Bring back unskippable cutscenes.

Ever have this happen at start of the duty. It is showing the opening cutscene and you have one watching it dc and can't leave the circle till they completely disconnect. There should be no cutscenes in duties. Only before you enter and when you're leaving the duty.

How about instead make the pointlessly unskippable opening cutscene in Praetorium skippable.

BINGO, and this is what I predicted would be said in this topic.

Obvious troll was obvious, and we actually took 3 pages for somebody to fall for the bait!

What bait? You didn’t bait anyone, and someone with a different view is not necessarily a troll.

Praetorium used to be completely skippable before all the cry bullying happened. I understand why they made it unskippable as it has actual story and dialogue in the duty. However, the opening cutscene is way to long for what it is; arriving at the duty. The same event that happens at every duty. But longer this time. Why? To see Biggs and Wedge? Big whoop

Keep claiming bait when there is none. Discussion is valid

I dislike unskippable cutscenes, especially in MSQ. The parts where you have to talk to each person in first person mode and if you pic the wrong dialogue you have to start over the whole cutscene. Horrible design.

In dungeons and raids the only 2 I avoid are the one dungeons where you cannot skip cutscenes at all. Really bad design.

The reversal where they tried to make it sound like I was trolling and setting out bait that nobody took was quite nice. Quite silly as my other post was quite clear.

Topic exists to get somebody to take a certain stance, that stance will then cause fighting.

Person A says "thing"
Person B says "thing in reply" ... but that reply is a topic that ALWAYS becomes a troll fight.

Did A troll? Did B Troll? Can't prove either, but now the topic is a riot.

It's an amusing meta shift in trolling on here lately. Instead of making the fight themselves, they instead setup a trap for folks to stumble into.

No. It’s an attempt to dismiss a discussion by claiming a win where there is no winner or loser. It’s an attempt to derail instead of addressing the topic.

It’s the equivalent of “I win because I changed the rules. Get baited kid”. Throwing out claims instead of counter points.

Discussion is about cutscenes needing to become unskippable. Counter point is cutscenes aren’t that grand and people aren’t missing much.

Your participation is “I win because”

/slow clap

Nope. Nope. Nope.

We all pay a sub so no one is more important actually. You sit here insulting people but then spout idiotic things that make you seem foolish .They dont lose anything by not doing the first 5% of the boss so they can sit there and watch the cutscene.
