Titan [Extreme Mode]

[EinSoFZ]

Anyone else see this as just a bad design? If you're going to release new content, why be lazy about it by tweaking a few numbers up and call it "extreme" mode? I started getting bored of wow ever since their new definition of new content was "hard mode".

Well I'd wait until we have a full kind of idea about what to expect from these battles. We don't know that they're really just gimmicked hard modes set to be annoying.

Bad design is taking what makes most people rage (one hit kill mechanics + latency) and making it worse. They're betting too high on their "0.3 update delay" fix; I'm sure it'll still be almost unplayable during peak hours.

Bad design is an understatement. "Almost" unplayable? In Europe, you may drop the "almost".

I have already unsubscribed on this combined issue of "server side evaluation of player position" plus "one hit kill mechanics" plus "long latency". Tired of getting hit by that stupid "mini-ray of death" when you were out of the bad even before the mob started casting. If you think of it, it's surreal.

As Danny Glover says to Mel Gibson, I'm too old for this... nonsense.

If you truly unsubscribed, then just leave us who actually play alone, you who have the filthy habit of quitting.

Well if this so called extreme mode is only harder because it does more in less time.. I am extremly dissapointed in the whole design SE has probably no Idea how to do a Hard boss.

uhm, there's 1 landslide going behind him, 2 to the sides, and 2 to the front...that's 5 landslides, not 2 or 3.
Then there's bombs in each not-so-safe safe-spot; So pick a bomb, it's gonna be a blast.

You dont help anyone, by carrying them, you make them lazy, overgeared, and underskilled.
Which leads to that awkward moment, when ilv50-55 DF PUG, perform better, in WP, than bought relic +1 party.
Which leads to vote kicks, and bad community.
So it's a term i learned, it's called false kindness
If you want to be kind and helpful, you can still make a Titan party, to give them the chance to fight in a party, that knows the fight; then they have the chance to actually learn it/get better/clear it. If they die, you wipe, so they only clear it, once they are capable.

It's flabbergasting to me how so many people think there are latency or design issue.
Never had a problem really, even from EU.
Then again, didn't have problems in 1.0 either really, but ppl were going nuts about latency there.

The one thing that's sad about SE's design is how pretty much all mobs have a specific pattern for their skills.
Would be a lot more challenging and fun if it was randomnized imo.
Let's hope for randomnized skill order in Extreme modes. (:

Aery, for all I care they may give bosses skills that wipe all the party without chance of avoiding them. It's your problem now. :P

That sounds like awesome fun actually, I'd be down for it!

Just like regular Titan, the sales will start high but then go down to nothing. There was a time people charged a million for a Titan run. Now people will do it for free out of boredom and even those that charge don't charge more than like 100k. A few months after Titan Extreme comes out, wins will be cheap/free/easy, just like regular Titan.
