Placing first place soloing is very easy now that you dont have to worry about ffs/ttf being there every time lol...


Everything running smoothly (I.e no bugs), others will always go for them, so it wont be easy. Especially now like you said FFS/TTF wont be there every time, more guilds will be trying their luck at it. Even with a guild it is still a challenge to get 1st place, so again hats off to those who are able to legitimately solo them.

Its been easy without ttf/ffs there, way too easy. Have you hunted lately its either a ghost town in titan maps or many slow people there. Wonder if other guilds will actually try to form teams to win/secure titans to create some sort of challenge to titan hunting. Right now competition is very non existent and its boring lol.

If it has been so easy, why haven't any other guilds been able to secure a wickerman/fatty/the 2 new ones in the last 3 days? :wink:

So my final question on this...will solo players who get first place also have 7 day cooldown period for that titan? I do not think that would be a fair situation if they do not.

yep. and if they join another guild there's another 7 day wait before they can hunt titans as well..

seems completely reasonable. 8)

Hi I'm an idiot:

This not fair.

This nice fair.

Okay... thanks for the summary.

Now could we get around to having things work the way they are supposed to? Wait, was that spam?

Yes spam bad.

No not spam bad.

I would personally like to not be cooled down when I don't have a friggin item...

More on topic... no item for less than 50%. No single player TKP... or refund every guild's Scout Tower costs... hey HCS... thought I'd translate all the mumbo-jumbo into plain FS English for ya ,oP

All I see, is a loophole for easy titan secures. Will it occur alot? who knows. will it occur on every titan? Again, who knows. BUT the fact is, is CAN happen( as we have seen) . So imo hcs should close the loophole. ( since they have been focusing on titans and the titan hunting system)

50%+1 kills of a titan to secure a drop, regardless of whether not someone is solo, or in a guild.


What if a guildless player gets the most kills, but less than 50% + 1 kill? There isn't current TKP for guildless players. I think it works quite well the way it is as it's harder to get the most kills as a guildless player compared to having several players in a guild contributing.

I do think though that if a player leaves a guild, the current titan cooldowns for the guild should be applied to them.

I agree with Maehdros, and I always assumed it worked like that; over 50% of the kills or you wont get anything as a guildless player. If they want TKP they can simply start up a solo guild. Titans are supposed to be a guild effort after all..

Being in a guild for 7 days before you can hunt a titan is stupid....you don't have to wait 7 days to gvg, so why should you have to wait 7 days to titan hunt?


It's to prevent guild hopping to circumvent the titan cooldown.

Why would it be 1 man effort ? titan aspect is guild effort.. if he/she want to get TKP he should make guild wont cost him/her much...

Theres more incentive to get around the system by being guild-less. Place first on a titan,get the drop,join a guild for 2 seconds leave, Repeat...

pretty sure there was mention about that not being a possibility or at least being fixed shortly.

When did Titan hunting become the sole domain of a few guilds and a vocal few whiners? Some are whining about not being able to monopolize any longer, some about NOT enough competition with the cool down, some about ONE (count him, ONE) guildless player who fluked a drop.

Allow Hoof to play this out. If there is guild hopping abuse, he'll close the hole. But flogging a dead parrot just points out you're sedentary tendencies.

[Edit]
Swearing, even starred out, is not acceptable on the forums. Cheers!

Titan hunting since it's creation was the sole domain of a few guilds. It pushed FFS into overdrive back when they controlled the hunts.

Prior to joining them and then after leaving. I know there were many who quickly looked at FFS's activity prior to heading to the hunting grounds.

Hopefully this equalizes it but who knows. People will find ways to exploit.

I would humbly suggest that this topic has been talked into the ground, it's obvious that all the posters have strong feelings about it, and no minds are going to be changed. I would suggest that we let it lie for several weeks, and see what happens. Right now a lot of the arguments are conjecture.

With no titans to speak of for the whole sunday, it's calmed down anyway :)

We've fixed an issue with the titan cooldown where it was saying it was active when attacking a titan when it wasn't.

Apologies about that!

~ The Fallen Sword Team


15:38 12/Nov/2012 Your guild gained 1,448 Titan Kill Points from your guild's contribution to the defeat of the titan 'Fawkes Wickerman (Titan)'. Your guild also received a bonus 1,448 Titan Kill Points for achieving the most kills.
15:38 12/Nov/2012 As your guild now has enough TKP to obtain the reward for the titan 'Fawkes Wickerman (Titan)', a 7 day cooldown has been activated on your guild for this titan. This only affects this particular titan and your guild can still hunt other titans during the cooldown.


we still need over 1k tkp to get the reward

edit: Fawkes Wickerman (Titan) 4,375 TKP 3068 TKP
