It's not per se about the lock out, but more about the _fear_ of being locked out, missing something and being pressured to hurry up when a newbie watches their cutscene and the message that the arena will lock in 15 seconds appears on the screen.

And when you tell me now that 15-20 seconds aren't that much...why not just be patient and wait?:rolleyes:

Well, something like Praetorium were changed to unskippable cutscene for this reason, hence I don't see how anyonw atching cutscene will get ban anyhow

I dont do it intentionally in dungeons but the reason is because we're impatient. That's it. There is no moral superiority to it, sometimes we're just impatient.

What I am getting from all this is that they should change things, so that the passage to a boss is entirely locked off while even a single person is in cutscene, similar how everyone is locked at the start if someone is watching the starting cutscene.

No more arguments, devs just need to put their foot down.

(At least I believe I recall these awkward moments of surprise when you're out of a CS and you realise the fight has already begun without you.)



The experience of watching a boss entrace in a dungeon vs. at the inn are completely different. At the inn it's context-less and has no impact. What makes the cutscene interesting (for those who like pre-boss cutscenes at least) it's the in-the-moment experience of meeting the boss for the first time, esp. if it's a story dungeon/story-relevant boss.

You get an indication by being told that X is sealed in 15 secs.

But yeah the lengths people go to be egotistical little shits because they can't wait 30 seconds top is astounding.
If you need a reason on why people don't want the NA players to come over, here it is.

I would argue that pulling the boss while the tank is watching a cutscene is "Aiding the enemy", an reportable offense.

How is this aiding the enemy?
Can you elaborate?

There is nothing wrong with it and I among 1000s of other players is really tired of getting same old same old all the time, courtesy given and granted at more new content, and that is it.
