No more QTE please.

[Valic]

I mean we had those "press the DDR buttons" events for christmas and you saw how many people disliked that... My point isn't "you people with disabilities are being lazy" but I love how you guys shove words in my mouth. My point is, we found a way to keep going regardless instead of asking for accommodations to be made every instance we were stuck.

As I said on another discussion of this fight, the qte itself is okay, but the "all 8 must pass or you wipe" part is a bit harsh, especially when every other fight before this was "miss, you die but everyone else continues". Had a fail on a Trials Roulette run because the tank dced right when that part happened.

I think that msq content should be challenging, but mashing a button super fast or you wipe isn't "challenge".

I would say it is. Can you handle 12 seconds of keeping the gauge up? You did? Good you earned to see what comes next. You didn't? Well, try again next time, you can do it.

It's really not that bad as people make it out to be. I think the punishment is just fine to the trial's severity.

I wonder what Psycho Mantis would think of how much you play XIV.

He would call me out if I used one of those controllers that repeats the button when held down :^)

As Hatfright and RajNish said above: You are not seeing the point. We are not saying "Hand the game to us on a silver platter". There is no alternative method here. This mechanic is fail and wipe the group. The alternative would be die and don't hold back the group, let the healer rez the dead person afterwards. That's how it was in previous QTEs in FFXIV. That is what we're asking for. So we can at least continue the story. Is that really too much to ask?

Now we're being kept from finishing the story because we fail this QTE.

Back in the day was back in the day. Back in the day I didn't have the issues I have now. Now is now. Do not tell me I haven't tried when I have tried a number of times. When I die to a mechanic I keep on trying until I make it, but this one is different.

Again, I get your point but I disagree. The alternative before allows you the leniency to fail, this doesn't, and that is normal for a challenge and lord knows I felt it was rewarding upon getting beyond it. I think if you want to progress, like in any game, then you should find a way to progress through the challenge presented. Hand the controller to someone else, the keyboard, mouse, get a program that allows you to hold down your mouse button continuously on the button, stretch your fingers prior, rip the keyboard out and bang it against your table, FIND A WAY, but I think it's unreasonable that every occurance of "difficulty" people come here to whine about it. First it was the solo instances and now it's the finale of an expansion.... It never ceases. You're kept from what you want so long as you limit yourself, and on another side note... I have someone who has no way to press buttons on her keyboard to the extent this thing presents right now..I didn't do it for her either. She found a way.

Back in the day people had issues you do now too. There's no difference of then or now except that people feel so self entitled to demand change on their whims/terms when it's not to their liking or it doesn't suit them. It's so easy to complain and demand everything else change than to find an alternative method, that is what this forum fills up with the most too.

I repeat, I empathize, I get, I understand, I REALLY DO... But there is always another way to progress somehow and asking to change the standard is getting dull. If I was deaf and there was a sound based mechanic required, I wouldn't ask the game to change for my disability, I would find another way to beat the mechanic. That's my own challenge but it's also a challenge in itself without a disability. I'm sorry but I'm sick of the amount of these threads that pop up every patch, so my sympathy is draining very quickly.
