No more QTE please.

[Genz]

QTE is a game killer, like every "get this insignificant thing correct or get one-shot/wipe".

The goal of making a RPG in the first place is to have a wide diversity of play. And it's online! The devs can create challenges with 4/8/24 different human players against a boss, with a mix of many different tank, healers and DD. It's a dream.

But then it's reduced to just 3-4 binary "did you dodge/push the button? yes/no"

QTE are just designers being disrespectful to their own work.

QTE is a game killer

If it's a game killer then why isn't XIV dead?

[Kolsykol]

I really don't understand why this is still a thing in the game lol.

[Lhunuial]

Because previously you didn't wipe your party if one person failed. That's one of the two big issues with the current QTE in 5.3.

I think if QTE is done right its fine. The only one that comes to mind is Susano. Required 1 person to do it and the rest had to do their thing. THe bind/chains on everyone is getting a bit old.

You didn't answer my question. You said it's a game killer. And FFXIV is not dead. So how is it a game killer? Did you mean perhaps, something that killed your gameplay experience? Maybe this instance in particular killing your run because some 1 person couldn't get it?

Because your wording is sending a wholly different message.

I’ve never had it end without a full bar.
Going ham on a keyboard isn’t hard.

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.

I actually like the idea that if one person fails it, we all wipe. Finally people are held accountable for playing the game putting fourth effort. Also it's really not at all hard to click and mash your keyboard at the same time. Why do people complain once something new is added that requires anything from them? We got a challenging trial and this fit with it, deal with it.
