Request to Dev's. Tune Titan HM.

[Empressia]

While i do get some lag i am hard wired in. Never ever should anyone go wireless.
As for reaction time i always thought it was me and some said on occasions i should learn how to dodge.
However having died one time after heart phase i would observe players movement for weight of land, and on my screen it clearly looked like the player was in while it went off and yet received zero damage when they moved out
so perhaps it is indeed server or PS3, who knows.

not sure what ur talking about but im using wireless and farming titan ex real smooth

One WoTL will never kill you, no matter what class you are. If you are dying constantly to WoTL, try changing your positioning some, if you know the rotation like countless people have said, and have super bad lag issues move to the very edge of the arena, and just eat 1 then use a potion, second wind, etc... Again, if your being killed by WotL, its not just because your getting hit by it, its because your getting hit by multiple of them. If your party asks you to stack, just tell them your issue and exactly what part of the map you will be at when WotL spawns, so they dont run into yours and it should never be a problem. If the problem is someone else always dying, take note of their name and don't party with them anymore. If lag issues are holding you back here, they will also hold you back in the rest of the end game content. Or, if your lag issues are that horrible, save your money and buy a run (if your FC wont just give up 30 min to do it for you) instead of wasting 7 other ppl's time that might be able to do it if it wasn't for your lag/death. I will say tho, the EXACT same people in my FC that got carried through titan, are the exact same people who goof up their jobs in coil, which aren't lag related so it's easy to see a correlation. A wall is needed to weed out those players and just paying someone to put a ladder there to help you climb over doesnt really help anyone in the end, unless your expecting to be carried through coil as well..... Have lag... Your gonna miss your High voltage silence... have lag... your not gonna be able to kite slimes or get out of poison in time... have lag... your never gonna be able to do enough dps in t4. Lag cannot just be in an issue in the titan battle, you either lag or you dont.

OP, u sure you are talking about HM? or EM?

I live in Australia and play on both NA and JP servers, and I have to say that the distance to the server makes dodging Titan's plumes like night and day. ON the JP server I can chill and just move out of the way when they pop under me, on the NA server I have to be in full flight predodge mode to avoid them. Plumes don't test your reaction time or ability, they test your distance to the server, and that's a little messed up if you ask me lol.

This isn't necessarily true. One of the post-heart WotLs are immediately preceded by Tumults, which can still easily leave you in bad enough shape to die to a single plume.

Healers can't necessarily top everyone off immediately after Tumults either, because they still have to run from plumes too.

What i am talking about is the servers effect players differently.
Not everyone has a smooth connection.

I like to add -plumes order is set but not location, memory doesn't help.

Titan plumes goes like this --

See plume
move, jump out of way
relief - you clear plume
plume goes off
your dead!!!

how's memorizing mechanics help this!!

1st relic 23 tries
2nd relic 24 tries
3rd relic - oh god - time to beta test Elder Scrolls!!

On a positive note they did fix latency issues some what - it's not as bad as it was - but it's still there.

Some tips for this fight.

Cast sprint and keep it up
After clearing plumes/ mountain buster cast something instant to register your new spot (mentioned earlier in this post)
Go as tank or brd - they have the easiest

fighting a mob for 30 minutes plus and then wiping is not fun - a game is supposed to be fun!!!

errr not really NA servers are located at eastern canada which is horribly lined up to the point that theres a horde of angry peeps playin from east coast US were complaining about the insane delay too

Well let me rephrase, Titan plumes are a test of your ping. The people on the US east coast that have this problem typically say they also have high pings. (In my own case I ping about 290ish to NA servers and 120ish to the JP ones). My point is still the same. People like stpetepiper who say a wall is needed to keep the baddies out are probably correct, however, instances where the difficulty is dependent on the server location don't really do this.

Last weekend I managed to get my 2nd relict as WHM. It took me 2 weeks of pugging through Group finder and numerous attempts. The hardest part was finding a group that makes it through the Heart phase and the rest was training because "Fun" starts in the last phase and that was the one I was lacking experience with. It is really kind of ridiculous because I made attempts to beat Titan each day of the week. On Mondays and Tuesdays, you can forget about it. Too many people capping myths and it's a lag feast. Forget weekends as well, too many people are playing.

So basically Wednesday and Thursdays are cool but this cannot be. It cannot be that I escape plumes on these two days but can't on the other days. It is feeling like an entire different Game if you experience lags. You behave like you normally do and boom you lie dead on the ground. The fight itself isn't that easy but to bear with the connection limits as an extra constraint? For a weappn everybody expects you to have if you want to try out Coil or Ex primals?

I just don't get SE's stand in this. New dungeons come out, people complain and boom, there is a nerf in the next patch where you ask yourself what the hard part was for people. But numerous threads about Titan and people constantly selling these runs in Mor Dhona because the vast majority can't get a win but this fight remains like it was since the beginning? It would be enough if plumes would provide you with an extra second of time to react. I can memorize things but I can't avoid invisible plumes. I look forward to my 3rd relic as a bard..I will just keep on moving and running all the time while loosing zero DPS. Dunno if I will try to get a 4th one after that or if I stick with Garuda/Moogle mog weapons in Future. Titan is just too time consumptive and it eats your brain out to find a group where it is even possible to beat him.
