Why can't people dodge?

[Rosy]

Sick of the lag excuse. In most cases, it's not lag. It's skill. Slow reactions. Tunnel vision. Not knowing what to do.

Bomb boulders is a good example. People aren't sure what to do and follow others. BZZZ. That won't work. They're moving 1-2 seconds before you see them do. When you follow, you're 1-2 seconds too slow and will get hit. You cannot rely on others on where to move to. You have to know yourself. This isn't a lag issue. It's a skill issue.

Great to hear you're not suffering from the generalised lag everyone else is! Care to share you secrets? or do you live next door to the servers :/

Even if you do have lag, the entire fight is scripted. You can know in advance when a weight is coming. There's no reason to ever get hit by it. You can start moving before it appears.

Sorry but lag isn't a good excuse.

this is the most ignorant comment I have heard. Your reality is not always this of others. I do have SERVER lag, I cannot do anything against it. I do move as soon as I see it on my screen BUT, when I see you have seen it a second or so before I did see it, therefore what looks like to you I am standing in the mid of plubmes wihtout moving isnt so to me. I am a SCH, to avoid that I have to move constantly around...imagine I am a healer that have to move around...as a whm is even worse. Even if you know the mechanic, you still are caught because you dont know how much time your server lag has. what you do run ? yeah but my healing is non existant...

Please refrain from talking when you have no clues what you are saying or believe that what you believe to be is the only truth.

Come on down to Australia, where you're lucky to get under 300 ping. Even Yoshi had issues with Titan when he played while in Sydney.

Funny. I personally know a couple Australians that seem to have no problems dodging and clearing Titan.

You know why? Because they move before it appears because they memorized his rotation. Stop making excuses for your inability. You will never improve as long as you continually blame something else.

Welp it's become the norm to cry "LAG" for any mistakes as no-one can prove otherwise. Also Mei, if it was "server lag" everyone would be suffering from it. not just you

Plus Titan advertises when he is going to do an ability, he lifts his arms for WotL and turns for Landslide.

So what you're saying, i have to perfectly memorize the exact moment, factoring in my latency, that a Weight will come my way, and evade it before it happens just so i can be as good as the worst US player with a 40 ping average.

Basically, i have to be better than you to clear the same content. OK.

Or maybe SE can slap in systems to reduce the effects of Latency. I have zero issues with Titan HM. But with Titan EX, one single tiny latency spike for even a split second will throw off my entire rotation and BAM I'm a speck on the floor.

Latency doesn't just negatively affect Titan runs. In any boss fight with a one shot kill mechanic, I'm at the tender mercies of RNG Latency. Roll the dice, 4 - 6 you win the Latency test, grats. Oh bugger, you rolled a 1, now you're dead.

Uh, he has a specific rotation. It's easy to know when a weight of the land is coming. It's a simple rotation that's not hard to memorize.

People with PS3s sometimes have to compensate too. The system won't always display graphical effects as early as it should.
