The pressure to skip cut-scenes!

If you are a healer or a tank you could potentially be wiping your entire party for viewing the cut scene. That's why people ask you not to do it.

I asked my most recent party not to watch the cut scenes and they all raged at me. Halfway through the dungeon they stopped watching the cut scenes because they found out that I was right.

Actually, whenever cutscenes occur mid-battle the encounter stops until the target is engaged again. So if you skip your cutscene, and then go rushing into the fight again while your party roster clearly indicates people are watching the cutscene then it's your own fault. Show some patience for goodness sake.

I'll watch every cutscene as it happens when it happens. If someone is really so concerned about having to sit through a few minutes of cutscene then they should be running pre-made parties not using the duty finder. I've run dozens of dungeons, including reruns with other players. I've got no qualms about sitting through the scenes and allowing them to watch at their leisure.

In FFXI there was a timer which started upon entering any instance which made many players skip cutscenes. I'm glad they implemented a system here which doesn't have this problem, and it's just sad to think it could be ruined because so many bigots cry over a couple of minutes of video.

I play healer so what they going to do lol

If you pay the bill for me, I would consider skipping it for your sake...

But well, you're not (not you TC). I wonder for those who urge other players to skip the scene, did they skip it the first time as well though?

I will watch my cut scene for my first time. If I see any complain, after the cut scene is finished, I will just leave the duty. I don't mind 15 minutes penalty, I could get the duty finder fast anyway since I am a tank - -



edit: simple solution to piss them out even more is to make the cut scene unskipable if there is a first timer in the duty.... this would be fun.

I always let everyone calmly watch their cutscene. Even if I've already seen it. And I like it when people do the same. I had a rant to this myself and created my own thread about it. But around that time, not many people were that far in the storyline.
On another note. Best way to farm Allagan tomes = Amdapor Keep. But most people aren't competent enough for it.

I can count to 31 using only one hand. :cool:

I usually just skip them and watch it in the inn because I don't want to waste other people's time.

BUT, I never tell people to skip them if they want to watch it, I just wait.

I guess I'm lucky because I haven't met anyone that yells at others to skip CS.

lol. This thread makes me want to rush to 50. So much fun to be had! :3

I refuse to skip any CS because I'm playing a Final Fantasy game which are based around the story. Don't like it then go on ahead without the tank and when I'm finished with my CS I can come over and laugh at you.l
