I've arranged PF groups for players who couldn't beat Titan EX due to lag where 7 other players joined KNOWING it was a carry and being OKAY with that. It's going to be hard enough to find 7 other players in DF who can clear Titan even if you don't have these types of problems but the players have to be even better than that if they have to compensate immediately for being down a player. It's really better to have a creator mentality ("What can I do to help this situation?") than a victim one ("OMG this lag, it's unfair, I'm never going to win!")
I went crazy trying to fix my problem. What I could not stomach was knowing the fight inside out, know it was coming, moving the moment the graphic appeared, being well out the zone and dying. I watched videos, searched the internet. Improved my gear to nearly I120. Now I am failing because people quit, don't know anything or show up up with minimal gear. It is frustrating.
