    Keybound Brawler: The Position 2 Problem

    Players seem to always be in position 2 on their screen, probably due to only wanting one intro animation. How did the testers not see this as an issue? Common sense for most players is to aim for the words of the enemies aligned with their character. Instead, because we cannot communicate with each other, and everyone is standing in the same position players end up sniping the words of others and wasting resources.

    Am I missing something?

    Edit: Maybe we should set an imagined order of our four characters alphabetically?

    I prioritize by closest or what needs interrupting. I kinda distribute it across all of them as well., especially when they are easy words.

    I'd assume people would shoot the closest ones or the ones that need interrupting, not just the ones inline with their characters...

    Yeah I always seem to be in second position. That's quite an oversight from the developers.

    As with most of DT's content this minigame seems to have a lot of "oversights". Not just the second position thing but the whole issue with letters containing umlauts or accents, and of course console players being required to spend real money to play it

    I look just like the roes next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.

    Spending money to play a game? Unheard of.

    Like others said, I just aim at whatever is nearest, if everyone is at least displaying a pulse, the minigame isn't hard enough to require coordination, and if they aren't, there isn't much to coordinate.

    I think it's a matter of having to change your attention when something pops up and what is the correct order of attention.

    I mean, if they have a PC, then they can just borrow the wired KB for it since it's just an optional event which costs $0. Also, the sub is $14, but then they can't afford a $12 KB, which is cheaper? It's time to look within themselves and ask if the monthly sub costs too much for them, imho.

    It's so funny seing gamers make fun of "you guys have phones?" and then parrot the same exact sentence unironically when FFXIV does it. This fanbase really is a cult lol.
