Isn't this the same group that did that 6 minute Garuda run? I'm surprised how just a single DPS more kills these things twice as fast as we can.

Yeah, our main problem is dodging things (and getting people online) lol. Hopefully this week we finish them so we don't have an ilv90 weapon wasted again

_________________

I need to get in on these. I still haven't beaten Ultima, let alone Garuda. haha. A bit sad, yet not surprising, that Titan would still be the hardest primal, even though Ifrit has the higher iLvl requirement. I still think that HM Titan will be harder than HM Ultima/EX Garuda for randoms in a few weeks/month from now.

It's only hard because people are terrible at dodging his mechanics. Even in my PUGs there is always that one person that just can't remember when things are coming.

I feel like a lot of people are doing this and really not putting in the required effort to learn when things are going to happen. People are making it sound worse than it really is.

Outside of lag spikes(and trying something stupid) I don't get how people are still getting hit by landslide and weight of the land... It's the same shit that Titan has been doing all along, and the safe spots are pretty huge.

Most hectic part isn't until the Egis pop and people are dying before that so..... Whatever, lol.

Party Finder is a little better than DF if you only need like 1 or 2 people. Full PF groups are still usually shitty, even with ilv set to 80+ and a comment asking people to know the fight. It's a little sad.

Ya the fight itself is pretty straight forward. Going to try that ping thing with it tonight and see how my lag is. Without the lag I know I can beat it....it's just a matter of everyone else now lol

RAWRZ!! Imma die a lot here, but I'll get it down.

The other day I was the only person not getting destroyed, tonight I actually lag for once and I'm one of the two people dying every time.

Hate.

at least you guys now know the pain I had to endure until TWC fixed their fucking routing

OH HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED

now it just sucks cuz I'm spoiled and if my avg ping goes up to 40-60ish at night vs the 10-20 I experience during off-peak hours I immediately start freaking out thinking it's all going to hell again

edit: found this on reddit, looks like everything that was going on with TWC is now happening with FiOS... awesome:

Yeah. Like half of our party was using battleping or pingzapper and it seemed to work since they stopped dying :p

omg let's kirr irfirt tonight!

lol, Kayne.

Yah, I've basically been using Battleping since Titan HM. It's some great conspiracy where they all own stock in eachother's companies.

Congrats on the Titan win, though! Now let's go back and do Garuda.

I'm down for helping people get through the primals(after we kill Ifrit :p). People need the ilv90 accessories and I need to get some good recordings too. I'm an idiot and forgot to record the titan win =(

_________________

You all will get it n/p, sounds like. Titan will forever be the roadblock in any of these. haha.

Next round of primals, he'll be the first one in in the chain, just to troll everyone. haha

I need to look into using that new Nvidia ShadowPlay thing. Where it makes your computer work like a DVR and is constantly recording the last 15-20 minutes, overwriting itself as it goes along. The idea is that you just leave it on constantly, and then when something awesome happens you hit a hotkey and bam, you got your 15-20 minute clip saved.

Yeah I saw that Ket. Maybe I'll try it out tonight in Ifrit.

Side topic because we were discussing it. Post on Reddit says that the Ifrit "safe spots" go around clockwise:

First plume: 1 o'clock + 7 o'clock
Second plume: 2 o'clock + 8 o'clock
Third plume: 3 o'clock + 9 o'clock

Easy to remember.

Remember these are also always immediately after Hellfire, so there's no reason to not be in position before it happens.

Yeah, also we need to switch how we were doing things.

Have the healer that isn't debuffed stack on the group and have the group run the same pattern together every time for eruptions. People should check out a video too. We did pretty amazing for going in blind, we'll win tonight!! (if people are online :p)

Fullscreen Windowed on multi-monitor, or bust.

I've not tried it yet. According to Google it seems ShadowPlay requires full-screen mode because it's using some kind of low-level frame buffer injection method that ensures it doesn't hinder your performance (framerate only 1 or 2 lower).

That sucks though. I'd probably use it if it worked on borderless.
