Disabled player help

[CKNovel]

Hi I'm unsure what you mean regarding healing and blu self destruct. I havent been playing the game a very long time.i also see responses to you about players being bad at the game and only assume these are directed to me. Being disabled isn't about being bad at something.

This is a signature, it's not exactly targeted at you, it will be posted after every of his message.
Nobody thinks you're bad.

Any level only concerns you as games are never designed for disabled. Since they're many minorities, it's a headhache, a complex and extremely challenging feat to satisfy 100% of the playerbase.
But tools to ease the disability do exist and are the best solutions for both the players and development teams.

I sympathize.


That being said, and whilst I can't wholly relate; I understand this doesn't directly solve the underlying issue if you're having significant distress in attempting these puzzles due to disabilities, then there is no harm in trying to ask friends to help you out with the puzzles, be it something like self-destructing (Self-destruct spell which kills you) on BLU into a resurrection so that they can resurrect you further up the jumping puzzle, or even trying an attempt across several hours or multiple days so that you aren't doing the movements for an expended period of times. You can spend some time just prior to finishing off for the evening, then resuming your attempt when you log in the first thing until you're unable to pursue any further, then repeat again at night and daily until you finish it.

Blue mage is a job. It has a skill called self destruct. You can use it in city states to kill yourself. Your friend (a healer) can then climb the tower so far and throw you a raise. You raise to their spot on the tower. Rinse and repeat aaaaaaaall the way to the top.

Or as said get the free wedding package, marry a friend. Then use the wedding ring that has a built in teleport to your partner, to teleport to their location at the top of the tower.

Your then free to repeat the tower if you want to do it legit, to your hearts content without the stress of failing since you’ve already got the objective

Otherwise just take your time. If it takes 3 hours let it take 3 hours. Don’t push yourself and don’t rush it. Take a break between jumps and ideally if you have to stand on a peg till morning so be it. I find it easier to climb during day hours so if I’m on it over night I just wait the night out or use sun minion for some light on tricky jumps.

Thank you for the advice. I do think I have a blu but haven't done anything with it yet. Focused mostly on crafting and gathering and my blm. But I did marry my rl partner and carer in game so that's worth an idea for sure. Thank you again.

It's common for people to avoid the difficulty of these with raise tricks. Even without disabilities a lot of people find it too hard. If you wait in Kugane for enough days/weeks or visit some other world's Kugane, you will eventually see someone get onto it and offer to bring people up.

If you have trouble with a lot of others as well, someone may offer to help if you ask around, or you could offer a gil reward of 1 million or so for someone who helps you with all of them. The gil may take some work to get, but what you get for it is forever.

I find the game on the most part to be calm and easy due to reasonable gcd and no crazy button pressing.

Although macros are not normally recommended for fighting, when you have a disability they may be helpful and if they avoid pain and other symptoms then it's a fair reason.

An example of some negative feedback i have received by players is using a macro to say "hello, im new" at the start of a duty and told im not authentic for doing so regardless of using them because they help with my disabilities, so please understand my hesitancy in posting this.

I type the exact same word at the start of every dungeon. Nobody even comments on it. On some data centers I use the auto-translate { Hello! } because multiple languages are spoken. Perhaps you could use that because multiple languages are spoken on your world.

It's also not necessary to say you are new because this becomes clear from the bonus, cut scene watching and the sprout icon if you still have it, but you could use the auto-translate phrase { This is my first time here. }.

To auto-translate, begin typing the phrase then press tab. You can put these into macros. Nobody should attack you for it because for all they know you don't speak the same language.

The player who didn't feel it was authentic was expressing their opinion, but that opinion isn't very reasonable given the context of you having a disability.

If there are any other things you find difficult you could ask us about those in case we have some ideas.

Thank you for that. Theyre entitled to the opinion of course and I tried to explain that I use it because of disability, but they literally said they don't care if im disabled its still not authentic. So yes it wasn't fun. Thanks for the help

Do not take this the wrong way. Do not bother telling people you are disabled. Most players are so awful you probably will fly under the radar if the content gets cleared. Pointing it out just makes it more noticeable. Far easier to tell random players quietly judge ya then to point out you are then run the risk of getting told you should / try x y or x. Just my personal opinion cause normally people ignore poor play in general content and just complain in fc or disord.

I don't think you need to bring up that you're disabled after posting a macro. If someone reacts badly to the macro like that, then they've got issues of their own. I can honestly say I've never, ever seen anyone react like that to a "hello, I'm new", macro or otherwise. Not to say it couldn't happen, just that I've never personally seen it. And I've seen a lot of things. Just shrug and move on with your day. They aren't worth your time getting upset over. Even so, I sympathize with your limitations. I've got some of my own, though they usually (but not always) don't interfere with how I play.

Hi sorry, I hadn't brought it up in that way. I clicked the macro that says exactly "Hey, im new, please bear with me and let me know mechs". They then said to not use macros as it isnt authentic. I explained that I used them for this reason, because I think whilst yes everyone is allowed opinion, often times people don't see things from others perspective. That's it really, im not ashamed of my disability and if it helps me explain why I do something then I will definitely tell someone, as it gives everyone level footing.
