I'm done with Titan.

How about nerfing FATE's....That way perhaps you will actually have to be able to PLAY your job for endgame.

Smashing your face against Titan does not prepare you in any way for coil. Smashing your face against coil prepares you for coil. The encounters are going to be completely different. That's like saying if you practice ifrit you will be good at Garuda... That's not how it works... If anything I sped my progression up and came out with a sweet weapon

I wish I had as many choices as some people for Titan HM groups.

Sadly I missed the transfer so I'm stuck on a JP server, and needless to say for someone who doesn't speak or understand JP in any way, DF is pretty much the only option.

I've tried group shouts, putting together groups, yada yada the whole nine yards. The community for an ENG speaking player for hard runs just isn't there. Everyone I know atm whose ENG and has beaten Titan has gotten lucky with the 3%-5% win rate from DF.

No matter your server, if the content is aimed to be done within a community, your only option shouldn't end up being the DF.

More Options should be put on the table, Like a Community Finder next to the Duty Finder.

Hate on PS3's, at least form me, isn't really stereotyping... It's an opinion based on my observations. E.g. our first Garuda Attempt I had a conversation that went something like this,

-> "How come you keep standing in the eye of the storm"
<- "I'm lagging really bad and can't move out fast enough"
-> "Why don't you just stand with us in the first place and move when we move"
<- "It's hard to see where I am going"
-> "Why?"
<- "I'm on PS3"
-> "So, it's playable on Ps3"
<- "Well my TV is 13 inches and it's not HD"
.........

99% of people on a PC have at least 1280X1024, most have 1920X1080, and people like me have 2560X1440. Hardcore gamers on PC's have expensive rigs (mines worth about $3000 total) and we spend weeks or months reading/learning what IT Skills we need to maximize the performance of our rigs.

So to resummarize, my hate isn't against the PS3 player base in general, it's against people with the lack of technical knowledge to allow themselves to play the game the best they can. E.g. Using a 13" TV, or expecting to be able to do titan on an HP Pavilion with stock GPU and 300Watt PSU. I mean it's 2014, anyone playing games and calling themselves a Gamer should know how to hook up an HD TV, swap in a new keyboard, install a new GPU, upgrade a PSU, run a wired network, etc etc etc.

And TBH If the PS4 were to come out and everyone got one, and everyone used an HDTV then the overall experience of the player base would be better because PS4's unlike PC's are optimized OOTB and they are more capable of handling the game than some people's PC's.

So for me it's more along the lines of frustration because I spent months tweaking/upgrading my PC and mazimizing it's performance, Weeks Of benchmarking and overclocking so that I could have the best playing experience possible when this game came out. Then I get in there and am forced to run a lot of content with a lot of people (which I'm fine with content wise) and not being able to down it because 50% of the people I run content with LAG or Fail on movement and blame their PS3, Old PC, LAG, Wifi, Their ISP etc etc etc.

I mean I challenge anyone to make be believe legitally that the problem is SE's Servers In Montreal. On every occassion I've found where someone blames that on their failure to get out of red circles I've been able to point my finger at something on their end. Their ISP is Dialup, their PC is up to spec but their PSU is being chocked (300 watts), they only have 256 meg of ram, Their PS3 is on a WIFI adapter over a 3G network, they share 512kbps with 10 people in one house, etc etc etc.

My Rig,
I5 2500K @ 4.5 under water
Video Dual HD6870's under water
950 watt PSU
16 GB of ram @ 2000Mhz
2 256GB SSD's in Raid0

And I have the 100/10 internet package from Comcast the best they offer in my area.
And I still experience the massive delay that is built into SE's server. Its there its real, and I can only assume it is worse on cheap hardware.

PS4 will not solve this issue, in fact I highly doubt it will run any better than a 4 year old pc from Dell-"Alienware"

My PC can run this game just fine at stock settings, It may drop a few fps in a busy town but I could remove a video card and set my CPU back to 3.2 and run it at 60fps constant in every dungeon. This game is not graphic/ cpu intensive and appears to be coded very well. The only issue is the server delay.

You are using AMD cards, and the're 6800's at that. This game has been proven many times over to prefer Nvidia cards atm. AMD guys are pretty much screwed atm. Get a 660GTX or better (preferably a 760) and it will run a TON better.

I had the exact same card but I had two of them and they were in CrossFire and the game ran like shit. Get an Nvidia card like a 760 and you won't have any issues.

Now I'm not saying the AOE thing is a non issue for me, but its significantly better than others I see. I can run out of AOE at the last second and make it. The only time I get hit is if he's casting it as I'm running out of the red. Which is fine.

People rely on the red areas to much, they are not exact. They are more there to get you to react to something, not to exactly represent the window of the AOE attack. What that means is if you watch the casting bar on some fights with Red Areas on the ground the casting bar ends before the red area disappears. If your in the red when the casting bar ends your getting hit.

However some mobs don't cast, they just shoot something off but there is still red there. For such encounters you have to watch the boss animations and learn what the trigger is for the landing of the attack and you need to be out before that animation drops. Some of these fights require people to watch the boss and just use the red circle/aoe areas as a kind of visual que.

--My Rig--
I5 2500K @ 4.9 OC under water (corsair h55 cooler)
GPU: Nvidia 760 GTX (just 1 on stock fan) runs better than two 6870's
750 watt PSU
16 GB of ram @ 1600Mhz
OS HDD: 2 * 64 Gig SSD Raid 0
Game HDD: 180GB SSD
Monitor: 2560X1440

Same internet, except I have Powerboost at 50mbps (didn't upgrade as high as you)

[PikachuLink]

It's not the rigs... You sound very unintelligible about whats going on in game... There are clear and obvious server side lag issues skipping etc in duty finders and in high populated areas that are not a fps issue... Anyways titan is a pointless fight with no rewards that's just a gate from real endgame with real rewards...

[Bizniztyme]

Wait, i thought the game was soooooooo easy anyone can beat it!!!!!!

So because the game is designed like shit I have to go out and drop 200-300 on a video card when I already have run that plays other games maxed out?

...Wh..what?

I have no idea what she's talking about lol, also the game is designed for AMD. At first people blamed PS3 players for the overall issues with the game, then people blame the fact someone is using an AMD card...

What next?
