I would like to make some suggestions regarding the Unreal series and specifically Titan. In order to do this effectively, I feel I must briefly describe the type of player I am so you might understand where I'm coming from, however there's a TLDR at the end of the post. I've played XIV since a month after HW released and haven't had a sub lapse since. I would describe myself as a midcore player who has no interest in savage. My passion lies in primals. Basically, I would consider myself a non top tier, run of the mill but very devoted XIV player.
I have been trying to clear Titan since launch in PF and have found that clear groups struggle with this, especially since you cannot rez someone who falls off. Groups try for a little while, but it's pretty much doomed from the start.
Thus I would like to offer two ideas for the Unreal series that relate the Titan & the other older extremes that didn't allow resurrections. Since there is a group of XIV players that are from 1.0 or 2.0 & are likely going to tell me to shut my hole & stop crying since that's how it was back in the old days, my first suggestion is to allow a mode or button a player can toggle that allows rezzing or not for those older fights. If you choose to not have rezzing if you fall off, you can get an increase in reward and the satisfaction that you can do the fight as it was back in ye olden days. For those of us in PF that are struggling, it could allow for more success rate & participation in the unreal series.
My second and more radical suggestion is somewhat like the first. Since every fight in the game now allows for rezzing, even if you fall off a platform, please just change Titan to be in line with the rest of the games in the fight. This is what players have come to expect & it allows groups to have a higher chance of success, even when mistakes are made (we're all humans here and watching your friends have to struggle when you can't help is a form of masochist torture).
Doing Titan in PF is a lost cause without allowing for rezzing. I implore you to consider players who would like to clear this content and haven't been able to. Some will say the answer is "git gud", but I would point out that there are a fair amount of players who are decent, midcore players that are struggling with this fight simply because they made a mistake in a fight and can't correct it. Just because a fight was done a certain way in the past may not mean it's necessarily good for the future. So please SE...one small change may allow many more players to experience the content devs work so hard to create and feel more success. This leads to a more active and happy community, which is what we all want.
TLDR: Titan Unreal is hard to clear in PF. Please allow us to either toggle an option to allow rezzing if you fall off for a lesser reward or just have our bodies pop up on the platform after you die like the vast majority of other fights in the game.
