"I Was Out of That!" (Some Life Lessons)

[Purrfectstorm]

Wish I could afford a fancy pc to play this game because playing it on ps3 sucks and it seems to be getting worst. Any times I can move and be clearly out of the way and still get hit, not just in titan. Or I can cast cure and it does not cast in time. I use to be able to dps in the dungeons but now I can't because I'm too afraid my casting will be off. Can't wait until I can get my ps4 because ps3 players have it rough.

I played most of the last year on PS3 and just recently switched to PS4. I never had a problem getting out of stuff and so not much has changed. The biggest thing I notice between PS4 and PS3 is that Brangwine actually loads right off for me (as does every other NPC that typically has a ton of players standing around it). I also zone quicker and enter and exit duties faster. I can finally see hunt mobs and play 72 person Frontlines Slaughter. Aside from faster loading, I haven't noticed much change. PS4 is certainly better than PS3 but your problem getting out of stuff might be caused by something else (I'm no expert on this).

Edit: Oops didn't realize you said PC instead of PS4. That might make more of a difference, I don't know.

The dice represent the people you get in DF.
All there needs to be said.

Cool people with GIFs. Gotta love them LOL
This would be relevant if I had been complaining about the people I got in DF. I wasn't. DF inspired some thoughts I figured I'd share but beyond that "DF Titan" is the absolute least important detail of my OP.

People don't have good reading comprehension on here many times Purrfect, or at least don't bother reading/responding to a full post. You should know that by now!

OP, we told you that using DF Titan Ex was a bad example. You put something on the internet and people are going to make fun of it.

It's a terrible fight to be using as an example because Titan EX is well known for causing people legitimate issues. There's a good chance that someone saying "I was out of that" actually WAS out of that on their screen because of the way latency works in this fight.

Hey I just wanted to say I'm Fan of this thread. It's very entertaining watching everyone "feel" . thank you. Sorry for the interruption.

What, people read Titan Ex and lose their minds? Purrfect could have used T9 as an example as well and the same point would be still valid. This thread is 18 pages long and some people still fail at understanding the core issue.

It's not about the lag in a certain fight guys.

Lol how dare you excess reading comprehension on the ffxiv forums. We sir only read till we find something we disagree with and argue to the end. Reguardless if by reading the entire post it would all make sense and be clear.

And what do you mean it's not about lag. I personally read her say lag. I throw my glove at you. Because this is very serious.

Fite me.

Most people don't disagree with the OP's. I don't disagree with the OP's, point. The fact remains is 1) the OP hasn't said ANYTHING that wasn't said before, 2) the OP made her point poorly, and 3) OP is apparently new/inexperienced to internet posting (although I could be completely wrong about that last one). The argument is supposed to be how players shouldn't leech off of others and actually try to PLAY the game instead of having other people play for them. The problem is that attitudes in MMO being the way they are, FF in particular is that fostering a positive attitude to help reinforce good player habits is a lot harder to do and since people generally demand immediate gratification and flock to the path of least resistance, it's kind of a hard thing to do. The OP pretty much knew, at least on a subconscious level, that people were going to jump on the bandwagon and say "me too, people are scrubs" regardless of how she made said point. If she were to say, defend the laggers/noobs/scrubs, etc. people would still bandwagon for her. None of that is the OP's fault, because its better to be well respected than be popular.

Funny, but the title sure does imply that it is.
