One lag spike and the whole group is dead.

    Not for you, maybe. But obviously that isn't the case for other people, myself included. Just because you think it's easy doesn't mean others think the same way. That's quite ableist. There are people with disabilities, physical limitations who might have trouble with this. People who have slower reactions due to disabilities. I know I have trouble with it and you have no idea how extremely frustrating it is when you can do mechanics just fine, but this QTE event is what keeps you from continuing the trial and being trolled by other people in the party because you continue to fail over something like mashing buttons on a keyboard. My hands hurt after doing it and then I don't even make it? Time after time after time? That there is no way around it is very frustrating.

    What's the -ist word for when people want to ruin it for the many, just for the sake of the few? Do disabled and phisically limited people stomp their feet and pout everytime they don't get their way and need for everyone to bend over for them, or do they just move on and stick with what they can do?

    It's also very frustrating to have things constantly change because there's always a small vocal group taking issues with something.

    This playerbase is reaching ridiculous levels, always finding defects in every single thing.

    We are not trying to ruin it for everyone. This is a trial that's part of the MSQ. Everyone should be able to get through it. This kind of QTE event would be fine in a hard or savage mode. Hardcore players could do those. I'm a casual player and I like getting through the story. That's mainly why I play this game, for the story. And you are seriously exaggerating we find defects in everything. I loved everything about the patch, I could get through everything. Except that QTE. Yes. we do like to focus on what we can do, but the QTE is a very very harsh reminder of what we can't do and it keeps us from continuing the game. The MSQ is for everyone and should be accessible to everyone.

    And what would it hurt other players if they made it a bit easier? Or if they made it like other QTE ones where only you die? I am not disabled yet I still found it hard to do. My fingers still did hurt afterwards. And its not even like its a hard or awesome mechanic..(and on top of that I missed some of the scenes itself because I was so concentrated on beating it)

    People are not asking for a win button. They are not asking for a click and the fight to be done. They just want one portion of it which is way over the top to be toned down. Or are you having fun with QTEs? Are they the most awesome mechanics ever? Would you still love it if you have group after group where just one single person can hold the party back? This is not only bad for those that have injuries but its a perfect mechanic for trolling..

    yeah. Judging but a lot of responses here, I think a lot of people are using their mouse or just clicking one button on the keyboard. I place both hands on the home row and smash buttons as fast as I can.

    Then isn't that on the player? I play on controller and since day one I press all the buttons and move the analog sticks. I just watched the lastest eps of Mr.Happy's podcast and apparently theres alot of people who don't have video game sense. If you're just pressing one button over and over again stop. And stop just literally right clicking.. no wonder people fail the easlier ones if thats the case. If you see that QTE mash everything please. Stop injurying your pride. I'm kindof joking here but I was shocked there's still tons of people out there who don't know to mash everything. Like.. how?

    As strange as it sounds, not all keyboard clicks seem equal. The two times I did it, the first stayed low, the second stayed high, but there were noticeable times where it would drop by a little bit before going back up. I am unsure what causes it.
