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

Well this issue has rendered Titan unbeatable for me, and its got to the point where i no longer want to try. its been three weeks on and off now. I shouldnt have to preempt the moves, or the bomb explosions, or anything else. If i see a plume on the floor i should know im safe if im outside the marker before the cast finishes etc. When the Crystal tower comes out, its going to be like a messy fate with mobs not appearing, people getting smacked when they are well outside aoe markers etc. I dont even want to think about the Coil of Bahamut. Unless SE fix this latency/lag issue Titan really will be "endgame", or more likely game over for a lot of people who simply wont renew their subs.

This thread needs a gold thread attatched to it too ^^

Im pretty sure there must have been some ninja improvements in the aoe delay issue. 1 month ago i used to get hit by plumes if i "barely" went out of it, but now in exactly same situation i dont !

Truth.

I have only played the Titan fight four times but this happened to three of us every single time. We have all clearly been outside the AoE range and still get hit. It has nothing to do with reaction times and my internet connection has managed other games just fine. I have never had this problem in any other mmo, so this is definitely a problem specific to this game. Fanboys claiming that nothing is wrong doesn't make the problem go away.

I don't even understand their logic, fixing this situation will make the game they so fanatically defend a lot more successful in the long run; but I guess they also thought 1.0 was fine and 2.0 was just SE giving in to "entitled" gamers.

I was in the latter camp for a bit, and I too thought it was an issue on SE's end, but it was actually a ping issue on my end (high ping). Once I fixed this I can literally count on one hand the number of times I've been hit with his moves. Yes we can discuss the .3s update to character location, but clearly it's not an issue when 8 people have no trouble dodging his moves. People are just frustrated that they're slow and blaming SE for it. Stop sucking or get a better connection.

How about no.

What i dont understand is this is a 98 page thread so SE must be aware of it, yet theres no response. For those who say theres no lag for them, thats great for you, but not for the many others who do experience this issue. Just because it doesnt happen to you doesnt mean it doesnt exist. Take the throttling issue for example, when people reported it was happening, others were saying its you, your connection sucks etc, yet in the end SE acknowleged throttling by ISP's was a problem and actually sorted it. Acknowledge and fix, not deny the problem is out there.

They can fix the lag, won't change the fact that you've only got one challenging endgame dungeon to gear up from on a weekly lock.
