I was clearly wrong. Luckily it doesn't happen every fight, but still very annoying. The worst part is people that think it is an excuse for dying, and it isn't. So on someone else's screen it might look like you weren't out on time while on yours you were. For example, I was out of a set of plumes in one case so quickly that I had enough time to perform an attack on Titan after I was safe before the plumes went off, then mysteriously died, so it wasn't even a case of barely got out. Basically I wasn't even running. I stopped outside plumes and attacked. The only explanation was that one or two of the plumes was not showing on my screen, so I was still standing in a couple and not knowing it, just like the invisible landslide that happened once.
    It's really not that bad, I had an FC member playing from Australia that did Tex just by memorizing the mechanics.. After a few runs, the mechanics are pretty easy to predict and you just have to start moving before you see the shinies.

    That is one of the hoaxes put by people that did not know the fight. When the arena will be fully slided, there will be just one place you can go to avoid doom, and before see the shinies (shinies!!!) you don't know where that point is.

    If everybody is stacked, even in 5-way landslide, the slide's position will be predictable, one of the known strat for +X bombs pattern with landslide is to lure landslide to the first set of bomb then all of it becomes predictable, however the problem remains that supposedly some others can dodge it even with no stacking, and you got slided alone, the party usually will put the blame on you.. In the end, it really depends on the party.. Its not really like the party needs to stack on wotl either, with current gear, most people can survive 2-3 stack of wotl..

    I'm not saying it's easy, but if you're looking at your party, there is a deadzone in the angles just by drawing the possible angles out originating from Titan. There's the safe spot.

    I understand the combat lag sucks in this game, but more often than not it's possible to just brute force your way by memorizing the pattern.. Not saying that's a good model, crappy combat is one of my biggest disappointment with the game.. But if you must get through the content, it's not too difficult to do that.
