Some talk of the new system here- I tried it in the beginning and then wanted to wait a bit. Do they have titans on the alpha that we can try titan hunting in the new map system yet? I'd like to be able to give it a true go over there before it is implemented here.

I am in a guild, possibly one you are referring to and i must say that if LW wasnt available to everyone then some of the guilds that do secure occassionally would NOT and those that in future attempt would NOT, someone with the type of internet connections available can literally cross the map before an average person can move 2 or 3 squares, with LW an average person can effectively cover probably double that with a lil practice and as others have said some browser tuning, these uber fast connections have an instantaneous refresh, meaning while you are waiting for your screen to refresh they have probably moved 5 or 6 squares already, those that choose not to use LW are pretty much dead in the water IF you want to secure, not because LW gives an unfair advantage, but because having no LW gives the power and advantage back to the uber connections, and then only guilds with players that have uber connections can ever stand a chance other than putting 10 or 15 people on the map all spaced 3 squares apart, even then 2 or 3 of these uber hunters can still run rampant with a lil support from a few slower people. Ive seen it over and over, LW is pretty much your only available defense and even then it doesnt always save ya.

Im wondering Why not HCs add this LW feature for game ... Is it hard ?


If you read previous posts on this thread, they are getting rid of LW altogether in the new interface (whenever that comes out). They have posted several times that it does provide an ADVANTAGE to the user that has it. They are adding a similar lag or response time for everyone so it will level the field. However it needs to be system wide and not some outside 3rd party.

We are going over and over the same points I feel. I disagree about the leveling of the playing field. It is not available to everyone (doesn't work for me). The same people are dominating the field, just faster now.

I am not trying to use specific guilds or player names, because this is more of a system wide issue.

Actually, LW just made it EASIER for the top guilds to secure the victory. It is true they have more hunters out in the field and are very experienced. Excluding those factors, the time for titan events has gone down drastically + the same guilds are securing the events. I believe the time for the events is going down, as a result of LW, not more hunters on the field. That is horrible.

Less time on events = lesser chance to get TKPs for people will a bad connection

Elite hunters using LW = even lesser chance for people with a bad connection

Perhaps with the new system, this stuff will get resolved. However until then, this is how I see it. As does several other hunters I have spoken with after a hunt.

Lets fix your formula here.

Less time on events = more people from big guilds hunting it. Who wants to go after a titan for 8 hours to kill it? NO ONE. And, the faster they are killed, the faster new ones spawn. More spawning = more drops, through tkp or otherwise. More drops = faster devaluing, meaning that more people can afford them. Its a win - win ;)

You say it does not work for you. But what is keeping you from downloading and using Firefox?

Okay, let this thread die.
This thread is basically BS.
TC/OP definitely doesn't have any idea what Titan Hunting is.
LW is just one tiny factor of Titan Hunting. It has very little relevance to current Titan domination, or whatev. In fact it levels the playing field somewhat. That is not an opinion, that is a fact which can't be argued. Period.

Second, scripting is the main reason why titan hunt is so impossible to do. As I'm writing it now, somebody is killing the Collosus without even stepping on it. I didn't kill any Collosus, I just stood there on where it respawned and rapidly clicked repair [r] to see who is hunting it. And poof, it disappeared right in front of my eyes, yet I never did see anyone beside myself standing on it. Not even once. Unless there's a Titan-killing-Ghost in Sorrows Abyss (Fissure) realm, I don't have any other explanation for that beside obvious scripting. That is also a fact. Period.

There, told you what's really happening.
If you want to whine, at least do it correctly.

My suggestion is to eliminate non-elemental titans until Hunted Cow Studios fix the Light Walk (LW) problem. BigGrim and other developers have said in past threads that it is an "unfair advantage".

I don't think people should be able to profit from blatant cheating. It is basically a GIANT win button for epics.

I presume since the problem hasn't been fixed yet, that they can't detect LW users. So, this seems like a logical way to slow down the proliferation of unearned epics into the game.

COWS, look at the titan kill log. There is a reason only 2 to 4 guilds bother to really try anymore. because they have mastered LW use and have taken away any chance for anyone else to compete.

P.S I know this is drastic, but Titan Epics have no meaning if you can use a program to help you auto win them.

Last ditch effort to fix titan hunting,

Windbattle.


we talked about this yesterday the only reason they are dominating now is volume of players i to have trouble getting members of my guild motivated to titan hunt but you know what i still do and yes i use LW its not there other guilds fault they have a band of players that show up and hunt them together as a team thats whats beats us not light walk light walk has been approved for use for some time get more hunters in your guild or try and get the cow to limit the amount of hunters from a single guild on a particular titan hunt now that would level the field but would be unfair and wrong to the guilds that have gotten there acts together do i wish more of my guilds mates would help hell yes i do but they dont so either keep pluggin away and stop grippin about it cuz its not going to change

.



I don't doubt scripting at all, but I also think it has to do with different serve times. for instance the other day.I went to go hunting, there sitting on the portal was my wife.and yet she had been hunting for about 10 minutes. another example I was the highest bidder on an auction, when it ended. a few seconds latter. I got out bid on the auction that had already ended.
