always bare in mind, that this is a free game. games like judgement day, alien outback, and even some of the side scroller games which require the centering of sounds are also unplayable by people with hearing problems. this is a free game, so i feel that we should not compremise the game by having to put in target solution sounds which in my opinion may spoil the skill element of the game for most players. i think there are other more important bugs to be fixed before we can talking about the hearing aid factor. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Bartlett" <themusicalbre...@gmail.com> To: "'Johnny Tai'" <johnnyti...@shaw.ca>; "'Gamers Discussion list'" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2011 10:49 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] swamp

I must respectfully and vehemently disagree. We should not conflate the hearing challenge (which is absolutely a legitimate problem) with lack of skill in the game. Let's work on a technical solution for the former and the latter will (or to my way of thinking should) take care of itself. That would do an injustice to those who have put in the time to become more skillful. I'm certainly not the top player, in part because while I play to win, I'm also playing to test which means deliberately pushing the system to see if it breaks. But I have picked up some skill by dying a lot. So let's have optional settings for those with hearing issues that provide an alternate sighting system that isn't something I have to use but provides a fair accommodation. Let us not allow frustration to cause a dumbing down of this cool game. If it were mine to choose, death would be absolute and you'd start zeroed out. I see a compromise in losing equipment but keeping reputation, though if experience isn't lost, then eventually everyone is going to be level 5, whether or not they are skilled players.
