Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

[Billie21]

47 pages of people playing the FF14 forums instead of FF14, due to 1 fight. 47 pages of fighting and different opinions.

I hope this is not what the developers had in mind when they created Titan. As I said before and I strongly believe. Titan X is a community divider.

Is it not already dividing the people into 2 main camps in the forums? And I believe this is just the beginning.

Actually there are way more than "2 camps" on this topic here.

There are those that think it's hard and fun
Those that think it's easy and like it
Those that think it's stupid and boring
Those that think it's too hard period (though I haven't seen many of those, more like they didn't like certain mechanics in the fight, arguably the same mechanics that make it "hard")

Those that think it's unplayable with delay
Those that think it's totally playable with it and are fine with that; those that think it is, but are not

etc...

And mostly, the trolls
(those that think any of previously mentionned "camp" are either elitists jerks unwilling to face the truth because of a sense of superiority, or just bad players who want everything handed to them on a silver plate).

Easy fix is easy: make falling off the platform impossible (by changing Geocrush so that it drops rocks around the edge to shrink the combat area rather than removing material from the dais) and make it impossible for more than one Weight of the Land to hit a single player. Adjust other mechanics upward to compensate for this change (i.e. make being hit by Landslide do considerable damage and stun for a long period of time).

All good suggestions, not sure if developers will do anything about it....

As a healer, I HATE Titan. I so want to gear up my DPS so I do not have to heal people.


It has come to the point that I see of the group of 8 players, as 4 headless chickens, 1 "HEAL FASTER DARN IT" backup, 1 "keep on dying" tank and 1 "get the aggro off me ...." off tank.

Also why can't DPS JUST STICK together. My "lack of" reflects as a middle age man means I have less room for error, especially with graphics delay and lag. And special people that cannot stand properly are like trolls, hecking around with me.

Lastly, darn it Titan X is too chaotic. At last phrase, I need a sec to orientate myself especially with dps and tanks dropping like flys. Between, crazy screen full of graphic delayed stuff, looking at mana bar, looking at party heal bar, healing cooldown (have not found perfect group that only need 1 medica 2), weigh of land, landslide, bombs. It is pure crazy and just that one tiny mistake by me/anyone wipes that party.

As a younger man, I might have found tiny margin reflect game fun. But nowadays, not anymore.

And since after all the weekly lock outs, there is notthing else to do to get gear. Guess what I need to do for progression....

As I said before . Make it hard to get top tier items but not Titan X grind hard. Reserve such content for vanity items that is same a BiS but allow elites to show off.

That way all will be happy. The Elite Hardcore, the Casual Hardcore, the Casuals, etc.

i would recommend u to go in as the tank if u want the least amount of work. on another note. cure 3 is better for this fight than medica2. provided that your party knows how to stack properly

I am trying but the weekly lockout, aka inability to get gear more then once/twice a week, is making it slow to gear my tank up.

Healing Titan and Ultima HM are probably the most fun fights for a healer.

Ultima -> Fun, got alot to do but not insane impossible. Why can't tanks Stone Skins themselves.... But still fun.
Titan HM -> Why can't people dodge.... Ok never mind still can
Titan EX -> DARN YOU SE!!! WHY CANNOT PEOPLE DODGE WHY!!!! WHY TAKE DMG AGAIN!!! WHY!!! OMG YOU XXXX L2P L2P. MY GOD WTFreak ARE YOU DOING!!!! CURE 3 YOU !!!!! I EVEN MAKE NICE SOUND FOR YOU. WHY YOU RUN AWAY!!!! OMG WHY YOU DIE???? OK DODGING, WT! I WAS OUTSIDE LINE. DARN YOU SE. OK OK NOW SUPER BOMB.... WEIGH, RUN!!! OMG, TOO MANY WEIGH ALL SPREAD OUT. OMG I CLEAR.... NOOOOOOO DARN YOU SE. CRAP HEALING TOO MUCH. DPS PLEASE DO NOT TAKE DAMAGE, NO MORE MANA. WT... NOOOOOOOOOOOO,

REPEAT x 100plus times, and you tell me if it is fun.

Thus Titan EX is NOT FUN at all.

Thus Titan EX is NOT FUN at all.

Yeah fights are horrible if you play with players that fail over and over. Only fun when everyone knows how to play.

it's fun and I enjoy tanking it, it feels good when you have a run that everyone knows what they're doing and does it perfectly.

it's also fun when i wipe constantly, because that gives me reason to continue playing and helping others through.

Yea I want to level my tank or dps or anything but healer so I have less stress

As for you. If you want MORE FUN. Go play as WHM. That will put the FUN in you.
