Enough

I think you might be confusing Titan being hard, with all earlier content being super easy. If you learn to move out of landslide (super easy even before the position update changes) and weight of the land, and the healers know how to heal, you've won.

Here, here, everyone! Logic speaks!

The content leveling up is extraordinarily easy. Titan is the first "real" challenge. It doesn't allow you to hold others' hands and carry them through it. You're being held accountable for your own situational awareness.

If you cannot abide by this, then this is the wrong game for you! It's not some brand-new, earth-shattering (see what I did there) concept! Titan-like fights are in every game. Some games challenge you early on, others in the middle, and oftentimes at end-game.

Put your big-girl/boy pants on and learn to play the game. Stand up and try again - and heaven forbid - learn from your mistakes!

There is no need to beat it immediately, the updates are months in between, so take your time and practice a bit... Unless they are all running on dial up(and if they are they shouldn't be playing MMOs), I doubt your FC's members have such a bad connection that they cannot dodge Titan at all... People give up far too easy, it's not even that the content is really hard, it just requires a little practice and effort, and if you don't like it then maybe you should just leave.

Oh dear SE~

please make this game's difficulty into supereasy mode for these people so they can beat all the content in an instant, and they can leave the game in less than a month because of boredom

weight of the land doesn't show up on my screen until he's halfway through the cast. it's impossible to avoid unless I'm already moving. fortunately it's not fatal and it got to the point where I wouldn't bother moving and queue up a heal on myself.

this game is way to easy in my book i have only used a guide on 2 fights and after dieing once i can pretty much figure out the pattern and then it just depends on if the other adds in my party figure out what to do.. I'd like some randomized bosses so i feel like i'm struggling after 5-15 attempts. i feel like to challanage urself in this game you have to lag because if your net is perfect almost every fight is easy.

You're the reason games suck so much now. You're seriously getting mad because they made the content challenging? This is seriously the most pathetic post in the history of gaming.

This thank you someone said it!

I would like to point out to the OP (although it has probably been pointed out by others too) that 'selling runs' is nothing new in MMOs. Plenty of 'guilds' have been doing it since long before FFXIV existed. I don't agree with it, but I wanted you to know that it is not something unique to this game.

I will agree that this game requires a better connection than any other MMO I have ever played. I am on the East Coast, less than a daylight's drive away from the Montreal datacenter... and yet I still could not beat Titan without getting hit by plumes and landslides. I experienced the same "BUT I KNOW I WAS OUT OF THAT" frustration that many other players felt. So, I had to contact my ISP and upgrade to the next 'package'. I live in a suburban area, so this 'better connection' is available to me for a slightly higher fee... but it is not always available to others who live in a more rural area. After upgrading, I no longer get hit by anything. I dodge like a pro. But, others must suffer with the slower connection because literally nothing else is available to them.

I have played plenty of other MMOs during endgame content where you have to dodge stuff within a certain amount of time or you die. I've never felt the need to upgrade my ISP package because the 'average' connection was always enough (I use cable). The only times I had some trouble dodging was when I was sharing a SLOW network with a lot of people in college, and I was still able to do it by using the equivalent of 'dash' in this game (going cheetah form as a druid in wow, lol).

There is something VERY weird about latency in this game. Why are people feeling the need to use programs like pingzapper and wtfast to be able to clear the latest content? And I'm not even talking about being *perfect*... I'm talking about being *passable* and never getting hit by landslides. Why are there random lag spikes in instances that *EVERY PLAYER* in the instance feels? The servers themselves are very unstable, and it is extremely frustrating when trying to run the newest content that SOMEONE is always experiencing server-side connection issues. I can't tell you how many people get 90ked in Titan hard/extreme, or how many people *swear* they were out of something and they still got hit (I believe them because I play with these people all the time -- I know they are good players).

I dodge almost everything because my connection is good... but I agree with the OP. There is something wrong and I really hope they fix these latency issues... somehow. Merely updating how often the server 'checks' your position has clearly not been enough. That said... I do NOT think the content is too hard. I find it challenging, but fun. However... the difficulty doesn't matter when people are lagging. Fix the lag and we'll all be happy.

Beat Titan HM within a day, what is your excuse? Complaining that HARD MODE is hard is very stupid.
