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 :)


Because not hunting will help us have better feedback? :lol:

You didnt sound like that about Titans in your FFS joining application that was rejected last week :wink:

Well i guess your right about the not hunting
And tht was last week before this change your are complaining about

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?


So because its a guild activity solo players or a few in the guild cant have fun with it? I realise its a guild activity, do you think I havent tried to get more to do it, they couldnt before and they cant now as was shown by the fact that those on bad connections gave up today.
Personally, of course I want this changed back. Since other guilds dont want the RP, I loved taking them for CW, buff packs arnt free ;)

Well thankyou, that selfish statement has merely strengthened my position AGAINST changing this back. Well, I'm away for now, found something more interesting than this pointless argument. I'll be back later on. ;)

In my opinion, the delay will help me out ALOT when i start to hunt Titans... im on dial-up, and my connection speed isnt very fast... (obviously im a bit redundant... but maybe a few of you forgot what dial-up is ;))

Im currently still a bit spooked about going for titans, thinking ill be mopped up with the titan ><, but i know that with this 'delay', i should have a better chance to get SOME kills...

Why not go after the Oggy right now? Seems like your the perfect test subject.

go for 400 attack, 400 defence with no buffs, then stack on damage ;)

Saneri Rocks (South) 5/4343 8
Guild Member Kill Contribution % of Total
HolySpit 8 100%

My lack of kills can be associated to a few things:

1. Hitting the wrong button (happened a few times)
2. VERY SLOW reload times
3. Titan moved when i tried to kill it
4. Titan moved while on my way to kill it

#1, of course... is my own fault, i would hit the wrong key whn i switch from map, to world screen, going in the wrong way, making me miss the kill

#2, 3 and 4 I can blame on my internet connection. I refresh whenever possible (still takes 5-10 seconds), and move when i see the titan closeby (and i feel i can go that far/kill it fast enough)

interestingly... the World Map loaded slower than the actual interaction screen... scary ><

Anywho... The delay isnt going to really help the people with UBER crappy computers, simply because load times are bad...

Ill try Downloading the image pack for next time, see if that helps, but i CANNOT use Auto Reload, because FSHelper lags my browser more than it helps :(

im on dial-up



no offense at all intended to holy, but , ... slower connections are one thing, but considering dialup connections as an example of a "slow hunter" is going a bit to far. (I didnt think dialup even existed anymore :| )

Its not like FFS is in here as the only guild with fast hunters. Eternal Warriors has 3 of the fastest hunters in the game, they could easily beat FFS on many titans if they had more organization among their guild. The reason we are consistent is because we always have nearly a dozen people that are willing to go titan hunt, the reason why FFS will still continue to win.


And, its not like being a slow hunter is such a horrible thing, a slow , yet efficient hunter can completely control a decent sized zone as long as he/she is aware of where the fast hunters are and stay away from their starting point. If a slow hunter is spending only 3/4 stamina moving to a titan, while a fast hunter is spending 8/9 stamina per kill then the slow hunter is using that much less stamina.

lmao... i know... im a rare case, (having THE slowest connection possible, and everything :P) and even though i was being sped by in the titan hunt earlier, i had fun... though most of the time i sounded like a duck... (replace 'qu' with 'f'), as i was missing kills so often, but all things considering, i feel i did pretty well getting 8 :P

now to improve some things, and hopefully do better next time ;)

*winds up for a long post*

here's the big picture. the feature of titan hunting was "rigged" since its introduction. I recall reading somewhere the FS server's located in florida? in that case they introduced a feature that was dependant on where a player resided. Huge mistake with a community as geographically diverse as FS. Sure, this would've made more sense if it were an, "American Titan League"

my point being, with a foundation so inconsistent and fragile, no matter how many "fixes" you make, you're never going to be able to perfect it for everyone. period

I play a lot of FPS games, and ping or latency is the most crucial in this genre than any other. Some players have better pings because of a better location/connection/ISP quality, but you don't see the high-pinged players whining, nor the servers coming up with something like "minimum ping 250ms for every player" to make it fair, lmao. that being said, does this update help the slower hunters? yes, but at the expense of some regular-hunters' fun

I hunted this recent oggy when it had 300hp left, and even with a bit of lag, I was able to stretch ~8blocks and sneak 2 kill in (sweet!). but then an oggy spawned 2 blocks away from me, I was able to snag only 2 kills even though it was there for ~5 (wtf?)

oh well, I loved titan hunting. the fast pace and thrill of it is/was incomparable to anything else on FS. I'll try one proper hunt before I give it all up, I don't care about the kill delay as long as my FS pages load as fast as any other website I use, damnit. too soon to say if this has made me lose my interest in titan hunting, only way to find out is a hunt without lag. but hey, if you're now able to hunt better/at all, I'll be more glad than disappointed

I disagree. Stamina usage has nothing to do with this topic. Your just trying to offer the slower hunters some candy to make them feel better.

The slower hunter staying in a smaller zone is getting far fewer kills then the super hunters covering far more ground. I was in FFS and participated in many hunts. I can say...FFS does not consider slow hunters to not be horrible things. Unless of course you guys have altered your payment plan.

I'm not one of the super hunters. I'm in the next crowd down. I can compete in the next group of hunters and have fun doing so. I know one wrong step or button press and I will miss a kill. It makes the game fun. I can say...there is no fun at all going up against the super hunters. Knowing that even with me being up in the top part of the next fastest hunter group. I have zero chance against you guys. I can honestly say I have a feeling about how the next group and others on down feel. Its not fun.

Not a slam on FFS as I will also say I absolutely do not find this delay fun as well.
