Titan Extreme Ping check rather than EXP players check

[Rochetm]

I beat Titan/Ifrit extreme 2 days ago I didn't notice any lag on plumes/eruptions. Seemed more responsive even on regular hm titan now. Whatever they did on the servers worked.

That is because no one is doing those fights yet... Go do Garuda EM after 9PM est... one giant lag fest.

They didn't do a very good job with their lag fix since I actually have more now then before.

I have a question about what we are calling lag. Because like many others have posted with regular lag you can dodge ahead of time and know the fight and survive. But what about the instance server freezing up everyone on the playing field and you see stuff seconds after it happened? Not delayed like normal lag and it goes off, I'm talking total lockup then all a sudden your 5 seconds in the future.

I see it alot in AK on the Demon Wall and repel. It's so bad in there I just stand once repel goes off and wait for the knockback. Strangely alot of this stuff begins to happen right before they need to do instance server maintenance for the week.

Something else is at work here besides good ole lag and I would like to know what that is. Lag I hear ya, dodge better and watch for what the fight is asking of you. But freezes and lockups I do not get. Is it related to instance server memory corruption like SE pointed out a long time ago?

In HM with the change in latency I went from eating 90% of the plumes to never eating a plume (well, ok, just once since the patch hit). I think that is a substantial difference unless I just had FF enlightenment! IMO the way the Titan fight works it is going to be to some degree a test of your connection.

Not every primal fight got the fix. I doubt they did anything to EM fights yet because the .1 is being trial tested on Titan HM and PVP exclusively. If all goes well and servers can take it they may move it out to other areas of the content. No telling when or if.

Think the point is......With Titan Hard it was:

You sir need to go back and re-read my post, nowhere did I say it was "impossible." I've completed many HM's with lag so i'm not saying it's impossible. I'm saying that lag just makes the fight more difficult then it ordinary should be.

Other people doing the fight that are not in my instance aren't going to give me lag.

Being in Australia, using Battleping with 170mms ping, I still find myself dying to Titan Ex plumes constantly, even when I am so obviously out of the areas on my screen. It's utterly ridiculous that I can kill Twintania with my group, but can't get past Titan Ex with its unforgiving mechanics.

i hope PS3 30 FPS is not the reason

PS3 here...and I think Titan EX is pretty easy

[Ricky]

Titan EM is a ridiculous fight, basically have to memorize it to have any success. And this is coming from someone with every EM weapon

It's.. a little much. Challenging content is good though

In 1.0 it was pure lag.
In 2.0 it is rubber banding.

IMO rubber banding is more difficult to "prepare in advance" than lag, cos for the latter you can always run in advance when you know an ability is gonna come up next. For rubber banding, you never know how long you will freeze up and zoom into the future. Most people experience in 2.0 is likely rubber banding.
