A lot of the other people in the thread have attempted titan hunting. I unfortunately can't commit several straight hours at a time on a game, as evidenced from the fact that I moved from time-based MMORPG's to stamina-based ones. However the thug block happening is borderline funny "hunt titans or shut up on rewards".

2nd to 5th place rewards are simply not all that enticing or conducive to repeated efforts seemingly.

I propose that we get a potion of anti-whining in the game and people get off their butts and get out there and actually hunt the things to get the drops. FFS can be beat solo with the right hunter, with just a few peeps with good connections, or with a bunch of members that all have slow connections. People just need to figure out which one of these three their guild falls inbetween and get off their kiesters and actually hunt the thing and not sit in the forum complaining as to why they are not getting the drops for the eloquent writing abilities in whining threads.

- You dont have to be a donator to hunt Titans..You dont have to be a donator to have a fast connection as well :) You dont have to be a donator to complete GvGs and make enough FSP to buy Titan drops either if you lack both the speed and the resources to get a team going and win them..

ah but see this is where it comes to the has and has nots again.

A player can compete on equal ground in gvg, regardless of their income and location. Lets be serious for a second. To get a computer and connection that makes a difference, you aren't going to do that on a minimal to low budget are you? unless you want to go without basics of life.

It has been established and proven by the results that a very fast connection speed (in a certain location) and a decent computer, will give a very significant advantage in titans over someone with a aging computer with a cheap/free dial up connection.

Arena, GvG, Hunting, PvP can all be done with the outdated computer and a basic connection. By the "FFS has worked hard to take advantage of both our fast hunters and number of active members, it seems to be paying off, is anything wrong with adapting and outrunning everyone else in the current system?" argument and then dismissing other guilds for their lack of trying whenever a titan is released, is it any wonder there is such negativity towards FFS? That same comment is also verification that FFS intended to and have obtained the monopoly you so blissfully deny. Sure, you recruit those with a fast connection to win, and yet you are the first to jump up and down and say "well no one else hunts". You don't want others to hunt.

There are a number of people _trying_ to come up with suggestions to bring some life back into titans, yet the ignorance and arrogance of frackers to protect their monopoly is abysmal. If their members actually pulled their heads out of their cavities and smelled the roses, then worked in a positive way towards improving titan hunting, it would work in favour of their recruiting activities. Heaven forbid, it would mean less stamina used to get the win.

Keeping the current attitude of making a mockery of people who don't try to hunt and then of about the attitude of 'haha you won't win, we have the best people' is it not surprising people don't bother trying?

Actually Shar, I agreed that there was a lot of merit to your original idea. I stated that it would not change our domination, but it would at least allow many more players to reap some benefit from a Titan hunt.

To answer Evils post about connection speed, I live in the UK, have a lousy connection to FS (Ping between 120 and 200) my PC is very average, and yet yesterday I easily racked up over 500kills on Tsuki.

Why? Because I had very little competition.

It is not the idea that we are shooting down, its the haters. To be totally blunt and honest, if your proposed change was implemented it would mean that we still win all the time but at least others could get a slice of the pie aswell.

Which is better than my ping, given I am 8000+ miles from the servers, yet when I have the time to titan hunt I often get second or third on a solo effort.

I can do all I want to improve my connection, yet this will not change the fact of the current scenario. There's talk of people wanting to beat frackers, should make more of an effort? Actually there are people doing that.

There's a simple solution to stopping the monopoly. Remove the sale value from the drop. Then people will hunt the titans for the drop for their guild. With no resale value, it will greatly change the way titan hunting is.

How am i going to agree with something that says "You are winning too many FSP, we need to make drops untradable to stop you" ? Because thats what this discussion -too- is about..

Drops being un-tradable would mean that

a) 99% of the players of FS would initially be left out of a chance to have a personal item, even if they can afford one because their guild cant compete.

B) Guilds would participate until they had one-two of each Epic and then quit because there would be no point in not making back what stamina they spent.

c) Titan hunting would end up being worthless and without any interest when every half-dead guild would have a rack of shiny epics in the GS, ridiculously easily obtained.


The RP rewarding system was working fine until the redundant and lame GvG system of 1 FSP+50K per conflict caught up..Epics through GvG have lost a great part of their value with all the multi and RP farming guilds, therefore what used to be a reasonable trade (Gain RP--> buy RP Epics-->Trade for Titan Epics) is now much more difficult.

Separate Titans from GvG, use the 2nd-5th place rewards for NEW special Epics and the interest will spur again.

As for us wanting to dominate, of course we did, isnt it the point of any competition to be the 1st and have some fun along the way? Any guild can try doing it by recruiting Titan hunters and spending thousands of stamina, just like us..Not just sit in a corner and wait for a favorable or a something-for-all rewarding system to be in place.

Oh and BTW, every Titan changing idea is about how we can stop FFS from winning and also every FFS is against changing the Titan idea.

Those 2 statements are about as valid as each other.


I retract that, the 2nd statement is far more true, anyone can tell just by reading this thread alone.

And of course you'd disagree with anything, if it has the slightest possibility of effecting your income I'd bet every Fracker would be here saying no, I mean if I were getting that much I would :lol:

Your ping is worse than than that, but when you do hunt you get 2nd or 3rd on a solo effort :shock:

Get some of you guildmates to help you then.

Its honestly not that hard to solo a 3rd when theres hardly noone on the map. That second last Fuv I was covering over half of the map by myself for alot of the time. I spent 2.5 stam to get over 440 kills and come 3rd. Still payed better than if I had used that 2.5 stam on 5 GvGs.

Timezones are the issue. We intend to make a combined effort when there is one that spawns when we are all online. the 3 of us who can hunt tsuki for example are america, new zealand and netherlands. singularly each of us can solo a second or third but again for the reasons of the lack of competition.

Incidently the 2 of us not in america came second on an oggy some months back. It's not for a lack of trying, it's the fact that a titan needs to spawn at a time when we can make a worthwhile go at it. Many of the smaller guilds are in a situation like this.
