Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

[Mags]

The problem I see in content is over reliance on others. When we have that, great drama ensures and believe or not, slowly tears the community apart.

This is the nature of the beast, and there is no other way to do difficulty.

I meant rely as in the way Rochetm explained it. In FFXI pre abyssea you can always recover in fights if you have skilled enough players while in FFXIV doesn't matter how skilled you are if you can't burn the heart when someone falls.

And therein lies the challenge and difficulty. It is not a new concept in MMOs, nor will it pass anytime soon. Stuff on the ground, move out of the way. Its simple really, and you can somewhat predict it's pattern or at the very least know when it might occur. The difficulty isn't in the individual but the team as a whole to coordinate the pattern.

Same with needing enough DPS to burn a node before a wipe mechanic pops. Its simple gear check.

Did it yesterday, pretty intense and fun fight.

ya but maybe a bit unforgiving. network delay sometimes feels more like the old .3s. haven't had this many issues in any high level instance since the patch.

Really, I find it to be extremely fun. Titan HM was the best fight in the game, now Titan EM is.

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.

Every game has its masochists, and this one is no different.

I absolutely love Titan Extreme and it's mechanics and you can perfectly raise someone as long as s/he didn't fall and knows when to raise, especially with the new invulnerability raise gives you.

To those people saying FFXI was hard... really? that game didn't have a -single- fight that was remotely hard after the first day. AV was broken for years and the only way to kill it was by exploiting the terrain and PW only took stupidly long time to kill, like everything you did in XI.

extreme mode, extremely punishing mechanics, nothing wrong with that.

Sorry, but you haven't been playing Mario very long if that's what you think. Mario uses instant death all the time. Instant death pits, scrolling screens that can crush you against a wall/push you off a cliff, lava, falling ceilings/crushing walls, fish that can swallow you whole...it's a staple of every classic Mario game.

I was thinking more along the lines of enemies. You're right, there are many other things I forgot about.

Lol I saw a lot of times people using " poor development " when talking about the instakill mechanics and the only thing that I read was " let me equip to the teeth so I can do a face roll fight because I don't want to bother avoiding things " (excluding the high latency people, I know that this is annoying but I play with 300-400 of ping and I managed to avoid AoE almost always
