If you must insist on repetition, DON'T DO THIS (Terrible design choice in Alex raid)

And why exactly should the game adapt to your motion sickness? Games generally have motion?????

The mechanic is like naked atm, all of alex is. Basically existing in a vacuum. I can already see in alex savage, the tank taking a brutal amount of damage from the add, so therefore he wont be able to cheat the orbs with cds and might have to keep them for the add? and the healer will have to have tanks topped up for when they get sucked away, so mini healer check too, and a dps check too, because they will have to get back asap in alex savage ( obvious assumption ) all in all I think it's brilliant.

Why exactly should they limit their creativity because an EXTREMELY SMALL percentage of people might get motion sickness from it?

This must just be a very small amount of people. I get motion sick easily myself, but I never get sick when pulled through the tunnel. I'm not sure why either, I think because it happens so fast, it's less than 3 seconds to be thrown into the room. That's not enough time for me to get motion sick. 5 seconds, however...

Interesting....

I don't get motion sickness from it, but I do get frustrated with it. I'm essentially either immobile or fighting a single, weak enemy for 2/3rds of the first two phases. It isn't very fun.

Its SE's fault you have motion sickness? What?

Especially when most groups demand I state when I am sucked in for the purposes of add management, so I can't look away and focusing on the chat window doesn't help.

This is just all part of another problem with the overall design of boss mechanics; some are repeated to the point of tedium. Much like the robots launching in Fist of the Father.
Spam is never a good thing, no matter who does it. Though at least THAT mechanic doesn't make me physically ill.

Why should you learn how to do anything? This game is stupid, life is stupid. I just want everything handed to me on a diamond platter. Wahhhh, Wahhhh, wahhhhh

Are you serious? The vacuum is awesome

Motion sickness and gaming in general are not things which go well together and those that suffer because of it are a small percentage. Developers cater to everyone not a small amount of people plus they want to be creative with the look of the game it's like being sucked into a water slide or something. The animation doesn't even last that long anyway. I've found listening to relaxing music while playing games helps a lot. The noise from games can often make me feel more sick.

I think the oppressor robots launching into the sky (and the being sucked into tunnel) look really awesome and I like seeing them lots of times. I empathise with your motion sickness, but don't call the animation stupid just because you personally have a very specific issue with it.
