devs attitude to players

[KokonoeAiyoko]

They had and still have this obnoxious behavior with FFXI, and it continued on to this game. They just simply don't give a care about their players. The game could end up getting near it's death like with FFXI currently, but they still won't do anything to entice their fans. The playerbase is shrinking on FFXIV, it's not dead yet, but all this blatant uncaring and condescending tone they respond to us with is enough to make me skip out on this game. They best clean up their act soon because there are plenty of other options out there and we don't need to be treated like we're 4 years old when it comes to updates or tweaks.

I've fought Titan hard many times and there have been times I've been hit because I lost focus for a split second and there were times I've been hit and it was purely lag. Zooming out on those fights is pretty much required if you plan to win. Hopefully they do get the lag/network issues handled soon because I experience them every afternoon.

its not a issue of difficulty its lag pure and simple i cant tell you how meny times ive got hit by a weight of the land or bombs when i ran out of them

i can still 100% dodge weight and landslide in every titan runs, sometimes still got hit by the bombs though
and i'm sitting here with 150 ping (from SEA to JP)
are you sure it's not your connection?

My ping is 157ms. I can get killed by weights behind Titan even though I reach the main tank before they explode. His landslide is aimed to the South and I get hit and fall off from the East... and no, I wasn't even close to him.
So what do I do? I expect a weight to spawn, run in advance and just trap the other players. Pretty good strategy right? >.>

Would you rather everyone else in your group tell you that you're bad?

He's right though, even with a bit of lag knowing the patterns is 95% of the battle.

There have been occasions when I've been effected by actual latency issues in Titan, but to be perfectly honest it hasn't been a major issue.

It just feels out of place. When sometimes you just go, "Damn, I'm so going to get hit now!.." And you don't, and other times when I have seriously been standing outside of the AoE for like a second and still get hit. Its like playing a game with a high input lag, you can accommodate the 'extra difficulty', but it just really feels bad and not very well made, plain off-putting..

Id much rather them tighten up the animation to match the casting times, reduce the lag and reduce the casting times, would have made for a MUCH better playing experience and predictability in regards to my own reaction times.

I would bet people right next to the servers can get lag if the situation arrises. Internet is not perfect so why should we be? Things happen to routes even good ones from time to time. TCPIP was designed with errors in mind when it was first made. However good it was there still room for improvement. I don't see the lag as a player issue but a design one on SE's part. They don't need to make the fight easier , no not at all. I heard they were working with various ISP's to figure out things like traffic shaping and network throttling. My connection from Comcast is normally 39ms end to end. But there are those days where I will see it go as high as 4000ms in spikes. Not always and not everyday but let's just say it's been there during a titan run or prat run. It happens. I learn to live with it but it's still annoying. Nothing is perfect guys. Just because ppl can win with lag doesn't mean they should. Luck plays a factor even with good players.

Its more likely your computer or whatever you are playing the game on(not sure how PS3 fares) I've heard frame rates effect it, and have noticing it being harder to dodge when plumes are stacked, as it gives a small hiccup in fps, though still very avoidable. I play on VERY unstable connection with very high ping at various hotels as i travel for work. I have no issues dodging anything from titan. I also tether to my phone at times, and have no issue there either. You also have to get used to the cast bars(not animations). It might help if they synced the graphics to the damage a little better,instead of giving a false sense of dodging something you didn't, but its definitely something you can avoid.

I would have more sympathy.. but I felt the same way while i was learning the fight the first several times, till I got the rotations down, and saw that the cast times and animations don't align. And now I have 0 issues avoiding.

It's probably because you're a computer player. I'm on the PS3 and I don't get hit by anything..

I will be honest though...I remember when I first started Titan that I used to blame lag too.
