Titan Hard Primal Battle. To Hard? Or To Laggy?

[Elazule]

I've been trying to finish Titan Hard Primal Battle for like 5 days straight, from shouts to Duty Finder. Every time I get in my party Fails. Now it always seems like its Lag when we fail. I by no means am a excellent dodger for Titan's AoE moves, but I can dodge just about 95% of them. Dealing with Ifrit and Garuda Hard Primal Battles weren't really all too bad. And maybe I'm just imagining it but seems to me Titan does way too much Damage and too many AoEs in a row. Sometimes giving Healers not much time to heal anyone. (speaking about points past Heart Phase)

I don't know, just totally fed up on it. I'm probably on my 0/34 no win streak (That's a never have won battle yet kinda thing.) I highly suggest people read and give their experience for this fight and possibly could get this looked into. Its just way too hard.

Only 5 days? lol I've been at this crap for 2 weeks now. It's actually not that hard, I've just seen people who can't dodge at all, sometimes they'll just stand there and take the damage. I've had a pt of full dl people, still failed. I also had a pt where the healer decided not to cure me halfway through the fight or people who don't listen and don't build up the lb so then it's harder to beat the heart

I noticed on every run I do, we get passed the heart on the first try, then wipe because of something, then every other try we do, we get worse to the point where people die before 2nd jump :/ I'm at the point where I just feel like paying the 300k to get a win and be done with this bs.

Easy just like the other "Hard Mode" Primals. Need more coordination, and people need to refrain from panicking when something goes wrong.

This thread is what you're looking for. It's 75 or so pages of people sharing their experiences.

The battle is not too hard, but there is something of a luck element, unless your people have done it a dozen times, but moreso the answer is just to solidly remember the fight and know what to expect next at each go, and how to react to that.

If you ask me, SE needs to fix this, not because the fight is unbeatable, but because MMOs--like this one--have the technology to move away from scripted fights. If the game communicated better, we could have fights where the boss does whatever the boss wants, largely whenever the boss wants to. And that, would be a blast.

I did not make this, but I love it.

It's neither hard or too laggy, just needs practice, ive spent around 10 hours a few weeks ago on it, just to barely kill it. Now i farm it, its practice, and its a very well designed fight

The EU lagg on 140ms isnt helping, (140ms is one way)
A server park in say for example Germany would do wonders for every EU player..
Its still possible to do with "high ping" (yes in 2013 this is HIGH PING) As a former FPS player to the core I know how ping works. In FFXI we didnt have to move around alot other form of strategy there then in ffxiv. I realy love the new ffxiv with movement positioning etc etc. Put this again requiers better ping. And the game is more in the FPS scheme in needing good ping to play good. When u see a red circle on the ground below you with high ping, the circle was there even b4 you saw it, and thats why u get hit even though you moved out on your screen. So this is resulting that every EU player needs to move 2-4 seconds faster then the average USA or Canada player. (servers are in Toronto if you didnt know).

So servers in Europe is NEEDED!!! If not every EU player is playing with a HANDICAP. So if you beat Titan from europe you are actually "better" then the players beating him in US. (dont deny it, ping is a handicap if hig and an advantage if low)
Just wait until PVP comes. Then ping = everything !!! (try railgun or lightning gun in Quakelive with 140 ping. Its impossible to use.) Im playing from Norway , so in my head Germany or other country in the "middle" of EU is the ONLY solution.

Think of DF HM Titan as a coffee filter.
What comes out of the filter is delicious and aromatic coffee (Good/Average players) and what's left back there are those little bits of sediments that can't be filtered through (Below average players).
Those who are doing Titan now can see it themselves, you're starting to be grouped with players who are fully geared in DL + Garuda weapon but for some odd reason, the group just can't get past the heart phase.

And it'll only get worst.

What Snitchie says is so true! Yoshi! Command your minions to create a serverpark in Germany! Pritty please

it seems you are having trouble with stomps, all your party members must have at least 3k hp, your healers must also be able to anticipate when stomps are coming and spam medica to soak up the damage.

weight of the land (bubbles) are almost impossible to dodge on reaction due to lag and SE's weird positional checks, you can however anticipate it or just move around more frequently to reduce the chances of it placing you in the center.
