Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

[Gwynn]

It's a pretty epic fight. I agree the scripted aspects of it made it in some ways easier then HM but requires memorization and studying which who knows if that really should be a part of an MMO and not everyone is willing to do that. A lot of players are gear blasting the fight as well at this point. It most likely is detrimental to the community in terms of not being accessible or cleared by everyone. It prob leads to a lot of frustration and anger. Some people enjoy the intensity most do not enjoy wiping for days especially if it's due to other people's abilities. A good majority of players patience quickly runs out if wipes are happening. I'd say it's most likely passed what the average player will clear in this gear level but there will be carrying and selling in the future garuda > titan > ifrit kills the same as titan HM so people will get it.

The comments on Party Finder for almost every group are very toxic and not community building at all. I would say before the patch the community felt like a Final Fantasy MMO, after the patch the community feels incredibly self absorbed most likely the most self absorbed I've seen a player base in any MMO. You have to ask yourself is all this really worth it for the short thrill of a fairly fast paced action fight? (That's still soft enough to be cleared the first day)

The people that can clear mostly have better weapons already have it on farm already and are already bored and ready for the next thing besides possibly farming accessories now it's just a source of frustration making everyone selfish and angry.

Walking kind of a strange line. The fights are all cleared on day 1 so they arn't hard enough to cater to the Hard Core playerbase. But it seems like they will be to hard for a majority of players, titan at least. How can something be to hard and to easy? I'm inclined to agree it's the unforgiving insta kill threat, and the fact that gear adds so much health. The scaling of equipment is big so players that could easily kill Titan EX have been able to kill other things and have more then enough gear handle it, whereas players that can't kill Titan EX can't kill other things or get gear as reliably and are double penalized in some ways. The time gating of equipment with the job system plays a part as well I think as it is very unforgiving if you rely on myth and gear a few classes here and there.
