and I think
time is also a big problem. People who come online after 30 min or
1 hour, won't participate anymore.

People in Evo do, I'm sure frackers do as well.

Mostly a single player can reach teh
5th spot.

I would have gotten 3rd in the 15:12 22/Jun/2009 Ogalith with a solid 500 kills.

It is near impossible with the diverse group of players in my guild to assemble at the same time, seems the times we are all on there is no Titan. Therefore my assumptions that the stars have to align for my guild to win is correct. I applaud EVO and FFS for winning all the Titan drops, I really do. I am not whining or crying here, just saying that I think the Titans need a change, not all will agree with me. However I am entitled to my opinion here, just as you are entitled to yours. I would say this though, if the system is truely balanced and fair to all, there should be more "different winners", again this is my opinion.

So FFS shouldn't win the ongoing Titan seeing even though they're LITERALLY the only guild seriously killing it?

I'm not talking to anyone specifically but just try, that's all I've got to say. All it takes is 5 moderately fast players, a couple could be late even. Just try, do it intensely, don't quit halfway through, do it.

Yeah. This is not going to happen. As I have stated elsewhere, we intend on adding Prizes (possibly Guild Rep Points) to the 2 to 5 placers. I personally want to add several new packages for the Guilds to buy. I have seen other ideas regarding what the points could be used for and am mulling them over.

So why not halt Titans til this is implemented? That way 2-5th isnt just wasting stamina? Seems you all acknowledge it is at least partiially broken finally and are doing nothing about it. People can say waht they want, they can say Im whining or whatever, but all I am really saying is, even if my guild gave our best shot there is no way we could beat FFS or a similar guild (I know EVO has won a few of these as well, I applaud them for that, I really do). Im just saying that is HCS wants me to at least try to win and waste my stamina then they need to realisticly offer me some kind of prize even if I dont win. I want something to show for my stamina, Im sorry I feel this way, I do not think I am alone with that statement. Nobody likes getting shafted. Sorry I do not like the Titans, therefore I do no longer compete, this means I shouldnt fight to get it changed? (Arena players fight to try and change the arena, why should a wanna be Titan hunter not be able to fight for a change?). People are missing my points, that is all fine and swell, seems there is about 140 people happy with the Titans, that would be FFS, EVO and HCS. Im sorry if I hurt anyones ego when I say, "Wonder why these guilds and Company are happy?" Anyone with an avg IQ should be able to put it together and figure out the logical reasoning behind all this. Im done with Titans and done with the Titan subject. Thanks for either reading or not reading this post.

Woot BG posted in my thread!

But yeah, 2-5th Prizes ftw!

If you use Guild Rep points as the reward, here's some quick ideas of stuff to be bought with them:
-Additional buffs packs- perhaps longer durations and/or greater leveling packages
-A free Structure(s) for X number of days
-X amount of Guild FSP (you won't be giving out fsp itself since it'll be locked in a guild)
-Assorted Guild Upgrades (BP, Ranks, ect)
-A titan drop (would need to cost a lot of RP though)
-More cowbell?
There's my 2 minutes of thought for ya- anyone else care to build on this list to help out the cows?

Some decent ideas there. I am gonna discuss this with Hoofmaster to see if he can tweak a few aspects of this for me.

Oh..........

I think the bold one is most important, that is the problem with
current RPs. As a guild we don't hunt on the same day, to hunt
at the exact same hour is even worse...I think you should make
some nice packages of at least 24 hours, so every member can
have a run on the RP packages...

Agreed, 3-4 hours just ain't enough for most guilds.

As for restructuring the packs, here's my thoughts:

Battle Pack A & Power Leveller A are both outdated. Apart from only being 3-4 long, the same buffs could be bought at said duration for under 5 fsp. This is not much of an incentive for even a new guild to win 5-10 conflicts.

Promote- Seems fine as it is.

Battle Pack B isn't really useful for 'Battle' since DD and DW don't work in PvP combats. As for Leveling purposes, DD 200 isn't necessary since most people have the KS to make Level 175 or lower work. If you're willing to spend 15 Guild RP on a hunt, I think you'd be willing to buy a Potion of Fatality as well so Wither 200 is counterproductive. Finally, DW 200 is good, sounds fun.

As for Power Leveller B, the same logic applies for Librarian and Doubler 200, if you're using 20 Guild RP, you'd probably buy a Potion of Greater Doubler and a Potion of the Bookworm. Perhaps swapping out the buffs for different ones or upping the power on them would work. Conserve and Adept Learner 200 are both good.

Fortune Pack A seems a little underpowered. Also, it lacks a B counterpart.
