Lord of the Whorl - Primal Battle Preview (02/28/2014)

As for not being able to control how well the other seven players perform, welcome to MMORPGs. This game punishes you pretty badly for not having all 8 people performing flawlessly, but that's just the direction this game has taken.

Thanksfully this is only true for the top-of-the-elite content available. As new things come out, maybe some welcome nerfs will happen (I'd be happy with only a 0.5 longer cast on plumes tbh. Actual timer is just a joke as you can't react to it like the lanslides, the only option is to know what is coming at the exact second it's coming). I'd hate to be locked forever out of the content just because of such a bad designed fight.

When my connection is fine, I have no issues with plumes even if I don't react at the exact moment they start. Granted, I live closer to Montreal than most players, and I'm sure I'd have issues if I had 100+ ping like players on west coast USA or in Europe. The only mechanic I really dislike is the knock-off crap. Someone lag spikes and bam, out for the rest of the fight. I hope Leviathan doesn't use that design, but... well, we've all seen the screenshots.

You should try the free version of Pingzapper for Titan, though. It helps a lot of people.
