A new difficulty level: after Extreme... it is Unreal!

[Pepsi_Plunge]

It's not a new difficulty, it's just a remake of older trials. Hence the name: it's not the 'real' fight.

[Nestama]

Since it's just level 80 Shiva Extreme, it's safe to say this Trial will be easier than all of the ShB Trials. Only thing that really trips people up in this fight is Glass Dance and Avalanche... and the tank swap, I guess.

Didn't they say there would be a few new surprises as well to trip up players?

[Aldora]

During the previous Live Letter, they basically said that these trials would be below Savage level:

Unreal Trials and Faux Hallows

In Unreal Trials, not only are primals scaled up to level 80, but they are also re-balanced accordingly. If we were to keep introducing new Unreal Trials, we’d have to spend a tremendous amount of cost to re-balance every trial all over again when the level cap is increased in the future. As such, our solution was to change the featured primal with each patch.

Some members of the development team felt that Titan deserved to be the first Unreal Trial, but Titan’s difficulty on release was around that of current Savage fights, which we felt was too difficult for the first Unreal Trial. Instead we decided on Shiva, as she had recently made a sort of appearance in Eden’s Verse.

Titan Hard was Savage level at launch?

Maybe I'm better at the game than I thought. I never found it to be too difficult back then. I mean there were wipes and stuff sure, but I never struggled with it personally.

Titanextreme upon release with the 300 EU ping was akin to savage difficulty. Titan hard, was not as you say

Yeah, Titan Hard wasn't anywhere near that bad in terms of difficulty. It was just a big step up from what a lot of people were used to at the time.

I.... wasn't the one saying it was Savage, someone else said Hard and Extreme were Savage level on release. I was asking because someone said it and I couldn't believe it.

I had a terrible delay on my PS3 and never survived Titan hm... When I got my PS4 I suddenly was much better in dodging AoEs o.ô;

I guess other PS3 players had the same problem at the time.

Playing this game on the PS3 was god awful. That is what I started with.

The only problem ps3 had was long load times, eu did not have servers and that caused the lag but you could still clear titan as long as you memorized his rotation and evaded before the aoes appeared.
