    Just wondering...

    Before I start, let me just say I DO think this is a wonderfully, engaging and story-based game (only been playing about a month. 14 hours a day though. ). That being said, I have a bit of a quandary. I'm old, disabled, no reflexes and little to no coordination. Generally I am fine with questing and gathering/crafting. Both are awesome.

    However, due to my disabilities I am unable to do things like, "In the Dark of the Tower", MSQ and similar type quests. I'm not complaining, I would just like to have an opportunity to experience the other zones locked behind these MSQs. I only solo because in a group or raid environment I'd just be a liability to others. Not something I'd want to happen.

    All that being said I was wondering, once I reach level 90 through grinding/questing/etc., will it be easier to get through those MSQs? I know in earlier dungeons I felt quite catered to, having the "easy modes" and unrestricted settings. It made it possible even for an old fogy like myself to manage them, while still not losing any of the story.

    Anyway, any constructive suggestions would be appreciated. Again, this is not a complaint. I love the game and if I never was able to get through all the MSQ, I'd still be here. Thanks

    Level will not help so much as gear will. Being a higher level gives you access to better gear though. If you reach level 90 without being very far in the MSQ, you can buy item level 580 gear from the market board. Your gear will sync down inside duties, but it will sync to the maximum gear level allowed in the duty.

    The quest you mentioned involves doing a dungeon. You can do this dungeon with computer allies by talking to them outside of it. The gear syncs very tightly in this one and the unrestricted setting won't be available until the next expansion (which is over a year away), so I could understand having difficulty with it.

    You might find it easier on different roles. If you play a DPS, the computer allies will do all of the work for you after the first attack, but you might die during boss fights. If you play a tank, the computer allies will still do all of the work, but need to make the enemies attack you first by doing a few aoes. In a boss fight, a tank is much more likely to survive than any other role.

    You can create macros to play for you. They are not recommended except for situations like this where you are disabled. A macro can execute up to 15 commands in sequence, including attacks or tank mitigation.

    The other option is just to ask someone to help you clear the dungeons.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

    Your best shot would be doing it with party of players, especially if you play DPS it should be doable.

    If you really want to enjoy the game you will need a team, a group my friend

    You have discord? if I remember correctly there is a group of disabled players who have a discord group you should join them with a team of good friends you will really enjoy the game and I wish you that

    I would offer you my sword but I'm in Europe

    If you dont want to wait for queues or play with other players tho it would be much faster, instant queue with Trust npc if you been leveling them and play it at your own pace , even you can afk before you get auto kicked in dungeons with Trust if you need something to do (its easier to level them up now than before) i been using Trusts since shadowbringers and endwalker dungeon story and all the loots are yours if you want it for glamour lol have fun !

    I just want to thank you all for the advice. It's all great and with any luck I'll make good use of it.

    PS: Sorry I didn't respond sooner.
