Titan is hard because your camera isn't zoomed out, not because of server-side delays

It is the ISP, not my hardware.

I've seen people dying out of the Weight of the Land, flying in wrong directions after the Land Slide, getting bombed while at my side...

Honestly, I don't judge anyone who dies there. The netcoding's slugginess really shows at that place.

Ya that's all I ask for when it comes to players. Rather than pointing fingers and just claiming "you suck!" Better to actually add your voice to our issue and help us push where we need to push to get this resolved. Getting it fixed will also help those that don't get the lag because it means less titan wipes. :3

I don't lag on Titan, if my FC did 10 Titans in a row we most likly wouldn't lose any.

While it is possible to have ISP issues, or people who live in Europe and are not near the FFXIV servers. Lag often isn't the cause to why people don't win this fight. More often its a lack of understanding on the fight. Memorize Titan's pattern so you can be better prepared for what is coming up and know rock patterns. If I join a random DF group I see a lot of people who have no clue what they are doing, they lack familiarity with the fight. They just have no reflexes to move out of stuff.

People who play fast paced fps and action games are much better at reacting to stuff like Titan then people who only play slow paced games. A lot of the problems on Titan boil down to a skill issue rather then a lag one. That is why I get tired of people blaming lag that most of the time is a excuse.

The way players connect to each game maybe different. Some isp might not handle some games well, but others better.

XIV's data is handled as P2P traffic, most other MMORPG's data is not, including XI.

I live in new Zealand playing on US servers , if I can do titan with the lag I have, then anyone can .

Lag is not the problem , its not knowing the patterns and to not be moving before they hit.

DPS have no excuse at all for dying , Ive seen them standing around waiting for cast to finish while getting hit by plumes , instead of stop casting and moving .

Problem is latency issues happen with the location of players especially Australian players. There are programs (battleping) to lower and control your ping during instances. You can also predict when plumes are coming next and pre-move it works 100% of the time when perfected. If you can't dodge plumes get your HP up and eat one.

Zoomed out camera I don't think so....
Also when I went with my friends on their first relic they wiped multiple times. Then I told them about the "legacy" walking setting and they dodged no problem.
