Remember, pre-patch it would have jumped out after DD'ing and bubbles wouldn't have mattered. So Goon, you need to thank CCP more than brag about how badass you are. Props for brining the numbers though.
Cosmo: No, i wont thank CCP. The Titan should NEVER have been able to DD then insta jump to safety. Nor should it have been able to Remote DD. they were just stupid from the start. I remember looking at those abilities on my first day in game going "im going to pilot one of them" (how wrong i was).
Whilst i dont know any of the details of this kill bar the fact it is aparantly dead...i dont think trying to claim goons did nothing and we should thank CCP for allowing us the privaledge of killing it.
oh and "Pre Patch" is always a great excuse...."pre patch" i could have nanophooned your titan...or "pre patch" i could have used my 6 Slot MWD Raven...back to the very first alpha of eve...Get with the times
Titans should die more often now, because of this patch. Before they were invincible. Be happy you killed one, but to act like the other kills on Titans were not legit is silly. They were killed the only way one could kill them. Be excited sure, but dont discredit other kills on Titan just to make yours seem like the best one.
I am not one to post on the forums but I will say this.
As much as you want to say the way the others went down was legit or not. the perception and really the general feeling is that you killed a titan through devious means. Killing a titan without the pilot even being able to defend himself wheather you think you can't kill him or not is no excuse to use those methods. You can give me whatever hoax's pokeus you want to try and justify the method it won't change the perception of it.
Wheather you want credit for the other kills or not this one will get credit cause it was done in such a way that it is not given the appearance of deviousness. They killed the Titan on the field of battle, patch or no patch something you cannot claim yet.
Unfortunately you will never get the respect or props for killing the first titan for the simple fact of how you killed them.
Well, since someone else is making some RL marine analogies or something, maybe I can get away with one.
The other two titan kills were the equivalent of some guy being at a party and finding a girl passed out drunk in the coat room. Since he's had zero luck getting any leg all night, he does his thing and then goes and brags to his mates that he finally just got laid.
This titan kill is more like a still sober female in a bar playing coy, but then finally bending over in a back room and taking it like a champ. The conquering hero then goes and has a beer with his mates to celebrate the fine occasion.
It could be sort of funny and yet disturbing if you look at it in that light.
"Interesting" comparison
