No more QTE please.

[Hatfright]

it just looks like people don't want to put in effort at all

"No matter how hard I try, I physically can't do this and I don't have the resources to "find a way around it" — "You're just not trying enough!"
That's how most the of people look like defending this particular QTE, how can't you see it.
People want engaging fights. People want to succeed. People want teamwork. What they don't want is a mechanic which punishes them for no damn reason.
(Edit) Them and everyone else in their party, actually.

Then do explain what a QCF is and why that would be better?

We also want to meet in the middle.

That's what this about. We want to make sure all the effort we put in to succeed makes us succeed, because you can be sure we are trying really hard to succeed, but we get punished for having a disability. We are putting in all that we have, but that this QTE is designed in a way that makes it impossible for us to succeed is why we want it changed.

Why can't you see that we are putting in all the effort that we can? And we fail regardless because of something that's out of our control and therefore are kept out of the rest of the story.

Its the motion you do for Ryu's ki blast. The Hadoken. Thought all gamers knew that. Not an insult but its old. Quarter circle forward.

It is, nevertheless, what you're effectively saying.

Because that isn't the reason why people are vocally against this QTE. You're strawmanning and ignoring the things that people are telling you that don't fit your narrative.

There isn't a significant issue of people queueing this (or most things) and then just afking, other than for PVP, which practically encourages it due to its "rewarded win or lose" nature. Nothing like this was needed to try to "make sure" people aren't afking, and even then, what makes you think it's right to punish an entire group just because one person is?

I'd like to know what your defense is regarding the people who are trying to pass this QTE (and therefore, are not afking) and yet they still don't pass it, and the group wipes anyway. Kinda indicates to me that this mechanic is not necessarily doing a good job of weeding out the afkers (like you seem convinced is what it's for), just weeding out the people that for whatever reason can't spam button presses fast enough, and also weeding out anyone who is unfortunate enough to be partied with them, since they end up failing for no reason too.

Also have no clue what a QCF is supposed to be.

I'm not ignoring anything. I said what I'd do. Qcf. Quarter circle forward. The hadoken. Change the qte to that boom. Problem solved. If what you dont like is the wipe mechanic then we'll never agree. Cause as I've said. I like that. Let normal mode have some teeth.it has nothing to do with your narrative about me wanting to punish people with disabilities. And has everything to do with loving it has some teeth. The issue is the qte. Not the wipe mechanic. Change the qte problem solve. Least I think so.

I personally wouldn't mind something like that. Not sure how they've manage the movement keybinds but having to put in a sequence is leagues less stressful on the hand than repeated and quick stress motions like QTE spamming.

Thats all I've been trying to say this whole time. And what about the arrow keys? That could work.

Sorry, but I don't know that. I've never played Street Fighter. I didn't start gaming properly until Baldur's Gate and then it was only a few games. Like Dragon Age, World of Warcraft, LOTRO, SWTOR.

A sequence to follow might be nicer if it doesn't go too fast.

That's another issue. Because of chronic fatigue my response times are slower. So if you don't mind the bar doesn't lower as fast as it does now, then I wouldn't mind to follow a sequence of buttons. I can memorise a button sequence no problem.

People are (rightfully) asking for a nerf on this because one person failing a QTE should not wipe the whole group, period. No QTE in this game that I'm aware of has worked like this before, and this just opens the door wide open to 1) people who legitimately can't clear it getting harassed and bailed on because they're "holding back" their party, 2) trolls who will just fail it on purpose to be jerks until they're kicked, and 3) people who encounter someone in group #1 but think they're part of group #2, compounding the potential harassment issue.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what it will be if nothing changes. This is not a challenge, in fact, this is a moment that creates a lot of tension already.

As Fynlar says: Just admit you guys don't care about the people who can't clear it.

Conversations in the style of "I know a guy, he can" serve only one purpose, to devalue the experience and efforts of others. It saddens me to look at this, especially in connection with the fact that no one is immune from diseases or accidents.

Whats wrong with asking for EVERYONE to be woke and succeed?

Reread the thread, please. And if not, I will remind you. They don't sleep, they are not AFK, they just physically cannot press that damn button like crazy. Moreover, it hurts them. Isn't the message "I can't get through because I'm in pain" enough for you? This is the quintessence of heartlessness.

Meanwhile, no one answered a simple question: what will happen so terrible if one person does not make QTE and the party does not wipe? What will fundamentally change? Will Dalamud fall on players head? Or hardcore players will not receive secret Olympic medals?

I also ask this question. Prior to the release of patch 5.3, the entire group would not wipe if someone did not have time to press the button. Never. Now the developers for some reason decided that pushing people against each other due to failure is fun and cool. I imagine how many people who for some reason cannot do this, and just trolls who wipe the group for fun, I will meet on this trial, if they do not change it.

In a game that focusses on teamwork and getting through challenges together the worst thing to do is to pit players against each other (unless it's pvp). Already people who cannot pass the QTE are being verbally abused and kicked out of parties because the party keeps wiping due to the person's physical limitation and inability to pass the QTE. It only leads to harassment and people being excluded from what is essentially a required part to continue the story, which everyone needs to pass. And as RajNish says, there's the trolls who do it on purpose.

But we are not talking about trolls. We are talking about the first group of people, the people who cannot pass the QTE because of physical and mental limitations who vary in each person.

To answer the question: The only thing that would change would probably be hardcore players' feelings of accomplishment.
