This is why you're dying on Titan.

[Yukiko]

I do not know the whole networ code, but why they programmed the position-square-grid in a 3sec pattern?
With other words: every 3sec you update your position.

Isnt it better to base the position-square-grid on yalme?
With other words: if you pass a 3y pattern the position will be updated.

To show other solutions to this: Why not making it skill or event based?
With other Words: Instead of a square-grid to update your position it uses the global cooldown and updates before/after each skill of players AND enemies.

Honestly, I hear about people with these problems in Titan yet I can dodge plumes every time. I don't move until the AOE appears. What is so special about my connection? I have typical "High Speed" internet. I live in LA, playing on NA servers. Never have these problems. Ever.

I don't think you guys are lying, I just don't understand why everyone experiences this but me. Did I win the FFXIV lottery or something?

Same here.. if i escape AoEs by a glimpse itll work, if not its cause i was too slow, yes there is a small delay(you can start moving about .5 second before the end of your casts) but that is easy to work with and is almost useful.

[LolitaLollipop]

Dev's from Japan should be forced to use duty finder alone on a NA/EU server.... and run Titan HM till they are willing to admit camera angles aren't going to save shit.

yes!! we should picket outside their office building D:< !!

[Starkbeaumont]

I can't cast esuna while running. Eu player on NA/EU server. if it's a problem with the server itself shouldn't everyone suffer this problem?

[SakuraInoue]

I still have issues like this...
Ping 80-90ms to servers...

Let's blame light speed for not being faster, mkay?

Oh wait...

[Artemiz]

Well I'm playing from the UK with high speed fibre optic internet and even story mode Titan was a nightmare for me, Landslide took me out first time, every time. I watched videos to see if I was doing something wrong (I wasn't) and completely re-organised my HUD and keybind layout and ended up coming to the conlusion that it was unfair of me to even try on WHM as it was condeming the party to failure. I leveled BLM in the end and as luck would have it, finally got no lag and dodging Landslide was easy

The problem is clearly lag, I played CoD for years and it suffers from exactly the same problem, Activision have got into a whole new mess with their lag compensation measures trying to combat it and have so far just made it worse

I'm not claiming to be great at this game but I've played MMO's for years and can more than hold my own on hair trigger games like CoD so it really did surprise me when I had to jump backwards through hoops just to complete a mid level story mode boss

So here's the thing:

Most, not all, but most people who die on Titan runs die simply due to their own inexperience/lack of skill on the battle. Nothing more nothing less. How I know this is true? Because once they do enough attempts/learn the battle timing...all the sudden they don't die all the time anymore and tend to stay alive and win most if not all attempts.

For Lag to be to sole cause of 'Titan Deaths'....then these players would never be able to be consistantly successful in this battle. So while it is true, that Lag does make some of the content far more challenging for some players then others (and the 'fairness' of this could be debated), player skill/knowledge is actually a much larger part of the problem.

So server latency isn't the main issue, player skill is.

[Malamasala]

Not latency and not skill. It is about learning the rotation so you can do what the game should tell you, before it tells you.

All this would be solved by the red circles appear earlier, which means the attacks triggering slower. It still is the same amount of "skill" involved, you just have more time to do it. But SE seem terrified some elitists will yell easy-mode and quit.

Like we even need any players who think no latency = skill.

[Evtrai]

While this issue isn't game breaking for me as ive managed to clear content so far with no issues, I noticed a few things:

-PS3 version seems the worst with this issue, my friend plays on PS3 and even though I'm kind of expert at titan *eye twitch* I died a lot after dodging attacks with significant time in advance, I did tests in pingtest.net with Grade A results.

-My brother and I play on the same room, I can see both his screen and mine at the same time, and once we were playing on AK recently I noticed the huuuuge time it takes for his actions and mine to show up on both screens, for example, I moved from point A to point B and on his screen it would happen about 2 seconds later, while for some reason his movements appeared reflected on my screen nearly on real time, mind you same exact connection, same CPU, Motherboard same everything with the exception of video card, he has a GTX Titan and I have a R9 280x, so it really doesn't make sense.

[Allyra]

LMFAO with your signature!! if i had a quarter for every time titan has pushed me to the side with landslide i would be able to afford new servers for square enix.

I love your sig so much.

Thanks! People still like to deny it!
