Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

[Avalon_Albrook]

I hate how most tough fights rely on everyone to be good. One guy falls in Titan and it's over, one guy dies, raise him, gets knocked out again. In FFXI you can sort of recover still but in this game recovering is almost impossible for most fights.

Just want to reply to this in my still-on-high excitement from our group taking down Titan EX tonight for the first time--

Our first kill happened after I, while tanking him and our OT still having one add left on him, died from a 3rd stack and a healer getting benediction off a split second too late. Titan still had about 20% health left. Not only did the OT keep the match going, but I was rezzed about 20 seconds later successfully, still got the next swap off with him, and proceeded to finish him off the rest of the way.

If someone dies, it IS recoverable. If the tank on Titan can die and the match can still be recovered and won, it IS recoverable.


PS -- I really, really love this fight! Might now be my favorite of the entire game, actually.

I'm sure it can but often than not it will result in a wipe. That's my point in general. Maybe it's different if you find 8 players that play too much and play together it will become easier to do but that's a whole lot of dedication. That's pretty rare to find in this game with the way it's currently designed where most things are solo friendly. I do enjoy the fights when I find very good players to play with but the problem is that you shouldn't need everyone to be at a high skill level in order to take tackle hard content. I prefer it the way most others mmo does it where the more skilled guy has a bigger effect on the fight to help the lower ones. It will result in a lot less run buying. I think Titan dfers will understand what I'm saying more because the chances of beating it with randoms is like .001 percent.

1) Titan Extreme. Extreme. Eeeeeeeeextreeeeeeeeeeeeme. I don't think that word means what you think it means

2) I did 4 random DF queues on Titan EX aside from the times I attempted it with either my Coil static or a group made from a LS. Each of those 4 DF queues saw us consistently advance to the last phase and progress to, on average, 30-40% of health, with one attempt putting us at less than 10%. I never ever ever EEEEEVER saw that kind of consistent success in a DF random group for Titan HM, even months later. Yet, it was happening with DF pugs less than 2 weeks into Titan EX being available.

3) Seriously, did you just say the sentence "You shouldn't need everyone to be at a high skill level in order to tackle hard content"? If it doesn't require a high skill level to complete, it's not hard content.

1) Next it will be IT'S HYPPERRR HYPPPER EX.

2) So did you beat it with those Dfers?

3) Yes I did, like most hard, extreme, hyper content in other mmos.
