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

This is my favorite fight off all the floors. The reactions in ts by the dps is priceless. The first time our BLM got sucked in he thought his game glitched. It's funny because it always happens after putting down his runes too. It's just such a troll mechanic. I love how creative these fights are. Really looking forward to savage.

As someone who primarily OTs, I don't really have much of a problem with this part of the fight. Sure, it means I can't go absolutely berserk on the boss until phase 3, but it's an interesting little mechanic that encourages vigilance over autopilot, which is always nice.

What I don't like, however, is how I can't leave to quarantine for 5 seconds without the entire party falling apart by time I get back.

Because that is how things are done. There is special consideration to flashing and light sequences in most video games due to the propensity of them triggering epileptic reactions. While Tubing with Alex isn't one of those considerations, if they get enough complaints they might change it. That is if they get enough Complaints.

In the mean time I suggest the OP does as suggested and if they want to continue to do A4, then they should learn the time it takes to go through the tube and close their eyes for the duration of the travel.

the whole floor is stupid... the boss is to damn big takes up the whole damn screen can't see nothing in that floor man

I Don't how many time's I've gone Tubing and come back to a Dead party with the DPS and I just going.... the hell happened out here?

I actually quite like this mechanic. Maybe queue as a healer or MT the fight until/if ever SE changes this?

I cannot believe people are coming into a post talking about "this makes me physically ill" and their response is "get over it / go do something else / try calming music / it doesn't bother ME".

Oh wait, this is the internet. Yes I can.

(I have a feeling I won't like this when I get around to the mechanic either.)

I think the negative responses were reciprocated from the OP's particularly negative take on the matter. When you start with 'This makes me sick' and 'this is a stupid mechanic' andpeople try to give advice in the meantime only to be retorted with 'But why should I have to do anything!', then naturally the responses will be more insulting.

I agree on one thing. Saying the mechanic is "stupid" is an opinion. I don't have a problem with people voicing their own opinions on that point. (e.g.: "I like it." "I think this is fun!", etc.) However, when they attack a player's physical symptoms, I can see them getting defensive.

Motion sickness is common in gamers. It isn't something the OP can just "get over". Square-Enix has done a good job with accessibility already. They even received an award! I feel that the OP deserves to have this concern acknowledged. How else can S-E fix the problem if they don't know it exists?

Please, do not defend those attacking the OP's condition. Everyone deserves the chance to engage the content equally.

Because you want the clear/token?
