Stop Buying Titan Kills

[Shyluv]

I would agree with this, if the requirements on some servers weren't so ridiculous. More than half of them say you need to already have a relic on another job as proof that you know what you are doing (which I admit, isn't proof at all). And the stress of putting a party together is much too high for me. As a healer it is even worse. If a DD lags or is too lazy to move away from something that hurts him or her, the healer automatically gets the blame and is told, "You have one more chance. If you cause a wipe again, you are out."

Could join a FC, sure. If you aren't already in one with a small group of friends who you can't just leave.

There was one group I joined. Everyone was nice and understanding. We failed over and over until people ran out of time. No win, but I didn't care. I was happy to just even attempt it with a group of nice people.

On my server, it seems the only way to get Titan win is to either form a static with people who are like-minded, buy the win, or ditch friends to join a more capable FC.

Reading through all of Crica's posts, I have come to the conclusion that he is 12.

Hm, rather than pay for a titan kill, I'd consider paying for people who are competent enough to not stand in shit. I've managed to see a handful in some pre-made parties I've joined that can do it fine. There's always 1-3 that just can't for the life of them not get hit.

It's infuriating. This battle is only hard because you have to rely on 7 other people to not die.

Another idea is to have SE fix the server latency, and set up EU servers. Oh wait, that'll never happen.

I kinda feel like the OP got carried through the run. I've put countless groups together, and it always ends the same. 5 to 10% health, party gets excited, then wipe. Been two weeks trying to do this and yet, despite all the necessary requirements and such, haven't had a single group pass this. I can only spend so much time trying to do end game content before I'm turned off at the idea of logging in. Different servers equals different player base. You server might have more exp players, while on mine, it seems like everyone is new to the game.

Titan HM is basically the whole game. Dodge shit. If you can't do this, why even play?
I've seen alot of people not knowing much on how to play the damn game and have their relic already. It's sad.

Blame it on the community who refuses to;

1) Research the fight so they can learn how to dodge the avoidable damage.
2) Upgrade their gear so they can survive the unavoidable damage.
3) Upgrade their gear so they can pass the DPS or healing checks.

What they should do is make the Ifrit & Garuda HM fights just as hard. Weed out the tourists from the get go with Ifrit HM so they don't waste player's times in Garuda and Titan. The tourists might be able to afford Ifrit but not the other two.

You do realise when you weed out your tourists you also weed out you income to the game, and i don't mean the paying runners, i mean paying Square Enix...

Why would i make 500k to get a run through a "stupidly hard for the sake of it dungeon"(especially with Delay and my ping time), when i could go play something more fun and less tedious, its a virtual weapon in some mmo its not a brand new Ferrari...

I'll just wait for the nerfs then get it..

Doesn't matter how good each individual is at dodging Titan's attacks. You could execute everything flawlessly while maintaining #1 dps on 100 out of 100 attempts and still never finish Titan. Why? Because you rely on 7 others who know how to play too. You could take the best gamer in the entire world and he may fail Titan 500 times before success. Titan is not an individual skill check, hop down off your high chocobos nerds.

Why should it matter to you, honestly? If people want to spend their own gil to be carried through something, then let them. It's not you being cheated out of the experience, it's them. As long as it's not making a true impact on your gameplay then it really shouldn't matter.

Do I think that people should actually play the game? Yes....but I can't tell people what they should do with their own gil. That's their choice to waste it on something like that instead of learning and playing it for what it is.

Nothing wrong with purchasing Titan kills.

If you don't have an FC, the chances of you getting a Titan kill are next to 0% regardless of how good you are.
