 times a min by the winner,,,, yea thats level 

Edit,, yes of course titan doubler. still way faster than the 100s of others in there.

"everyone has equal opportunity."

 

​I don't see how your misunderstanding. The fact that people are able to connect to the net and post here and log into the game mean's they are just as opportune as the guy over there to go hit the titan. Titan speed comes down to ping anywho. You don't need the most expensive rig or the best internet in town. The cows have cloud seeded servers all over the world for the most part. Everyone's ping should be more or less similar. Internet speed has absolutely nothing to do with ping unless you are getting under ~200kps it starts negatively impacting it but it will never positively impact it. If you have a mega computer your titan might populate on the map ms faster but to a human being that really doesn't help though. We are restricted by the speed at which the cows can send us data. This game is very light weight so they aren't sending much data to begin with. Btw this game was designed to be a computer game not for tablets or phones remember that.

 

"titans are dying faster than normal resulting in more spawns for more people to have opportunity"

 

I mean my only response to this is your simply wrong it's simple math more activity more people the faster the titans are dying and directly impacting the amount of possible spawns each titan has to draw from.

I've never see titan hunting this active before and honestly i haven't logged in and played the game for this amount of time before

 

Who can possibly hold a monopoly with so many entities out there battling you. I don't see any monopolizing going on right now. Tell me what guild is monopolizing lol. We for frank and sue over there with richard even getting the items :).

" I understand that you are probably salty because you lost for some way or another or it's not as easy for you. "

Back to a quick daily and a fill about once a week,,, again. 

Certainly didn't complain i said darn and moved on :P. The hunt was thrilling and i had fun. I lost but it was a great experience. i will admit the cows did an awful job at explaining but i tried to explain the system to the best of my ability.

"Every single person in the game has the opportunity to at-least secure one titan if they so desire."

When its back to normal and titans sit forever because nobody wants to throw stam away on nothing then it would be a great time to consider letting people accumulate personal tkp

 

Contrary to popular believe most of my upgrades come from hard earn fsps not donated fsps. It's possible to build yourself up without donating i am a product of that. You have to be willing to listen and learn and reflect. Once you can do that you can learn so many things about the game. Knowledge is power in this game never forget that. Forward thinking is everything!

"100 people fill a small gymnasium ,,,,the people complaining are a minority"

I was saying now with personal cool downs everyone has a chance to go hit a titan and participate in the event. "leave your guild" ya then see what happens to the game from that point people will mass exodus if they leave their guilds they will find no meaning in the game and leave the game for good. I'm on my last few remaining good good friends and if they quit i'm probably right behind them. I'd like to be able to play the game with my friends thank you. Again thank you for the cows for letting me do this :).

Pennah?? This guy says everyone can play just fine. Actually its really all about that teleport 200 and waiting in line to use yours 

Its not more activity or more people,, players online is 1/3 to 1/4 what it was years ago. Its more active people using this to get more epics. 

The monopoly are the players with a tele200 pot. everyone can see it. 

All upgrades are hard, saying every player in the game could get a titan if they tried is bizzaro world wrong, even more now. What brought me here in the first place you just made my point for me,, let us accumulate personal tkp,, even if its got a huge cooldown, even if the items obtained this way are bound. That is how everyone in the game will be able to get their own epics.

[782/3375] Gospa Perchta (Titan)s killed.  << and this is after 4 hunts on this trying to finish the quest i can be sitting on it and still not get a hit in as someone has already killed it ,fair i think not i have to wait for teleport to reboot and others teleport instantly . There are 9 folks sitting on the village with me now waiting for the respawn and probably the same at the murk stairs .and more than a few have already finished the quest kills .yet still compete with the rest of us who are just trying to finish the kills for the quest before the end at Jan 6  when it all ends for another year ....

With current events irl, I may not be around next year.  That said, I don't care for myself.  I care for the community as a whole.  I see a lot of dissension concerning this cooldown and how it affects the community as a whole.  1 in 5 of you (roughly) sees it as a boon to the game.   I see it as a way for that 20% to profit from the other 80% while saying "na na na!  we got our way to circumvent cooldowns"  I could be wrong, I just call it like I see it.  Face it, the only dog I have in this hunt is a love of the game.  I'd really like to see it flourish till my last day on Earth. All this infighting will deter from this.

 

@Hoof, I know you're trying to keep the community happy.  I hope you're reading between the lines of every post here.

Not infighting i'm trying to come up with solutions and compromises. The more i think about it the quest might need some tweaking. Everything else is fine though. If you think naught please inform me on how it's unfair that every individual now has the same opportunity to hunt each titan at least once a week. You can hunt it with your guild and then your able to hunt it for yourself if you do so choose. Will gladly debate this.

 

For the record i am slightly accepting of a personal tkp cash out system similar to guild tkp cash out system but am not totally sold on this. Sell me on this... Let me know why this is a good idea and let me know why it isn't.

I think we'd all like to know if getting the item for 1st place, whilst not getting 50%+ of the kills, is a bug that is getting exploited while the cows are on holiday for nearly 2 weeks.

 

I'd like to know if the sack you just earned EP with personal kills was bound?  And what is the personal cooldown?

 

I think that maybe the new system is ok, BUT:  I think personal cooldowns for seasonal titans should be extended to the entire season.  ie only one personal seasonal epic can be earned for each titan.  If this was the case then personal tkp should also be accumulated.  Come to think of it -- all titans should only allow 1 personal secure else the market for epics will be down to gold sales very soon.

 

Teleport 200 should be made available via composing.  That way those that cannot (or will not) pay to win can still have a chance against those that throw money at the game.

That's not a bug it's intended. It's been like that forever. The cows know of it. Not bound it's the actual epic you can only gain one of the bound epics through the quest. teleport 200 is insanely op so gaining it from the epic chest should be the only way IMO. You don't have to throw money at the game to buy the chest. it's regular price is around 150 fsps outside of seasonal time.

+ 1. The personal epics players gain should be bound just like the epic quest. This way they can't double profit from getting it through guild secure AND personal hunt.

-1 That would make it way too easy to get a buff that is overpowered at that level. You can still buy it via FSP from the AH

+ 1 The quest is hard because it is an EPIC quest and you get an shiny epic out of it. It isn't intended to be completed within 1 titan spawn.

My opion on Teleport there should not be a pot and just keep the buff at lvl 175 so every one can have a chance without worrying about how many are using a way to high lvl over powering pot to compete in any way on any titan.

If teleport200 is too high powered for everyone to have then it is too high powered for anyone to have and should be removed from the game.

 

Edit:  " Teleport200 pots in AH atm and 266 players online.  Hardly available to all, and as Penny says below the price is 3-400 fsp, not 150.

for 300-400 fsp...  thats $50 - 60 usd, way more than I'm prepared to spend on anything that's not a bill...   Many members of this community are still minors, and have to ask Mom and Dad for this money.  I'm thinking a lot of you forget this...  So ask yourself, what would you say if you were Mom or Dad?  And how about your old grandma in the nursing home?  You gonna pay her rent this month so she can buy a couple of these?

I would vote to remove it from the game, but I don't see that happening. That potion entices people to donate which means more money for HCS which is why they have this game. So between having it also in composing vs having it in a donation only box, I pick the donation route.

If your donating outside of donation events your doing it wrong. Also you all tend to forget that these "insert insult donators" are the people that attract the cows to continue development on FS and keep the game running. You don't need to donate to gain fsps or buy chests if you think that you are just bound to fail. I'd really appreciate it if you respected them because i know i do.

I'm not donating at all, cuz the phone carrier and the rent man don't care that my favorite game has an extra special offer and only hours remain.  I have every respect for those who do, I hunt, cash in my gold and buy my FSP from them...  But that only goes so far, and I shouldn't have to be made to feel inferior because I don't have hundreds to invest in an online game.  And those that choose not to donate should also be respected.   That this is decidedly off topic occurs to me, so that's all I will say.

I do NOT disrespect donators to the game. 

 

I have been a major donator in the past and may be again.  ATM I have no (ZERO) income, so am living off savings. Since every time I get close to drawing a pension our government changes the rules for retirement dates, so I have no idea how long my savings will have to last, therefore gaming is not a priority spend atm.

I recommend you partake in other activities other than hunting. Your gimping yourself if that's all you do. Arena/inventing/SE hunting/merchanting etc etc... That's how you make the big bucks. GvG even. Of course your character will be inferior if you aren't taking full advantage of the game and all it has to offer. Your bound to fall behind. The people that get ahead are the people that partake in almost all aspects of the game. I understand it's not as easy on a tablet but hopefully the app is out soon.
