So it sums up to an incompetence of the Cows in rooting out the altered and unaltered versions of TitanStride?
Again - HCS have been presented with a video showing how an unmodified version of titanstride actually works. Clearly, they did not approve.
The way the autoreload on the kill was integrated into the script, will of course have led to modified versions, auto killing from the get-go, so you as a human player, no longer needed the one click that was required to autobash the remaining hp outta the titan, on that spot. Those of you who keep claiming it is not automation, seem to forget that others have been using/testing the script as well, and might also be able to see the possibilities in the way the script was put together. Not to mention how others may also have seen how certain player have moved guilds, and suddenly their new guild managed to get a bunch of titan secures ... not tossing out names, just saying ;-)
And I'd like to ask everyone here who supports the removal of TitanStride: When was the last active titan hunt you've participated in?
I fail to see the relevance.
And ragingwave, I would like to point out, that your main argument is flawed. You keep referring to speed of connection vs speed of fingers. The flaw lies in the simple fact, that those with speedy connections, could also have speedy fingers, and therefor should be first on spot, and first on kill. This goes with or without titanstride, as well as on old or new map.
I need to clear up something though, since I am not 100% certain on this, but the new map should be approx the same speed for all, yes? Something in the way it has been written?
If TitanStride is so flawed, why is it that they approved it to begin with? And if modified scripts are so tough to detect, who's to say that people won't modify FSH and add in the features of TitanStride? I'm not defending the modifications. If HCS can distinguish them, I'd love to see them removed. Go ahead, ban the modified versions, but there is no reason to ban TitanStride itself. I've lost count of how many times I've said it: the only approved version of TitanStride can be used by anyone, so noone is handicapped by TitanStride... Modified versions pose a completely different issue.
And I'm not clear as to what you mean by autoreload on kill. The map autoreloads independantly of your kills, as far as I know. The world map doesn't autorefresh after each kill either, if you mash the mouse button.
I ask the question because I want to know how many comments are from actual active titan hunters. It's a titan hunting issue, and it only makes sense that the active titan hunters should have their opinions stand out from the others, to me. Those who do not actively participate in titan hunts have little business in this issue... I won't pretend that I'm an expert, since I'm new to the titan hunting aspect of the game, but people with crystal medals should have their opinions valued over those without titan medals, I believe.
This flaw in my main argument...
I fail to see it. Of course those who have fast fingers and fast connections will be first; but by disabling TitanStride, you're removing the importance of having fast fingers. Competition from thenceforth will be based purely on connection speed, which most certainly won't be to the benefit of the majority of FS.
And your counterargument has a simple flaw to it as well: those with fast fingers and fast connections are no longer necessarily the first on spot; it's simply those who have a fast connection and people stationed around the map, now. Without TitanStride, it's perfectly plausible for a player with fast fingers/connection to blaze across the map and reach a titan before an less skilled one; with Beta, the player is forced to stare at the lil' guy on the map leisurely stroll across to the titan, where it's likely to be dead when he gets there.
As for connection speed, if you lag, naturally, your character lags with you. If your connection is faster, your computer will naturally load the square the titan is on faster, and you'll get the kill before the others.
You miss the point.
installing titanstride/lightwalk is just the first step.
Put you and me in the same room, using the same connection, same titanstride, with me using the computer I am posting on, I will blitz you. I will absolutely leave you for dead. titan stride favours those who know more about computers than others. The more you know, the faster you can make titan stride work.
It's not a case of just installing it
those who do and think they will be on par are sorely mistaken.
I don't want to start to call your knowledge/titan hunting experience into question but you do seem to be barking up a lot of wrong trees.
You're absolutely right. You would blitz me, and I have no doubts about it. I'm not pretending to be an expert, but I've been doing just fine on the titan field with TitanStride enabled for everyone, with no extra computer modifications. However, when forced to use beta to titan hunt, I can barely get to the spot, let alone get there first. It's an unnecessary hassle, when there isn't even such a major problem with titan hunting as is. All this script banning didn't come from an issue with titan hunting, but from an issue with script security..?
