Will high end content actually be challenging?

[Kyouko]

I hear people say certain bosses are hard like story mode Titan and I laugh to myself because they have no idea. Challenging to me means everyone is required to do their part in order to defeat said encounter, if someone screws up you're done or it'll be difficult to recover. Everyone is in tune and does what is needed to make it work. Some may say that's too much to ask but it's what I'm used to from playing other MMO's in the past, all the MMO's now are really easy and their hard modes aren't really hard

Before I say this game is too easy I need to experience high end for myself and compare/contrast to my previous experiences.

I think the social MMO crowd makes games way too easy, sometimes I prefer playing single player games

When people are talking about Titan, they are talking about Hard Mode, not normal. Titan HM is extremely hard, and it is very difficult to recover if even 1 or 2 people screw up (tank, healer, or dps). They are also adding an additional difficulty mode, and then of course, Coils. As someone who has 4 different characters in Dark Souls and has played through NG++++, I can tell you this game has plenty of difficulty to offer. None of the mechanics themselves have been that complex or hard, but getting 8-24 people to follow them for 10+ minutes is.

Wait till coil ... Titan is hello kitty compared to turn 2

Yeah, coming from a FC that is on HM Titan right now, it's plenty challenging

Titan hm is only hard because you need all 8 ppl to stay alive if 1 or 2 dies you can wipe if your not lucky with rez. Also to make it harder ppl lag in this fight its one of the most reasons why ppl also buy Titan tickets.
