Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

[Shaone]

Now that's bull right there.

99% dodge rate sounds perfectly achievable. I've eaten a few landslides and bombs with poor split second decisions or changing my mind about which direction to run (particularly when bombs are up), but I don't think I've been hit by a plume yet in Titan Ex, and certainly not died to plumes. Being Monk helps (as we tend to do a line behind titan and being at the front means I'm unlikely to get trapped if plume placement is not correct), and I don't even use Fists of Wind. But not very many people are so lucky with their connectivity. I am playing from the UK and use a proxy service.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, there is a problem for many people with packet loss on this game, and although it isn't directly SE's fault, it would be nice if we could have some comment on what they are doing to try and reduce this. It would line up to things I have seen with people can dying in areas of the arena where there wasn't even a plume, after safely moving out (on their own screen). It is my belief that the movement packet the player sends to the server probably got lost, the server decides they are dead from plume, and then the movement packet gets retransmitted (standard in TCP based games), updating the position of their corpse / dying body.

And it goes without saying, this is just my opinion. Feel free to have a different one.

You are the joy of companies who sell runs

I can consider you are a good player who avoid plumes, landslide and bombs, but your partners not. Then, the solution is change party members.

The delay is not a big problem, was fixed since 2.1, except specific case.

Their inability to dodge simple plumes funds big FC's houses. The system works fine imo.

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.

It's extreme mode, not cuddly bear mode. :P

I don't understand people in this game

I think Titan EX is pretty easy to be honest >.>;

Scripted fight is scripted

Regardless tho I think its fun

Because those are clearly the only two options.

Pretty much if you analyze the MMORPG playerbase this generation - Too hard? People want it nerfed into the ground so they can faceroll it. Too easy? People want a challenge mode - "happy medium" no longer exists due to the current generation because the playerbase that will make a company the most money will almost always consider something "too hard, nerf it" if it can't be done within 10 minutes or with minimal work.

That's why F2P, B2P, Freemium and DLC does so well these days.

There are several ways in which a content can be hard or easy.
Nothing will ever satisfy everyone. But even within "hard" or "easy", you can make variations.

Couldn't of said it better myself

titan is the only fight where my chances of living are dependent on something that I don't control. I don't like titan very much. the first boss in WP seems to have tons of delay issues too but nothing he does is lethal.
