Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

If others can do it and with little to no issues then theres no reason you can't without practice. Endgame content is not supposed to be easy. If you're not good accept it and get better

Its not about easy vs hard. It's about being able to rely on what you see on the screen as accurate. At this point, that is not possible

Remember that time you were absolutely wrong?
And at 32, what engame AOE are you referring to?
That's right, run along, the grown ups are talking

Actually you have to be out at least one full second before the casting bar finishes. You'd know that if you weren't completely blinded by your own smugness

Look around, half the posters here have already done that. That being said; I'm not here to impress you.

Why? Because I can't dodge the @#$%ing AoE. After hours of practicing in the duty finder and then going in with my free company I still failed over and over again.

Call me slow, I don't care. I don't think I'm slow. 80% of the time I made it. The other 20% of the time, I would think I made it, but then BAM WEIGHT TO THE FACE.

I really don't understand your predicament, the only 2 (partial) AoE's you can avoid are the frontal cone AoE and the frontal Line AoE, all the rest are unavoidable. If oyu are having problems avoiding the partial AoE's, then I am sure the problem is at your end, not server side. I was able to avoid those 2 attacks 100% of the time unless I was goofing off.

it is funny that even though people said that titan only takes skills yet i dont see people who killed titan queue for him again.

I run other people through it a lot. I don't enjoy it though. Sorry SE, TItan is just not fun.

I'd be interested to see how many of those complaining are playing on servers halfway across the world. I'm only level 37 but I have no problem dodging quick timers at all. For one thing I'm a maraduer who never stops moving, but still. I can't see it being that difficult as long as your in the right region and don't have horrible Internet.

You shouldn't have to be clairvoyant to play a game, also most runs that fail first time disband so learning the fight can be hard especially with pug groups.

Overall though we shouldn't be sat here saying "this is ok, learn the fight" when the game is obviously broken for some people, this needs to be fixed.

What happens when/if they add fights that have no pattern ?

What region is the correct region for EU players ?, because all EU servers are in Canada.

Actually they said some aspects of inaccurate aoe will be addressed and some should have been addressed as soon as beta was over, I hope this isn't final.

Also there seems to be accepted bug reports about this, as mine got into the "duplicate bug" section: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...87#post1229987

Whether AOEs CAN be dodged or not is irrelevant at this point. The fact that what you see on screen does not accurately represent whats going on is the problem.

Imagine your boss told you to come to work at 8am. You show up promptly at 7:50am, only to be reprimanded for being 5 minutes late.
You'd complain, not because you are incapable of getting to work 15 minutes early, but because if he wanted you there at 7:45, he should have said 7:45.

That's all we're saying. If the AOE circle and casting bar REALLY end a second before the screen says they do, then SE has failed. Case closed

(By the way... that was the best FFXIV delay analogy you'll ever see)
