    Titan - EX (PS3)

    Hey guys, just wanted to poll fellow PS3 users out there regarding this. Only attempted this a couple times, but I seem to be getting consistent lag spikes in this fight that are making it virtually impossible to dodge even with knowing his rotations. Not trying to whine or QQ at all, I'm just curious to see if most other PS3 players are legitimately experiencing this problem, because I experience minimal lag spikes comparatively with Garuda EX.

    I'm upgrading with my ISP from a 15 Mbps to 50 Mbps max speed to see if this resolves it, otherwise I can't think of anything else other than PS3 users just getting the shaft and we'll have to wait til beta. Thanks for any input!

    I have similar issues. Sometimes it behaves well, and sometimes it leaves a lot to be desired.
    To compensate for this, I usually run farther than necessary when I'm running out of circles, cones, etc.

    I've never done Titan EX or anything EX yet, but most everything else.

    I use a PS3 and I can honestly say any mistakes made are simply user error. I hate when players make the excuse "well I'm on a ps3". And I know you weren't complaining about that I just wanted to state my opinion on the matter.

    Regarding your question, I feel ps3 adds no additional stress to the fight, and if you're constantly being hit by things it might boil down to your internet provider itself, or learn and practice to dodge better. Unfortunately for ps3 users we cannot participate in programs such as ping zappers that typically help out PC users. But since the release of 2.1 and the correction of character mapping, I can say it is much easier to dodge plumes than ever before.

    I'm on pc and have this issue. It seems to be server side latency problems for most of us. Certain classes will have more trouble due to mechanics. I know the fight through bombs, but still die outside of aoe more than most players I raid with because of latency.

    Europe PS3 user here - actually feels no different than hardmode Titan for me, I can consistently dodge landslides and plumes, if I get hit it's usually my own fault because I reacted too late.

    Got to the first set of Gaolers today, still working on it

    My lag is so bad I can't finish Garuda Ex with out issue. So I'm putting the game down till I don't know when. I can understand lag and low frame rate on the PS3 but this is not fun any more.

    I understand that this is the response most people are going to have who don't experience this. I'm not talking about like a quick half second oh crap I was slow/inevitably a bad player, im talking about lag SPIKES where I know a plume/landslide/bomb whatever it may be is next is coming and I will lag to the point where I wont even see Titan do said move all players teleport quickly wherever and pay the repercussions. There's a difference between steady lag and spikes, and I'm getting the spike variety.

    I only ever lag during upheaval but I always have enough time to move out the way of landslides. What happens to me is there will be a 2-3 second delay during the knock back sometimes but I always have enough time to dodge the slides.

    Since I upgraded my PS3 with SSD I've getting less lag spikes, but unfortunately at least during one run everyday I face lag spikes. Most memorable was from Garuda SM in which she was completely gone for a good minute, and Utima SM in which everything kept on freezing in place ><
