No, I will not use third party tools, the devs cleared the fight without them.

Cactpot. It’s the exact same as Discord call-outs, which are almost universally required by NA parties. So why not Cactpot? Don’t have a PC? Well, what if you didn’t have a phone to use Discord with? Not a good excuse. We can all agree that call-out are good, and Cactpot just gives us a machine version.

No, it absolutely is not.

Cactbot has a near 0ms reaction time to mechanics.
Cactbot can view information unavailable to the human client and solve some mechanics well before they are visible to the client.
Cactbot can make 8 individual callouts to 8 different people simultaneously.
Cactbot doesn't make mistakes.
Edit: I forgot cactbot also displays a visual timeline of all upcoming mechanics on your screen as well lmao.

Shotcalling is a skill that a member of your team needs to manually train and develop. Do you think it would make sense for a soccer team to have a perfect robot goalie just because "it's the same as having a really good goalie"?

So, the question is: is it okay for parties to mandate Cactpot? I say yes. And if you’ve agreed with me so far, there’s no logical reason why you wouldn’t agree here.

lmao, by who's completely arbitrary standard? Mandating a third party tool is absolutely against the ToS as defined by the company that owns and operates the game, and they can suspend your account permanently for doing so.

DBM yesterday, Cactpot today.

Blizzard officially supports addons. Square Enix doesn't.

If you had a chess tournament that allowed you to use a chess computer, it would be okay. However, It would not be okay to use a chess computer at a tournament that explicitly prohibits their use.
