For the love of God, fix the Latency issues with The Navel (Extreme)

Please, for the love of god, fix the Latency issues with Navel (Extreme). I'm a PS3 user and I've spoken with many other PS3 users with the same issue. Being clearly out of landslide and weight of the land and still getting hit by it...

Some say to memorize the moves and preemptively move but with that, you can screw the other people by moving too soon. Others say that the complaints of latency are a myth and it's pure skill... To those people I say, congratulations, your system is a good one.

While I do agree 100% that sometimes SE servers lags, or your ISP will have a bad day, these two reasons are not permanent and they are not the ones stopping you from absolutely demolishing Titan. Few days ago I had a 16 year old kid in Darklight gear (few myth) playing on PS3 OT Titan EM, he did such a wonderful job and absolutely deserved his first kill.

Keep at it, practice, be patient and you will have him on farm.

I'm by no mean saying SE can't improve their netcode or server structure any more, all I'm saying is don't let it stand in your way and be your forever excuse.

Today I ran early to place a plume away from titan so I could continue attacking... the plume popped where I was standing... I was already out of it when it came up. And this is from someone that basically never gets hit with plumes.

This is not the only fight that requires careful positioning. 2 examples are: Ultima's Bane, which I've farmed successfully many times as Brd and Pld, and Crystal Tower, successfully completed as both tank and dps, still no problems with lag on Aoe hits...

I've noticed, the Weight of the Land is a very detailed watery effect of sand. That and multiplying it by 5, then stacking it on itself creating a sudden burst of animation that happens before the character must move, as opposed to all other aoe hits which are usually a red circle (or design) letting you know where the animation will appear. Point is, I've turned down all my animation settings, filters and other techniques designed to improve performance but that sudden burst of animation, in my opinion, is what's causing the latency issues.

Couldn't the game designers give an option of filtering that particular animation, being the watery sand effect, and replacing it with the classic red circle showing it's placement?
