    I've thought long and hard about this and I just cannot figure out what exactly it is about Titan that throws so many people off. Some people say it's the irrecoverability of getting hit; Demon Wall does the same and no one complains about it. Some say it's the short times given to get out of WotL; FFXIV is hardly the first game to require you to know something bad is coming ahead of time. If you die, then you know it's coming and take steps to avoid it the second time around. Some say it's lag; I've seen freak cases and videos where there does seem to be a desync in the fight, but I haven't seen or heard of many of them since they reduced the update times. If you consistently lag badly and can still make it through other content, I think that means previous content was too easy. Plus, there are people with 250~300 ping who can still make it.

    I just don't get it.

    In any case, I believe making relics mandatory by tuning content around them was a flaw. Maybe it's old school thinking now, but relics should've been rewarding to get with multiple options to choose from beneath them, rather than the other way around where relic is needed to then get a multitude of weapon choices.

    In which world did people NOT complain about this? I read complains about this until 2.05 was released and the content was no longer mandatory to get myth and you could do WP instand.

    Learn, explore, and think for yourself. Make your choices, take actions, and let yourself be free.

    actually I always thought those were pretty straightforward, and just reaction time like other mechanics in the game. I think the bombs is what makes Titan hard, memorizing the patterns of different bombs, and safe spots, etcc..

    i think you miss the joke

    But yea, in titan EX, sometimes after heart phase, if i loose a sec of focus, i somehow will think tic-tac-toe is actually star bombs
