Titan HM - Server Lag

[Patrikules]

Hello, I love the mechanics and believe the fight is toned perfectly (except for maybe the increased dmg of tumult in the final phase). I have had over 12 people I know who have quit the game due to the fact of SERVER LAG on the fight. Players whom have top of the line computers and high speed internet will see themselves out of the 'danger zone' and others will see them out but they will still get hit. The friends I have who have zero problems with the fight and NEVER get hit by mechanics are living in the northern midwest of the U.S (ie: Chicago, IL area) due to the fact that they are extremely close to the Montreal us/eu server. I have also noticed that the longer you are in any instanced dungeon/trial the greater your chances of having a lag spike will be. Yoshi P telling everyone in a live letter that they "need to be better and zoom the camera out" is absolutely ridiculous and insulting to the players who have been raiding for years and know how to play.

Just pre-emptively move out of, and into stuff. Problem solved.

I feel your pain. The latency issues are a huge annoyance for me as well.

i have a really awesome custom built computer myself and fiber optic internet connection as well, i feel all their pain........but it may help them if they zoom the camera in for majority of the phases, and only zoom out on bombs, its how i fight it now and dont have much issue with that lag.....from what i seen, its the game design itself, like it seems like it can only do so many fps, and it tries to figure out the best order for the items to appear, which can also explain how some plumes almost half a second, or even a whole second, after the first plume appeared. but thats just a guess based on what i come across fighting him

Same issue here. Easiest solution might be just build in more time to compensate for lag, but that's not really solving the problem.

I have a friend living in dubai who solo heals titan hm, idk man. I honestly think people need to practice the fight more and preemptively move more.

He's not lying. I'm playing with 200+ ping, and don't have a problem with Titan. I almost always survive til the end.
Raiding for years doesn't automatically make you a good player.

People need to understand that the actual damage and the animation are not the same. For example, landslide, if I am standing in the attack when the cast bar hits full, it doesn't matter if you move 5ft or 50yards because you were registered in the attack at the time of the cast completion. On the same note, if you are out of landslide and move into it right after the cast ends, Titan will punch you straight in the skull and nothing will happen. Damage != animation.

I don't understand the point of these threads. It's one thing to be bad, but it's another to blame the mechanics when other players can kill Titan with the flick of a wrist. And gear doesn't really have anything to do with it.

The main problem in this game is that half the population with relic weapons couldn't even kill Titan because it was sold so widely, I know because I was selling it. You need to put more time/effort into understanding the fight and it's mechanics, especially something like Titan.

trolling

you must not understand what lag is

ping plotter application can do a constant tracert and put it on the screen for you to easily see where your packets are dropping (if any)

also in my experience the required system specs are too low for this game, resulting in graphic/computation lag
