Some programs really make this game better without giving an edge.

We all know about the Bard tool that I think is neat, but one other tool that I talked a friend into using, being he is disable like myself, but far worse. That is...

Voice Attack. and it is pretty neat.


It pretty much lets you use your voice to hit a key for you. I find it slower than my muscle memory myself. It really is a god send for people like him who can put his offense and defense cooldowns on it, and that saves him some button presses. That adds up, in longer gaming sessions.


It took me a long time to find something to help him, and I tested it myself. It is pretty fun, but I made the mistake to name my defensive key moves after famous anime stuff. And my nephew heard me yell Bankai 3 times because I have a classical southern accent and I've not trained windows 10 to understand me.. So it not only sounded funny to him, but alexa kept saying. Sorry I don't know that. So I can't use it.

I do callouts for my FC, and one of the players needs me to shout ARM'S LENGTH whenever I call it's time to pop knickknacks immunity.
I wonder if software like this wouldn't hear me shout the callout over Discord and have all of their systems automatically hit Arm's Length for them...

That would be very neat. From a former raid leader point of view. That could be kinda fun, yell out and the program hears you and everyone does a defensive. I know many raid fights when I call out for cds and people don't use them. Lol

Though, then you'd have the problem of those players who don't have the app wanting the command shouted with enough warning to hit it normally (or, worse, at the end of the cast they just started). With only a 6s duration, you'd have to be awfully precise, so optimizing it on back-to-back immunities in the few fights that have such wouldn't then be possible. /shrug

...Regardless, I'm pretty sure someone else causing actions for your character would have more than breeched the grey area for the ToS, as one player can thus affect multiple clients.

I imagine it would also probably cause them to hit buttons when they're not ready to. I can see it causing clipping and screwing with rotations and mucking up how skills queue.
Like, there are plenty of reasons why my idea shouldn't be done... but I still wonder if it could, ya know?

One step closer to piloting.

There's a guy on twitch whose character eats an egg when the chat says 'egg'.

Main WAR be like: "Fell Cleave! Fell Cleave! Fell Cleave! Fell Cleeeeeeaaaaave!" XD

But jokes aside, does that fall under the usage of third party programs?

Nice thread.
