Titan HM needs a change for those who can't devote all their time to this game.

Except it really doesn't.

Except it does. The patterns can be different, I don't have to know them to be able to dodge plumes, bombs and landslides vs TItan EX. During the first days of Titan EX, when I joined some groups via PF, it was easy to notice who was carried trough Titan HM from those who weren't.

Well, for starter the fight is fun when everyone over know they doing and also are in at least ilvl76+.
Issue is;
Titan act as a springboard where it require too much effort duo whatever, u name it.
The relic is REQUIRED to the end game progression.
Sure, it's shouldn't given as free but the Trial shall be doable via duty finder and i'm sorry to inform you that is for the most impossible to get it done because let's be real u'll be there at ilvl65-70.
Also, Titan is just last small part into the chain quest of A relic reborn, so the feedback i can give is;

[nolalala]

Removal of lockout system if a player fall.
How?
Buff Goal.
If a player fall from the pit, Titan will raise such player into a Goal, Titan at this point will also summon an EGI.
Dinamic:
OFFTANK shall be tanking the EGI.
During this period, Titan will STOP it's skill rotation.
If the party fail to free such player from the goal within a time, the EGI will destroy the Goal causing a moderate AoE killing the aformentioned player.
Titan adjustament:
Titan shall get an overall potency reduction, 20%-30% at least.
Critial chance from Mountain Buster must be removed.
Heart:
Just make it scale with the party ilvl already or reduce it's total hp by 20%-30%
Post heart change:
Goal will also summon an EGI, the dinamic shall be alike when a player fall.
Weight of the Land:
For help the poor European, increase the plums off duration by 1 sec and half.

Good for you. Most people need to know this or they are just repeatedly caught off guard. When this person is one of your healers especially, you generally aren't going to win.

During the first days of Titan EX, when I joined some groups via PF, it was easy to notice who was carried trough Titan HM from those who weren't.

Nope, you really have no way of knowing this for sure. Titan EX is a whole other ball game. People can be a pro at Titan HM and still flounder here if they don't know the patterns.

By no means is Titan HM hard. It comes down to one simplistic fact, dodging. And lets be honest, the reason most get frustrated and leave a group, is because a lot of folks suck at dodging.

You can chuck up to lag, blah blah blah... I play on the PS3 and we all know the deal with that, yet I never had an issue dodging once I understood the fight. I watch it over and over again, folks try to finish their casting instead of moving the very second the plumes drop.

So remember folks, these three simple words in order of importance:

DODGE, DODGE AND DODGE!!!!!

OP, I see you already got your relic. Congrats.

Titan HM is okay as is. The fight was a wall for me as well and it took me 4 days to clear, but now, I have 3 relics from it for my alts and I have also helped friends through the fight, all with different party compositions so it's not that difficult. If anything, it makes the achievement of finally getting your relic that much more satisfying.

"Phase one! Time to dodge a landslide and prepare for Tumult. . .WTF!? Weights?!"

Doesn't sound too bad, but if this is also a player that has to pre-dodge due to latency, they're dead now. And you're going to assume they were carried?

You want baddies out of your content, but encourage buying a win? Makes sense.

Sarcasm Police says "Hi"

It was more of a knock at bad players, seeing how five people can beat Titan HM with 3 others AFK

*prepares to be flamed*

If by "flamed" you mean "heavily encouraged to join a group dedicated to killing titan or joining an FC", then yeah, sure. All you have to do as a tank is just sit there. It really isn't even that big of a deal if you feel like you have to eat a bomb.

What people suffer from most on this encounter is not knowing how the bomb patterns work and really bad positioning for Weight of the Land.

Challenge yes, complete halt until you organise a group of people with reflexes faster than a cheetah on a laggy server? no.

Well, I know for sure that there is a night and day difference between walmart internet running 4-6 mbps and an internet service that is supposed to run 50 mbps but runs 36 mbps.

I bought Titan carry from the first Non-Legacy group to kill Twintania. I have 4 Turn 5 kills and killed Twintania at least once before our newest set of adjustments were applied to it. Unless that's some sort of alt character, as far as I can tell you have none.

Buying a carry doesn't mean anything. Well, actually, if it means anything, it just means that you don't have a lot of patience and/or the people you play with aren't that great at the game. I also want to be clear that this is not a personal attack and should not be taken as such... But you know, I bought a carry and I let my friend play my character during it while I took a dump.

Said group performed a lot of carries and they can tell you themselves that a lot of the players that they played with did pretty well. Just because someone buys a carry doesn't make them a bad player and pretty much anyone who does boost small time stuff like this will tell you the same.

Know what I did on my first Titan sell? walked off the platform. what can i say, im a real klutz

Nope, I never said "OLOLOL YOU DIED ONCE YOU NOOB". During the first days, many groups tried to kill him during hours, not 2 tries and leave.
When II saw players who don't know where to go when bombs wer popping, yes they were carried. When we discovered the fight, during the adds, there was a new setup for the boms and after the first wipe someone everybody had already understand "go to the last set of bomb, wait for the first set to explode and go there", someone who was carried will just die again.

And, please, stop making it sounds like I said "the fight is the same". The fight isn't the same (the pattern isn't), but the vast majority of the mechanisms are the same.
