Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

[Hitome]

Most groups I have df'ed with have trouble surviving to the heart phase and even when they make it they can't burn it down. Once in awhile we get to phase 5 and like half the party or more dies right off the bat. I can keep the tank alive till Titan rocks me though. Maybe it's different now than back then but I doubt it. Player finder is a bit different because you can set your own criteria and often players are doing it for other jobs that need relics. Not truly a group of randoms from my experience.

It is much different after the patch as far as DF goes. Having the DPS with the minimum gear assures the heart will go down (almost). Can always pop into cleric to push it over. I don't think many groups I've been in post patch have had to use the LB to down it.

Before the patch, I had maybe 4~5 DF wins in 110+ so there was definitely something wrong. Post patch, I seem to win 7 in 10 I'd say? Maybe a little lower. Haven't failed with a PF group yet, at least. Maybe a few wipes before everyone knows what's going on or I find another DPS that is helping out to break me out of gaols.

As far as the rest of you are concerned...I feel the need to keep repeating this until you understand the word:

extreme
[ik-streem]
adjective, ex·trem·er, ex·trem·est.
1.of a character or kind farthest removed from the ordinary or average: extreme measures.
2.utmost or exceedingly great in degree: extreme difficulty.
3.farthest from the center or middle; outermost; endmost: the extreme limits of a town.
4.farthest, utmost, or very far in any direction: an object at the extreme point of vision.
5.exceeding the bounds of moderation: extreme fashions.

That's exactly what the word implies.

Most of you will never complete it. And you know what? That's fine. It isn't meant to be fun. It isn't meant to be a walk in the park where you are handed a free relic+1 at the end. It's optional content. It's content, much like Twintania, where you throw yourself at it for hours until you eventually get it right: gaining immense satisfaction after downing something that can be frustrating/that you've spent many real life hours on and possibly rewarding you with some loot.

Don't like memorizing patterns? Can't deal with the lag that many others deal with? Can't handle the fact that you must bring your best or you will fail? Titan is not for you.

If 14 consisted of only these types of fights, then you might have a reason to whine. However, you can do many other things in this game without having to bash your head against Titan's wall for hours. There is much more content that is 'friendly' than there are extreme fights like Titan Ex and Twintania. Go find that content and enjoy the game.
