No more QTE please.

It was neat and goofy the first time we had it back in Alex, but almost every instance of it since then have done nothing but break the flow and mood of the encounter.

Not to mention how everyone gets punished with a bland reset when one player fails to catch on that he needs to faceroll the keyboard/spam every button on the controller.

I will say, that while the "One person fails, therefore wipe" makes sense in theory, in actual usage it was a pretty bad idea. The party I was in never failed the mechanic (We did wipe right after it, though. No tank LB used. XD), but I can see it having been an issue.

In terms of "Do this or die" mechanics, it's not a terrible one in most cases. This one is just extra long and extra punishing for those who aren't the best at it (or hit enter).

You talking about the 8man 5.3 MSQ?

It's one button. One Button, that you click though albeit it they give you very little advance warning you need to do so and I nearly lost it because my hand was nowhere near the mouse at the time and I barely grabbed it in time.

That, and... I will admit that having to spam clicks is exhausting for the finger and can actually cause RSI in some individuals. They could at least have like 2-3 buttons you have to click as they light up or something so it ain't just "spam clicks on this button".

Also, how the upper 70% of the meter is impossible to maintain and it always leaves you 2.5 seconds from losing it is kinda stupid too (previous use of the QTEs didn't do this). So if my finger tires out from all the clicking and I lose it, EVERYBODY wipes?

That is absolutely terrible design, now that I think about it.

I had to do the fight twice, and the actual QTE 4 times (first group wiped twice and disbanded, second group wiped once because of no LB3), and on the 4th one, my finger was feeling pretty tired from all the clicking. I didn't know at the time that 1 person failing meant the entire group wipes.

What is the button you are supposed to hit on the keyboard for that mechanic, anyway? I've always just clicked.

I'm sorry! I didn't see the notice where we needed a tank LB3 lol

You might not of been with me but i just finished the instance not to long ago and the samethjng happened to us.. if you had a tank set markers for 1 and 2 of bow LB then that was me haha

You can hit any button on the keyboard - easiest way to do is to just smash as many as you can. Still sucks, though - and doesnt make for an intresting or fun mechanic, specially when its overtuned like for Mystery Trial.

Can hit any button on a controller too, but even then the bar would dip below half after spamming.

The meter is programmed to be deceptive, it says you have 10 seconds, but really the upper 5-7 seconds are impossible to maintain which gives the illusion that you're going to fail it, but in practice, it's just not good design because they give you a 2.5s margin of error and that's it. One lag spike and the whole group is dead.

[Lhunuial]

I hate the QTE in the 5.3 trial. I've talked about it in different threads. I can't keep it up to keep smashing that button and because of it I keep failing and I can't finish the MSQ. This is really poor design and it doesn't take into account that some people with physical issues won't be able to do this QTE, especially not if they have to do it several times in a row because they keep failing. Latency issues and lag spikes also don't help. It is not fun at all and right now I'm even too anxious to try again.

on controller I tend to spam the X and O buttons with my index and middle fingers (which I usually found to be fastest in other trials for me) and even then I nearly lose it in this one. It's gotten old and annoying at this point, I agree.
