titan hard (hard for high latency)

[Rillifane]

Got to love how some EU players think they speak for everyone in terms of latency and getting hit with attacks, in the entire game i can list off only 2 AoE based attacks that hit me 90% of the time even though i move out of them straight away, and guess what these attacks also hit all east coast NA and people in canada too. First boss of Wanderer's Palace his spit attack hits people fairly often even if they run out of the AoE straight away, and the chimera fight for relic, his cones and small ice aoe hits people that move out of them often too and chances are both of those are down to an error in their programming which will be fixed.

Oh and i don't even use fibre optic adsl ftw >.>

Square doesnt care, now move on.

The fight is easy only for people actually in NA. I have 200ms latency and even though on my screen I always dodge it, I get hit anyway. The AOE ring has to be checked client side, but SE is famous for having crappy connections, so I don't expect it.

Well unless they increase the time before those AOE goes off, there is like no way ppl with high latency can cope with it. Moreover, it not only affect this fight, all fights involving AOE is an issue 1 way or another.

There is no way out for this problem. To those who said tgey dont have such problem, well good for you. I know ppl that suffer from this problem.

So people with similar (higher) latency and are managing are either wrong, lying, or just straight up lucky? I guess some groups that reliably clear HM Titan and sit on higher latency must be using up all the luck from the rest of the players. Please keep telling yourself this; it would be unfair if you had to actually adapt to your situation.

As a side note: Square, please don't dumb down boss mechanics because people 'lag' and fail to actually attempt to better themselves or their tactics to complete the encounters, even though they suffer from the 'impossible' 200ms threshold. Pretty sure every other MMO over the last 5-6 years have catered for this crowd already and some of us actually like the challenge.

They did it. Good for them. They did on high latency more power to them. They won by luck, skills, not my problem at all.

But I do have problems with ppl claiming latency is not an issue and everyone else that said otherwise should learn to play and shut up.

Reminds me of 1.0 Ifrit extreme fights. Ppl still say latency is not an issue even after SE said it is.

I'm not sure where people claimed latency wasn't an issue? When a game is designed to be challenging at lower latency, of course it'll pose a problem at higher latencies. There are two issues as a whole, and one doesn't apply to you (people on ~100ms saying latency makes the mechanics impossible), however attributing 100% of failing something to latency, unless you're sitting on 400+ms, and I'd even be generous and say 300+ms, is removing any responsibility on the players part. It also ignores that anything can be done to counteract or balance the latency (I can move into AoE as they 'go off', wouldn't be able to do that on 30ms). You have to work harder, and that sucks and is unfair or whatever, but can you magically change the latency? No, so you do what you can to deal with it. Alternatively you can complain about it and not clear content; To quote you, 'not my problem'.

And what makes you think OP didnt try to compensate for lag? You played with him or others that complained?

O ya op, forgotten to give you a heads up, look at your digital clock home, focus on the time it takes for 1 sec to pass, try and create an artifical timeframe. After you left an AOE zone time the distance in which you still get hit after you left that zone. Now use that timeframe to your advantage.

You can try out the timing by fight mobs that does AOE, Garleans, those lizard snake thingy, etc.

It helps a lot for me back in 1.0. It should help. Dont wait for the problem to go away, because it wouldnt, lessen by some extent yes. But going away, you might need to move next to the servers

So are you saying everything should be adjusted so bad players can complete it?
