There are also people who wants to rush the dungeon, I had my share of frustration of people who just keep rushing at the boss while we (new players) are watching the cutscene and the boss will be sealed from us (watching people slay a boss is not amusing to say the least).
But I was so frustrated beyond measure when I reached the last two quests, the most important of all, when I found out that people farm them with new reqruits for the 100 tomes bonus. I requested politely from the start to be allowed to watch the cutscene but to no avail, the kept rushing. Cutscenes flawing one after another not knowing why/where/who. TOTALLY WRECKED THE ENDGAME STORY!!!.
Oh and thinking of using party finder to find people to go through slow and easy, well it is rare for people to join in those so the invitation will expire and will lead to more frustration.

If you want to wait and watch cutscenes that is perfectly fine. However, you should also respect that other people want to get out of the dungeon as quickly as possible so they can do maximize their farming potential. If it weren't for those people that wanted to farm that content you may have been sitting in que even longer or stuck in pf that never gets full liked you tried. If you want to watch cutscenes either get some helpful people in your fc or friends that are willing to lend a hand (6/8 of members should be enough to prevent people from going ahead) or you just watch the cutscenes in the inn at your leisure.

People been complaining. There is nothing we can do, that's a bad game design (putting cutscenes mid-dunegons).
$E learned and they dont do it anymore in the new dungeons, they just put a timed "on-line" cutscenes that end automatically (as in, you don't control how fast it "rolls") so even those who watch can;t take more than a few seconds.
I'm not sure if you're aware but you can watch them at the inn, just throwing that in case you didn't know and missed some.
$E already replied something about the majority of the party rules so there is no panelty for doing that.
Think of it that way - if it weren't for those cutscenes skipers you'd probably wait ages for a run ( > . >
If you insist on watching mid-dungeon and not in the inn I'm afraid the only way is to Party Finder it and hope some generous players help you, that or ask in LS/FC.
Before anyone jumps, I'm not for or against, just providing him solutions, cutscene skipping are here to stay and have to deal with that. -

With my FC we made a party to watch Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium cutscenes in action. It was awesome! (Only Ultima died a lot faster than I remember :/ )

7 people wanting to go through a dungeon at an agreed pace: selfish and inconsiderate.
1 person demanding that 7 people slow down and wait for them: not selfish and inconsiderate. -

12-01-2014, 02:40 AMSacred_NymMost DF parties never communicate, so I would say in that case there is no "agreed pace" is most situations.Quote:

I'm a new player but I'm not going to take either side specifically. All I'll say is that if you join a party in DF, know what you're getting into. If you're farming then expect there to be people who want to watch the cutscenes, especially when you get the "One or more players is new to this duty" message. If you're a first-timer to the dungeon, expect that there may be people who don't want to wait for you. Both sides need to communicate what they want to do, and be able to adapt in DF. If you can't deal with that regardless of what side you're on, then contact your FC and/or use PF to find more like-minded individuals. -

Same. Just enjoy the cut scenes as best you can and then later redo the battle for the fights. Sorry they ruined your experience but it happens to everyone.

When I used to duty roulette Praetorium I'd do my best to let the new folks watch cutscenes, which worked out sometimes since I typically run as tank. I got tired of it though, especially since the impatient ones would take it out on me. Sorry you had your experience ruined, OP, I did as well, and that was near the time the game had just came out too.
I personally think the cutscenes should be forced in duty roulette. If people are queueing for duty roulette main scenario, they know exactly what they're getting themselves into. If they don't want to watch cutscenes, or wait for people that do, they shouldn't be doing the main scenario roulette in the first place. -

Kinda feel bad for new players now, only time you got a slow-paced run and got to appreciate the cutscenes together were back in Aug/Sep 2013.
-
12-01-2014, 05:48 AMHyristNot everyone. I pull a party group together to control tanks and healing for praetorium so that it cannot be forced. Typically the effort results in a full group of 8 that doesn't mind watching the cut scenes again.Quote:

A FC mate recently got to the end of the 2.0 story.
So two of us went as healers to help him through it. We did this intentionally so we would stay behind with our buddy so he can watch cutscenes and such. Without any healers the rest of the party could do minimal rushing at best. -
12-01-2014, 11:09 AMItseotleUnless you started playing back in 2.0, yea. I really feel sorry for the new players these days :(Quote:
