Weight of Land needs some new indicators.

When I got to Titan HM, I had some problems with the Weight Of Lands, cause the animation of their aoe indicators are so heavy, my FPS goes from 50 to 10, which makes my running speed on my screen slower (for some reason some more informed guy would know) and thus I can't run out of the plumes easily, resulting me to die if there happens to be 2 under me. Well, I put up with the Titan HM, and learned to run to a place where there wasn't any one a bit before plumes, and then start to run a moment before they're spawned.

But now. Thanks to Titan Extreme. I can't really do that. Since you have to be pretty much stacked on each other, I can't just randomly run somewhere, run back and let everyone else run to the plume I have.

So, what I'd want to see from SE is a in-game setting that would make EVERY aoe show as red outlinings and colour, as they are for normal aoes (Over Power, Fire II, Void Fire II, etc).

And I know others have it too, few of my FreeCompany mates has the same thing.

P.S my Laptop is slightly above minimum requirements set on the back of the game's cd case.

Have you tried, oh I dunno, memorizing his rotation?
Pretty simple.

Your FPS drops from 50 to 10 just for weight of the land? Christ what are you running a Celeron on a laptop?

i'm not sure if you can afford it or not, but maybe it is time to invest in a better GPU.

either that or turn all settings for maximum preformance.

I saw laptop and went no further. Just because you CAN cut your lawn with scissors, doesn't mean you SHOULD. You don't have to be able to run at max settings, but do yourself a favor and at least get a machine that can hold 30 fps. Anything at or below 24 is totally unplayable.

This means you can theoretically play the game, which you can. But in some fights this is by far not enough, Titan is such a fight.

So you are saying, the game needs to be changed because your laptop can't handle the animations? wow.. just wow.. no comment

FYI..... Ive been exclusively console with this game... PS3 was laggy as anything, making Titan EX very difficult as a DPS when I was doing it back in the day..... the PS4 is godly!!!! seriously.... weight of land animation, move at last second and STILL DONT GET HIT!! its like real time, no delays.... a thing of beauty.

My advice, invest in a PS4... they probably would be cheaper than a new computer, and you can still run keyboard and mouse mode if you chose to

I had that problem a few times with Titan EX. Switch everything to lowest settings, that should help. But IMO the only change Titan EX needs is maybe 0.5 to 1 second more time for WotL's charge time, but that's a personal gripe really.

This is the exact sort of problem I have with WotL (especially when they are stacked on each other) and sometimes the frameskip that occurs the moment the plume markers appear does get me killed.

Also, for everyone bitching about computers that can't handle it, I play on PS3 and I have this problem.

Problem is for Titan EX, anticipating a move and running early will still get you yelled at, because that can cause plumes to pop unstacked.

And besides that, the minimum requirements should accurately account for available content.

Maybe try forming in a line instead then so you would only need to move up/down or left/right to dodge your own plume (not misplaced stacks which often happens).
The only time it might cause an issue is the double WOTL with the slow puddles from the adds (if they aren't placed well) but if you are prepared it shouldn't cause a wipe.

If the animations weren't "heavy", it'd be really underwhelming "weight" of the land... heheh..

my laptop is a bit above the minimum and yet I run most of stuff on low to avoid that problem.
But it's sad to play such a beautiful game at low config. But what can I do, don't have money to buy a decent laptop (I don't want desktops no more)
