Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

Kinda agree, but i want to add to this as it needs to be said & passed onto the Dev team.

There is still lagg its like the inbetween servers or whatever from urs data centre to our computer are running windows 95 as the information passes through them, this goes for the majority of plays who are not in "The Americas". Who fault is it? ISP says yours, The fact private tunnels Agree with them.... You decide.
The Titan EM fight Also involved EVERYTHING Players said to avoid using in future due to lagg & general issues with it. The Dev team didnt bother to take a second & think!!, let alone listen to players, Who are experianced & know about these things Believe it or not. (AS USUAL!).
The Majority of crybaby Endgamers who asked for harder content to spam have done it once & thats it, no more (As Usual)

Garuda EM was fun, Titan EM.... Not so much when you live outside of The Americas" theres to much delay for it to be at a playable standard.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: As i said before many times & as you the Dev's ignored (As Usual) The "Harder" content should Not (in no way shape or form) be made into quests that involve you to finish to complete the quest, because theres ones that will be playable & ones that wont.
Everyone knows making everything so it needs to be beaten for quest & Story line would be stupid, Seriously it doesnt take a Genious to figure that out & only Questionable People would make something hard to beat that involves no delay & skills beyond most of there player base, when clearly to many people are having trouble with the Hard ones atm. <-- Not me you trolls!
You'd think they would look at there statistics???? Clearly not *cough Housing, wrong wrong wrong. But thats another post.

In fact everything i said would happen, happened... Maybe not 100% correct but a good 90+% (ALSO AS USUAL!) I do get sick of being So Right all the time Yoshi & Dev Team. I called PVP probliems 100% tho :P & im mainly a PVE MMO gamer.

If you have people dying all the time so you can recover all the time, how can you judge someone else's player skill when no one should be dying... let alone all the time?

I think the problem isn't the mechanics of Titan EM. It wasn't the mechanics in HM either. It's how the UI interfaces with the server and since there is a delay (and a huge one for many people, even those with great connections by any other account) that SE has no intention of addressing, certain players, skilled or not, are left behind. Time Warner users know exactly what I'm talking about.

In HM, you can learn to preavoid everything, and hope that you don't accidentally get caught in plumes (or multiple eruptions in the case of Ifrit/Ultima) and eventually you will succeed. As you get higher gear, this becomes easier (since I hit i70+ I have not lost an HM fight because of my lag), but there are also constraints on how quickly you can get that gear in a week/ever(never saw a single SCH primal weapon. Went straight from DL to Relic).

Ultimately though, you shouldn't have to prevoid. The fact that some people lag and some people don't hurts the community greatly; the fact that people are instantaneously against others is just pathetic. If SE cannot fix the lag issue, they should stop being so inclined to use abilities that punish their clients for not having Teh Uber Connection Time.

I think the problem with Titan is the fact that you cannot revive those who died. Landslide is not really a problem by itself, it's a mechanic that keeps up the adrenaline (well, that and the latency, mostly latency), but not being able to revive just sucks balls, especially because latency is a given part of MMO. I do think that Titan mechanics rely solely on good internet connection instead of player skill, and that's just bad

Titan Extreme isn't very hard with people who know what they are doing and how to dodge like people in your FC.

However if you want more extreme mode weapons by repeating the quest you have to rely on DF if you don't want to keep bothering people in your FC to do extreme modes. Getting 7 other people who know how to dodge and do the fight in DF is like winning the lottery it almost never happens. Biggest issue with the fight getting a full group who can dodge mechanics.

I dont agree, i find Titan Extreme very fun, i havent cleared it yet but i've only had a handful of attempts and I found it to be a lot of fun.

This game heavily relies on Instant Kill Mechanics to make content difficult. Titan is the only fight IN THE ENTIRE GAME that has the possibility to completely remove you from the fight. On top of pretty much every action he does being an instant kill.

Constant dodging is not only trivial, but frustrating when if you screw up one time your done. I clear twintania weekly, and even twisters aren't as punishing as landslide. Sick of this being considered "fun" Content when half the people have difficulty getting out of ridiculous plumes. Please stop with all these instant kill mechanics that are way to over punishing.

Amen. Best post I have read on this forum in a long long time. I hope SE reads this.

Every developer, honestly - almost every game ever released involves mechanics listed. Remember pits in mario games? Spikes in Megaman games? Yeah instant death mechanics aren't new, just people being overly sensitive to it now.

XIV is your first MMO and that's ok - Because there's many MMOs with traps you can jump into that kills you instantly, same with large drops (which some boss arenas have.) It's just a sad time that people are overly sensitive to something that isn't new in gaming at all :\
