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

Everyone can express an opinion, and there are ways to go about it that can promote two different types of responses. I feel OP went about it the wrong way if they didn't want people being snippy because the impression I had from the core of this discussion (the original post) was a snippy attitude. You can't ask for a thread to derail into a positive thing when it starts incredibly negative.

As for accessibility, I do agree to an extent. SE can't limit themselves to every minority of ailment as this greatly cuts into creativity. Sad as it is, severe epileptics probably don't play this game because they probably have a good idea of how flashy it is. One movement mechanic in a raid is setting off your motion sickness? I'm sorry, there are plenty of people who play this game who also don't suffer from gaming motion sickness so why would SE not create content that can have fewer limitations?

Plus there's the entire part where OP is unhappy with learning to shut their eyes for 3 seconds. That was a little over the top IMO.

The mechanic is their to force the group to communicate and make last minute adjustments for handling the adds. I'm anxious as to what savage will add.

Say it with me: "motion sickness is not an opinion."

I watched a video of A4. I had to close my eyes to avoid feeling that pull of being pulled along by a ride even though I was sitting perfectly still in my chair. I go through this every time my character has to leap from a tall cliff, like in The Aery, or Hullbreaker Isle. It takes me completely out of the run for a short time because I have to calm myself down. Same with falling off of platforms during primal fights.

Flashy lights and such, for the most part, can be toned down through adjusting color, brightness, and combat effects. There is no switch for being tossed into the air at high speeds, or falling.

That sucks you are feeling motion sick. I don't have the issue doing A4 but I do get really bad motion sickness from playing first person shooters so I understand your pain. Unfortunately it's kinda one of those things that only a very small portion of people get, they probably won't accommodate for it

So just dont play games when you have sickness from it? Or go to doctor to prescribe you meds or visit psychologists. There are many people with different issues, you should handle it by your own.

I'm talking about the world's stupidest mechanic where I am constantly, CONSTANTLY tossed into a fast moving tunnel to deal with an add.
Now, dealing with the add isn't the problem. Suddenly being pulled from the fight and sent tumbling through this tunnel is the problem.

I actually thought this was kind of fun. But I can see how this can be a problem with some people

Its one of the best thing in the raid. Their not going to remove it and I hope they do more stuff like it.

not really much in terms of communication if people are getting sick from it.

Just a thought, but what FPS does your card run at? I get the "disorienting motion sickness" type of feeling sometimes just from "jumping off a cliff" in this game, but I never thought SE would put something like that right into a boss mechanic.

See if frame-locking it at 30 or 15fps gives the same effect.

I enjoy the mechanic. It's rather fun. I understand you are sensative but learn to adapt, don't force everyone to change for you. When I was younger and worked at taco bell, I used to hate when vegetarians would come in and, not only order a vegetarian meal (substitute meat for beans) but would require the kitchen crew to change their gloves and utensils to fresh ones (which took a ton of time and held up allllll orders for 5 minutes). I have a peanut allergy but I avoid peanuts, I don't walk into a Planters store and ask for chocolate chip cookies. The point is; asking a company to remove a mechanic because it sucks for you is basically ruining the experience for the majority. I'm not trying to sound insensitive, but if the mechanic sucks for you to look at, look away. There's even a disclaimer that video games cause motion sickness/dizziness and seizures in some people.
