This update has made Titan hunting zero fun and down right annoying. People will quit hunting Titans over time.

I've already quit it...
After two hunts under the new system, I became completely boared...
At least it's gonna let me keep my stam for hunting instead of wasting it for absolutely nothing.

Because I know what it's like for hunters on slower connections trying to get kills when others use their faster connections to steal all of the kills?



Stealing kills? That was such an ignorant statement. The fastest and best players deserve the kills they obtain. The fact of the matter is that this update has ruined the fun involved with Titan hunting.

Even though maxipad told me on Skype that FFS were unbeatable and would simply crush any opposition that were set before them in the current 'old' system.


Yeap, thats what we are good at :) Outperforming others in what relic we choose to hold, Guild XP, titans..

But its more fun beating opposition when there is actually some and when they do have a chance of winning...

The fastest and best players? Being fast because of location, internet speed or browser modification is not what was intended when they released titans, as is obviously evident by Hoofs initial delay of twenty seconds..

What I like is the fact that for the most part all you people want to do is get this system back to the old ways that you were all so individually good at. There's nothing here but selfishly minded insults and ganging up. It's sort of sad to see, I remember when you lot used to go on about WANTING more competition.. (Even though maxipad told me on Skype that FFS were unbeatable and would simply crush any opposition that were set before them in the current 'old' system.) I have yet to see many of you do or say anything that is in the spirit of this update, bringing slower connections and OTHER guilds into the Titan foray..


Then you cant read very well.
I have agreed with Khanate's ideas and even some of yours. Competition is one thing but this update does not give us that. It just makes it slower and more tedious.

At the risk of sounding like a "broken record" please come and actually hunt a titan so that you can at least appreciate the affect it has had.


Even when I was still hunting titans I have always hated the oggy and skally hunts. Perhaps if a Fuvayu or Tsukiyaomo comes out. Besides I don't actually HAVE to go out and hunt it to debate most of the points your and your friends are coming out with, they are all the same self serving things that has been stated since the very beginning.


Take a second, step away from the keyboard and think.

How much can you contribute and really know about the whole situation if you have not actually hunted under these conditions?

It's all well and good that you can argue against FFS members because you de-value their opinions. Each to their own and all that, but surely even you can see the benefits to you actually hunting a Titan now, and THEN giving your feedback?

It does not matter what was intended by whomever. The person who is the best at what they do regardless of their equipment deserves to be the best. Darwinism is FS!

When myself and Khanate dreamt up an idea of DURLS and delays between titan attacks you should know that it was khan's intention to have merely a 1 second delay between possible attacks. When hoof implemented this update he set the delay at 20 seconds, it was primarily due to my input (I believe) that this was reduced to 3 seconds. You say that I'm FFS and this and all that, well since this update was implemented not a single one of you has had the decency to let this update run for a decent trial period before you resorted to jumping on the forums to try and get the system reverted back to the old ways as soon as possible, THIS is what I have taken exception to. I actually like a few FFS members, but usually the ones that come on the forums only serve to further the mythos that ALL FFS members are arrogant, selfish and greedy people that will do anything to protect systems that benefit them greatly. If you don't like what I have to say, simply ignore me, I promise I won't get offended. ;)

I'd like to re-iterate one of my suggestions:

People with fast connections can still move to the titan much faster than those without. However this is mostly due to a fictive block in movement speed introduced by HCS that I assume was implemented so that people do not get lost if they mash the movement buttons. However if you are titan hunting you most likely know what you are doing.

A possible system would be to introduce a an option that you could trigger in the preferences to change how your movements are restricted to the following system:

Players are limited to a movement query to the server every 0.25 seconds.

This would allow players with slower connections to move faster (4 times per second) and people who had even faster connections could keep the other system. Although connection speed will still help players it wouldn't give a huge advantage on movement speed like right now and this system would not slow down anyone as it can be opted out. This could also be combined with a reduction of the kill delay to 1 second.

You just don't get it. Your computer connection or location should NOT have anything to do with any of your abilities in FS. That is the only thing that this update was aimed at fixing.

Also I believe it does matter that this was how the titan aspect of the game was intended to be like, since it was the game creators that intended it that way. ;)

Indeed, this would probably be the best solution all around.

I understand both sides...

I see point now.This is nice update cause there won`t be cheaters now..*chance* for players with slower connection-There is no chance..they need to move a lot so they don`t have chance on full titan ground where is at least 4 players on titan square..Titan can be killed for max 4 seconds,so player with low connection speed will get max 1 kill cause when he comes titan will be almost destroyed..This is great update for FFS..now it is a lot easier for them to win..Number of titan hunters is now more important than anything other..FFS knows this,they just hate few hours titans and moving on map for 1 kill..Like i said,HCS can make 0.1 second delay between kills to resolve problem with cheaters and titan hunting will be normal again..

I think this would work.... although it always blows my mind that some people can already move 4 times a second :lol: im lucky if I move 1 a second

I get it. You think that people with decent internet connections and computers should not have an advantage over people without these items. I call bull crap. They deserve everything they have earned and the benefits they reap.

4 moves in 1 second ?

I'm lucky if I get 4 in 4 seconds, and that's on a normal map lol
That idea could be a good solution.

This + 0.1 second delay to remove cheaters from titan hunting..
