The last update included the ability to kill Titans, we had no way of knowing that. Taranis was already weak and it was attacked from the start so things happened quite quickly.
taranis was already weak as it was attacked from the start. and you had no idea that it will fall first? its not like we didnt see it coming...
while it did indeed fall very fast, it is a testament to the collective effort of all the players that actually paid attention, were active or came back for the show, and were present at the right place in the right time indeed. thats how rewards work.
They also mentioned that the loot would get better and better.
really? where? you mean cosmetics relfecting commanders progress in the titan slaying? the stars and bars on decals?
(not like i can say that the rewards arent actually getting better and better with this new cg)
It LOOKED like the loot might work in the way we now know it does, but you know Frontiers track record with wording. Honestly I wasn't sure until Leigong went down.
you might need glasses because we saw it just fine. (we who were there)
Frontier then had to specify the timeframe you needed to be within to get valid bonds, one week. Soon after Taranis went down and I am pretty sure some people got caught out.
though it wasnt as much as specifying the rules after its death, was it? fdev did retroactively made the rules easier (twice!) - you just had to be in the system to qualify for rewards. going forward you will have to qualify in the right timerframe...
im pretty sure some people get caught out. which is unfortunate, but thats just life sometimes, isnt it?
Now we know what the rules are: You are only going to get the rewards for participating in this TWO YEAR LONG story arc if you are playing the week each and every titan goes down.
the thing is... (correct me if im wrong) but the people who
actually did actively and regularly participate in the 2 year story
are there for the last week of titans life. as well as for the middle as they were there on the first week of titans arrival.
none of them have problem with understanding if 2 million are 2 million, none of them have problem with understanding that week is a week, none of them have problem with understanding that explosion is explosion and meltdown is a meltdown and that free arx go brrr with free ship kits as a cherry on the top. (god forbid three more paint jobs just for sticking your nose for a bit into titans remains)
who are there more than a week, getting more than 2 million, there when the hearts fall, there when the last core gets destroyed, there for the countdown and for the explosion; those get rewarded. as they should.
if you are trying to just weasel yourself in for the rewards you might have some difficulties, perhaps. though the bar had been set so low that i think some people are trying to limbo with satan in hell.
if you are not able to participate in any way for absolutely unavoidable reasons (or you are just normal person with normal priorities in life) then im sorry you dont get the free pc game cosmetics thingy, but thats just life sometimes, isnt it?
No, you have no way of knowing when these weeks are going to happen.
if you stay in the loop, pay attention and are active in the game, you will know when.
Yes, it will happen over the summer vacation.
yes, it might happen over the summer vacation. if you are on a beach and you are grumpy cos you dont get pixel bling for big pixel starfish go boom then what are you doing my friend?
No, you have no way of knowing what the rewards are so you can determine if you think it's worth it. Yes, you will loose rewards from the "shiny end" if you miss a titan.
yes, there is a very good way how to 'predict' what ships are going to get the rewards. its called logic. if you are confused what the nature of the rewards is going to be, then perhaps refer game news...
surely
the perfect FOMO machine.
do not succumb to the fomo! be vigilant! resist! stay with us! :c
