Recent lag is making Titan unkillable

[Yenn]

This is sort of ridiculous. We have the encounter down perfectly and can kill it sometimes, but we're randomly wiped by what seems like server lag. This seems to be a fairly new problem.

We can dodge every Weight of the Land until he's at 20% health, and then suddenly have four people die even though they're 1.5x out of it's radius.

Welcome to EU servers being in Canada.

Coeurl is also hosted in Canada, but I have the same latency to it as I do to the Japan servers. Makes no sense.

Have similar server latency problems, only way u gonna kill that big fatty is if every1 in ur raid reacts INSTANTLY, or predicts weight and move when its 1 second from being cast, its hard yes, but impossible ? No that is down to players skill, latency just make it harder.

I would like EU server tho, there is more than enough demand.

I'm from a world top WoW raiding guild. I react instantly and sometimes still get hit, well out of the circle.
It's not impossible, but it's ridiculous to spend half an hour downing him, when it should be a one shot.

It doesn't really seem like a latency issue, it seems like a server issue. Whenever this happens, multiple people get hit, not just one person.

As a Canadian, I can tell you that being over here doesn't do anything to help.

then if your from world top guild u can surely adjust 1 or 2 second and move before hand, taking server latency into account

Thats what we do.

It's like this for everything and I live about 30min away from the montreal's data center. I can literally walk 5 feet+ from a red area and still get hit, or walk behind a mob away from a frontal AoE and get hit 3 sec later when i'm completely behind it and have been for awhile. I'm surprised I don't see more posts about it all over the place it seems to be like this for a ton of people for anything from random mobs to dungeon fights.

Baloney, skill is using the intended game mechanics, not being psychic and and having to work around a technical issue.

I'd say it takes some degress of skill to predict each weight of world and move 1 second before it comes, I guess because you can't do this it means something ?

Titan has pattern of attacks you can follow, the same everytime no change, you just have to work it out

Like wise you can exploit and call it skill because well you know it takes a certain skill to exploit or hack doesn't it. My point is the game was DESIGNED to play a certain way with the INTENT that you use certain "CLUES" to avoid stuff. It was not meant or intented that you have to learn patterns so you could predict when to dodge BEFORE the clues pop up.

This doesn't mean you shouldn't know what the boss pattern is and learn any kind of strategy but you should be able to dodge when using the "clues" as it was meant to be. Knowing the pattern just lets you know when you should be paying attention to those clues so you dont miss them. You shouldn't have to ignore those "clues" because they do not work properly and instead rely on pattern prediction.
