Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

[Bunsen]

There is a thread about verizon fios users having insane rubberbanding/lag spikes after 2.1 and someone proved it was an ISP issue with some net testing that is beyond my own understanding or skill set.

This pretty much sums it up ;/

I have Verizon FiOS.... dammit... I'm guessing fix for 2.15 at the end of this month? Do you have link to thread by chance? Thanks!

I've been trying to clear Titan Ex for like 2 weeks now! And honestly, people just suck. I have found players with no lag problems and still dying. I have come to the point where I could take on titan myself if I didn't have to rely on 7 other people. I have joined groups where players are supposed to be pros and still failed. Cause there's always that ONE player who joins a good party to get carried, and throws off the whole battle. Idk what I can do to get a decent party on Titan ... Why are people so bad with this fight?

Same. It's really frustrating. I was in a group last night where the bard had a Leviathan bow and still kept dying over and over.

Umm. .. . . this topic didn't really need reviving. Get in Party Finder: Make a Party stating that failures will result in kicking and get yourself through it.

I know, must of us get annoyed by "elitist" attitude, but to be honest - anyone would be getting frustrated by that time. Just keep succeeding yourself and you will pass this when fate grants you the group you need.

The topic needed reviving if people are still having issues with it. Sorry, but who are you to tell others what topics do and do not need discussion?

[Bloodclaw]

Butthurt anyone?

[NorthernLadMSP]

Gee, it's funny to see how many people respond to topics they don't like or have no interest in discussing. Some people have way too much time on their hands.

Only one shot Mechanic that titan has is GAOL and Earthen Fury if heart isn't destroyed. these have nothing to do with dodging but meeting the DPS requirement.
At full health none of the below can't one shot you.
1 Plume does about 2.5 to 3k damage. If you have trouble dodging this just don't stack with everyone. Stay as far away as you can. Medica one and two has great range and should be able to heal you anywhere on the MAP.
Thumult does about 800 damage for each stomp.
Landslide does about 1.7k damage, if for some reason you have trouble dodging this stay on titan's ass so it doesn't knock you off.
Samething with upheaval.
1 Bomb does anywhere from 3.2 to 3.5 damage
Geo Crush does massive damage

I personally think Titan is the funnest fight because of all the chaos. I even join progression groups because I enjoy it a lot.

Eventually, if you manage to get a 'titan em static' if you don't take echo into account which might unphase it, you can learn the mechanics, and beat him.

He's the one I have the less trouble with, Garuda being my pet peeve. But sticking to Titan, very fun fights, love to see people flying out, I even give them ratings for the most beautiful ones ^^

I love it that at this part of the endgame, it's not easy.

A game that is easy to clear, people will say: been there, done that, next MMO please.

Keep up at it, like Coil runs: you'll get them.
