dungeons and motion sickness

[HoneyBiscuit]

As for resolution, I play at the minimum settings with all spell effects off (because flashing light particles also seem to give me vertigo). The screen size I run at is 1200x720 and 30 hz.

If it is a CRT monitor the problem might be alleviated with a better monitor. CRTs flicker at refresh rates lower than around 45 and have been known to cause some motion sickness when viewing (along with eyestrain and headaches). And I too can vouch for that as I have pretty intense motion sickness, and I got sick all the time playing games before I upgraded my system. See if you could possibly find a friend with a better monitor who would be willing to let you try one in an attempt to isolate your problem, before you consider spending money on it.

I think you misunderstood my post, it is you who is being rude.

No, I did not misunderstand your post.

I deal with handicapped, TRUELY handicapped people every day, people who struggle making it to the grocery store, cannot drive a car, have to make sure the bus they plan to take is wheelchair accessible. These are ADLs they have trouble getting done, essential daily activities. So you are saying, someone is handicapped because they get sick while playing a video game. Really?

So special snowflake here needs the game fixed to accomodate her, thats cool. They do it fine, they dont do it, does not really matter.

I find it hard someone with such a venomous attitude works with the disabled on purpose. Is that it then? The OP's problem's aren't severe enough for you to offer an ounce of compassion? Your only suggestion is to quit playing.

I imagine a kid who loved art losing both of his arms but, he's not giving up on it. Suddenly you burst through the door all high and mighty, not an impairment in the world, to tear up his latest attempt at what he loves, only to tell him to quit because he can't do it anymore. People do what they like to do. If something stands in their way they will try to find a way to keep doing it. It's human nature, so whatever you're trying to do (get the OP to quit? IDK) is not going to help. And your presence here serves no purpose but to impede everyone.

I am fairly sure that the platform you fight leviathan on will not be in motion, so it should seem much more anchored then the turn 4 elevator. There will, however, be waves around the platform. It seems to me that it shouldn't be the same effect. If however it does make you kind of ill, maybe you could train your mind by focusing on the horizon between wipes? (this helps tremendously with real life sea sickness.)

Let's step back a sec....

There is a huge difference between someone being able to function in daily life due to a handicap and someone simply being able to play a video game due to a condition.

I'm guessing that Merlinian is simply finding it distasteful, and offensive, to have the two people equally classified as handicapped. Which I can kind of understand, that's like being in a hospital room with a seriously ill not-going-to-make-it sick person...having a cold, sneezing a few times, wiping your dose and then turning to someone else in the room and saying (loud enough for the sick person to hear)...uggh, I feel like I'm dying.

To the OP, I am truly sorry you're having an issue enjoying the game. Do what you can to find a fix/ workaround and present your case to SE, maybe they can implement something that addresses these types of issues. However, I would not expect them to change anything if it contradicts their vision for this game.

I would be inclined to believe you, but the sour attitude exists (going so far as to even admit being rude to the OP) before their apparent disdain for likening the OP's issue to the problems of more severely disabled people. All their posts have been insensitive, and offered nothing to the thread. Threads like these exist to bring attention to issues people are facing. They deserve to be able to make those things known, and they should be allowed to hope a change to help them would come about from it.

Using your example (even though it's extreme and makes it sound way worse than it is) it would be like walking into that hospital room and telling that dying person to give up they're already dead. Instead of showing some sensitivity to their situation and trying to offer even a base form of help, they've settled on, "No you should not be getting any special treatment or accommodations." Without even giving a reason as to why they shouldn't. Furthering my point by calling the OP a special little snowflake who thinks they're entitled to something for literally no reason. It's really unnecessary, and again offers nothing to the thread.

I am fairly sure that the platform you fight leviathan on will not be in motion, so it should seem much more anchored then the turn 4 elevator. There will, however, be waves around the platform. It seems to me that it shouldn't be the same effect. If however it does make you kind of ill, maybe you could train your mind by focusing on the horizon between wipes?

While I don't think the boat will be moving all that much, there is going to be crazy water effects and from the looks of it, Leviathan will be striking the boat, tipping it to the sides, which will be sending your character sliding across it. I think that's what they are concerned with.

If that is what you feel then why did you post to this thread at the first place just to be hostile and basically say "quit playing the game lol". Your posts and especially your choice of words make it seem like you are full of hatred and you have not contributed anything to this thread, if what you said above is truly what you feel then why did you post in this thread?
