Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

[Harmonium]

If I leave FF14, it is most likely going to be because of Titan EX

Titan EX is for player who want elite challenge, if you can't beat him, just give up, that will don't make you unable to enjoy other content no ?

Considering the devs commited the biggest no-no of designing "elite" content (attaching a story element instead of leaving Extreme modes as purely shiny/e-peen-based content), I think people have a right to be upset to a degree. I doubt we'd be having these issues if extreme modes was something you unlocked after clearing coil or something with no quest requirements. Just "clear coil => Garuda Extreme unlocked", with EM's having their own loot tables that are not recycled weapons with better stats and perhaps maybe a shiny after beating all three that is only marginally better than coil gear.

I managed to skip out of hard modes in WoW because they were not required to progress the story (Algalon in Ulduar and Sinestra in Bastion of Twilight being exceptions), so I often left hard modes to the e-peen-focused crowd because as far as I was concerned I could see the story by doing normal modes and that was enough for me. Currently I have a quest on my tracker telling me to clear Garuda Extreme, so yes I feel I'm being pushed towards content, and when the content is not fun to a number of people, there's bound to be problems.

There is no need to be upset.

Plus, I'm not berating anybody. I'm stating facts. The fight is scripted. You know that after those stomps, plumes will come. You even know you can start moving beforehand. Yet, you still eat those plumes and die, making the party wipe. This is called being bad, only exception being lag. Period.

My, how defensive we get when called out on one's bull.

Rather, how defensive some other people get when they're told the cruel truth, which is they're not ready to down Titan EX and need more practice.

Right... so much save face happening here. You are only proving our point with each post you make defending yourself if you haven't caught on yet. (Hint: Stop while you are ahead, if you are capable of doing so.)

People like you are so funny, complaining about me replying, when you do the same thing.

Keep entertaining me more, please.

This poor troll is so cute, but time to put this thread back on topic.

This thread probably wouldn't exist if SE actually let the client determine who was in the hit box, and not the server.
The delay between animation and having the damage register is laughable and shameful on SE's part at the same time.

Not only that. The fight expects people to always be perfect. It is highly stressful without any fun. We are not robots and making contents that requires 8 people to be perfect for long periods of time is just not good design.
