ACT is parsing something like "O hallowed moon, take fire and scorch my foes!" into "Dynamo > Thermo", without any player in the party needing to be able to understand or read the mechanics actual telegraph. Someone who has benefited from shotcalling in UCOB may not be able to tell the difference, but the experience of the person actually calling the quotes is very different with and without ACT.
I’m aware of how the Nael triggers work, but I still don’t see how it would be considered “cheating” but someone shot-calling in Discord is not. People who do not translate and process the quotes fast enough have already failed the mechanic because the reaction time is incredibly short, and not everyone can process at the same speed. When UCoB released, most groups used the triggers because it was too cumbersome to read a chat log message or chat bubble. Especially the old quotes that were not nearly as straight forward as the ones the devs changed them to in ShB.
