Cannot Compute: a construct 7 thread

[Vero_Amethtyst]

for start off, do not reply to this thread if you are just going to belittle me by saying "its simple math blah blah blah" or "get gud" this thread is for those who legit have a issue for the fight to show theres alot of us who simply can't do it

okay i do no think this math mechanic is acceptable, for people with some sorta thinking disability this mechanic is far too difficult and stressful for people who have some sort of disability and leaves me feeling pretty awful about myself after doing the raid and i am sure i'm not the only one, i've tried a chart and 10 seconds isn't enough time to figure it out, it puts pressure on me and i kinda lock up like i did back when i used to go to school

this mechanic needs to change or be removed and we should never see a mechanic like this in the game again

please vote by posting in this thread and liking my comment, this is not acceptable SE, why you do dis?

Agreed, it's rough for some people especially with all the other garbage going on.

I agree that this isn't right, while I dont mind mathemathics for core game mechanics & gameplay roots for stats, I on the opposite side dont like mathemathics, in an active game like this I think its a low blow.

Okay so I never did this fight before, but I did look up a Youtube video...


You are working with single numbers and you are told to either divide by 3, 4, or 5 or make your number a Prime Number and there's four numbers (1 through 4).

Obviously, the primes are 1, 7 and 11.

Divide by 3:

3, 6, 9, 12

Divide by 4:

4, 8, 12

Divide by 5:

5, 10

It's...... really that simple.

When he applies your debuff, look down at your number. You have about 3 seconds before he tells you what he wants.

When he goes "Divide by..."

Subtract your HP from the next highest divisible. That's all you need to do.

For example if he says "Divide by 5" and you have HP of 7... you need to go to 10. 10-7=3. Jump in the #3 circle. He gives you nearly 10 seconds to do this.

Surely you can work out a single digit number in ~13 seconds? You can do half of the calculation before he even tells you what to do. In fact, you can start on the calculations before he says what he wants:

Example: Your HP is 4.

Divide by 3? I need to step on 2 (4+2=6)
Divide by 4? Don't step on anything.
Divide by 5? I need to step on 1 (4+1=5)
Prime? I need to step on 3 (4+3=7)

I could probably do half of that before he tells me what he wants.

Does failing it even kill you? All I’ve seen it do is drop your HP a little further but in the end you still rely on your healers to heal you up before he AoEs. I think the only thing you miss is a damage buff, and even that hardly matters cause all his other AoE nonsense is likely to kill you.

I believe you take more damage from the raid buster from what I have observed you can still survive if you are healed to full hp. If i see someone that failed the mechanics i use a buff on them Palisade.

Might be simple
But everyones brain works differently
Some can't get it right away and it might even make them feel bad they cant get it.

Your in a 24 man raid situation and your one of the only ones to fail the "simple" mechanic how does that make you feel.
Its disheartening for some...

Is just simple 1 digit math.... And before anyone says "but i have to dodge or do other stuff while doing math so is too hard" please stop, you can literally stop dpsing and just do the math. Im no genius i just count with my fingers

Are you serious? By your logic every single boss should just be a punching bag that takes no action at all because there's always going to be someone with a disability that makes it hard for them to cope with mechanics.

Agreed, it's rough for some people especially with all the other garbage going on.

What other garbage? For the entirety of the calculation phase the boss literally does nothing but stand there. There's no healing to be done, no AoEs to dodge, and there's no DPS check that means you can't break off and go stand in the proper circle for a moment.

If you feel bad for feeling like you're getting belittled for struggling with the math mechanic
Just remember, the majority's brains stop working when it comes to Sweep the Leg. :P

Basically, sure this mechanic might be simple to some people but that doesn't apply for everyone. There will be some who struggle with this, but I'm sure that there are people who always have at least one mechanic they really struggle with. I get that it's pretty hard, but I don't think it means the mechanic should be taken out.
