Well for one thing I have plenty of past experience as to what hunting 'used to be like' so even if I haven't hunted in the current state I can still have an opinion ;) As for FFS bashing, replying to a msg and then being greeting with extreme hostility by FFS members doesn't exactly inspire me to want to be best friends with you, I am however friends with FFS members that do not share the ultimate arrogance that a lot of you seen to have grown accustomed to using on these forums.


This thread is about discussing the change, you have NO experience of that so you have nothing constructive to bring to it.

Same applies here, if you havn't hunted you cannot comment.

The bold part isnt needed. Thts just harsh! How do you know for a fact he hasnt hunted? Are you online very second of the day? Do you monitor shardooms activity? NO

This is a community forum to discuss their thoguhts your right about the cars but you dont have a right to tell others not to post thats insane.

I have plenty of experience of driving a car, but I wouldn't get in to a discussion with Formula 1 drivers and crews about changes to F1. They are the ones there experiencing the changes and they are the ones who can give feedback, not me.

Same applies here, if you havn't hunted you cannot comment.


I believe I can, how dare you try and tell me I cannot comment. You like trying to shut people up that oppose you huh? :S This update was never intended to change which guilds win or lose, YOU don't seem to grasp this fact, it was intended to enable slower connections to be able to get TITAN KILLS.

WE are giving feedback from experience, you are giving what?

Speculation based upon your own ego because you think you know it all whether you have done it or not.

And I know for a fact that you have not yet hunted the Titans since the change.

Broken record much? Look up to the place where I quoted Kjeften, and then tell me it's not doing what it was supposed to.

1 player's feedback. WOW.

I think you will find many more players opposing this change than agreeing with it.

Making major changes in game mechanics from something that has been around for a long time is something that causes an online game to lose much of its player base. I have seen that in several games I have played and since, quit.

well if you don't like it then simply quit whats stopping you? you said theres no fun in titan hunts anymore so your obvioulsy doing it for them purple orbs now arent you? you have no control over greed do you? thats why your still hunting the titans. Sorry but i have nothing against frackers but most of you in this thread before this update said you hunt titans for the fun but now you say theres no fun left in them so what do you hunt them for now? No one tells you to do they? You havent signed a major contract saying youll hunt titans till you die have you?
Its simple if you dont like it quit complaining for a rethink on the update just dont go out and hunt titans - theres more apsects in this game which are enjoyable :)

A quick connection to the internet? IE someone with a faster connection to the FS servers than someone else?

Theres no such thing tbh

Its something virtual which the so called "best tian hunters" think they have and the rest of the community thinks its an advantage

I'm a little confused. Maybe cause I havent read all of this thread and don't really see what the issue is. A small delay between titan attacks is a major change in game mechanics? To me titan hunting seemed to work just as before except this little change. Or is this about something else?

Meh, that's fairly fast, much the same as I have, when I titan hunted I could run rings around a lot of people so yeah, kinda quick I guess. Why are you asking?

Well, the majority of players are based in america, and im assuming since they are closer to the server then they should be faster. So in reality the only reason we would be quicker is because we worked at it. All this change does is remove that advantage, which I researched and worked for and instead reward those who couldnt be assed to do it before.

Yeah, you probably did the same as me, stripped down your browser to be more efficient, have AR loading your world map every second or '0' seconds if your connection/computer can do it? Exactly what does this have to do with a 'guild activity' modifying your computer to enable you to 'solo' a place on the leaderboard?

This delay will end up doing nothing but annoy people.

FFS will keep winning, that has not changed. So guilds will not fully organize to put forth the effort needed to challenge. That's a HUGE was of stamina just for 2nd place.

The same hunters who hunted for RP may....but now the time involved for the RP has gone up making it less interesting.

I don't really see much of an improvement here.
