Well ZeroRains it seems the people here fail under different camps of playstyle and likes. And in all seriousness I am good with that, even if some of them are not ok with what others incline more towards.

What that is not cool, is that this 1 fight is locked majority out of a critical component aka ilvl 90 weapons and accessories. If this locked people out of vanity items, then it would not be such a big deal.

This is made even more apparent because stats of weapons are vastly different then Myth, which is locked out also, and because of all the lockout in near every other end game content. Making Titan a more MUST DO for loot thing then it would be if other content was not locked down. Again, people will disagree. That is good also.

For me, if there was many others things to do, it would not be so bad. But when everything a week is done and doner, I am staring into the abyss of Titan X and you know what they say about staring into abysses....

Couldn't agree more. I can see why some people say they love this fight, that it brings excitement and fast paced movement, while being a fight you cant be carried though. Believe me I get the appeal, I used to do AV and PW in 11. But titan doesn't rely on anything that truly takes time to master, or invite any type of involved strategy. I LIKE how titan is graphically designed, and the mindset with the pillar is a cool one. But its execution seems sloppy and not very thought out.

So yes, I can see the appeal of titan, and can agree to a degree that it shouldn't be a walk in the park (hence the Extreme Name.) But its constant one hit kills, along with connection issues and bad mechanics make it something that is dreaded, not excited for. There's a reason why everyone says Ifrit is easier, by large its actually more difficult than titan if titan had a platform you couldn't be knocked off of.

[I havent beaten this yet. I think the main issue here for me is that its almost impossible to defeat this with random players. So if you aren't in a moderate FC or insanely rich (a guy in my FC paid 1 mill to be carried... I'll never see such wealth), you essentially have no chance of beating it. However this being said, I'm a tank, and from my perspective this fight should be a cinch if you are dps and all you have to do is dodge. HENCE I shall level up a mage alt just to beat this stupid fight.

Critical? No.

You can do everything in the game without 2.1 gear. You can even do the hardest fight in the game without 2.1 gear because it was out long before 2.1. Fancy that.

As for ZeroRains...

You know after doing AV and PW? lol Those two were so much more 'cheap' and required so much less than Titan does.

Yet somehow those two, one designed not to be killed, are better designed than Titan. Yes, this makes complete sense.

@Gadenp

Please don't forget you can obtain a ilvl90 weapon quite easily just by capping your mythologies for 2 weeks and ofc having your relic unlocked. In some cases (bard for example) you can't use the elfin bow right of the box anyways not until you can make up for the lack of accuracy on that weapon. (That applies if you want to do T5 with that weapon) So casual people are not locked out of anything. For the most part the primal weapons can be seen as vanity weapons.

Where in your short fused mind Did I say they were better? I compared 2 notorious fights for being cheap to titan, pretty much on point. Seriously, go sit and corner, count to ten, calm down and come back when you have something intelligent to say, not idiocy.

Okay, i'm another bad guy... I have yet to beat this -- we just started out on him with my FC, and we are only progressing on him. But i love it, and it is one of the best encounter of the game IMO. I think what people don't like is that you can't carry people in there -- even if you play perfectly, anyone failing will lead to your death. However, if I may : What do you consider to be a challenging encounter that is well done ?

Also, i don't get how people are saying that the timing are too tight in it. To be honest, both timing of wieght of the land and landslide seems perfectly fine -- without knowing exactly when they are coming, i have never had any trouble dodging them (granted, i use a vpn).

Now, if you want to rage against the fact that the game basically require you to use a vpn and that is not normal, i get it. However, the problem is here with the lag of the game, not this particular encounter. And also, would love to know what you consider as good encounter. Turn 2 ? Where you are cheating your way through enrage timer because "rot is bad design and too punishing etc" ?

Good encounters? Titan EM, T4 & T5. My favourites so far .

Bad encounters? WP first boss...I can never ever dodge his AoE, the fat piece of s*** is so broken, must eat red gigantic triangle. </sarcasm, but seriously can't dodge.

I also dislike Garuda EM & Ifrit EM, so damn boring, almost falls asleep when I needed to farm them , Titan on the other hand is just awesome never gets boring. Funny enough BLM only needs Vortex the other two are meh, but must have all must collect all shines .

Titan even though he is scripted, he still gets the heart bumping, increases epeen by a mile when you find dat little piece of safe land in between bombs and landslides. There is also the two adds, makes BLM feels so good when he/she single handedly brings them to their knees faster than any other job.
