Titan Extreme latency is too much

Yay another person using the forums to vent about issues that everyone who has done the fight already know exist. Rather than make a new thread why not do a quick search and rant in any of the 100 other thread about the exact same issue.

Or, you know make another thread to help show SE the severity of the issue and how it's preventing people from doing content purely based on stuff on their end. Especially since other threads seem to be sinking into oblivion.

I hate this kind of bullshit. People have been saying this for years, yet when people actually listen to what you're saying and post on other threads, they get bitched at for necroing by the same types of people. Bunch of bitches. xD Guy makes new thread, you say "Stop making new threads!" yet someone posts in old thread, you say "Make new thread, stop necroing bitch!".

That aside, there isn't much you can do. A lot of people with this issue swear by VPN's, but I'm not sure if VPN's even work on PS3. Not to mention they aren't working for everyone.

So it is PS3 problem or internet problem ?

It might be a PS3 problem. My static does Titan EX several times a week with success, and we all play PC, but almost all of us have graphics cards that otherwise play the game fine but struggle on certain effects. Seven stacked WOTLs are a bit much on weaker GPUs, so my group turns down there settings just for this fight. That is something PS3 users cannot do, and I feel for you.

PS3 running a stock harddrive may have problems loading in the custom AoE indicators (Primals/Acheron) at times due to its limited ram requiring it to stream them in on the fly off a slow drive. It can result in a delay of the AoE showing on time, causing possible death.

There's also the network latency issue is prevalent across both platforms depending on location/ISP though, so the most PS3 users can do is keep Titan on focus target and watch for his cast bar, since that's a more reliable indicator of when something is happening/about to go off, than the AoE on the ground that may have been a split-second late appearing.

If people didn't need to stack for weight of the land due to the tiny platform post-heart with Titan-Egi pits hogging precious space, it'd be a much more manageable fight with unfavorable connection conditions.

I don't think i've ever been hit by an attack i wasn't actually hit by. At least not with Titan.

it's unfortunate how some people have this issue, but seriously, if you're having latency issues this bad, if it wasn't one thing it'd just be another.


And uh, im on PS3. I've never been AoE'd by something i couldn't see.

[sheepysheepy]

explain to your party upfront and they might atleast let you sit at the back of the stack and dodge south instead of west, so if youre not the wotl target youll start off already halfway out of plumes and you can safely pre-dodge without killing people

I have latency issues with this fight as well, I play on a crappy laptop. To avoid the plumes I just start moving 1 second before they actually appear and it works pretty well.
