SoS Normal, why the mandatory active time event?

[Jojoya]

There are some that do, that are in the msq. So yes, they would have to know before SoS.
How does a completed duty have anything to do with this? There is also auto translate, if they don't speak an official language I dunno how or why they made it this far, it's almost a guarantee someone has it macro bound and already said it. It is 100% trolling without defense.

The only solo MSQ duty with it that I can think of before you get to SOS would be Y'shtola's in Steppe and that's got an extremely generous timer to the point the only way to fail is to not click at all. That one can be easily completed with mouse clicks. SOS can't.

Do you have said macro created and ready to use yourself? If not, then how can you guarantee that one of the 6 other players in a random group is going to have it macro'd and ready to use?.

You're being hostile and unforgiving in a situation that doesn't warrant it.

They should probably keep this sort of thing in solo duties and not invite this in group content. Keep success and failure there just on figuring out and performing the mechanics and tanking/dps/healing.

I would leave it out of all content period. It's not interesting as a mechanic. It's extremely immersion breaking to be in the middle of a story combat moment just find ACTIVE TIME MANUEVER suddenly plastered over half the screen.

Want a do or die moment? Give the player the special LBs to use as they do in other solo duties. That works great, it's there on the hot bar for the player to think to use or not. You get a great special effect to watch instead of having your eyes glaze over staring at a grey button next to a bar.
