To be eligible for the incremental Titan rewards you will need to do the following:
1) Have done damage to the heat core of a Titan within one week prior to it going into meltdown.
2) You need to have earned a minimum of 2M credits from hitting the core (You earn less credits from the Titan when they still need weakening and have a high damage resistance)
Don't forget you also receive Arx from taking down hearts and gain more if you are a top contributor.
This needs further clarification. And before anyone dogpiles on to tell me it has already been clarified, the response is, "
No, it has not."
Far too may are assuming that point (2) inherits point (1)'s criteria; that the 2 million credits worth of damage must be dealt in the final week prior to going into meltdown. There's
nothing in those points to explicitly make that the case. There's
nothing creating a dependency of point (2) on point (1); there's no inheritance of point (1)'s boundary. Point (2) simply states
how much you have to earn, not a
time frame in which to earn it. And, as there's nothing explicitly forcing point (2) to inherit point (1)'s criteria, it's left unresolved with Commanders "filling in the blanks" with their own assumptions (which may or may not be correct).
It could just as validly be interpreted to mean:
"
Earn the 2 million credits at ANY time prior to Titan meltdown (not just within the last week)."
This is further supported by the qualifier:
"
(You earn less credits from the Titan when they still need weakening and have a high damage resistance)."
Titans will be severely weakened by the last week of their existence; they won't have high damage resistance. The high damage resistance will be present weeks and months prior to their final destruction. So why alert Commanders to less earnings potential outside of the Titan's last week of existence while attempting to accrue their 2 million credits worth of damage if - as far too many are assuming - that damage only counts in the Titan's final week when they will be weakened and earnings will be maximized?
It's poorly written and unclear, but I'm going to get flamed by people who - too strongly married to an unsupported assumption - are unwilling to dissect it more closely. If FDev
TRULY means those 2 million credits have to be earned in the final week prior to Titan meltdown, then it should have been written:
1) You need to have earned a minimum of 2M credits from hitting the heat core of a Titan within one week prior to it going into meltdown.
Just that and nothing more; no need for a point (2). The fact they made two separate points that have
NO connection to one another is yet further indication that point (2) does
NOT inherit a dependency from point (1); that the 2 million credits do
NOT need to be earned in the final week but, rather, can be earned at any time. Even if FDev intended point (2) to inherit point (1)'s time frame, they didn't make it clear.
@Paul_Crowther Can you clarify please: do the 2 million credits need to be earned
within the week prior to the Titan's meltdown or can they be earned at any time (while still requiring a final
coup de grâce hit on the heat core in the final week per point (1))?
