    The Major Issues

    THE 2 major coincidental issues with FFXIV: ARR

    #1 The game's faults
    #2 This "new-aged" onliners

    #1 The Game.... It's clear the game has issues all around: mechanics, basics, content, design, etc.

    #2 The "new-agers"... It seems as time goes on the english player base gets more and more cynical, meme oriented, & less helpful. In the old days people were much nicer and willing to explain. Now the first thing is sarcasm, criticism and egocentric thinking. It gives people anxiety when it comes to doing a role that puts you at risk for blame. ie. - tank, healer, or a dps with a given task (ex. stun, etc.)

    I've completed Titan HM twice via DF solo queue and both times were JP parties.. no it wasn't 1 shot deals... but even after 2-3 wipes there were no name calling or finger pointing. Ppl apologized for their mistakes and they talked through issues. 2-3 wipes in an english party and its.. "quit sucking, noobs!" "worst party ever!" "don't you know how to dodge?!" Now add in the DF latency issue + 2.5 sec GCD and you've complied the challenge into "stress." I've had an NA tank leave within 20 seconds of puling Garuda.. my only guess is was he felt the dps wasn't going fast enough to his liking? No clue, he pulled.. started tanking then 20sec later left party. I was warned he was a douche-bag from the second I went in with some LS buddies.

    Going to disregard the majority of this post, but can someone explain to me why people love to cite the 2.5 second GCD as a reason why Titan is supposedly difficult?

    Part of issue #2, "disregard" the post, and ask an obvious question. Maybe if you didn't main a PLD you'd have more insight.

    She's right, though: the GCD is not an issue at all. If you're standing in something, you don't stay there and hope you can get the heal off before the bad stuff kills you: you get out of it, THEN you cast your heal. If you're really worried about not healing the tank in time, that's what your cooldowns are for. A dead healer is worth about as much as a dead tank in most events.

    Allow me to disregard your post... ;-)

    Btw.. #2 is just my own personal issue.. Worst end game community ever? (thread)
    The fact is GCD is a general issue added with latency and inconsistency of instant/off GCD skills.. Fights that require a LOT of research prior to going in.. it's not about intuitive learning anymore. It's about memorization:
    Phase 5:
    Mountain Buster -> Stomp -> Plume -> Bombs With Landslide -> Mountain Buster -> Plume -> Rock -> Landslide. (Repeat)
    .. Move before plumes come up.. study the rock formations/patterns. Memorization > Skill.

    Stun duty for [Insert stunable mob name]... auto-attack until Eruption/Voice, etc..(unless it's off GCD OR you've memorized his patterns). Btw regen is on GCD 2.5 sec instant cast. But yes you're right spell cast time is almost on par with GCD that it's almost unoticeable.

    Basically i'm just saying SE has work to do and I'm just wondering why ppl feel they can just be so utterly disrespectful to strangers they are playing with for a common goal.. And maybe I answered myself.. DF = no consequences (as of yet). I've heard a few ppl switch to DPS roles because tanking/healing gets you chewed out faster. It's less noticeable (unless dps race) for dps to take the blame. And then in 8man there's 4 dps.. so unless you have a parser you may not have an idea who is slacking.

    Talk about hypocritical.

    You state this as a problem:

    Someone politely asks a question and you respond with this:

    Newsflash: You're part of your own problem!

    Same reason people blame Lag as to why he's "difficult" even in times I've done it yesterday I only seen 1 person blame lag while the rest who were doing bad actually admit to being bad at dodging.

    I have no issues with the GCD in Titan HM. I do however get lag in there for some reason even though I have "excellent" connection and no lag any other time. Honestly it just took a few times to recalibrate myself to move earlier for the bomb phases but the lag does exist there for some reason. Before, I moved right when things popped up on my screen and moved with the team...only to randomly drop dead on the other side of the screen with nothing around.

    edit: when i told my company leader about the lag the first thing he asked was "are you on ps3?". I've heard that apparently that is a major contributing factor for a lot of issues on Titan regardless of connection speed. Although, like most bugs in this game, it seems to affect half of the people and not the other half.

    There is no logical answer to this. The 2.5s GCD makes no difference what so ever on Titan. It's just the slight latency problem that users experience, which is easily resolved by learning Titan's pattern and moving prior to the abilities he cast.
