Why can't people dodge?

PS3 Limitations.

PS3 would only affect the frame rate and graphic quality. Neither are huge biggies. Latency and lag are problems that all versions of the game share, and can't really be fobbed off on the console version, especially considering that the quality of the game can dip far lower on budget PC's.

The first time I did Titan as a WHM I could not dodge a thing I lagged so much. Having to watch other people HP bars did not help in the least too... When I did it as a BRD it was so much easier since there was almost no lag and I only had to take care of myself.

I was doing Titan extreme yesterday and I was getting hit by landside all the time I was so embarrassed with the party group then I noticed that my mom was watching some videos -_-

So much this -.- and you find yourself yelling at them: WTF are you downloading!?

Honestly,

SE should remove any fight that's this notorious from the progression ladder so that it's not so stressful.

Titan EX really should be switched with Ifrit EX if they insist on it being a gateway.

I constantly get excuses about Lag all the time and if the network is truly this bad, it's really just not fair to have this fight bar you from additional content in any way.

I personally experience no issue fighting titan, I am never hit but I constantly get in parties that can't make it passed Phase 1 using Party Finder.

They are already removing it. 2.3 will no longer have this as a requirement for Leviathan and Yoshi said yesterday in E3 that we can safely throw away our Rowena tokens because they have no immediate plans for them.

No one in their right mind is going to waste any effort into finishing this fight ever again. The earrings are pointless, it's just i90 junk which you can just buy with myths or get in Coil with less trouble and the i90 weapons you get for the completing the triad are a waste of time if you can just hop into Leviathan and get your shiny i95. Any new player will get their Relic first, any old player will simply farm leviathan or do the Relic quest again.

RIP Titan Extreme.

On another note about the lagging people:

If you lag on Titan, you lag everywhere. You may not notice it well because in most of the game you can get carried through (your healer will heal through the AoE you ate) or the dodge checks are simply not demanding.

Anyone that is lagging to the point where you can honestly say you were outside and you still got hit needs to stop asking SE for easier content and instead take a good look at what is actually causing the problem. Wireless, Naggle being turned on, someone else in the household streaming or otherwise, etc.

Oh sure, people who have never had issues on other games, EVER, just have crappy connections and it's totally their fault or someone streaming.

It's not. This is a widespread, systematic complaint of "lag", and it's being used to redirect responsibility to the user instead of where it belongs: on SE. If I hadn't been here to see the travesty that was 1.0, I would probably have the same attitude you do. But I saw it. They still have some disconnect between what belongs on "server" and what belongs on "client" and how best to marry the two.

When I have the same issues on my work FIOS over the weekend that I have at home with my 15meg over cable connection at home - neither of which I'm wirelessly connecting through - the issue isn't just user needs to stop watching netflix.

I'm not asking for easier content. I'm actually asking for HARDER content, but harder in a way that makes sense. More light spots on the floor to run out of just for the sake of artificially inflating difficulty in the form of cast interrupts is a terrible way to build an encounter. Give me an Akylios style fight over this "run run run!" any day. Fewer things that depend on the stars aligning between my computer and their server, and more that challenges our ability to figure out and manage a boss and his or her adds as a TEAM.

You either have a problem with the route to the server or with your network configuration on both places you claim to have problems with.
It cannot be a matter of server / client architecture when it works fine for (probably) most people, including people on poor connections with very low SNR like mine (a very bad DSL connection, really far from the station).

Have you tried services like WTFast or Battleping? If that solves your problem, then the problem clearly lies on the route and, if you are very lucky, your ISP may be able to help with that. If that doesn't solve it, you should check on your network settings for clues on what could be causing this anomaly.

I'm not going to say their server/client architecture is flawless, but it's quite obvious that it works. The discrepancy you and others claim to have cannot be attributed simply to that or the problem would be more widespread than it is right now.

Seriously, check your Naggle. Its the least thing you can do.

Lately at least 80% of the times is lag. Yesterday my FC mates kept on being hit by LandSlides which are ridiculously easy to dodge.
I'm having lots of problems as well. People see me standing on eruptions on Ifrit Ex while I'm actually running like the other party members.
I don't know how to solve this problem since it was working fine until last week (Me and my bf tried also to play on a Ps4 and on a Ps3 in the same house with no or minor latency issues).

I've been using Leatrix for quite sometime now, and it has worked brilliantly until the last patch which created this awful lag.
