Suggestions for Titan Unreal

[ItMe]

Titan Unreal is only hard if your internet sucks too much to get out of landslides.

I mean, that's a little reductionist.
I've had to tape his rotation onto my computer to try and keep up with all his lightning fast tankbusters.
This dude's got tricks. Especially for people that just got into EX with this expansion (like me) Titan's def posing a problem

I havent tried yet as im gonna get my 99-119 Emerald runs, but tbh id rather carry someone by resses then never clear stuff or wipe all the time... Today alone i prevented 3 wipes by ressing both healers >_>

I cleared Shiva Unreal pretty much first day and was clearing it consistently every week. I've been more busy this patch cycle but I've put at least 10 hours into Titan Unreal and still don't have my clear. I understand the frustration.

The problem is that this isn’t casual content but it’s marketed as such with the whole faux hollows thing.

I feel like the incentive to actually complete the Unreal fights needs to be more weighty, if possible. My static doesn't want to do Unreal because they view it as a waste of time, and energy, but maybe if players earned more Faux Leafs for completing content (or if there was like a streak bonus) then the rewards would be worth the effort.

Thanks everyone for your comments. It was pretty much what I expected. I don't want to seem like a whiner, it's just the struggle is real in PF. I myself did clear Shiva after some weeks and was clearing it consistently. Titan has just been a bugger in PF. I pretty much expected everyone to say "git gud" and that's what I got. I guess I was just venting some frustration. This is unlikely to change so I'll just keep trying.

The fight is designed to not allow for a lot of error, so the PF struggles are to be expected. Getting punted off is only one of several reasons that players will force a reset, so an option to rezz those players really isn't going to help that much towards clears. I also think it's important that these unreal trials remain unchanged from the earlier EX encounters as far as the mechanics go.

I no longer have a static so I've had the same struggles in PF. I have been wanting to do this fight for some time, and would have been disappointed if groups were not struggling as much as they do. I derp in there too, and I certainly don't mind an occasional humbling that let's me know I can do better. Sitting on the bottom while the others continue to try and tackle the rockman definitely does that.

I agree. We should remove raising from other trials as well. For the sake of consistency

I think Sophia might have been the first trial that dropped your dead body back on the platform so you could get raised (Bismarck and Ravana still throw you of for good, if memory serves right) - and I was so, so disapointed by that. I still am. I had my fair share of falling of platforms, but I still hold the believe that taking you out of the fight for good if you fail those mechanics was better design than it just being an instant kill. It made those mechanics much more your job than the healers.

100% yes
SQEX make it happen

TLDR: Titan Unreal is hard to clear in PF. Please allow us to either toggle an option to allow rezzing if you fall off for a lesser reward or just have our bodies pop up on the platform after you die like the vast majority of other fights in the game.

I mean to be honest this has been a punishment for not following the mechanics since ARR and Titan EX was always fun and considered pretty hard at the time due to the shoddy netcode back then. Its still is easy with PF if people would take a moment, run Titan EX synced to get the basics down. Everyone is so used to be carried or doing these fights unsynced that they don't know they mechanics and they immediately call to nerf mechanics like they did with Shiva Unreal. If you are having a hard time with PF, maybe form a static and practice or work with your FC to arrange a time for them to help you out. Personally I think its easier to run with people that know the fight and all that jazz but it can be done in PF though.

Wait till they release Ifrit Unreal. There will be tears as well with the nails and chains.

Titan is definitely the more difficult fight, I haven’t been getting my cleats until late week, whereas shiva was done on reset day.

They just upped the amount of leaves for the pictures and added more rewards, the streak bonus is the play 50 times achievement that rewards the title.

Thought I would post for the one person who might care, but I got my clear today. I'm a RDM/SMN main, but I decided to go in on DNC just for giggles and it was easier having instacast to help, but I want to do it on RDM or SMN in the coming weeks. PF is still a bugger, but I suppose, at least for me, perseverance won the day. Thanks for the interesting ideas and debate everyone, it made for some food for thought. Happy New Year!

Just have everyone prioritize landslide. So at least if they die it won’t be run-ending. There’s the gaols too, but as long as the team is on the same page, people might die but won’t get blasted off the platform.. as much. I tank this fight though so I dunno how it is for the other classes.
