TGS Titan Event and Cactaur Earrings?

[neiris]

just the idea that getting something that looks that cool is just random chance seems weird
not to mention it's like best in slot for damn near every job until like level 29 o_O

This is why I'm very interested in these earrings. I can actually use them haha... (plus I like event goodies). I don't understand why there isn't a healthier selection of earrings pre level 29 - especially for casters.

That wouldn't make any sense. If that were the case, people would just make 8-man teams from the same server and kill Titan at TGS for earrings.

The worlds that get earrings are chosen via random-select. Every time Titan is killed, a new world is given earrings (that sounds quite silly out of context). Over the course of 4 days, it's highly likely that Titan will die enough for every server to get earrings.

We have no idea how the TGS/SE reps will handle party formations at the event. What if groups have to get "approved" before fighting? (If anyone actually knows, please chime in!) Also, if a server is chosen twice, I'm guessing they would reroll what server gets the earrings, right? >.>

That's true, we don't know how they're handling the party formations. I believe they've held similar primal battle demos at other events before, so perhaps people who have been to those know how this works?

In any case, I'm pretty sure they want to attract people to their booth and want to give out some t-shirts, so chances are that the reps will be on-hand to help walk players through the battle as necessary. The battle is also "refined especially for TGS", so we don't even know if it's at the same difficulty as (or harder/easier than) the normal Titan in game.


I'd assume no world can get chosen twice, but that's fairly unclear.

Well, we'll see how it goes! Keep your fingers crossed, I suppose.

I went to the Titan Challenge at PAX Prime and party formation works like standard amusement park lines. Everyone lines up. When you get to the front, they'll ask how many are in your party. If you have a group of 8, you'll all be in the same party (though people behind you may go first to fill in gaps). If you have 7, they'll look for the next single in line to join your party. Or, you might get lucky and YoshiP will fill in as dps for your party (happened to another group while I was waiting in line). If you don't have a full party, then it's worth talking to the people around you to figure out who will fill what role.

Oh, and if it's the same then tanks and healers are keyboard & mouse while dps are on PS3 controllers.
