Good to see this titan is dying slower then the colossus does... and its only been out 2 times, looks to me as if something should be done to help this situation??? or maybe not


Always was going to, even sooner than I thought, this is what happens when they don't listen, and don't actually play the game, it becomes a failure.

Item slot needs changing, or the stats, potion or dark realm needs changing, or this Titan is going to be as much, if not more of a failure than the Colossus used to be.

It's now been up more than 48 hrs. The complaint is not "The titan is too hard." The complaint is, the reward does not justify the time and effort for enough people to do this. Future instances will also likely last this long, unless something is changed.

If Ogalith dropped Gloves of Decay, it also would be up for days, but it would not be because it's too hard. It would be because the reward did not justify the time and effort.

Personnally.. I don't think it should be changed...

Yes, It is HARD! Yes, The Map is HUGE and on top of it, it's in the Dark, Yes it does take SO much effort compared to past Titans... but isn't this what keeps us playing FS? The Challenge, The Difficulty?

For most titan hunters, it is about evaluating the cost (effort) vs. benefit. For most, the Aether Guardian fails. Unless the effort is reduced OR the reward is made better, it will not be hunted.

The Colossus is not hard, but it languishes for the same reason, poor cost to benefit ratio.

I'll still hunt it if no changes are made as will others in my guild and allies I have spoken too... So yes, it will still be hunted, maybe not by everyone.. but not everyone is in it for sole profit, some enjoy a challenge, which this sure is!

My point, ultimately, is, if the goal was to create a 'popular' titan/reward, it is a failure. If the goal was to create a 'challenge', it is a success.

I'm sure that HCS take all aspects into account, they can't always please EVERYONE..

This titan offers a great challenge... some will be happy, some will not... simple as that really.

Other Titans we have don't really offer much of a challenge to be fair, so this one is a breath of fresh air, nice to mix it up a bit and offer us a challenge rather than another easily defeated Titan for those that just play for greed and profit.

the pvp shields are useless ( in some ways ) because of the skill, but not everyone uses ONLY sets when hunting/pvp-ing. the hunting shield is still very good to use.

It is, but it now isn't the highest damage setup, like it was

I could show you one with attack/defense and full damage, but not just attack and damage

i've tested the new beta map and if the titan's map is still dark, i will throw a party if the guardian will be killed in 2 weeks.
