ok, so hear me out.

First, I mean no ill will in any way towards how the titans were updated to allow them to spawn more often. It was a nice change.

But.

Its caused a fairly large flood over time of epics in general. The seasonals are fine, as they hold their value and most arent common, or at least arent super common. Yet.

The problem with the flood is that: A) there are almost 2-3X the number of the epics (for each epic that isnt seasonal or invented) as there are active players at this point. Its destroyed pretty much all the value of most epics in the long run. and C) A lot of guilds are probably just building up a pile of "worthless" epics since they cant figure out what to do with them since they dont really sell often.

Granted, this mostly applies to any epics under i'd say... 3-400? most active players at this point are around 5-600+ imo, but i know there are lower level actives out there.

But the sheer amount of epics in general makes them kinda, well, less epic.

What ideas can we come up with to solve this problem? I know in the past people have suggested tier-ing epics, especially since the tiered inferno and steam curiass, but its been shot down repeatedly. and understandably so. but we need some way to recycle all these floating epics, so to speak. i dont really have an idea at the moment but i thought id at least throw this out and see what others might think.

Is it just me, or is anyone else unable to log into the wiki? i had been planning on going back again to try and do some long awaited work on it now that i have a smidgen of free time, but when i try to log in t cant seem to find the server or some nonsense...

I know its been some time since ive been to the forums, but is it just me or did the topics get trimmed like crazy? i could have sworn there were more then just 4 discussion topic areas. . .

EDIT: scratch that, i forgot the cows have separate forums so i wasnt in the fallnsword specific area XD again, long time XD

I was running around for a daily quest, moving through tiles, and i happened to come across another player thats so rare outside the cathedral or during globals lol.

Then i had a thought.

we have a character we can see in the world map, why not make them visible to everyone on the map similar to a titan? The only exception would be when i titan is visible on the map, but guild mates would still be visible it would refresh on character movement or a creature kill

just a simple idea that i honestly dont think will go anywhere, but you never know

Alrighty! So!

Titans.

We all love the epics we can win off hunting them, and so we try and secure them.

But then what?

People beat a Titan half to death and then it lays in the dirt for ages until someone takes pity on it and puts it out of its misery....

The elementals i can understand, they don't have a drop and are primarily used for quests (besides the elemental shield blank)... but others like the invisible invader, heck almost all of them, they get secured and just... idle....

they age in their poor frail state until put out of their misery lol.

Now in the long run i know this keeps the epic market a bit more stable, but at the same time, for those wanting to try and secure it for themselves it just means they have to go and clean up someone elses mess :/

Id like to see some kind of reward or benifit for maybe finishing off a titan if your from a different guild if no ones attacked it in X days, or perhaps something to reward players for completely securing it, like a guild medal maybe (say 80% of the kills within a certain time frame that its cleared withing adds towards a guild medal perhaps ) 

Just a little late night thinkering before bed XD
