Nier Raid 3's mechanics are dangerous for epileptics.

I mean at best they can just put a warning like all other games... they can’t change the whole game do cater to one group of people. And it’s Nier theme so you kinda know what you’re stepping in if you know the series at all. So like I said if it’s triggering then know the limits and what not to play in the huge list of other stuff that’s totally ok to play.

they could add a mode or setting to help it honestly, tbh the entire neir final boss should be sued by the guy who made the red queen of resident evil its a gaint rip off anyway that said they could just avoid making stuff like that when they know can cause proplems

They're more likely to glean the FFXIV subreddit than this forum.

Oh dear....

Hah. Go on.

What is it with the FF14 community and saying "if you don't like it, leave."?

To be fair, you were the one who said you view XIV similar to teamspeak, or any other IM service. would it then not be in YOUR best interest to cease paying for the service and use something free to speak to your group of friends, considering you were the one who said you only use XIV for this such reason?

[MilkieTea]

No, I said it was a platform on which I had built a community.

The comparison to AIM and Teamspeak was an attempt to connect with the obviously out of touch person I was responding to, as those platforms are also terrible.

if the platform is terrible then change platforms. If you’ve built a community you enjoy spending time with, but you don’t enjoy the platform you spend your time ON, then change platforms, as that would be in YOUR best interest. Discord is very fleshed out, or you could move to another game.

“ I play this game in spite of the absolute worthlessness of the development team because I have built a community that I enjoy spending time with, and FF14 happens to be the crappy platform we meet on. I'm sure you remember AOL Instant Messenger, or maybe Mumble/Teamspeak? Same basic idea.”

[MilkieTea]

So you expect me to convince dozens of people to change platforms, just because the developers of this game are, in my opinion, complete idiots?

If *they* don’t wish to change platforms, *they* don’t have to. They can use both if they want, and if they choose not to then the onus is on THEM to continue being your friend despite having no platform to contact you on. You do not have a responsibility to play a game you very clearly do not enjoy just to speak to someone - if you wish to stop playing the game, those who are worth keeping as friends would understand your decision and wish to remain on friendly terms with you OUTSIDE of the game.

[MilkieTea]

OK, fine, whatever.

Blocked. I'm not dealing with someone who refuses to accept that maybe, just maybe, there's utility in improving the platform you're already on rather than abandoning it.

No one is arguing that the current state of the game cannot be improved, and that this raid isnt dangerous to the health of others (even I had a bit of dizziness on the elevator part) but it is clear that this is not the only issue YOU have with the game, and it is clear that the issues are mounting up so much that you can’t enjoy it *in spite* of its flaws until they are worked on. As YOU SAID, FF14 just happens to be the “crappy platform” you have built your community on - if you do not like the “crappy platform” in its current iteration, then SHIFT PLATFORMS until you feel it is okay to come back. that could be in a week, in a month, or in a year, or it could be never.

If you’re worried that your friends will not shift platforms with you then either stress that they have their own autonomy and can remain on both platforms if they so choose, or if they are adamant that it has to be on THIS platform then that shows they do not care enough about your relationship to attempt to remain in contact with you, and only viewed you as another name and avatar to play the game with and chat sometimes.

There is nothing wrong with taking a break, there is nothing wrong with not liking something, and there is nothing wrong with seeking improvements - but there *is* something wrong with not removing yourself from what is clearly a stressful environment and putting the onus on yourself to keep your friend group together.
