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

@OP Agreed.
There are 2-3 individuals in my FC with the same issues as you. One of them with across-the-board lvl 50's and Nexus stuffs to-boot. In other words, not "a casual".

Add 0.05 seconds to the time between when all the AOEs show and when they hit and watch Titan EX completion rates soar. Reduce reward drop rates accordingly to account for the "ease" of the altered instance.

I think that Titan EX has the tightest timing of any encounter in the game. While SE's testing no doubt attempts to balance the timing within the technical bounds of the game, I think they need to review the parameters. They're not designing for the latency that many people experience. If SE does not have a way to adjust their test environment to the extremes of their latency design window, that needs to be added.

The challenge is to accommodate high latency players without affecting the challenge for those with low ping. While more difficult, this could also be done by pinging each client at the start of the encounter and adjusting individual timing accordingly. That would put everyone on exactly the same footing.

The very fact that fight so fixed and requires guesswork and knowledge beforhand before even attempitng to finish it imho is the worst possible situation in mmorpg's in general. My personal gripe is those heavily scripted moments. There are many times where i see wheight of land plumes half second long( especialy at heart phase and right after it), its just one pulse of it and bam im hit, i cant even begin to outrun or even if im moving beforehand im hit. Its just plain ridiculously stupid, and guessing is with luck too, i asure you that window of knowing when its gona be cast can vary +/- 1sec. Landslides are at the point where i must be on move before at time of casting, othervise my relyance on luck of not knowing whether ill be hit or not even when im long out of landslide is not acceptable.

Nothing about this fight is guesswork. If you think it's guesswork then it could explain any problems you have. It's a specific pattern that always repeats the same way unless you push a phase.

I personally prefer React vs memories.

This is a memories fight. Without enough time to react.
My FC active members are mostly doing Shiva EX. However only 1 has titan EX done because the content isn't important any longer and lag issue with prevent players from finishing it.

[Mercutial]

Just... please... leave Titan EX alone. The DPS check that is Ramuh EX is soon to go the way of Ifrit. Shiva is the new Levi in terms of coasting to victory after victory. Mog just isn't fun.

Titan is the only primal that remains somewhat fresh and challenging.

[sackm]

you should be able to easily beat the fight even if you fall off unless your DPS are a bunch of wet noodles.

Playing from germany and i can dodge everything just fine.

Learn how to play and stop crying.

yes lets punish the players who can easily clear this fight in 4 minutes by reducing the pony drop rate

Okay, I think the point of everyone's opinions has been pretty much made. I appreciate those who showed sympathy, as much as those who gave helpful advice. I feel happy for those who have no latency issue and can have this fight proceed smoothly even from Europe. However, I do not enjoy insults and non-constructive criticize as much as I do not enjoy receiving them in Duty, so I think I will stop looking at this thread as I fear it's going to turn into a nest of venomous comebacks that I'd rather be not a part of. If people have been hurt by my suggest again I apologize as much as I did a page ago.

I hope everyone has a good day, and I hope that I will not make so many players upset at me in future content.
