Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

[AdvancedWind]

As someone who wiped over two days before getting a group that could down it (you *need* to see how cool the fight actually is when your group isn't melting 10 seconds after Earthen Fury. It's actually very nice), I respectfully disagree.

You just have to learn the fight, and you can do so simply by running a few times on duty finder before joining a server group. You can 100% control everything on that fight except for bomb patterns. In fact, Titan EX is ultimately made nearly trivial by simply having proper party stacking. That's the entire gimmick of the fight, the party needs to stick together to make the AoEs go where you want it to go.

You can control where Weight of the Land will hit in such a way that avoiding it is as easy as any other AoE in the game. You can control where the adds will go and where you want to kill them. You can control where Titan targets landslide and make even the 5way landslide + bombs from the last phase a simple move out, move in two step evasion that works exactly the same way as a single landslide evasion. You can't really say this is harder than Twintania.

(If you are having trouble on that part: Have everyone stand on one of the first bombs that spawns. Titan will target landslide on that bomb, which means the "safe" bomb will be landslide free. Now you just dodge landslide as normal running to the safe bomb, and return to where you were after the previous bomb exploded. Move out, move in. Done, not hard at all, and that's the single part most non winning groups end up dying.).

Unless you are actually lagging, you can get the basic idea of the fight and become able to avoid almost everything he throws at you in just a few runs. The main problem of the fight is getting a full group that can dodge it. Adequate personal performance on both Titan fights can easily be acquired with a few pure duty finder runs. I am just your average player here, and I managed to do learn it that way. Anyone can do it.

Also, I believe if your connection is bad, you should NOT be able to clear high level content on any network dependent game unless you're so overleveled for it you can eat everything. If you can consistently clear "top' content in any online game while having noticeable lag, that content NEEDS to be tuned up. Yes, this means some people might never be able to do this due to crappy net, but if you have constant connection issues that negatively impact your gameplay, maybe you shouldn't be playing an online game at all.

Please tell me why I have NO connection issues, lag, or problems with any other MMO but in FFXIV I get random lag spikes in instances?

Seems like not my problem.

Or maybe I could play the game MY way, instead or YOUR way? :P
