That's okay :D
I think that a one titan skip (of the same titan) should be implented.

SO if let's say... umm... FFS wins an Oggy, they can't win the next one, but they can still get RP.
SO if they would actually win it, they would be bumped down to second place and get the 100 RP.
Second place guild would get the first place and so the item.


Interesting idea, but potentially open to abuse. You could have two guilds taking alternating turns to win the Oggy (for example).


There's always that opening when these things are discussed. No matter what is ultimately done somebody applauds while somebody else moans. If I didn't enjoy running a guild I wouldn't still play this game. If i was a dev though i'd pull the plug on titans or cap the win streaks.

Its all about power and greed atm and it's wrong. Nuff from me, i'm outta here.

If the issue is that one guild is winning almost all the time,

Just have 2 titans spawn at the same time but in 2 diffeent zones.

this way ther is only a slight increase in epic drops not the massive influx this new upgrade would create and, you are still competeing against which ever guilds chose the same zone as you.
If a single guild tries to split up and take both zones then the guilds focused on on zone would have better odds of winnng.

Don't worry, FFS can win 2 titans at the same time, they already showed us :)

Just realised I didn't actually answer the topic question, but that's a definite NO to that, and for once I hope you won't take the voting results, them being 56% yes at the time of this posting.

Real titan hunters have asked something else, Khanate had a good solution, taking the competition out of it completely is just ridiculous. I don't know why you just don't start everyone off with a full set of epic items at level 1, lasting through till level 700, if you want to kill the game even more.

People are just getting bored these days. Titanhunting was good, got nerfed in a bad way, and now instead of a fix, you're just throwing it out the door. Thanks a lot.

:evil:


The competition is still there. You still have to race every other Titan hunter on the map to the Titans spot and kill it. The Delay is still there.

Early on.....I'm willing to bet MAYBE 1 guild will get 2500 kills on an Oggy in 6 hours.

No, Titan Hunting is fine as is... Flooding the market with Epics isn't going to do anything.

I don't necessarily think there really needs to be a fix. FFS isn't invincible they can be beat and have been in the past. The right guild can do it. *cough*Panic*cough*. ;)

My only beef is why is all of FFS as a whole so determined to win every single titan that spawns. You guys have more titan gear than you know what to do with. I'm not saying to let other guilds win really but just maybe take a break. What more do u guys have to prove? You're all good titan hunters. We get it.

Unless you're just doing it out of pure enjoyment then I would understand. (how running around clicking your mouse mindlessly a thousand plus times is fun is beyond me) But if you're doing it just to prove how great you are and to keep the rest of the FS community from obtaining epic items then really you're just ruining the game for yourself and everyone else.

So nothing needs to be fixed....you just want FFS to quit hunting them? lol

Not what I said at all. I just think it would get tiresome and boring after awhile. Try some other aspect of the game. Titan hunting is just one of many.

Maybe the developers have been reading guild chats from the discouraged guilds and not just forums, because 1 guild takes the fun out of the game for most. when i was shopping for a guild a while back, 1 guild came across as the NY Yankees of titan hunting. I Hate the Yankees. people want to hunt titans, but when it becomes an unpleasant experience, people give up. GREAT IDEA guys

Have you looked at their members? You have levelers, arena champions, SE hunters and bounty hunters in there. About the only thing they do not do much of is GvG as it's hard in a large guild to effectively do it well.

one can only assume that this reply will be lost in the 40+ pages of this thread, but at the risk of wasting my time...


1 the 3 second delay was a major phale, remove it, all it has done is take the competitiveness out of titan hunting. i remember seeing many HCS staff members state that the titan hunting system was working as intended and that no changes will be made. before the changes many times FFS had some serious competition in some of the hunts, but now that technique and speed play no part, why bother, it is all a numbers game now, the more players hunting the better chance to win, and with 160 or so active members, what did you really think would happen??

2, there was a big support for titan points for 2nd-5th place, why RP?? silly and totally way off target, what does gvg have to do with titan hunting?? there is zero similarities, except the group effort, this change was a slap in the face to many of the use to be titan hunters and the gvg guilds, bring titan points to the table, ie 100 points for 2nd place, 75 3rd, 50 4th 25 for 5th and 1000 points of that titan brand will get a guild the titan item, or something along those lines, and i bet you will see much more competing. leave the RP with gvg, if we need more ways to generate RP, create some different GVG games.

3, spawn more titans at once, maybe 3 skali's and ogaliths at once, if the above 2 actions are taken, we might finally see some different guilds in the race.

the whole idea proposed in this topic i really don't understand, but it seems to me that a titan is spawned for 6 hours, get X kills within 6 hours and you win... maybe a great idea for a new type of creature, , but to do this to titans would wimpify them beyond recognition, and there are many of us who would get an epic on every attempt if it has endless HP. though maybe i am not understanding it 100%



i am sure there are many good suggestions within this thread, and am sure like mine, they won't be seen.

but based on what i see i will have to vote no, i'd rather see the 3 second delay demolished and be able to offer some competition again. and maybe some more titan based rewards for 2nd through 5th implemented.


*goes back to talking into the wind*


I agree except for the part about the delay. I'd like to see that reduced, but not elimniated entirely (now you know at least one other person read this) :D There are plenty more really good suggestions in this thread as to how to improve titan hunting to give more guilds a chance to win. And winning is fun, but for me, the thrill is in the competition against other guilds. Breathtaking!

i'm sorry, but everybody keeps talking about how titan hunting is supposed to be a competition. i missed that in the bylaws of titan hunting. and the domination of this topic by people talking about it being a competition is why this is the first time i've ever posted to the forum and probably the last.

Well...it is only ONE drop per Titan when they originally added them. So obviously it was about competition. A race to get the drop.

There is no RACE anymore.

Any change is a change for the better. Let's give it a shot and see how it works out.

This still gives a huge advantage to large guilds, but other than limiting the number of participants per titan hunt, or maybe the idea of titan kill points, I can't think of any other way to level the playing field out for small guilds.

this would completely destroy the not only the integrity of titan hunting, but also the market for Epics and RP as well, maybe RP shouldn't even be obtained through titans and some other components to make some other type of item(s).

also the Guild RP component rewards/ inventable items are long outdated, could use an update as well as inventable potions, and scavenging too.

for me, it's the competition for the kill - beating someone else to the spot and hitting the titan before they do. I'm not so concerned about drops.
