Titan hunting is about dedication and skill and patience.
i know people who sleep in shifts for an entire weekend waiting for a particular titan.
that is part of the challenge.
organization and dedication - the best Titan hunters have it, and i do not see them complaining.
wickerman will not be easy. waiting is part of the challenge.
besides, which timezones should be favored if HC is going to force a spawn ?

This has nothing to do with Wicker. You can have all the dedication and organization you want but the fact of the matter is it doesn't matter if it doesn't spawn. Honestly no one cares when they force a spawn we just want to have some fun with a Titan!

:roll:
You might have noticed most of the players with gold/crystal titan medals are getting a bit bored of waiting and posting in the forums. A gold/crystal titan medal player is typically one of the best titan hunters in the game. Waiting is not a challenge, waiting is just passing time and takes no skill to complete that challenge.

specifically waiting just for Wickerman to spawn is not about fun.
it is about greed.
well, someone hunted Tsukiyaomo and someone still is, so someone is having fun.
if you are not, that is your choice.

A low level player, waiting to have a crack at a wickerman and a chance at having their own epic armor is greedy? Kraken requires quests to do, that leaves oggy, and the once a year wicker for low levels to hunt.

Agreed, 'tis bad form! For an "event" this has been completely mishandled again this year. I'm not sure forcing a spawn is the only answer but the fact some Titans spend days if not weeks without being touched should be a signal to the devs something is amiss.I don't want to hunt this personally, but it is pretty poor form for the people who have been waiting a year for this.

Thats another issue that should be dealt with by the devs.
Ie: titans regain #% hp per day, while securing guilds Kills on said titan decay by that same % each day. That or give a bigger bonus of tkp towards kills, so more players are inclined to go "clean up" titans.
Titans sitting there for weeks on end is silly.

LOL. you must be joking, like you were about titans blocking the spawn of other titans.A low level player, waiting to have a crack at a wickerman and a chance at having their own epic armor is greedy? Kraken requires quests to do, that leaves oggy, and the once a year wicker for low levels to hunt.
specifically waiting just for Wickerman to spawn is not about fun.
it is about greed..
FFS and Rise Against will get Wickerman armor as drops probably.
other good Titan Hunting guilds can earn them via TKP if there are enough spawns.
but a low-level player winding up with it? not likely.
and if your guild is mainly in europe or asia, fuggetaboudit.
if you are not in a good titan hunting guild, use the distraction of Wickerman to hunt Kraken or Ogalith.
That is because wickerman will be mobbed, and you will be frustrated if you wait for Wickerman and find the titan dead before you can move to it. That is how it will be for all but the fast titan hunters.

I truly hope players aren't discouraged from hunting based on their geographical location after reading this line. It's so blatantly false it's cringe worthy.A low level player, waiting to have a crack at a wickerman and a chance at having their own epic armor is greedy? Kraken requires quests to do, that leaves oggy, and the once a year wicker for low levels to hunt.

There are many players from asia and europe who can foot it with the best US hunters.

Skaldir is out. everyone level 300 and over who just wants to have fun hunting a Titan, go get him.
Your not getting the point, We have waited a roughly 365 Days or roughly 8,760 Hours or roughly 525,600 minutes or roughly 31,536,000 seconds just to hunt this titan. We can hunt Skally, Oggie, Tsuki, Collos, Kraken all year around but we only have 2 weeks to hunt Wicker and he isn't spawning.

Titan hunting is about fast connection that's it . forced spawns or not ... the fast connection players will own the titan field no matter what...
So best way to make this titan fair for all make it available for 24-48 hours with unlimited hp then everyone will have chance to get kills even while they are slow and reward just available through tkp...

I can see why FFS and Rise Against wouldn't like that idea (see post just above), because it would break their duopoly and cut into profit margins.

Unlimited titan HP for the Wickerman is a great idea, but I would then see the event reduced to 1 week.

The point of Wickerman being seasonal is to keep the drop pretty rare. Do you even realize how many Titan kills could be done in just one week? With the over hunting of Wicker it would be easy to say there would be around or over 3,000 kills per hour. You can do the math and see how many armors that is equivalent to. Besides this concept breaks the entire idea of what a Titan is in the first place.
