The 1 second delay is a tad too short. It opened the door to Scripters again. We changed it to 2 seconds as we believe this is fair and keeps all connection speed on a level playing field.
there was no issue with scripting...Hoof saw a few people say 2 seconds and went with it...1 second made it pretty close to the old days with a fun pace, but still let the titan sit for a bit for others to get kills, 2 and 3 seconds essentially drag on the hunt. Especially for a colossus or tsuki where there are very few hunters and often its 1 person sitting there waiting 2 seconds or more to get each kill. Not to mention the higher the delay the more map a faster person can cover.
I have done all 3 systems 0, 3, 1. I can get about 1000 kills a titan in each system, the difference is the 1 with the delay is hardly fun, 1 brought some thrill of running to the titan 1st and trying to get kills before it was gone. A game should be about challenges to overcome, not win keys to allow anyone with 1/2 a brain to do well.
I'll just say its a lot more challenging and fun when you know you have to be attentive and if you miss click 1 time on the way to the titan you may miss the kills.
Most of the people who hunt all the time would agree...but probably not the people who just come on here hunt once and complain they didnt win or do well their 1st try.
