Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

I never had any issue as a WAR.
My hubby BRD got hit 3-4 times.
Healer Got hit.
Other DD got hit.

Sometimes just knock back to the edge if your far enough away from it you don't fall.


4 Duty finders later we got it.
The key for anyone having issue, is don't wait for the AOE attack. Start moving as soon as titan turns away form the tank. Never be on the same side as the tank.
As for the video, That's really bad. Never seen that far away and still get hit with AOE.

The saddest part of this issue, is that if they don't fix it they latter will threat us like cheaters because there will appear people who will exploit this to do many things here's a short list:
1)teleport to the exact position they desire(hello gathering points, hi end boss).
2)killing someone in pvp after being dead(want to see a corpse kill you?).
3)being able to resurrect mine times as you like( just one cast and outside the grace period it already grants you)
4)dupe items.

I wouldn't hold your breath for any further fixes, although it would be wonderful if they improve it. We have to learn to work around the problem by moving before the cast begins. You can either do this by being constantly on the move or memorizing the attack patterns so that you know a second or so before the cast begins to start moving.

For people with over 200ms latency a good guideline is: if you can see the red circle and you are not already moving, you're dead.

You are pretty much right here.
Especially since the servers don't seem to handle the load and tend to lag as well adding even more delays on top of it.
If anything the last maintenance made it worse for me with the constant lag spikes during peak hours.

But here is the main question, does the majority of the players want to do end game when this is the set standard?

[Yiell]

keep on trying until you succeed. The only thing that you need to fight is yourself.

[DuferBloodmoon]

Why? Because I can't dodge the @#$%ing AoE. After hours of practicing in the duty finder and then going in with my free company I still failed over and over again.

Then I tried to react before the weight actually casted. It worked the first few times but then I just ended up running into other people's weights.


EDIT: Thanks to the person who added this link to the discussion:

It seems like it's almost worse on weights too. I will look for a video to add to show that this problem also happens with weights.

It all seems fine to me, except for the horrendous DELAY from the servers. The video you linked is proof. Most of us are experiencing that and it's not viable for being competitive in any way. Regardless, about the titan fight itself, learn when he uses weight and move BEFORE he even starts casting.

I hate to say it, but it's on people's end. I have 13ms, I'm capped my fps at 60 and I don't get hit by anything in Titan Hard Mode unless I screw up real bad or like that funny attempt yesterday when I got freed from a rock in a landslide XD was funny tough: ''I'm freeeeee guys yay ... Ahhhh faaalliiinnnggg

I have a 30ms ping, rocking a Radeon HD 7970... we carry people through Titan.... often 7 manning it to get that person the win. I've even got a little Allagan gear (one of the best geared Dragoons game wide)
I don't get hit. period.

However....

Just because I know to move before the ability happens doesn't make it right.
If it's a 2 second cast time yet I really only have 1 second to move, then that is INACCURATE and BROKEN.

And frankly, your blind acceptance is PATHETIC. You pretend it separates the men from the boys but in reality, it's just another major developer getting away with lazy ass programming, and you're an enabler.

What if Street Lights did that? Amidst all the accidents would you tell people
"Hey, you guys just have to learn to stop while it's still green!"

Because that is exactly what is happening.

Learning to adapt to broken mechanics doesn't negate the existence of broken mechanics.

And it doesn't make you 1337. It makes you look foolish to imply that it does.

So congratulations.. you're one of the many people that learned to ignore the on-screen indicators, since they are not helpful.
Even more congratulations are in order for being one of the gullible players who thinks that is ok.

All the right things
