We've had so many threads with the same argument.
They're not going to change it back. It's for new players' benefit, so they can experience the whole dungeon and not be dragged through by roulette olayers who skip the cutscenes and leave them behind.
The rewards are set to compensate you for your time, so there's no way they'd revert it without also removing the rewards. -

I would at least like an exp boost to them.
Right now it’s faster to run two (or three!) trusts dungeons than do the MSQ roulette with bonus. -

They don't like to tinker with their old code, and there's no option to apply different versions of scenes to different players. -
08-18-2019, 12:05 PMElkanahI did also notice this. The % just needs a bit of an increase. Maybe 5% more? 15% more maybe?Quote:

I love the way it is right now. Don't bother helping with it if you don't like it. Also like people have said if they remove the cutscenes they'll remove the rewards.

I get your argument, but even when i did it the first time it was a really bad experience, the worst thing is that the cut-scene start mid fight, or you run 10 meters and another cut-scene starts, they last about 4 or 5 times as long as the actual fights and it feels like it breaks the entire flow of the game.
It's like you have 5 minutes of gameplay and 20 minutes of cutscenes.
People just rush through not killing anything and the new players are left behind not understanding whats going on, i even died because i didn't understand everyone was using a teleporter not killing any trash on the way.
Those bad guys just keep talking and talking and then they just die super easily, without any challenge before you even see what they do, they are dead already, Especially Nero is the worst.
It just creates a really pathetic presentation of the "finale" of this arc.
I think the whole thing needs a rework, it is just not enjoyable content, new player or not, the amount of exp you get as compensation doesn't change that problem. -

A lot of games have offered a vote to skip feature in video games. Has this option be suggested? Seems like an easy fix of there's a "Vote To Skip Cutscene" option..

It is how it is, maybe not from your fault but ppl didnt care for new players, so they got what they deseved, the reward is high for the time spent, if its shorter it gets cut. If you dont like it, dont run it. No ifs and buts.

I get you not being able to skip the cutcenes with new players doing them but SRYLY every time .... hell no....... i am not doing them anymore

Just rework these 2 Dungeons into single player instances. First timers wont mind the scenes and it would feel much more epic for them to solo the ultima weapon.

08-19-2019, 08:48 PMFrizzeWelcome to the group that i think(but have no actual idea of the stats) includes most of us. I have run this roulette precisely 0 times since the change was made ages ago to forced cutscenes. If a friend new to the game asks me to bring them through the instance unsynced i will(and have for 2 friends), but otherwise i stay as far away from there as possible. As to your question/point Elorum of what happens to new players when veterans dont run this type of content, the answer is nothing happens. The devs track how many people que for this(and all the others) roulette, and if they feel that the number has gone down too much and the experience is suffering for newer players then theyll tweak the rewards for the roulette to try and attract more ques. At this point i think theyve upped the reward 3 times, and the current level has been steady for more then a year indicating that they probly found some point of relative equilibrium. So you and me get to be happy not to have to run this, and the people satisfied with the exp and tomes get their reward.Quote:
