Puzzle checks & disability

Judge Logan Judge Logan ✭✭

I'm curious as to how those players who, like me, have a physical disability are finding the new "puzzle piece" nanoprobe checks?

I have multiple sclerosis, so my fine motor control is very poor, and the endless failing of checks & getting booted out of the game is making this event at best frustrating, and at worst, unplayable.

I appreciate the necessity to prevent cheating, but surely there must be a way that doesn't limit the playability for those with disabilities.

I'd be interested to hear it others with similar conditions are finding it impacting them?

    Definitely impacting me.

    The checks need more leeway. Getting it in the area but not exact should be good enough to show we are not AI

    Doing perfectly every time would be more indicative of an AI, I would think.

    Hand grenade & horseshoe that thing.

    Yep. Being perfect is an indication of a bot. It's humans who have to move it, realize they are off, and then need to move it again. Plus their movements are not perfectly smooth dragging. There are slight variations in how a human behaves. That's what a modern bot check should be looking for, not perfectly placing an image.

    Just another thing that the Devs are failing at. They didn't take cheating seriously enough for too long, then overcorrected when they finally did something about it.

    Peak DB/TP/WRG/XYZ right there 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Well I can't speak for disabled people but for me who mostly plays on PC's it's horrible!
    Most of the time you can't even see the stupid hole and it needs to go in down to the mm ... that's annoying on small screens or with a mouse to get right , especially since I like thumbing the screen as it's comfortable .
    But it's in line with the well thought out and thoroughly beta tested features implementations we are used to!
