You act like Fdev has already been clear about how this works, but these new requirements only came about because someone asked a question about it.
Titan Rewards Update
- Thread starter Paul_Crowther
- Start date
Dear Pilots' Circle Administrators,
Medicorp extends its gratitude for the clarifications provided regarding rewards tied to Titan destruction. However, considering your announcement was made just hours before Taranis's meltdown, a significant effort is required to rescue the pods kidnapped by Titans before the explosion.
Our rescuers adhere strictly to a no-armed ships guideline.
Additionally, while destroying a Titan is undoubtedly a great accomplishment for mankind, saving lives is equally crucial, wouldn't you agree?
Therefore, we suggest adding a third condition for unlocking rewards: extract and return (within the week preceding the Titan's meltdown) X number of pods to the rescue ship.
What are your thoughts on this?
The families of the kidnapped express their thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Medicorp

If nothing else, today I learned the word "phylactery". I am now smarter than I was just ten minutes ago.
I am not so sure it is a change as it is a "oh, by the way, we forgot to tell you some prerequisites" thing.Not sure I like that change, seems unnecessarily restrictive, but hey at least we know the rule.
The real talent is slipping it into conversation, casually...
Clarity is important, definitely.
Thanks for igniting an interesting discussion on our side!
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.
ARGHHHHH!
(Paul is Achilles in this scenario by the way in case it's not clear)
I just spent the last two days tagging all the Titan's dude!
Well I would say we were told early enough. I assume it's going to be some time until the next Titan falls, so now people know that cheesing the rewards is a nuh-uh
.
So at the moment attacking the dangly pineapples is just for fun/credits/ARX, and when we think there's less than a week of life left in one of the beasties we should pile in and do 2 million credits worth of vandalism to get the cosmetics.
Hopefully there'll be news announcements/inbox pings for sleepy Cmdrs when Fdev think it's getting near time, Taranis was pretty well advertised (if a little too close to meltdown point, perhaps the Cmdr response was much higher then expected).
I actually knew Phil Actery, was in Sixth Form with him, good bloke.

Do I get a warning if I say better than if you spent your days... no I can't say it. Replace the "a" in tagging with a "u" and let your dirty mind play it out.
You've been listening to too much Lave Radio!
you think?You've been listening to too much Lave Radio!
He is just slow
There needs to be some method to know if you're meeting the criteria, rather than just guesswork, especially since we don't actually know when the "end" will actually be, so it's not like you can plan to do your contribution at a given time.
Also, imagine if you will someone singlehandedly (I know it's pretty much impossible, but for the sake of argument) destroyed all but one heart, then wasn't able to play for the final week. As I understand it now, they'd not get the reward and that's monstrously unfair given the huge contribution they made to the overall kill.
I don't think that time frame criteria is a good idea at all...

I have no problem with the new requirements. I just think it's a bit funny that it took a full week for the community to understand the message was "no, you don't have to kill a Titan heart/core, ANY damage will do" and when everyone got it, Frontier goes ahead and changes it to:
You don't have to kill a Titan heart/core, ANY* damage will do.
*) As long as it's worth 2m**credits
**) Damage credit worth depends on Titan resistance
Oh, and only the final week counts.

Perhaps they should just give a decal, ship kit & 10,000 Arx to anyone who logs in during the final week instead, you know, like a participation in an event trophy given just for turning up?I have no problem with the new requirements.

Even then there would be players who missed it...
