Yeah, no issues when I did it. And I did it as a squishy, 4600hp PLD. (for hard mode).
EX really wasn't much worse. I died more to misjudging the hit box of the 5-way landslides than I did to any kind of lag.
I remember having to get full darklight on DRG. My friends told me that if I didn't get full darklight, that I'd get kicked out of stuff like Amdapor Keep. It wasn't quite true, but I farmed Wanderer's Palace until I had Darklight pants and body, and then I bought Wyrm Armlets for my hands. Got a darklight harpoon in Wanderer's Palace, and I felt like a bad ass.
Then I upgraded to Ifrit's Harpoon in PUG Ifrit HM groups. Remember people saying PLD was required to stun lock him with shield bash for every Eruption, because they hadn't implemented stun immunity building yet?
I did Garuda HM, and I remember that there's this portion that's always skipped now where the tornados start, and you have to walk her around the arena. Plume adds come out again with a Satin Plume, and you have to kill them, but especially the Satin, to not get everyone slept.
Titan HM, I remember I couldn't get a PUG that could beat it, but my RL Navy friend had a friend who had a static who already had relics and were 1.0 vets, and they took me on what was essentially a carry run. They told me I just had to live until the heart broke and they could do the rest. I lived past the heart breaking until about 37% and then I did a Jump with dat 3~4 second animation lock when Weights came out and died. They could have raised me, but they didn't bother, but I still felt good about it and got my Gae Bolg. I made it a point after that to never get caught in Weights of the Land again. I mean, I have been hit by them, but never on a jump.
Titan Ex I remember having some issues with the tells and cast bar showing up on PS3, PS3 had some horrendous lag related to its port version and how its code interacted with FFXIV netcode. I went on my i85 WAR, and I died a few times by getting knocked off due to that lag, and I was going with my friend's static, and they actually told me I was a scrub and kicked me out of the group lol. I got'em back later with a hard grilling when I helped them with Coil and their PLD performed poorly, but even so lol... memories, like the corners of my mind.
(Signature portrait by Amaipetisu)
"I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore
