    Notice yourself with the quarantine stat, count the time it takes to go through, next time close your eyes go 1-2-3-4 and then open them when you know you'll be out, that should help with the motion sickness.
    Why exactly should I learn to adapt around an incredibly stupid, overly done mechanic?
    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.

    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?

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
