History: For the past 10+ Years myself and a few others have been writing Sequences/Macros for the GSE Addon to help the hundred’s or thousands of Disabled Members in our community play the game - People with Traumatic Brain Injuries / Missing Arms / Missing fingers / Cognitive problems and more …
Before: The War Within Launch this worked via the GSE Addon compiling macros and sending the macros to Blizzard to executing them - 1 button press = 1 action.
After: The War Within Launch many things changed with SecureActionButton and the GSE Addon was rewritten to conform to the new SATB set forth. It now works via macrotext sends the macrotext to Blizzard to executing them - 1 button press = 1 action.
Execution of /castsequences resets=[##/target/combat/alt/shift/ctrl]:
The way we do this in TWW after the SATB Changes is to CALL to the players in-game macrobook from inside the GSE Addon sequence using a single macroblock and the macroname because /castsequences resets=[##/target/combat/alt/shift/ctrl] doesn’t work via macrotext - 1 button press = 1 action.
The issue here is we have lost the ability to use /castsequence reset= [##/target/combat/alt/shift/ctrl] in macrotext and/or within an in-game macros now.
I’m asking that this be fixed so /castsequence reset=[##/target/combat/alt/shift/ctrl] works both in macrotext and in-game macros properly. These tools have been in place for 20 years and are intentionally / unintentionally being removed from the game without documentation of the changes.
I’m a big fan of macros thanks to an injury. If it weren’t for GSE Community providing said macros, I would not have a good experience playing due to lower DPS. I rely on macros to help my quality of life with regards to putting out DPS high enough that bad things catch on fire.
I have a hand injury from about 15 years ago and without /castsequence I wouldnt be able to play this game that I have enjoyed since BC. Please address this issue.
Please please please fix this blizzard! Without GSE the game is hard for me to play now. I’ve got neuropathy from type two diabetes in my hands. As a result I can no longer play this game at the level I did when I was younger. But GSE allows me to play the game comfortably.
I have Supported this game since launch day, now having sever hand damage I had to stop playing for a while until I found this addon. it has helped me get back into the game and be able to enjoy it again. please Blizzard restore this so that I can continue to play.
They don’t always document under-the-cover changes. Changes to the macro system in particular are kept quiet if done deliberately, because the #1 reason is automation security.
If they did this to make bots authors’ lives harder, you’ll never see it in patch notes.
