I have literally been standing between two landslides waiting for the animation to disappear when I got knocked off. Lag does happen. The "this only happens during titan" crap needs to stop too. You're just assuming people are full of it completely unfairly.
I play on a 5 year old computer and a DSL connection that is far from the ideal SNR, across the Atlantic sea.

Do people "lag"? Yes, of course. Some people probably have a latency of over half a second. No online game with any kind of action should be oriented to cater these connections because they do not represent the norm. FFXIV already dumbed down its content enough to cater to higher latencies due to their decision of having only two data center locations.

Every single Titan Ex PF I've done has at least one person claiming they lag to the point where they cannot even dodge the most simple mechanics that don't even require a low latency line to dodge. You don't freaking need 50ms latency to dodge a landslide because:


1. You know exactly when it's coming. Exactly when it's coming
2. You know exactly where it's going to be. People stack behind Titan's ass, so the dodge patter is always the same.


Same applies to pools:

1. You know the exact moment they are going to happen
2. You can see the danger zones beforehand because you can observe the exact positions of the rest of your party members and know where the shortest route to safety goes through.


Excluding the people that actually have technical problems with their connection, what "I'm lagging" tells me is that the player cannot adapt or, what's worse, is not willing to adapt.

Titan Ex is not hard.
