Enough

[Cherie]

I guess I would just point out that, say SE listens and nerfs Titan HM, well, he is merely one roadblock on the highway. Once he is dead, Coil is unlocked. Then what?

Say you even clear the first 4 turns, then it's turn 5, then what? There is always going to be a big bad to work on. And if you do manage to clear T1-5 and the EX primals, then it's just gear farm time for maybe a few hours each week...

Those that aren't complaining that the content is too hard are complaining that there isn't enough to do.

Curious as to where you got the numbers to back up "5% of the player base is hardcore."

because yoshi wants to convince us only 5% of the player base is on endgame stuff.

The lodestone hides peoples achievements by default and most people do not make their achievements viewable so its almost impossible to see how much of the playerbase has progressed on content.

Titan may be hard for some but it's far from impossible. Also, with Party Finder, it makes it much easier to find groups to clear it with, or to fill a few spots for FC runs.

And to be honest, if all content was extremely easy that every one and their dog could beat it upside down and blind folded, I wouldn't be interested in this game.

Besides, with every update it's likely SE will make the older content easier. So all the people who have trouble with x content can clear it to see the story.

it's pretty obvious SE is using some kind of weird system. in any other mmo I can macro instant abilities together. not this one.

I did Titan before getting a static. I'm not the best but after doing it repeatedly I wouldn't get hit by anything.
Titan is all about memorization and muscle memory. Not the best design, but I don't mind it once in a while.

My connection isn't very reliable either. When it's good, you can dance in the plumes for a while before running out.
When it's not, a millisecond more reaction time would mean getting hit. Still, you can compensate for that, it's just a pain.

I'm not going to applaud Titan's fight design. I think dodging the floor and linear one shot mechanics are cheap.
That's not to say I don't enjoy the fight. I do it for fun all the time. I join people in PF just to help them out.
If all the fights are like that, I wouldn't like it. Thankfully they're not. People just make a big deal of it cause they get stuck there.

However, there's a lot to be said for the sense of accomplishments walls like Titan bring to end-game.
It could be better done as a fight, but the function is the same.
Like I said, I did Titan before being in a static and it was tough. When I got it down, it felt great. I felt a sense of accomplishment.
When helping people do it, they're always so ecstatic if it's their first kill. It's even moreso if they use VOIP.
I think that's a great part of playing an MMO, and honestly not many fights give that sense.

So I think Titan is pretty has a pretty good place.

You don't really need to buy Titan runs to win anyway. First time doing Titan HM got me landslided on the first minutes, watch the base floor until the fight concludes. Manages to win and get the loot anyway. I did the run with DF. Yes, I'm a bad player and lucky one at that

[Skotie]

Why do people like you even play video games?

this thread is horrid. the game is already too easy as it is.

if a group can afford to win with 6 or 7 and charge others for the runs because they can't do it with 8 then the problem is in the skill level of those 8 that couldn't beat it. it's 8 man content that's possible to win with 6 people.
