Dizzines & Intense Nausea while playing Tower at Paradigm's Breach

[TaleraRistain]

I'm extremely uncomfortable in the Red Girl fight. Beyond being disorienting for me, there is a JUMP SCARE in it and I'm extremely sensitive to it... I know when it'll happen, but I never get used to it. One time I thought I was gonna have a heart attack because my reaction to it was so bad. It makes me want to not run that alliance raid at all. That alliance raid is a terrible tense experience for me because of it.

I seriously hate that entire fight. The hacking thing (not a Nier fan) is annoying to me. The jump scare doesn't scare me, but it does mean I can't see anything going on that I may need to pay attention to. I only run this place for my coin but up to my third run now I'm noticing the static more, especially in that fight.

I hate this place and I hate that it has the chance to come up in Alliance Roulette now and in the future.

This thread actually made me concerned about trying the new Nier raid because I have a history of getting nausea that feels exactly like motion sickness with some games, mostly first person games. And before anyone asks yes I have tried to power through and build up a resistance but feeling sick for a half hour after just a few minutes of play was too much to deal with over and over again.

Thankfully I didn't experience nausea in the new Nier raid but what did happen is I got very disorientated in the last fight due to some particle effects on the ground in black and white constantly flashing. Looking at them too much made me feel light headed and it felt as if my depth perception was diminishing. I could deal with it by focusing elsewhere on the screen, but something like that has never happened to me before. Very strange.

I did however experience motion sickness at a brief moment in the second Nier raid, that part when you got into that curved cabin area with 2B's room. Whatever way the camerawork is designed there it makes my stomach turn really fast. Fortunately it's just that tiny moment.

The fairy automatically heals people when you pop into a duty with a large party anyway because your HP automatically goes up when you're with 7 other people.

a whole 5k worth of hp? thinking.jpg

Yeah, there is no sound for when players put armor on or take it off.

The sound is from the fairy healing. The amount of hp you lose from the gain in a full party doesn't trigger the fairy. It only does that when people are putting their gear back on when they enter the instance. Changing jobs doesn't do this.


Edit: Though, this kind of proves my point. This does happen to the degree that I, a DF fiend, can notice it happening pretty regularly, but it's not something you'll see often if you only go into AR roulette once a day. Clearly people find this loophole for no blacklist, but the HW raids and above still pop up. From this I'm saying that letting people blacklist a raid or dungeon they hate will not impact the que in a way that we aren't experiencing already. By that I mean: you won't notice at all (unless you know what you're looking for with you LotA lovers).

I literally had a fairy heal me when queuing into NieR raid due to the full party effect but OK.

Also, I don't think you need to wait to put equipment back on right when the duty starts. I'm pretty sure you can take the equipment off, queue for duty, and then put it back on while you're still queuing and before it pops. I think the game looks at your ilvl when you press the button to queue.

That's because your HP is actually going up in the Nier raid. When you are in scaled content like CT, the gain is so small your natural regen ticks before the fairy is even aware of it.

You're also right about the gear. I just know quite a few people who walk around naked before entering.

You don't need to wait yeah ^^ Queue naked and equip gear before it pops works, unless the pop is instant

the raid was boring overall. i too felt my eyes were about to pop out.
i like nier but i never were fan of that map. its dull and boring to look at.

My eyesight isn't the best, though so far I haven't had any issues with the raid itself.

I like the raid's aesthetics - there's a certain haunting beauty to the area which I really enjoy.

• With consideration for player accessibility, certain battle effects in the alliance raid the Tower at Paradigm's Breach have been adjusted.

I can see how that might happen with the higher contrast and rapid patterns. Even if you're not seizure prone, that could cause eye strain and discomfort.
For now, I'd recommend turning down the contrast on your screen, lowering the effects to minimum, and playing in a well lit room, with enough distance from the screen. Hopefully that can mitigate it. If you're still having issues, you may want to talk to a doctor about it
