Hello,
I'm a software developer reaching my 40s that have played a lot of video games (especially MMOs). My hand are getting very injured ... :neutral:
It feels like MMOs are getting more and more demanding on the hands.
Example:
- In DaoC you could queue your spell and have a stick command to automatically follow the enemy
- In WoW Vanilla, there were a non-reduceable 1.5s GCD, and you had to take a drink break between pulls
- In WoW today, the GCD can come down to almost 1s, and when going to Mythic+ it's a almost continuous pull for the whole run (~30min) where you have to spam abilities from the 1st pull to the last boss
It's almost becoming a health hazard :disappointed:
I'm not asking for the game to become casual/easy, but to have alternative or mechanics to chill :
- Have a break between pull to have some rest
- Have a decent controller support to switch setting when grinding / exploring / gathering
- Have a minimum GCD (maybe not for all spells)
- Have a rotation where the main goal isn't spamming. Missing/being late on a GCD shouldn't be worst than casting the wrong spell
- Be able to have a more passive build that is less efficient but more chill, and make it not too hard to change it
PS: If you have any tips to take care of our hand / wrist it's welcome :smile:
