Forced cutscenes in solo MSQ???!!!

So today noticed I can now queue for places like Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium as undersized, yay! But...no skippable cutscenes even for undersized? Come on. >< Give me the option to skip them please, I don't wanna be watching 1 hour long cutscenes when soloing a dungeon thank you very much.

Well you only need to do them once for the MSQ then you never need to touch then again, but after doing this why would you be doing them solo anyway? The only real benefit of running these duties several times is for the Roulette rewards so what else is there?

I don't think a skippable version even exists in the game now. It's the same rewatching it at the inn.

I assume there is no "choice" function possible - there's one version of the cutscene, set to be skippable or not, and that's it.

Poetics my friend, although I can farm them faster from other dungeons that don't have forced cutscenes.

It wouldn't be 300 Poetics if they were skippable. It would be as before.

If you need to farm Poetics, Aetherochemical Research Facility is your best bet after you do roulettes. Very few cutscenes and only 50 less Poetics than Castrum/Prae. And as MrMagic noted, the high number of Poetics is because the cutscenes are unskippable; if they changed that back, the rewards would be much lower.

Fair enough.

And what do you know...0 poetics after all that from both Praetorium and ARF. I could've sworn the other dungeons gave poetics each time I solo'd them. A little warning I'd get nothing at all when unsynced would be nice.

Unsynced means you won't get any rewards. Only first time bonus will get you some rewards for the current content, but that's as far as it goes. Which is why people don't level unsynced (because you can't) and mostly just for the quick clear to help others with it.

Isn't the 300 poetic bonus only applied if using the roulette anyway?

Yes, the roul is 300 poetics (plus other tomestone rewards if at level cap), while the instances themselves give 200 poetics. That means 500 poetics for a roul run. And if you get a bonus, that's an extra 100 on top of that. So 500 - 600 poetics.
