Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

But this is funny, Gaol at the bottom.

I was able to to do Titan HM and I think it is is pretty crappy fight in my opinion. I have not reached Titan EM yet but have a Fc friend that I think quit over this stupid fight. Yes it is doable but you have got to be kidding me with these fights. I hope the game does not keep leaning in this direction.

In terms of challenge, Titan EX is easier than Titan HM. There are far less random elements to the fight and the patterns are shorter and easier to memorize. There's less of an importance on DPS as well.
In terms of punishing, this fight is the worst. One screw up by any of the 8 people and it's almost a guaranteed wipe. Almost every element of the EX fight is unrecoverable. That's not a challenge, that's punishment.
As for changing the rules; yes, knockbacks aren't new. Getting effectively permanently removed from the arena is. You may encounter Titan 3 times but aside from Demon Wall (encountered at the end of the leveling game), this is the only fight that you experience this rule change.

Titan extreme is easier than Titan hard if you ask me. The bomb patterns are easier, the landslide allows you to move to a spot after it goes off before bombs blow, the tumults do not go up each turn so you can take all day to kill him.

Titans attack pattern never changes so you always know what is coming next.

We have a person who is always lagging for some reason even though he is closer than me to the servers. We just stick him in his own area for the pools. If you get hit by 1 pool you will not die.

The fight is fine. It is easier than what I expected from an extreme like i stated above. If you can't do it go practice. If your lag is the problem well that is not really the fight that is the problem then. This game needs fights that are not just handed to everybody. It is not part of the main scenario and is not forced on anybody.

I don't like your definition of fun then, because fighting Titan is great 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.

Yeah, a lot of people seem to consider this as content (maybe this was a thing in WoW, dunno.. never played), but a as a life-long gamer I've never seen so much yawn in a fight. It keeps you on your toes I guess, but it's not creative or challenging, and is more of a roll of the latency dice than anything else. I feel I've gotten pretty accomplished at dodging, but I've had times where I know I couldn't have moved any faster and still gotten WotL'd... usually isn't a problem for me since my ping is usually good, but I can see it in other players and I feel their pain.

Tbh I love the fight. Really, it's great fun and we laughed a lot when we tried him!

I had a thought last night on a way to make Titan a little (lot) more forgiving, and perhaps bring some fun back into this fight. *Dons flame retardant armor*

So lets say that Titan does about 3 landslides a minute, which is roughly correct depending on the phase.
Instead of having a Landslide instantly throw you off the platform and out of the fight, have Landslide deal a flat 3000 damage, and put an "Instability" debuff on you that lasts for 1 minute.
Then if you get hit by ANOTHER Landslide while you have Instability on you, then you go fly off the platform.

This means that missing 1 Landslide doesn't mean you instantly fail. Although if you don't happen to have 3k hp, you do die. Once you do get hit by one, you now MUST dodge the next 2 or you will fail.
IDK, perhaps that's a little too lenient. Lets make Instability last 2 minutes, so you need to dodge 5 out of 6 Landslides every 2 minutes... Ideally you want to dodge all of them, but this way you will not be severely punished for messing up once in a while.

As it stands, Titan feels more difficult and more frustrating than Twintania, but Titan is a DF fight and Twintania is the end boss of the current game... something seems a bit strange about that, no?

People keep bringing up landslide, but that's probably the easiest of his mechanics. With the exception of the tank now having to move occasionally it's exactly the same as the HM version. The main cause of wipes while you progress will be getting used to the new bomb formations and their slight difference in timing from HM.

The main cause of wipes is generally RNG after heart, and groups not being prepared for the third row being on the tanks side and not properly baiting landslides(goes to both the MT and everyone else).

Either that, or latency issues. I have to use WTFast, because Verizon has been having problems lately. I will agree that the fight is too latency dependent, but what can you do without making the mechanics of the fight extremely easy for anyone that doesn't have latency issues?

At least from my experience.
