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

[Asmodeus]

I've made close to 10 mill from selling titan kills, I also help with the server's titan kill shell so I've run it enough times to be pretty qualified on this.

Learning aside, every plume I've eaten has been my own fault due to being greedy with a cast, not thinking ahead far enough or simply not moving quickly enough and wasting valuable time not moving in a straight line etc. I only found myself eating lines when I got muddled on bombs and didn't position myself right. For reference I'm in the UK and with BT (An isp which is known for having p2p throttling issues with FFXIV) and I don't use any VPN or the like.

As said before, the gif in your sig is most likely packetloss from the client to the server, most likely a shared connection, queue for regular titan whilst uploading to youtube and you'll get exactly the same thing. Whilst yes, this encounter punishes a subpar connection harshly, you can't really hold SE responsible for the wonder that is the internet. WoW had exactly the same issues with the Hagan safety dance, the difference there was that the movement was simplistic and far easier to remember.

With that line there in red you kind of lose all credibility when speaking about this issue, it's a blatant conflict of interest. I mean if they did fix this you would lose a major source of income.


Fact is building in a 300ms delay on positioning on top of the various "lag" people get in mmos is ludicrous especially in a game where they

... punish slow movement .....

and you need to actively dodge attacks.

Quite the jaded view there, I'm almost hurt

I sold titans so I could afford the melds I needed to be ready for Twintania at almost 200k a pop. I wasn't in it to stockpile huge hoards of gil and hence I stopped once I had what I needed, you did see the part where I added that I help Ragnarok's attack on titan linkshell right? Whilst I openly admit I don't mention that I'm a former seller for fear of the inevitable drama, I put every bit as much effort into the free runs as I did the 700k specials.

and you need to actively dodge attacks.

That are 100% scripted and entirely predictable.

Memorising the script is a big part of the challenge.

If you had been following the various threads you would know we have addressed what you claim, memorizing a pattern that doesn't ever change does not equal skill. Skill isn't about doing the achy breaky dance rotation starting at a certain point. Skill is about knowing how to deal with attacks regardless of when they come at you.

What we have here is a cheesy sad attempt at making things "hardcore".

Perhaps you mean well but you are hurting this cause and that is about it.

Two posts up sir

I was referring to contacting the ISPs which even you said:

Putting the P2P throttling saga in SE's lap is fair enough and yes,

I'm guessing a big chunk of that list is from pandatown as I don't know a bunch of them =( Fair point though!
