I am writing this post because I am exasperated. I'm fed up. I'm tired. I am afraid this post will draw the ire of many and the flames shall be thrown my way, but what has happened with the Titans is beyond repair now and they need to be eliminated. Only one guild in all of Fallen Sword has the wherewithal, ability and resources to fight and conquer the titans, everyone knows it and it appears everyone has accepted it. Despite what people will say about "any guild that puts their mind to it and works together" can win titan battles, the past few weeks have proven otherwise and that all guilds but one have lost the will to compete for them. The entire Fallen Sword Community has literally given up. I believe this is not what the developers of the game intended, and I believe that it is hurting the game as a whole.

Even during this past weekend when many titans were released, some even consecutively, only one guild was able to summon the manpower necessary to defeat them. One would think that when 3 or 4 or 5 titans are released consecutively that a guild's resources might be depleted and that another could step in and have a fighting chance. This has not proven to be the case. Everyone has given up except to try for RP points so they can get the inventable epic items. Please understand something. THIS IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE GUILD WHO ALWAYS WINS. It is the fault of the game developers who allowed it to happen. The titans, with the exception of the Quest Titans, need to be removed from the game or something changed drastically to somehow level the playing field. The only Titan other than Elementals that was won by any other guild was a Colossus, and we all know the reason for that. That titan does not drop an item that is greatly desired due to other recent epic weapon additions to the game.

I refuse to believe that the developers of this great game meant to put into place a system where one guild and one guild alone controlled the flow and prices of Titan Epic items into the game. I have the utmost respect for the Titan Champions of Fallen Sword, but it's time for it to stop. Some other system must be put into place and I am asking the great minds who developed this game to think of some way to do it. There will be those who find many flaws in a lot of what I just said. They will want to argue and yell "that's just sour grapes, if your guild wanted to you could win titan battles" That's fine with me.

It's quite possible my guild could win a titan battle if we put in the manpower and teamwork, but the truth is people have given up and try as we might, we cannot get people to believe it's possible to win. My purpose in writing this is not to be precise, nor even to criticize the winning titan hunters, but simply to draw attention once again to something that is wrong with this game. I may not even come back and respond to anything that is said here, but I trust that whatever thoughts and ideas follow will be read by Hoofmaster, BigGrim, Forn, Xakano, Iaganatzi, and all of the other game developers and someone will think of a way out of this mess. Thank you for allowing me an avenue to express my opinion. These opinions are strictly my own and do not represent to be the opinion of anyone in my guild or my guild itself. I'd love to hear others' ideas on this subject, and particularly if those who are smarter than me about this game have ideas to improve the situation, I would love to hear them.

Edit: If only they had released the scavenging creatures I wouldn't have had time to think about this!! :lol: :lol:

Edit #2: I have changed the title of the Thread.

I can't win at the arena. It is the same people who always win at it. Please remove it from the game.

just remove every addition from the game and start from scratch, the game has being seriously damaged with all the additions, there's nothing to be enthusiastic about anymore, everyday, it's the same thing,

Does titan hunting need a few tweaks - yes. What part of this game doesn't?

Should it be removed - no. You risk creating a completely warped market for the already hugely valuable epic items. Currently, titan epics are predominantly controlled by FFS. If noone buys at the price they set they will have to lower it (as they did this weekend), or have them rot in the store. If the latter, who in FFS will be willing to hunt them, as it is, for them, a profit driven game (for most players - that's why Gurgriss sits there)? If the former, the market wins, as it should be. Either way, more epics come into the game, allowing more people to benefit.

If you remove them you artificially inflate the price for those left in the game: See, for example, the tainted ring and rune before Gideons came out. I don't think that is something the titan item market needs.

Sort out the 'fun' aspect of titan hunting (and those in FFS will probably agree) and the other issues dissolve away. The best guild will still win, but I'd rather have fun coming 5th than coming 2nd currently.

There are a few ways to handle this.

First would be add a Lock out timer. Kill a titan and your guild is locked out from that titan for a set amount of days. More and more games are using this these days.

2nd Nerf the items so the not so desired “remove stam/xp gain form them.

3rd make the items guild bound.

Just ideas If you enjoy The hunt this would not bother you but if its the profit your hunting im sure you would realy hate these

Interesting, but the people who win are those who try hard and are organized to do so.

Titans is beyond repair now and they need to be eliminated.

Much like how changes to appease the whiners and criers has killed the arena?

It's is also disappointing that there are 2 recent threads from established members of the FS community genuinely working to bring the spark back into titan hunting, yet you feel the need to have your own post looked at by the cows, rather than the aforementioned threads which have ideas of great merit.

Sure you want to have a rant, but why should legitimate threads with constructive ideas suffer for your 15 mins of fame?

Well considering I am UK based hunting Titans is not even an option.....ok not an enjoyable option anyway. That's due to the lag and caching errors that pop up at the same time frames each day. However as the servers are based in the US and HCS revenue is probably mainly from outside of the UK I can understand this.

I don't think Titans should be scraped and I don't think its fair to punish people with fast connections due to location. I maybe would like to see a system were a guild wins a Titan and is then unable to compete for the next Titan of the same name. But again if FFS wasn't winning them all there would be no need for this so its basically punishing a successful guild imo.

With regards why it wasn't changed a long time ago well its very simple its beneficial for HCS if one guild does dominate certain items within the game.

And last but by no means least a shout out to the loyal Frackers who through thick and thin are always ready to post on the forum in defence of their guild. If only all guilds throughout FS had the same camaraderie as you guys. Your a real inspiration to this little world of ours you really rock :)

I can't believe some people from some guild still taking threads like this seriously.
Despite the fact they literally winning every Titans.
And they want Titan hunting to be easier?
Boy, you just have to WIN everything don't you guys
Men. So typical.

I think everyone who follows titan debates knows what needs to happen, soon than later:

- Movement tweak (read it in any decent titan thread)
- Reduction to 1 second titan kill delay
- Epics for 2nd to 5th, whether they are the same as drop or new ones, they have to only be attainable by titan hunting.

... and some time this summer, that's going to be MY guild. We are already collecting the gear and planning.

Hey, I can dream, right?



If you need any help or tips, I KNOW that people from my guild would be the first to help you.

Let's get out there and battle!

I say get rid of all the Frackers!!! Titan problem solved :mrgreen:

oooh wait...then a new guild stands up and we got the same
fracking crap again :?


On a more serious note:
FFS is the guild with the most active members in the game, and
is also the guild with the most active members INTERESTED in
titan hunting...It would go against my logic if such a guild wouldn't
win the titans :|
