If you are aware of any exploits please let hcs know. I went out there and tested it myself but might of been some obscure bug. Bloody lost too oh well next one . Rdy was too quick heh.

I'm terrible at titan hunting. I didn't realize just how bad I am until just now, though. I couldn't get to it 1 square away from me, let alone across the map. 

 

To those players who can get 1K+ kills on this thing for the quest each time....My hat's off to you. You whooped me good. I ended up with 30 kills. This quest may take a while.

Make sure you don't do an EP move and forget to use Quest Hunter buff... 30 = 120

That was with QH. Lol

 

Like I said....terrible.

I think the new CD is unfair on the titans that aren't tied to a quest. Literally giving these guys another chance to secure on top of guild secure. 

 

It's their choice if they want to be in big guilds. They all (big and small guilds) have their pros and cons. If titan hunting in a big guild outweighs the pros for you, then leave and join/create a small guild. 

 

It just gets frustrating because something this big should at least have run through an in-game poll or something. Can't remember the last time we had one.

 

No longer an even playing field

 

For example

This is ok

 

This is not ok

From what I am aware if they don't secure they get nothing!! On top of that scout tower doesn't give them any info so they're flying blind to when they even secure. (Unless alone on map they can assume by kills done or their average speed on a regular basis)So if they get anything other then first it's a waste of their time. At first I thought they got individual tkp nope. So if they have a lot of competition they might drop out to save time and stam

But the fact that they still get a chance to secure another epic at all is what I am talking about that is unfair. You can easily track how many kills you have by looking at your Kill streak and titan HP.

Starcraft you are the real MVP thanks for helping me!!! was worried about not being able to track kills

How is it unfair everyone has equal opportunity. I'm finally able to hunt titans without ripping away opportunity from most of my guild mates. We are 100+ strong we can fill a small gymnasium. Not only does everyone have equal opportunity titans are dying faster than normal resulting in more spawns for more people to have opportunity. 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 understand that you are probably salty because you lost for some way or another or it's not as easy for you. Sometimes you lose... I lost the other day. Not complaining. Selfishness aside i don't see any valid argument of how it's "bad" or "unfair" for the game. It's resulting in more activity in titan hunting... There is more of a thrill and sense of fun when hunting because you aren't hunting it alone you are against multiple other people in some cases. Every single person in the game has the opportunity to at-least secure one titan if they so desire. What's the issue here folks i just don't get it. It seems to be a small minority complaining. Don't try to take hundreds of peoples opportunity away to participate.

Yup absolutely nothing and i ran outta stam and have to recharge DARN. I was trying to count in my head and i thought i was winning the whole time! lol

[matt2269f]

i like the idea of a personal tkp counter ---of course any claim via personal tkp would have to be bound to the player and said player be subject to cd for more personal tkp 

 

though i dont see any real reason why a player would try to get more than 1 personal tkp claim 

 

might even be a nice touch for it to be applied to all the titans

Personally i don't mind this but it should be applied in a way that the new bound epic quest was. Making it so it's not one and done you still need to hunt or buy the others . I believe HCS got that one right. Great idea props to them. Which mean's it would be on newer titans not existing. It also gave meaning to SE's as well indirectly. Plus around the board.

the only thing i dont like about the new titan is the huge gap in gears that can be made 

 

it seems to be aimed at players 3k and up 

 

the lvl 225 shield is not worth the effort 

Edited by matt2269f, 26 December 2017 - 21:48.

[EpicPiety]

Yea but the reason being is lower levels already have tons of epics.

[Filletminion]

But there is the greatest issue with this, once a guild secures a titan under this system if they have the nice computers locations and connection speeds then they just farm the titan every time in doing so they do not succeed they cause a slower hunter any chance of completing the quest.

 

How many times would you front up to do this quest before you get disheartened 300 kills in 10 spawns  in your 1 hour a day to play?

Sadly this quest type and Cool down change will cause less players to be actively involved.

 

Fyi I have completed the quest and secured a drop also as a solo hunter.

[EpicPiety]

No they can't once you place first on your personal hunt your on cool down as well your not free to keep securing it. It's best that cows did it this way because now everyone gets an equal opportunity. Towards day 5-7 you will find it a lot more peaceful not only that 300 kills in 10 spawns means you aren't utilizing zones properly etc. You should be able to get a kill every teleport too. 300 kills = 1200 with quest hunter. It's entirely reasonable to finish the epic quest in two weeks.

 

I haven't secured it and i haven't completed the quest yet but i will before 2 weeks. Those people who think they cannot finish it and have the desire to attempt to i will not hesitate to share my tips. Like BG stated it's an epic quest so it only makes sense it takes an epic amount of time? There will always be next year as well if they are stuck playing only 1 hour a day this come around. Weren't we all yapping for more challenging content WELL HERE IT IS . Personally i LOVE IT. It's making me want to play the game again. I'm creating goals and working towards them etc... MAYBE just MAYBE if BG deems this appropriate he can create a secondary quest after the fact when the titan leaves "elemental titan like" that grants the same looking item just with -1 stam gain for the items. So then the people who for whatever the reason may be weren't able to find the time have 11 months and 2 weeks to finish that quest but they get a lesser reward than those who put in all the effort during the event. But i'm fine with nothing... IMO you want the item put in the time.

 

 

dang when i was writing this i forgot to check :00 spawn and it spawned lol.

It still does not fix every time you as an individual fail to secure those kills being lost and costing slower yet active players to just being able to sit and watch as titan after titan dies before they get to a square .

[EpicPiety]

I'm pretty darn fast and i hardly get kills outside of teleport. Everyone has access to teleport so everyone can get kills before it dies. If teleport is used they can finish the quest. This quest was made to be hard to complete. Not everyone is gonna be able to finish it this year but i guarantee BG will open it again next year. If they aren't able to finish the quest they can hunt it as a guild and earn tkp. BG purposely made this titan have more HP and cost little to cash out for tkp. It was well thought out. Everyone is just used to their handy dandy win button. We all complain about that and ask for challenging content we receive content and now we aren't pleased. lose lose LOL

 

I would be open to HCS maybe adding 3k hp to the titan. Or adding a special quest version on a duplicate map that only people on the quest can hit after the first week.

 

Heck of a lot of people here doing a lot of complaining and not very much brainstorming. Not in regards to you zizz. From my understanding people want to have a better chance at the quest. I'm fine with that the epic is bound and you can only choose one. So the best compromise would be my two suggestions up top i reckon. BG said this is a new system and i imagine he's looking for suggestions in this thread.

 

The people who like the challenging content can have their fun then the people who want the easy way out can in the second week and go kill the special quest titan on a duplicate map.

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.
