I'm done with Titan.

[Animation]

There is not one MMORPG that I have played with a boss this frustrating, I have never looked down on someone for not being up to par on gear nor do I expect anyone to have full Darklight, as I myself don't have it yet. But when you queue up for Titan (HM) with a level 18 Bracelet and have 2.5k HP..

As I have said in others posts and threads, the boss isn't the main issue it's the community. Well this boss is anti-fun and it has so many bullcrap abilities that just make me furious, why the hell do his plumes stack? - That in itself is the main thing that I hate about this boss, the plumes are actually large in size and then they stack? I can handle one, but when you get hit by 3? wtf, the thing that makes this boss even worse is getting hit by server side lag, even to others I have been out of the plume and I've started casting my next spell then I'll just randomly get killed. I've seen people drag dead on the floor for the server to catch up where they were client side, how is that even fair. Instant kill mechanics are not fun, nor are they fair if you're not lucky enough to live in a area with amazing internet.

This boss just makes me so angry as I know his pattern, I know what to do in every phase, I set goals for MMORPG's, simply so I don't get bored and quit, my goal is my Relic, and this boss is in the way. I am so damn close to just buying it so I can continue with my goals, and really what does that teach me? Nothing. But currently all I'm getting is angry and games are meant to be relaxing, not rage inducing.

I think games like Super Meat Boy and I Wanna Be The Guy would like a word with you.

This game, to me, subtly reinforces the idea of creating your own groups for content, particularly endgame stuff. Your peers are not the brightest of the bunch, and they never will be. Ironically, this is for reasons very similar to what I quoted from you. If you fancy yourself sensible on the matter, take the time to form your own group for stuff. Or perhaps find others who are like you and join them in an LS or FC. It's extra work, but the payoff is typically far less stressful and exponentially rewarding.

I play Super Meat Boy when I'm angry, I enjoy that game. :/

Oh no doubt, I love the game. Doesn't change how angry it had made me while playing a number of the levels though lol. A sort of... angry fun. Along the lines of playing old/retro games, but having fun with them. Punishing and borderline infuriating, but still memorable.

This is what you get with the FATE system. People are just zerging to lv 50 with no clue about how to play or how to gear.

The FATE system is not responsible for it. The players themselves are. Pointing fingers at anyone/thing else is pointless, given that the player feels no obligation to learn period, be it uncertainty, ignorance, or just not giving a damn.

Heck, if they were forced to dungeon their way to 50, it STILL wouldn't make players learn how to play or equip their characters better. If someone is not able or willing to put in the time to do something, they won't. Ignorance about the matter is fine, because it usually means eventual change. It's the other sorts that are a problem. Either way though, everyone else has to deal with them until these players change.

Rest sniped

Because people always want a quick fix, alot of people refuse to do work and just want results. it's the reason why RMT will never go away because to many lazy, sad people buy gill that keeps them here. so leveling as fast as possible to 50 is something very common. it was the same way in FFXI and any MMO that gives the option, So with the FATE system it's an easy option to level without learning roles. as opposed to someone doing dungeons mainly because in the higher ones you HAVE to know your role to get through it.

If only that were really the case :/

You really think those people that are in lv10+ gear know what they're doing to be helpful to a group in HM primal fights? I have no doubts that they know what they're doing to get people to carry them through it though, no matter the amount of tries it takes lol.

Seriously, they had to have progressed through all of the (mandatory) dungeons to get to where they are. So they had to have had some decent exposure to how to do things as a group, given the difficulty of the latter half of them. I'm pretty sure you (as well as the rest of us) wouldn't be very confident in how reliable they are for HM fights. This is why I mentioned that the FATE system is not to blame, it's the players themselves. There's no need to defend them.

This may be the case if they took out the join a dungeon already in progress, but you are wrong. They don't have to know, they just have to get lucky. I joined one already in progress (story) where they were 1/2 through fighting the end boss. Got credit even though I didn't do anything since I was locked out of the fight

The AoE hitting you when you are clearly well out of the zone on your client is an accepted bug that hopefully SE can fix.

I haven't even tried Titan since the story mode but I'm not looking forward to it until they do.
