Titan LAG complaint thread

[Hysterior]

People saying "blaming lag because you can't dodge are just bad"... just don't get it

Sometime, the lag is so extreme that there is NOTHING to avoid
Like everything freeze for 10 seconds, Titan does not move, team does not move, I can launch spell but I cannot see the result
Then those 10 sec fast-forward and everything happen in 1 second

You cannot predict and avoid 10 seconds of attacks hoping to be at the right place!

And for me, it's really only in Titan and sometimes WP
Had no issue in Coil turn 1...

Titan HM is the worst offender, but sometimes when I see my death in fast forward mode, can be funny, but when it happens often, URGH.

That's a lot to ask. We already pay a subscription, they should be creating the improvements and optimization. I know it sounds entitled, but this is one of those moments where I have to disagree. I've memorized Titans rotations, I've created warning macros, I run and anticipate attacks half a second in advance, but lag will still get you, especially if you get complacent. It doesn't seem fair at all that there are players out there that don't have to do any of that because the game is better optimized to their various systems.

Hey I'm just stating some solutions that I've heard work. Whether or not you want to go the extra mile is up to you. The reality is that better hardware runs the game better and that having a healthy connection gives a better gaming experience. Now, there are things you can do to affect it, and there are things SE can do to modify their game. I'm pretty sure SE has their hands full doing whatever they're doing (creating those optimizations and improvements) so...

Life isn't fair, it's quite random and indifferent. We all have to deal with what we have.

I would love to point out that I run Titan HM with no problems at all, I dodge every landslide and every plume with no problems at all...all i have is a 3Mb Internet connection and i play on PS3...if you have any latency issues its your H/W or ISP problem...I might like to point out that playing on a server in your region is the best solution as well

One thing nobody mentioned that isn't ours or SE fault is how your connection to the server is routed. If your connection is running threw a congested backbone your going to have issues doesn't matter how good your system or internet connection is. This is one of the reasons resetting your modem or restarting the game can improve lag. How often to you run maintenance on your system or router ? Also don't forget system updates, a lot of software automatically downloads updates unless you set it not too. All those other programs you are running may not be using much internet bandwidth, but they sure do use the processor and ram. Lag can be from your system trying to catch up to all the information, in area's you know you will have lag turn off the light show. If you ever played FFXI when WoTG came out the massive battles in the past where laggy, unless you displayed less information. Turning off NPC actions, other parties actions, etc then it worked just fine.

Why do people only lag on Titan?

Someone find me a Japanese forum thread with them complaining about lag on Titan... I don't read Japanese, but I sincerely doubt you'll fine one.

I'm guilty as well, I thought it was lag too. It's just really darn overtuned perhaps, but it's doable. Do you really think that people that sell Titan runs bother to check the people helping's lag situation?

The real challenge is finding 7 people that will hang on maybe a hour or two to learn the fight. That aside, some people do lag, maybe the opener is one of those that do. But I see the lag defense all the time, I've even used it myself.

Thank you for taking the time to share your views on the matter but I would like to point out that a) Line speed doesn't affect latency much when it comes to gaming internationally and b) All EU/NA servers are hosted in Canada so I, a South African player(and EU players), basically can't even dream of getting a massive boost in my latency by doing what you pointed out. In fact I have a worse latency going to the JP servers, so it is what it is. I do hope they try to improve it as at the moment, with my connection running the best it possibly can, If an AoE falls on me and I'm not already busy moving as it spawns, I'm dead. If I'm casting a heal and it falls on me and I start running immediately(canceling my action), I'm dead.

Please understand that because you are not experiencing this issue doesn't mean it does not exist for others.

I'm not saying lag doesn't exist. I've seen a few incidents of it first hand. People (not me) well away from landslide getting knocked off.

However, it seems a safe bandwagon to jump on, because so many are riding.

It will be interesting to see what happens when they make the positional polling update faster next patch and see what many people say.

Yes I agree with this, I try to never blame my deaths on lag in a dungeon as it's immediately met with hostility and it's understandable because it is the number one go to excuse if you mess up. It's just weird having it as an actual concern now. I'm just farming WP and leveling other jobs at the moment. Going to wait and see what improvements 2.1 brings. If it's still a massive issue for me, I won't quit but I'll just ignore endgame content completely and move to a more social type of gameplay.

This happens to me, really only in Titan. I usually restart my computer to prevent it for a bit but it always comes back. Really no idea why.
