Titan is hard because your camera isn't zoomed out, not because of server-side delays

I've never been killed by lag on Titan. Every death that I've had was 100% my own fault. I either didn't move fast enough, or made the wrong choice when I was moving out of an ability or casting a spell.

I know that people constantly say that lag is killing them, but a friend of mine put it best - "That's 'Post-Bad Decision Lag. It's an epidemic in this game!'"

Tonight I died on Titan because bombs came out and so did landslide and I had the choice of running into the bombs about to explode or running through the Landslide to the safe side. But that death was my fault. I made the wrong decision. It wasn't lag or anything else.

The fact that this is your experience doesn't make it true for everyone else.

By now, I've run Titan countless times for myself and friends; I know the rotations, dodge stuff all the time except for my occasional screw up, and am at the point where I find the fight fun and comfortable.

I've seen all sorts of weird stuff going on in Titan, though.

When he's supposed to jump, he just "teleports" to the middle of the screen and stays there... up until you see the ground shake. Then you know, the game didn't show you his jumping. All of my party mates have seen this too, at the same time.

I've seen all sorts of crazy stuff happening with bombs. Circle bombs not dropping one by one, but just popping up around Titan all at once. Bombs still physically there, when they have already exploded, etc. Some times, other party members complain about seeing the same thing just as I saw it. Other times they don't.

Among other things. I don't know enough about networks to blame either SE or the ISPs. Sometimes for sure, player's computers definitely play a role in how quickly you can see an AoE before you move out of it. But when some of these issues happen to everyone in the party at the same time, I tend to think that those are server side.

Still, even when it would be ISPs fault or whatever, it is kind of silly then designing an MMO where dodging is most of its bread and butter. IDK how long before these people that would probably be good gamers, start quitting because they can't handle it anymore.

I believe people are having genuine problems with latency issues. Even though it becomes an easy excuse for people that don't know the fight as well, it doesn't mean that it is a real thing for many others

Yeah, I often see instant landslides as well, or Titan (visually) skipping landslide completely only to knock somebody off with no animation. It is far more than players being bad or a camera problem.
