The second issue with this is genuinely fast Titan hunters can now get 2 to 3 drops per cool down cycle without any guild involvement.

So you will never hear them complain about the change

This. Except just in general people being able to get multiple drops within 7 days, not fast hunters (titan hunting is relatively even playing field outside of TP 200). 

 

Making the personal secured item bound would be ideal solution. That way if people want to get items just for themselves they can without worrying about their guild being on cooldown. If they want to do it for profit, they can coordinate with their guild members to hunt and get the item to sell. Win win on both sides. 

 

If you want to hunt it for profit but your guild is always on cooldown, then join a smaller guild or create your own.

Seems only like a win to be for people in small guilds or those "guilds" with 1 person. I smell ulterior motives but whatever. Them not being bound is making the price go down and some people aren't very happy. As well as them not being bound is incentivising more titan activity which isn't advantageous for those people who want easy secures on a barren map. But it's a win win for everyone already. People who don't want to hunt them can buy them cheaper and those who put the effort in can make some fsps on the side . Right now it's totally fair . Cows did a great job LOVING THE EVENT. Looking forward to wave two of dragons as well.

Finally got lucky to where the Perchta spawned in the 2 hr window I have to hunt each day. Will say it was a lot of fun competing with a ton of people on the map and hunting at the same time (maybe a little more fun since my gamble paid off and I was able to get an item) but reminded me of the old days when the fields were crowded and you had to be on top of your game to win.

 

Definitely nerve racking having no idea how many kills you have until the end, but also adds to the thrill of the hunt at the same time.

 

Kudos to Hoof for finding a way for everyone to be able to participate in the events.

Gospa Perchta (Titan)s killed. you know were to find him? if so explain in dumb dumb terms pls lol  also is there any pots ro skills that help give more kills?

Morning all, I have been following this topic closely and have also taken part in hunting the Titan and feel that 1 of 2 things needs to happen.

1 - Teleport buff is maxed at 175 to keep everyone on the same playering field every player that has solo secured it to date has been running a 200+ teleport buff ( meaning you have turned the game into a pay to win )

2 - Should you not wish to do the above make the solo secure item bound , that way it is for the player and he player alone. I feel that’s win win for everyone.

I feel option 1 the players using it won’t want to lose it so make it fair by bounding the item on solo hunting after the guild goes on cool down

well put +1

If you want to decrease the titan activity make them bound otherwise not. I like the quests being bound.

[Josh1404]

Making secured items bound will kill titan activity. Most people won't bother. We don't need any more reasons for people to not want to play. It's fine as it is. Don't kill an area of the game many people like playing.

 

Also teleport is fine as it is to. It's a donation potion. It should provide something other potions don't. If you want one go get one. All this complaining is pointless. You don't have to donate for it just earn the FSP and purchase one. Hardly pay to win more greater investment into something you enjoy doing.

 

Cooldown as it was sucked for anyone in a larger guild as 95% of the members wouldn't even have a chance to hunt a titan. Now that stranglehold has been lifted to allow everyone to compete equally for a single drop. How can that be a bad thing? Increasing titan hunting activity for everyone is a great move.

 

HCS please don't make a change. This was a step 100% in the right direction. The new titan was a great idea and doesn't need a change. It's meant to be difficult to complete it's an epic quest for goodness sake. The fact it's popular just shows that you created something a lot of people want to participate in. Please don't pander to a couple of people crying on the forum. All is well and thank you for the event.

These new updates regarding titan hunting seems great, and would be much greater if everyone had the same level of teleport buff.

[BeigeRhino]

EP - I have no issue with the quest being bound I just feel that it should be the same for solo secure's.

 

The titan hunting will still be busy as it currently is which is great, I like it that you have to work for the epic.

 

But feel it should be bound as its a solo kill for your personal use.

 

Players that disagree with the above in the bigger guilds have asked for many years to have a new system to let them hunt titans after the guild has gone on TKP meaning a guild can secure 2 seasonal titans online for guild use or re sale. Then it use to be 7 day cool down.

 

With the new system everyone can hunt the titan ( great news for all ) but it should be a bound item not for re-sale.

 

Just my 2 cents worth, I dont like to see comments regarding pandering to a couple of people crying on forum, I rarely post here but come here often to read whats going on as do many.

[StarCraft]

Titan hunting is intended to be a guild activity as BG mentioned yesterday and many other times. Individuals secures takes that away. Making the personal secure items bound is the right option. Only reason 95% of you guys don’t want bound is because you won’t be profiting anymore.

Like it has been stated many many times before on the forums: if you wanted to titan hunt for profit (but couldn’t with your guild), then either coordinate with guild members or join different one. This isn’t new revelation.

From the Big Book:

The definition of insanity is performing the same act over and over again and always expecting a different outcome....

 

This debate illustrates that definition.  Nobody is going to win here.  You're all too busy defending your own position to even admit the other side is entitled to one, much less that they might have a valid point.  I can't wait for all this stuff to be over, for the community to return to normal, whatever that is.

[watagashi]

Yes,, buy a teleport 200 pot,,, hereafter called the potion of win button.
Since I've seen a few things and come to accept this has hit that point where any feedback is going to be ignored and its just going to drag on for pages with EP swearing everyone can participate I'll just bow out here,, dont forget to save up!!! A great special offer for pots of win button will be spamming our logs soon!

This is actually a great point. I went up against several players and initially there was a scrum to fight for the Titan but most give up once they realize one of the hunters has the teleport pot. I keep fighting because it would be so fun to make that player lose a secure (+I’m an idiot) but there is no chance. With pride and High level BM, it gives these teleport pot players free reign to collect multiple epics while guild is on CD. I’m going to experiment with it myself later.

Perhaps an addditional compromise that once your guild is on CD, teleport pots will not work. Grind it out with the regular folk and if you can still secure, you deserve it

BG stated at 18:37 in the GC: "Titan Doubler will not work on thew (sic) quest."

 

Next post at same time he said, "Quest Hunter ought to though."

I think this kind of information should be make available previously, in the original news. Not everyone participates in GC and if they were provided before, lots of doubts shouldn't arise. It seems like, for every event there are complications because of the lack of critical information. Hope this can be fixed by the HCS in the near future. Anyway, the event seems very cool (after clearing the doubts)!

It should be common knowledge that Quest Hunter is needed for quests, and that Titan Doubler has no impact on quest kills, and vice versa.  It's in the buff details what each  does.

 

With all due respect, we all need to stop expecting BG to hold our hands and do our homework with such things. We should all be able to read the skill descriptions.  And if English is your second language, Google translate quickly converts to yours......

I have a question for BG or someone who knows:  How does this new CD system affect a solo guild?  If I secure will it go to guild or to me personally?  If I secure, and it goes to guild first, am I then allowed to secure again  personally?

 

Just wondering because after reading this entire forum none of this is made clear.

 

[EpicPiety]

I respect your opinon beige i was just merely saying it will decrease activity. Which imo is bad. Don't get our new players used to inactivity because then they will whine and complain when its active just like us now haha.

With the new rules in effect, yes, you can secure twice. Once for guild. Then your guild goes on CD. Once personally but you must secure and you go on personal CD.
