Well? Did you only research one level of Titan construction? You need to research all four levels to get full build.

So many people do not understand this... Even when it specifically says so at the description of each titan prototype tech... People:

Y U NO READ?

Elemental: Reforged

Lol I though that too, until I looked at the research stuff and got it.

Yea, this one got me too at first.  but I at least went back in and fully read the research notes and thought to myself oh I'm a dumb shit! :S

Lol when I first saw it I was like cool I could build a full titan with only tier 1 research?

Although I want to see a debate on whether or not the Titan research should start at Tier 1, perhaps maybe even 4 with at least all of the other combat weapon system upgraded first. Not only that, each tier should requires all of the weapon research that is available before research that tier of titan. Although this is more a modding/balance issue.

Like just about everyone else I was briefly confused by this. I glanced at the research just enough to figure out how to start building it and just assumed it was taking forever. It was not until I went back to see what the other research upgrades were in the titan construction line that I noticed I needed more stages to finish it.

 

That being said, yes we will all know better eventually, but I would not be opposed to a simple message/alert being added to remind new (and forgetful) players that their titan has hit a wall in construction. It is an unusual new mechanic for builds to stop like that, and since other players are notified when we begin construction anyway I see nothing wrong with a simple alert to let us know our own titan has halted production and requires more research to continue building.

I think it is fine if you are able to start research for a titan at tech tier 1, but only when they get nerfed. At this point titans are way too overpowered, so if they stay that way the techs for it should be moved up in the tech tree in my opinion.

Titan's need to be moved up the tech tree. It is way too dam easy to just beeline the Titan and practically just hit "I win" button.

There really should be a series of weapon upgrades before hand at least before you can just randomly jump into Titans. I mean superweapons you have to research that entire line of upgrades to the last tier. (Well not anymore with loyalists)

Maybe since this is beta and everybody wants Titans, they made it really easy to acquire one.
