Titan Extreme: Latency Needs to be Addressed

[Bixby]

Firstly: Square has latency issues in primals as an "Accepted Bug"

The name of that forum is misleading. It should really be "accepted bug reports" or something, because it's not really for things they've accepted as a legitimate bug. It's for bug reports that contain enough information and correct formatting for them not to throw away based solely on lack of information. It's got nothing to do with the legitimacy of the bugs themselves.

The legitimacy of said bug comes from thousands of players who are hit by this issue~ these players are spread over MULTIPLE ISPs~ which points to Square being responsible for this issue~

At any point did you ever question the validity of these claims?

When you move your character on your screen, that movement is not immediate. Your character's movement actually happens x.xxx seconds later on the servers than it does on your screen. The amount of time varies depending on your latency with S-E's servers.

Now, some people think that if they are out of the color-changing floor when the spell finishes casting, they should be completely safe from the spell. When they die, they cry "lag". Sometimes, it is a legitimate lag spike and shitty ping. Sometimes, they just didn't move quick enough and don't seem to understand the concept of latency, so they are quick to blame lag and claim that their death is unfair.

So, of those "thousands of players" who are hit by this issue, how many of them have legitimately bad lag and how many of them simply don't realize how the internet works? The people complaining about this issue is a mixture of both. How do you know which are legitimate and which aren't? How do you know what percentage of these complaints are legitimate.

Neither of us will ever know. However, all I do know is that EX Titan is killed countless times every day. On that note, how can you reliably say that this is a universal problem and that it's S-E's fault?

The Latency in Titan Extreme, particularly involving "Weight of the Land" needs to be adjusted. It is too unforgiving for those who have latency issues.

What latency issue?

[Mister-Wonderful]

It's not latency, you didn't move fast enough. Titan is scripted for a reason.

He's still correct though, Accepted Bug just means SE will research and look into it themselves. It's not a confirmed bug.

If you play Titan below 30 FPS or watch Youp*rn at the same time ...

... you gonna have a bad time.

This game is based on server positioning calculation/estimates, not client side (like other MMO's). In this case you will always be at the mercy of your internet, some internet provider hub, or SE servers, basically anything between them and you can be an issue.

So essentially the issue will never be "fixed" because server side models are like this, consider it functioning as intended.

Consider this scenario.

A server with 40,000 active players has 40 'legitimately' complaining about a latency issue. (I'm not talking /airquotes "lag" excuses)

Let's assume the real number of people affected is 10x as much, so ~400.

1%.

Is the issue that affects 1% of an entire server population realistically something effecting the SE server as a whole?

I mean, I don't math good, but the odds are there is an external influence to those numbers. Outside of SE's scope.

Some nights I can do this fight no problem, other nights its terrible. Last week was fine, this week, not so much.
As for people saying 'know the rotations,' that doesn't help much when you have 3-4 second freeze prior to landslide, and then the markers appear at the same time as the attack goes off... all you can do is hope someone didn't lure it off-centre and you're in a safe spot :x
When I'm not getting lag we generally one-shot it. It's so frustrating having a fight which is so unforgiving and so badly affected by lag.
Shame, because I do enjoy the fight otherwise. Music's badass!
