Can we get a 2nd Calamity

Yes i am requesting a 2nd Calamity to freaking wipe out The Praetorium dungeon from existence. I just don't want to go back there again.

Good news, you can simply not do the MSQ Roulette.

Or they can remove the unskippable cutscenes when everyone in the dungeon has already seen them....OMG what a groundbreaking idea.

The rewards are boosted due to the time you spend inside the instance. If you don't like it don't do it. It is very simple. Your attitude won't change anything but I would like to see you continue to complain for entertainment purposes.

I do think they should start coding those dungeons to allow cutscene skipping if players arent new. But there's a major reason why they made those simple dungeons have large reward payouts. Its BECAUSE of that inconvenience that entices players the larger payout.

Remove that inconvenience and suddenly the meaning behind MSQ roulette's existence is gone. Now thats a debate for another day

It used to have skippable cut scenes. It led to new players getting left behind and not getting to actually play most of the climax of the ARR story. Blame players for ruining it.

If you don't want to do it then don't do it. There is nothing you get there that you can't get elsewhere, except for the story. It seems you don't want that.

sadly if they allow players to skip the cutscenes again players will go back to harrassing players to skip them again which is why that change happened in the first place.

so ONLY allow them is EVERY player has seen them, they have system that skips cutscenes you already seen, if all 4 players have seen them (like 4 people leveling alts together doing their daily dungeons) let us skip them

Just add a yes/no toggle for everyone if it says no one is new for

Would you like cutscenes for boosted rewards
yes
no

Only one person has to hit yes.

You should do that and then have people argue over who hit yes. Kweheh.

Doesn't seem to work that way. If a cut scene is flagged as unskippable, that's it. Even if you watch it in The Unending Journey in an inn room, by yourself and not in a group or in an instance, you still can't skip through it.

Besides, the only reason those dungeons have such immense rewards is because of the time investment for all of the unskippable scenes. Making them skippable again would also mean forfeiting those rewards. At that point, why bother?

You want the rewards but not the effort. We get it.

Still worth doing if you're only going to get the same reward as the 50/60/70/80 roulette when the party unanimously agrees to skip?

And what if someone doesn't agree to skip because they want the full reward?

since at this point the MSQ roulette is just 3 low level instances... why are you doing them?

seriously, why? if you are THAT tired of them stop doing them, its that simple... or are you after the rewards? as many have said, they are better there for a reason. if you want the marginally better rewards, going to have to watch the cutscenes.. sorry, price of admission.

you're the one queueing for MSQ roulette get over it and accept the cutscenese are unskippable or stop queuing for it.

They should let you skip cutscenes if your already max level because you don't need the exp. bonus. They can just make it where there is a wall where you can't attack the boss till cutscenes is over. Another thing they need to fix is why can't you skip them when your running it undersized.

Wasn't really harassment telling ppl to skip them back then. The duty was tuned for ppl wearing the initial AF gear which put them at like ilvl 45-48 at the time. So even early on if you had a bunch of ppl in tome gear even when it was just Darklight it only took 4 of the 8 members to melt the instance faster than the new person to watch cutscenes which basically just led to the new ppl watching a movie and not actually participating in the duty.

Cape Westwind was funnier. Like 5 minute CS for a boss that died in 15 seconds.

All that does it make players leave and queue later in hopes of getting three veterans next time. The community brought this upon itself.

What difference does it make if a cutscene is playing or if you are standing there waiting for it to end?

That'll lead to vote kicking sprouts to get a party comp to skip scenes.

Yup. Which will lead to depleted queues and sprouts being unable to run Prae or CM in under 40 minutes que time.

its a paradox.
people wanna be as efficient as possible. rushing through stuff to lvl up as fast as possible but if they cant rush they dont want it even if its more efficient. is it all about rushing and not efficiency?

Maybe it's just about going fast. Who likes to move at a snails pace? I don't know, simply haven't done MSQ roulette in over a year.
