Hey there Everyone!

A new Titan has emerged to terrorize the world during Oidhche Shamhna.

Tommy Aches (Titan)
Posted Image

There was a selfish baker who plotted the downfall of his rivals, cheated his customers and charged more for an inferior cake and yet he still had the audacity to pray to Sahria for wealth and the Greatest cake in all the lands. That night his wish was granted and the Titan known as Tommy Aches rose from the bakers kitchen, his chocolate covered mallow and jam body swelling in great size and squishing the baker before blundering away in a random direction.

Level: 300+

This Titan will be available in the Realm Haunt of Tommy Aches for the next two weeks! His drop will be available through Titan Kill Points though it has not been unveiled yet.

Furthermore, in response to player Feedback, Titans will no longer appear on the Classic Map. They will only display on the new Map. This ought to ensure everyone has a fair chance of hunting the Titans.

Additionally, we have reduced the Community Goal to 50 million kills. This ought to allow the Community to attain Global Ruby.

~ The Fallen Sword Team.

Please explain why this is good...or "fair" or makes things "even"...couldn't any hunter choose the classic or the new map and thus choose which map to use when hunting Titians ? I guess I don;t understand the need for this change one way or the other. I'm simply curious for clarification, i rarely hunt Titians...so.

Players using the classic map were still using old scripts which do not function on the new map system. The way the new map functions ensures that everyone is on level footing.

Question: Why do you have to complete the quest Spooky Smashers to be able to get to the realm to kill the titan?

If you read Spook Smashers and notice the weapon you need to fight the Pesky Spooks (who are green floating uglies) you'll notice that we were riffing off of Ghost Busters, which is an awesome film. We didn't want to copy Mr. Staypuft, so Tommy Aches is a giant rampaging monster made of teacakes. So it's all thematically linked.

Teacake =

Would have been a clever move to only permit those who qualified for ruby tier to hunt the titan Grim?

Putting the needed kills at 25 thousand would have incited riots, of that I am sure. My original number was 4,000, and I though that might be a touch high. So 1,000 kills it is. But they have to be Pesky Spooks.

At the end of the day, I want there to be challenge but also, most importantly, fun.

Hey Grim.
Just wondering if the reward is TKP only or if it's a straight-out drop for the guild that gets 50% of the kills?
Cheers,
D

There is a drop for the Guild that gets 51%, yes. But it will be a TKP item too.

that might be a bit of a stretch there Doom, I so far gotten like 50% of mine to ruby but I still plan working towards it more. but I also did some of the other quests I wasn't able to do before so I would of had more global kills. am planning to do more but waiting on stam. an for others that have less stam would be tougher to even get the chance.

atleast with having to do the event quest an use of the bound item to hunt it like the kraken titan an the Fushy SE you sorta gotta do some quests to do the same thing to be able to hunt it. but nice an sneaky way of doing it up to get more global kills in. :wink:
