Mysty Meadows.1425 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 This is really weird, I have played gw2 off and on since launch. Never had a problem. Now after a hour or so in POF I feel dizzy, nauseated, all the symptons of motion sickness. Anyone else? If so how have you dealt with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneYenShort.3189 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Look away from time to time to refocus your eyes.take a break from time to time.Ginger. (yes, chew on the root, or find some ginger candies or ginger beer. American "ginger ale" is more soda than ginger and won't do much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysty Meadows.1425 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 Ty for the suggestions, I have cut down my play time (drastically) and when in game I only use my mount when I have to. This seems to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockhead Magee.3092 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The mounts - especially the skimmer do that to me. Which is why I don't use the mounts unless I absolutely have to. Terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 It's interesting, since there is no kind of "bobbing" while you are riding a mount. The camera always remains focused. Only upon using the space bar you will get a certain motion (depending on the mount). Maybe it's the speed. People who are not used to fast paced gaming (like ego shooters, for instance) might get motion sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysty Meadows.1425 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 I am really trying to work through it, but to be honest, I sit down and get that feeling of "Okay, here we go .." and I'm playing less and less. Coupled with feeling frustrated about mounts in general, trying for mps and needing mounts to get them and ugh... Sorry to whine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zneeser.5072 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I just used a sand portal for the first time...Oh...My...Gawd...That road... I do not know what direction it is going. When I think it is going straight it is curved and when I think it is curved it seems traight... Maybe it is both?I have a really hard time following it. I feel drunk when I look at my screen. It is so hard to walk on that path. That constant movement...I wish I could turn the motion of that path off. It is really bad. I do not want to go back in there :anguished: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DebraKadabra.5278 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Ginger and peppermint help, but what I've found to be more helpful is to focus directly in front of your character and not on your character (as many of us are so used to doing). It really helps with motion sickness issues, especially on the Skimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysty Meadows.1425 Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Things seem to be ok. I was able to complete "Night of Fires" with no issues, but to be fair, no use of mounts lolmy current settings:http://i63.tinypic.com/2cynz3k.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintpixie.7398 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I've felt that way once, but it was on a Heart of Thorns map where you have to go to the bottom by these ruins that were uneven, and there were all the moving vines around.I solved the problem by taking a break and not going back down there.Maybe your monitor is too bright? I sometimes can only play a shorter time on snowy or desert maps because it's too bright.I also played Bells of Wintersday so much last year my eye started twitching.All of these problems were solved by moderation.

Batelle.1680 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I've been having motion sickness issues, both related to mount movements and stuff like quicksand and waterfalls. I had to take a couple hours off after doing the Jackal heart in particular. It gets better once you've become accustomed to how the mounts move- there's less distance between what your brain expects and what it gets- but it can definitely be rough.

Ramoth.5162 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 The skimmer Isn't as bad for me as it is a bit similar to gliding. The bunny can get a bit erratic which makes me have to pull away from the computer for a bit. The roads that the jackal ports onto are a nightmare. I have no sense of actually where my toon is, and the shifting road actually gets my body attempting to turn with it, which doesn't help the situation. I mostly have to remember they simply do not react well to key turning. Since that is how I play, I have to take that into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't play with focus on my character -- not because of motion sickness but because my surroundings are always of importance. I don't know how anyone could play with their eyes on their character all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffball.8307 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I wonder -- not knowing much about the subject -- if you can condition this weakness out of yourself. Kind of like how the military eliminates the fear of heights via exposure.Again, I don't know anything about this so calm the hell down if I'm wrong, but if it's an opportunity to get it out of your system that would be awesome.

Silmar Alech.4305 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 The military approach is to eliminate such problems by force. They force its subjects into exposure and they hopefully adapt. Some adapt, some keep getting ill, and it's not a pleasant experience at all.A game is different: you play a game for pleasure. It's no pleasure to be forced into a condition where you feel uncomfortable or even ill. Motion sickness makes you feel very ill, trust me.So a game cannot expect its players to adapt by force. This would be very rude to the players. A player can choose his game, a soldier cannot choose his military training.The problem with the current situation is that the motion sickness condition just appeared with the mounts. It was not there before. So players who don't want to loose their 5 year account with all its achievements and all connections to the ingame friends are somewhat forced to try to adapt. And in my opinion that is rude to these players. If that condition were present at the start of the game, for example like in many 1st person shooters, that would be no problem. Players with motion sickness would pass to the next game, ignoring GW2. But now, all the motion sickness people with their established accounts are forced to adapt or forced to leave their accounts or forced to get sick.

I have no idea if it's possible, but it would be a fantastic side benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everywhere else you can happily traverse the landscape using your normal routines. On top if this, is it even all the mounts? I cant imagine the bunny gives you motion sickness for e.g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silmar Alech.4305 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Back to topic: Meanwhile I bought PoF due to the positive feedback from the community. I found the configuration to disable camera roll for mounts (which was not there in the beta, as far as I remember), and to my surprise I experienced no motion sickness even after 5 hours playing in PoF with the raptor. And I widened the FoV as much as possible. It appears that the camera is much less moving and rotating back and forth as in the beta, which made me feel as being on a rolling boat I cannot navigate right. Getting up and down don't make me sick either.With this kind of movement, it is really a joy running and jumping with the raptor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidKami.2867 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Check your settings. Make sure motion blur is off. I was sick from the beta, but I'm fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamy Lu.3865 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Dears, in case this helps, I had opened a thread to provide some hints working for me. See at that link: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/4628/motion-sickness-a-few-tricks#latestFurthermore, for me, the main two tricks are really savers:Not to watch at dismounting (I can bear it a few times, but after that, I just close my eyes), and on the raptor, watch away when stopping (to avoid seeing the side sliding).Not to fight on mounts.With that, I manage very much OK. One remark: The jackal does not make me sick. The springer - that I use only to jump - does not make me sick if I take care not to turn around too much. The raptor is OK as said above. The skimmer is the killer out of the 4, due to all the drifting effects. I cannot tell for the Griffon, I have none for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
