I'm probably going to leave soon and try another FC; and if that doesn't work I've had my eyes on Gilgamesh for a while lol(wanna join an RP community).

Hello there!

Im in the same position as you with Titan Extreme. You are welcome to join Heaven and Sea (HnS) on Goblin. We have 1 group that has cleared up 2 t8 and the rest of us are at the T5/Xprimal stage of the game. We probably have about 25 active members so no one really gets overlooked. Always helpful, always good to each other!

Titan Ex got a serious buff with 2.2. All the capable players now have no reason to ever go back. PF titan groups have been massive failures. Hell even Titan HM gets cleared in DF these days due to the roulette putting vets in it. They need to buff Rowena's Token to get people to actually run them. Maybe make the token worth 50-100 soldiery tomes that don't count against the cap.

I finally completed Titan EX last night. Once you actually learn the phases, it's tough but not so bad as long as you can remain focused.

The hardest part about Titan is finding 7 others who can do the fight properly.

I still do Titan ex. once in a while to test out this PF groups, if they make it past heart w/o dying to LS/WOTL I stay and help with the clear even if it takes 25% echo. it just mean more exp. is needed on bomb pattern/gaoler.
there is plenty of "freedom" with echo buff, if u manage to get to 2nd gaolers u can usually clear it with 2 dps/a tank down.

I have three clears now. Two with my FC on my Bard (first win plus an assist to help out another FC member). The third was with my Warrior last week. Now that I have both the Dual Hakken and the Hellish Claws, I don't know if I'll ever actively pursue this fight again. You can easily waste an hour or more in there with a group that can make it past Gaolers and still not get a clear. It's crazy how often people panic during the last phase.

If My FC needs help with assists, I'll probably do it. If not, I think I'm done with the extreme primals for now.

You there, your thought process, I like it! I'll look you guys up in game next time I log.

I've been trying to clear Titan EX for weeks now.

It's a really frustrating fight because, like others have said, you're really competing against the 7 people in your party as much as Titan himself.


The worst is when you have a group of 8 people and you get past heart, past the adds, and someone makes a single stupid mistake like eating one of the double WotL's... and then others in the party rage quit because they were looking for a one-shot. It's happened more than a few times.


I've tried to make a linkshell where I get people together to beat the content, but, what happens is... someone beats it via PF or FC and then when I ask if they want to attempt it again, they either say no thanks... or, I log on and they've abandoned the LS. I just shut it down beause it was becoming so frustrating.

As far as my FC? They are great, but, we're small. We have 30 people, 8 of which are on extreme primals and T5. I'm not going to bail on them, because they are cool people and I enjoy playing with them.


This isn't a whining post, it's just stating facts/experiences with this content.

I understand that's the way the game is and everything is working as intended. I'm not asking for a nerf, just sharing my own experiences and letting people who are at the same point I'm at know that they aren't alone. :)

Too be honest, getting past Titan EX isn't really a need of mine. There's still plenty of other things to do in the game... and in some ways it's nice to have content waiting there for me whenever I feel like putting up with the headache of trying to assemble a group of equally skilled players to tackle it.

I gave up, I can run to the other side of the arena and WoTL still hits me. I'll just wait for a nerf, or to the point my iLvl is so high it won't be a problem anymore.

Huh interesting reality check. I didn't realize people weren't done with that content yet. Even with the echo buff people are still having problems? Do you guys have free companies? I don't PF/DF anything, we just pick a night and our FC runs whatever is needed.

The item level of characters will inevitably nerf titan ex, even if they don't continue to increase echo which they probably will.

I personally love that there are some challenging fights in this game, it promotes making a team and progressing together.

Staying secluded to your FC has made you completely out of touch with a vast amount of players in this game then. The echo doesnt do anything to help in this fight and in some cases actually makes it harder because the phase shifts at bad times with enhanced dps. I would love to see SEs numbers on how many have actually beaten Titan EX. Willing to bet it is less than 30% of the playerbase. Im still banging my head against it when I have time after capping Sol for the week. Some weeks I have time and others I dont.
