If size of stacks per Titan spawn are increased to 10+ there will be no need to increase the delay as people will still get a fair amount of kills even with 1 sec..We can let this sytem work for a week or 2 as it is and then discuss further tweaks i think :)


I was about to say the same thing, increase the stacks for each spawn to 10+ and the 1 second delay will be enough.
At least try this in stages. increase stacks first (run test) then if necessary increase the to 2 second dealy if needed.

"We have just improved the Titans by unlinked them from the Guild RP rewards.!
"Titans now reward guilds with TKP (Titan Kill Points) which are unique to each different titan."

...So those players that are SOLO... are locked out of the Titan rewards now?!

Even a friend of mine that is Solo tells me he can NOT see the new Titan Rewards screen and since the Titans are now: "...unlinked them from the Guild RP rewards"

..uh, that's just not right.

Hoof, thoughts on this?


I suppose if one is in a Solo guild they can see the Titan rewards, cant they?..Maybe it requires building a scout tower if they cant?

It makes sense to be a feature addressed to guilds though and not solo players so the Tita Rewards link is correctly placed in the "Guild" actions menu


Thanks but um, I guess I should have been even more clear.
I was asking about Solo Players, as in NOT IN A GUILD.

Not solo Founders like our favorite PHOOL. :cry:

Players that are not in a guild.
Can no longer can get RP from doing solo hunts form the update and now
and cant even access the guild Titan Rewards so they are completely removed from being to win these items themselves.

I want to be able to Hunt a couple of Titans while on my Tour of Fallen Sword and not only
gain these Titan Kill Points while I'm IN a guild, but while as a Solo Player (guildless) also.

This has been mentioned here before though its hard to find through all this ranting on about:
"This guild, or That Player" and NOT the Update.

Thanks :-)

Titan hunting is a guild pursuit and as such, guild-less players should be exempt from any rewards.

Did they really get RP before?

Thanks for having the will to make this change, Hoof. Hopefully now people will see that they can gain good rewards from titan hunting and will be more eager to participate.

I have only taken part in one hunt since the change, but it appears to me as if the delay is totally gone? I'm in Europe, so this really significantly effected my ability to titan hunt. Could you please take a look and double check that the 1 second delay is working as intended?

As others mentioned, implementing larger stacks might help us foreign hunters. I'd suggest trialling the current system for a little, then trialling larger stacks with the same delay and then trialling with a 2 second delay, just to see which benefits the community as a whole rather than just the US hunters.

Thanks again, Hoof et al.

I wish I could add more than a +1 but you summed it up brilliantly.

About those few Solo Players.

Make it so what TKP they get sticks to them, and when they join/create a guild, all that TKP sticks to the guild they've just joined and then they can get the reward like that ?

Personally I don't like it much myself as it's meant to be a Guild effort but you'll still get some saying it's unfair :?

I actually think it should stay within a guild, it encourages loyalty. I am sure most guilds would allow TKP to be stacked up and redeemed once a player has contributed enough to obtain an item.

If someone doesn't trust the guild leadership, they can always fly solo in their own guild.

Do the Elemental titans give TKP rewards? They should cause they give TKP but I dont see the rewards in the Titan Rewards page.

15:30 04/May/2010 Your guild obtained 130 Titan Kill Points from your guild's contribution to the defeat of the titan 'Earth Guardian (Titan)'.

The points are useless .... I don't see a point in bothering with those as they are how they should be. Aside from them counting on medals, there's now no reason to "farm" them.

Hoof said somewhere (in this thread maybe) that the TKP form elementals don't do anything........yet!

I am sure they will have some use in the future.

I was not online since the majority of this forum drama began to unfold, or through the mass of recent titan spawns but for a few brief moments. My sole issue with the update is that first place must obtain greater then 50% of the kills to get the drop. Aside from that I have no problems whatsoever with it at all. This changes the face of titan hunting, that's undeniable, any guild with a bit of patience and a few players, can eventually obtain a drop without paying for it at all. Duane leaving, I had no idea, perhaps I can call him today and see what occurred. I will not rely on second hand speculation. This update is fair in that every guild can now earn their own epics.

Is it? Before you could gain RP...use it to buy Epic comp. then sell those for FSP to BUY and Epic cheaper for most and quicker then with TKP. Or use the RP to the guilds benefit to run Plan B.

Now people have been given a carrot dangled in front of their noses.


Placing at #2 in 5 Oggy hunts awards you a pair of gloves..Do you get a similar reward out of 500 RP?

As for Titan specific points that were mentioned above..they had to be specific otherwise everyone would farm Colossus to get the other drops


Who cares if the Colossus is farmed for TKP? Is it ever going to be truly hunted again right now? If people want to waste the enormous amount of stamina required to farm it. Lol....so be it. Whats the problem with that?

Nope...there is no real world proof that placing 2nd on Oggy 5 times gets you the gloves. It's 2nd, five times with enough kills.

The 500 rp could be used for the leveling pack as well. Not JUST for the Titan you hunted.

Oggy gloves... 1000 FSP... 500 RP.... 200 FSP.... even if it's 10 times, oggy gloves are worth more.

Here's a fun question - Forn said that 1st place on elemental titans should have been rewarded RP and once it was fixed it would be given out retroactively...will that still be the case?

Well. That's 15 pages of disgraceful behaviour removed and a few forum bans handed out. Let's try to keep this thread working as it ought to, yes?

Would this possibly persuade you to bring back some Mods?
