    theres been first timers not being hit by anything for the whole duration of the fight, why? cause if you mastered titan hm, titan ex shouldnt be an issue.

    tbh the fight by far easier than titan HM

    plus plumes are nothing compared to twintania divebombs

    As a person who dodges almost everything and rarely has lag... I'm always baffled on those rare occasions where stuff hits me. I figure it's a lag spike, or a slight disruption from the server... but I can't imagine what it's like to have that sort of hindrance all the time.

    About the difficulty of the fight: we got one of our FC paladins the win on his second try post-heart. Some people adapt quicker than others.

    Sometimes lag is self inflicted. I had an Ifrit extreme fight last week where I was hitting everything Ifrit threw out even though it looked like I was out. Turns out the photos I was uploading to Facebook were killing my connection. Got rid of that after the first wipe and had no issues. I've no idea why it had such a large effect, my connection is around 10mb.

    Point is be aware of background programs/web tabs.

    As far as MMOs go, I'm pretty sure FFXIV uses a lot more bandwidth than others. My reason for saying this is because I have been playing MMOs for 10+ years. I am close to the NA datacenter (an 8 hour drive, my ping is ~50)... yet when I first tried Titan, I couldn't dodge anything. Even landslides were getting me. I never had this issue with other MMOs. Upgrading my ISP package to 50 mbps down fixed all of my problems. Now I rarely get hit by anything. I don't think you need 50 mbps down to dodge things -- that was just the next level of upgrade for me. The reason I mention this is because you said uploading photos was causing you to lag... yeah, that's eating up your bandwidth. I bet another MMO would not be affected that way. I hope SE eventually optimizes its bandwidth use as not every person is going to pay for the best of the best internet to play this game. Ping is just one issue as far as lag is concerned.

    i hate that
    360ms ping (Average), worse i know of in game, i can avoid everything 99%+ of the time

    Because I use battleping, Reason being SE..... Useless with there attempts to fix the lagg & connection issues. But they are & have tried so i dont blame them & also because i take my End Game seriously unlike most who just sit there & complain.

    I got a ~5 mbps connection, beein close to Paris.

    Got like 80ms on NA server, not even 35 on EU server. And there's like, an ocean you know between me and the datacenters.

    I have lots of trouble in Titan HM. Not because of poor lag, but lag spikes. I would not even be close enough to the void zones to melee someone standing on the edge of it, but i am still hit. Suffice to say i have no choice but to play poorly and be constantly moving to pre-empt the void zones at the cost of healing output. Quite frankly, it is either that or die.

    The issue isn't how much bandwidth it uses. For example, a 1 meg connection is plenty, the issue arises when that connection is in use. Even if, say, only HALF of it was being used for downloading, ie you limit your download speed with something like netlimiter, you will still have issues. Why? Because the remote connection for that download, has no idea you limit, at least not right away. So the initial push will typically max your connection out, and this happens quite often with web surfing. This is why having a much "faster" connection helps, because it's harder for the remote connection to saturate it.

    I have to deal with a 5/1 connection, and I have special router firmware that allows me to cap everyone to a certain speed. But like above, at the beginning of every connection, before the sending server realizes we can't accept at the rate they are sending, the connection is choked. And simple web surfing is worse than a sustained download in this respect. The download will normalize within a second or two, but web surfing is more jittery and has many more connections, each with the same issue.

    Yeah, it's a problem here. But I learned to live with it over time. Still hoping they will fix it one day, though.
