Titan EX latency.

Cable if that is what you mean.

Yeah, it was. I see a lot of people complaining about this who often turn out to be playing on saturated wifi connections. Tell them to plug an rj45 cable in, and suddenly their problems go away.

Boils down to either a lot of jitter on your line between you and Square, then, or just plain or poor reaction time. As I've said before, I'm playing on the Canadian rack from Hong Kong, and if a middling thirty year old with arthritis can dodge landslide, I'm sure you can

Did you traceroute the server ip yet?

I think its just not fair that NA and JP players are allowed to play on easy mode.

If you know anything about US home internet connections at all, you wouldn't even think about making that statement. They're some of the worst in the world. Hell, most Europeans get a cleaner connection to North American that most Americans.

I'll give you a scenario of someone with higher latency making it through Titan EX. I have a member of my FC that lives in Scotland. Due to his sleep schedule and such, he's usually awake and online when we're all online, which is during NA prime time. It took him a few tries but he did clear titan ex, and a number of times after that as well. He just had to anticipate when the attacks were coming. It was funny listening to him on TS trying to dodge though lol

I have the same problem as OP, at times is my fault but most of the time it isnt, is just that stupid slight tiny lag, server lag really, and the only good run I had was when a player was using the sound to announce plumes, the sound was coming before I even saw the plumes on my own screen so during that fight I never died first ever, and was able to dodge the plumes simply because the warning came right on time aka when teh player using the sound was seeing it in his screen...that is for me the proof that effectively I do have a lag and no matter how much I try there isnt anything I can do about it..other then hope for the best. People can stay here the whole day saying it doesnt exist and yadayadayada and I understand them for those the only way to acknowledge that effectively some are sufering from those things is for them to one day be hit by that not only once but on a constant basis..

Sorry bro, but 1GBit/s is not even discussed in my country, and im not living in some poor country.

so i find this really hard to believe, also google didnt confirm your words at all.

How many Americans do you think have access to 1Gb/s lines, lol? o_0

I'm been in competitive gaming since Quake test in '96. Trust me, after years of trying to arrange fair server match ups, most Americans don't have a good home connection. Cable providers in the US are over-subscribed, use out of date hardware with high failure rates, and prioritize the wrong kinds of traffic for internet gaming performance to be reliable. The existence so 'broadband' at all is debatable in many cities, as max available speeds are regularly below a 1mb/s, let alone 1gb/s.

Yes average EU connection exceeds average NA connection (Speaking for Germany). Played Titan EX here in Germany from a 1 Mbit ADSL connection without any problems. However, nobody else on the network may use the connection during that time (like watching youtube or downloading stuff). So for German players I'd say, they have brainlag or shitty desktops because we're all routed over the same 2 mega hops (Frankfurt or Netherlands).

As mentioned earlier the 1st time he tried to jump out of the plumes and it hits him at the end of the jump. The 2nd time he first rotates the camera and then starts moving which adds extra latency. You have to start moving immediately if you already have lag problems, so he might want to switch camera settings to legacy, so you can actually run to the back.
He could also try to play with a controller, since moving around is a lot easier with it, you have to get used to the cross hotbar layout though. Fast movement with a keyboard takes a lot of practice, so he may be better off with a controller.
