Titan Quest Update

I don't really mind them being the way they are. Epics are epics (these are some of the best in the game) and if you're in a hurry of getting one right away, do what you would for a SE set. Or simply use something else.. The competition to get the required kills is what makes you deserve the epic. If most of their titan-ic qualities are removed, the titans are not useful for anything else but questing, and with 500 kills I think the level 700 blade will flood the market just as the rest of them pretty soon.
But please: Make sure the other titans are still "worth" hunting so the reward for slaying the elements arent more attractive than slaying the other titans.

It's simple they aren't intended to be farmed, they are intended to be there for indivuals to kill to attain their quest rewards?[/quote]
They are and will continue to be farmed as long as you can get RP and kills towards your medal.[/quote]
Indeed, which is why the medal kills and RP rewards need to be removed from them. NOT people asking for a regular titan drop.. :?[/quote]
yeah i guess having no one wanting to go after the titan for any reason but the quest reward would be best, i mean no competition at all when you want to start is best, right?? yeah, lets have the prices of these back to 25 FSP....
they are titans, and should be treated as such if they want to carry the name, RP for 2,nd through fifth, and a prize for first, otherwise, lets just call them elites, huh?
and this change is another fine example of why no one should believe what they see in the news, was what, 1 business day after the post that no new changes to these items will be made. wow, made it a whole 4 or 5 hours before listening to the complain gang on the forums before wussifying all the quests, and why aren't they going up in increnents like they used to?? 500 kills? not very much. i have to applaud the community as a whole here, you will be able to get your epic items a lot easier now, but fortunatly, they won't be worth much.. and as a whole it's good to know that when administration says no further changes will be made, that it means untill next business day..

The main problem is that too many epics flooded onto the market....and are flooding back off it again as I type. The damage is done. Fingers crossed someone will have bought a couple of my epics when I check in a sec
Hopefully this won't happen again...and that when new epic goodies appear they will be very difficult to get hold of...be it through titans or whatever other way Hoof and the team may have planned.
I still have to do the Element of Air quest and, to be honest, the main reason will be for the excitement of competition with other hunters and GRP for the Guild.
Maybe I can chase around after Mr Doom's shadow again while tag-teaming in and out of smoke breaks!

Please just alter the stats, one way or the other.
The hammer might be something that could be resunk into another inventing recipe or quest - but it's a fraction of the cost to build or buy a hammer, and the hammer has been in the game a LOT longer than the higher level items.

500 kills per element titan is better, though maybe a little too low now.. So please do not remove kill counts for medals or RP rewards from them.

there will be enough competition with people just doing the quest it will still take months for most to do let alone having rp added into the equation and several guilds getting all the kills while the 100's of players are trying to complete the quests.

Also please please please give us 25 and 50 epics!
this was said in a earlier thread as a response to this "Bleh, another one with lv 100 min to do anything. Am I not EPIC enough for the EPIC QUEST?"
Dont worry there will be lower levels next time

too easy for all the multis to get to level 25 and 50
too easy for them to get to lvl 100 also but too late to change that

well something to do while they aren't farming plants, sitting on potion shops etc etc, maybe you are right, need to have more for the multi's to do also, don't want to be discrimanate towards them

I dont see a game problem with competition. I do see a game problem in even more flooding of superduper epics in the game.500 kills per element titan is better, though maybe a little too low now.. So please do not remove kill counts for medals or RP rewards from them.

Therefore, please consider implementing one of the following changes:
1. Resetting all current quest epics to their pre-Reborn values
2. Altering the stats on the Blue Man of War Sword and the Mace of the Colossus to bring them more into line with current epic itemization
3. scrapping the Mace of the Colossus entirely and creating a new epic drop for the Gurgriss titan, which current owners of the Mace could send tickets in and have exchanged for.
1. Too much has been invested in buying/crafting/forging them and planning leveling setups around them as mentioned above, its too late for that to change now.
2. Both the Epic Mace and the Blue Sword look fine, one is a result of a team effort inferior to what it takes to solo 500 Elemental Titans for most Titan hunters, so the reward should be inferior. Also, the Blue Sword price took a big cut, hopefully it will take down other GvG Epics with it to a more realistic proportion of how easy it is for guilds to have access to them via GvG..(and its still a good arena item)
3. Not all titan drops should be the "best" leveling items

That's exactly it KJ...competition and a REAL challenge are key to keeping the game interesting for me. I spent months of my gaming life trying to get together the components for the WW....nearly had a heart attack when I clicked on invent. But the sense of satisfaction and achievement when I put on the WW made it all worthwhile. And kept me coming back to FS for more...

It's far easier to get 500 kills off the Water Titan, with 7.5k HP and few people hunting it, then it is to get them off the Earth or Air titan.
Would be good to think about that for future Epic quests, and please get someone to test them, as I never even needed the rune to go hit the scout, even if I did invent it afterwards.

This whole update has been an 'EPIC FAILURE' and they promised that they would not be changing anything else but they just did then.

In order to kill the titan I did kill (I was fortunate enough to complete the first two quests on Friday) I had to create a group..
you shouldn't have to create a group to kill the air titan, you probably can't use your normal hunting gear, but it should be pretty easy for a level 300 player to get a setup with 2.4k defense, 1.5k attack and enough damage to kill the titan in a few hits
