I hate Titan

[MXMoondoggie]

It's getting pretty pointless and the sad thing is i know that after i kill Titan i never actually have to do it again unless i want to. It's frustrating trying hard to avoid stuff and even if i was well out when the skill hits i still get hit by it then die. Then people just start bitching like "oh you blame lag but you're just bad" more than me die and say there is lag but i get picked out because i'm a healer and needed.

Kinda at a point where i wish i didn't bother to subscribe for more time thinking i could get a relic and do other stuff. Could have settled for beating the story and Ifrit,Garuda HM's. Garuda was still fun while giving some strain to healing. Titan is just either i heal the tank or dodge and if i dodge the tank is dead. If i heal the tank i take heavy damage or die outright because the game just decided all 4 plumes are around me. Wasted my money. Can't progress since what i need to finish is barely playable for me.

I'm a tank such latency doesn't hurt me on the fights, but boy do I see it. Everyone will stop for 2-3 seconds then resume, usually all across the map from where they were. I see people teleport out of the way of attacks, or completely dodge an attack then die nearly 5 meters from where the attack actually hit.

So far lag has caused 90% of my team wipes, by estimation. 10% are bad players.

if i were to give a breakdown:
15% of my wipes were due to lag
45% were unprepared/new players
37% were DF groups, i think that's self explanatory
3% were controller errors.

starting to lose patience.

I don't know why people says "oh, rock bombs have lots of patterns, it's so difficult" while you can just watch at the spawn order to know when they'll explode XD
My problem is latency, I'm on PS3 and I almost always manage to aviod Landslide and Weight of the Land, except for sometimes when I run out of the AoE clearly before it disappears, I go on running for 2-3 seconds and then I get killed when I'm on the opposite side of the field -.-
I think I'll buy either a PC or a PS4.

It is a connection problem I think

He's my favorite encounter in the game. Even though we have him "on farm" it's still a blast every time and still challenging without being overbearing. Heck even running FC-mates who are new to him is fun, even if it means we die a lot. It's just a really good fight, with awesome music to boot.

Once everyone in the group knows the fight it becomes a lot more manageable. It's dealing with pugs where people just can't dodge or don't know the mechanics that causes people most of their grief with this fight, I think. Or the "lag", but I honestly haven't experienced any issues with that.

Trust me, lag is really an issue. Makes you need to react almost before an attack is launched by Titan. A real nightmare also because sometimes you evade an attack, and the next time, even if you react as fast as you did before, the attack gets you.
You cannot go: see the stomp or landlide area of effect > move out
You must: know stomp or landslide are about to come > move before you even see the area of effect

Today I will ready a macro with Sprint+Fists of Wind to be used before Plumes arrive. Hope that'll help me a bit =)

I was finally able to beat this $$##$^. I felt relieved knowing that I will never have to fight this A hole ever again. I found out that the standard camera and keyboard setting were a reason why I had a ton of problems during this fight. Lag was number 1. Once I changed the camera settings and the slide for A and D buttons, I was able to beat him with the team I was in. I did not have fun during this fight and looking back at it I find it the most appalling thing of this game.

It is honestly my favorite fight in this game. I understand the frustration of pugging it as the first time I killed it was with trying for days with pug groups. However with a full FC group it's a fun fight mechanically coil 1-4 doesn't compare.

You know you'll likely have to do the EXTREME HM fights for one purpose or another, right?

I don't see a reason to do those battles. I wouldn't mind Ifrit or Garuda. It may be because I have not played other MMOs, but I will have my Relic and +1 tonight. Eventually I will get my AF2 gear. I see no point in stressing over pointless battles.

And maybe EM primals will give weapons above ilv90, or they will be required for some quest, or to get in some other dungeon...
You know, SE is really good at finding excuses
