Now that it is "old content", could we get a nerf on Titan EX? (lag woes)

[Bluevann]

So because you're experiencing lag, you want an already easy fight nerfed? Lol

It's not because I am experiencing lag that I want a fight nerfed. It's because I am sad of upsetting people. I always try my very best to be polite and never make anyone angry in any situation, and I guess I just feel powerless before this. I cannot do anything more than this to try not make my party members upset.

[Mykll]

I experience the same lag. On my screen, I can run out of a plume, be out of the plume, be ahead of the guy behind me running out of the plume, the guy behind me still in the plume, and yet I get hit and the one behind me still in the plume (on my screen) doesn't. So I don't even bother trying Titan Extreme.

And it seems like there are some AOEs that are just unavoidable for me.

Coil 1 Turn 1. First boss, tanking the adds in the back of the room. First orb spawn, does AOE, dodge easy. But, ALWAYS, ALWAYS the SECOND one that the FIRST orb does, it does a VERY fast pulse and there is no avoiding it. The first AOE, the third, fourth, the AOEs from the Second orb, or if a Third ever does spawn, all avoidable. Just the first orb, second AOE, it does like a strobe light pulse instead of ground AOE, cast bar, etc.

Same thing with Brayflox. Before the second boss, those 4 mobs right outside. The one lizard that does a circle AOE centered on it (jump attack?) does the strobe light pulse things. ALL other mobs, ALL other AOEs in that entire dungeon do not do that. Just that one mob, that one attack.

So why is it for me only very specific mobs and very specific attacks (and like Turn 1, ONLY the second AOE, not the first, or third +) I have either lag in getting out, or the AOE is just a strobe light pulse with zero chance of getting out of?

I don't run Brayflox NM very often, or remember any type of lizard mob in HM version before the 2nd boss....

But that AOE you are talking about in Turn 1 from the ADS is unavoidable for everyone, not just you. It is supposed to be silenced, but if you only have one person who is willing to silence in your party, that move is cast a second time before a Bard's Blunt Arrow is off GCD again so a single Bard would only be able to ever silence every other AOE. PLD, NIN and SCH fairy Selene are all capable of silencing this move, but not all of them will. NIN might be in the wrong poison, PLD animation lock is pretty awful for Spirits, and Selene AI only recently got fixed for her to handle this on her own.

You could just ask for a carry one person dying isn't a big deal.

On my particular case, I am just not supportive of merc system, but that's me. Even so, I think content that is discriminating on people's machines/connection (see hunts for PS3) should be reviewed.

[Valsharia]

sounds like less an issue of being too hard and more an issue of italy's internet being crummy, should be fine when they finally move the datacenters to europe though for heavensward

I was speaking of NM. That big room where most parties hug left wall and clear, and there are those alcoves whatever, 2 of them, with treasure chest. Right before you enter the lizard boss, where when it is almost dead the last name dragon jumps down on you. There is the lizard guy, I think a frog, and a pugil or two something like that, right before that boss.

I am not talking about the AOE from ADS. I am talking about the AOEs from the adds that spawn in the back of the room (the entrance exactly, whether people call that the front or back of the room....) where usually the second tank hangs back solely to keep those "little ADS" guys busy. First one spawns, does his little AOE, dodge easy. Second time the first one that spawns does it, strobe light. Third AOE, it is a normal dodgeable one. As are all the ones of the second little orb that spawn, and the third if ADS is still alive.

One type of node's AOE is actually nearly undodgable (think its called Dirty Cannons or something...been a long time since Ive even seen any nodes spawn in T1...), with a cast time of less than 1 second. Its supposed to be like that.

Download and use Pingzapper or WTfast, both of these will remove the latency issues your having. I have friends who play from new zealand, Australia and other countries, before using them they had tons of issues, now with these programs, they dodge like the rest of us.

If these don't work for you, i have some bad news, you simply can not dodge

Battleping for the win. Shaves latency off like no one's business. Using these programs is a must for Oceanic players :/ especially in pvp (still doesn't help in some instances, but we learn to adapt to it). Welcome to our world, whereas before all MMO's Oceanic players were interested in had the servers based in NA and we were at your mercy. Now the tables have turned.

Try this program out. I have friends who complain about the lag of Titan but have refused to use these programs. I love them but stop complaining if you don't want solutions to the problem.

forget titan
