devs attitude to players

[WHS]

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.

I've beaten Titan. I have my relic. The fight itself isn't hard. The difficult part is that you HAVE to memorize the rotation so that you can be moving before he begins casting his abilities. That's not fighting Titan, that's fighting the game to make up for its shortcomings. Yoshi-P can don the DealWithIt shades if he wants, but if stuff like this doesn't get addressed it IS going to negatively affect player retention.

I actually don't have to memorize them. Again, ~200ms and I can dodge it all, not predict, dodge.

I seem to have the opposite issue to many people, in that everything functions server-side (buffs activate, attacks land) but the animation doesn't trigger at my end. I've mentioned it before, but it's not unusual for mounts to take 10-20 seconds to load. And I can't count the amount of times I've had to stand and wait for an NPC to load - or killed an enemy before I've drawn my sword.

I'm on the PS3, and the lag is hilarious. Interestingly, in a different city, on a different connection, and on the PC, I have the same problem.
