I'm done with Titan.

[Jeronlmo]

I wish I had as many choices as some people for Titan HM groups.

Sadly I missed the transfer so I'm stuck on a JP server, and needless to say for someone who doesn't speak or understand JP in any way, DF is pretty much the only option.

I've tried group shouts, putting together groups, yada yada the whole nine yards. The community for an ENG speaking player for hard runs just isn't there. Everyone I know atm whose ENG and has beaten Titan has gotten lucky with the 3%-5% win rate from DF.

No matter your server, if the content is aimed to be done within a community, your only option shouldn't end up being the DF.

More Options should be put on the table, Like a Community Finder next to the Duty Finder.

How about we don't regionalize servers, oh wait.

Before all that happened in 1.0 I did most of my groups for ifrit extreme with JP's, JP /shout are far better than NA /shout groups on average, and I don't know a single word of JP. JP's respect and remember people who can play well, if you play badly never expect another invite because the word will get around. Based on the amount you wine, you prob be bad.

...Wh..what?

The game runs like crap for us AMD card users.. check out the tech support.. Long threads with a ton of us getting like 10 fps and crashes for no reason we can find.

It's not the rigs... You sound very unintelligible about whats going on in game... There are clear and obvious server side lag issues skipping etc in duty finders and in high populated areas that are not a fps issue... Anyways titan is a pointless fight with no rewards that's just a gate from real endgame with real rewards...

If you cannot win titan, you cannot win coil.

You are using AMD cards, and the're 6800's at that. This game has been proven many times over to prefer Nvidia cards atm. AMD guys are pretty much screwed atm. Get a 660GTX or better (preferably a 760) and it will run a TON better.

Wow you really do not know anything about PC's according to your posts.
IF my FPS is sitting at 60-120 constant then My PC specs have absolutely nothing to do with the delay.

Please quite pretending to be knowledgeable in a subject you apparently know nothing about. Your posts just scream Troll Fanboism.

So op, you're not geared for end game and nobody you play with is, from the sound of it, but you expect to win? Let me know how that works out.

He won. Which kinda means this thread is now fodder for arguing in a circle.

Arg, I missed that. Yep, argue on. I'm Audi 5.

Benchmark the game... I'll beat you with an equivalent Nvidia Card all day long, challenge accepted. Also go look at the benchmark thread from pre launch, Every equivalent Nvidia build beat it's amd counterpart. I couldn't find one AMD card that benched higher than an equally priced Nvidia card.

Let's also not forget the game is running on DirectX 9 atm, and will get bumped to 11 somewhere around the ps4 version time frame which should make PC/PS4 players have a much better experience.

FFXI likes Cuda Cores and Physx Better atm.

Also keep in mind AMD has been having serious drivers issues lately and just recently released the beta driver for the crossfire frame pacing feature. Nvidia's drivers are solid right now.

I don't lean one way or the other. But I analyzed this game for weeks on tons of benches, cpu, etc and determined that 2nd gen intel + nvidia card was the way to go, costs about 200$ more than an amd build I could have gotten, but performs a lot better.

And I'm not disaggreeing that some people are having lag issues that are server issues. What I am saying is that people like me are able to do the content regardless with minimal issues. If you can't get out of aoe (your off by 1 second or so) it's latency (distance to server) or setup isn't optimized.

Do I expect people to pay $$$ to compensate, no, but you can and it works, so if you can compensate and you have the $$$.... People need to update their pc's eventually anyways. You can't expect to play every game for years to come on a pc from 2010...

And I'm sure optimization tweaks will come eventually.
