Thread: 2142 top5 is now 2142 Titan

moving titans have no need to be tested. the game is not playable to the standards we play it with the titans moving. It's yet another stability risk, increases the amount of resources needed for the instances, and the game code itself simply can't keep up with it. So....no.

How long is this going to last?
like, is it permanent?

....nothing is permanent. If we don't like it, if it is less stable, less popular, less quality than what we had before....we go back to top5.

(I've never seen a server that can handle mating titans without a pretty noticable impact.) So, it can be made to work, but you have to make sure the titans don't get to close- an "admin intensive" process. It would be really cool if the next patch would have an option to set a "minimum Titan distance" parameter. Not holding my breath on that!

so.....in summary of what you just said...

"it can be made to work, so long as people don't shoot at the titan with the AA guns, or the titans don't get too close together with too many people on them"

Guess what......that means it doesn't work, since that what the game is about.

On our servers, you can shoot up the titan all you want, board it all you want, attack, defend, whatever...no issues, no server lag, no stability.

our way is superior to moving titans.

God yes. I could play nothing but titan all damn day.

It is kind of cool to have the frickin' crazy bloodbath when the titans are within podding distance. Down side is the darn titan guns blasting away the whole round. Definitely changes the game.

so are you saying that moving titans is playable, or not?

almost working and working are two different things. TTP will always go with what works over any other alternatives.
