Allow Us to Skip Cutscenes in MSQ Roulette Again

You can complete all of these using the trust system, thus, those who want to watch the content can do so at their own pace.

I feel like this should have been changed the moment they were introduced to older content. I've literally seen sprouts complain that they cannot skip these.

You realize that doing that means they'll nerf the crap out of the exp from said roulette right?

Like, it's only worth running because of how much exp it gives.



Plus, if you don't enjoy it, just don't run it. No one's forcing you to.

Sure take the XP away, please. Heck get rid of the roulette and just put them in the leveling/trial roulettes. I can't stand getting stuck with it in a mentor roulette. I'd rather get an extreme than Prae.

So you want to be able to skip the cutscene in mentor roulette....?

Great mentor who is willing to leave the newbie behind who is watching the cutscene and take the attitude of "you should have done this with trusts"

You realize you'd still get them right?TThe whole reason the cutscenes are unskippable is because of how players like you would rush through the dungeon, leaving noobs behind and ruining their experience. If you aren't willing to do every dungeon in mentor roulette, don't do mentor roulette.

Good news! You can go into the Dust Menu, and Leave Duty for any one you get that you don't want to do.

Ah. Another garbage Burger King crown Mentor. Not that expected more. In that case, I hope they never make it unskippable. In fact, bring back the old, longer cutscenes. I so miss being so very glib.

No. That is disrespectful to leave the duty when people probably waited like 30 minutes for the queue.

Please this :>

Either grit your teeth and deal with it for the benefit of the party or take the 30 minute penalty.

I've done my 2000 mentor roulettes and that will remain your only two options. So take it as is.

MSQ roulette has no reason to exist now that there's Duty Support.

So I guess delete mentor roulette, leveling roulette, and all dungeons in the level capped roulettes that have duty support also?

I love how same people that bitch about boo hoo game ruined, now single player, what's the point, are also same people that are so insufferable and disrespectful to others they actively demand removal of multiplayer aspect aspect to not have to deal with other people who'd call out their shittiness

Nah, the MSQ roulette exists because it was difficult for players to progress through the story. That's not an issue anymore, so it is kind of pointless. The others keep queue times down. That's why they would be better with skippable cutscenes, they would fit nicely into leveling/trials.

That makes no sense. MSQ was created because people kept skipping cutscene and ruing it for sprouts. It's not an issue anymore because they can go with trusts. We can go back to skipping cutscenes like any other duty.

Duty Support is an option but I still see plenty of brand new players in instances that have Duty Support options. Some of them still want to play with real people as their first experience and they shouldn't be relegated to only a solo with NPCs experience. The idea of Duty Support is allowing for the possibility of doing things solo not forcing players into that route.

The MSQ Roulette would have to lose the exp bonus that tempts players into keeping it populated now for these players who do want this experience. So there's no reason to mess with the cutscenes. Even Prae is only 27 minutes now. That's less than a leave penalty.

People shouldn't be forced to play through duty support if they wish to progress through the story with cutscenes. At this point you are expecting to enforce and police how people interact with that content, which arguably at this point you are better off removing both of those duties from the actual duty roulette pool and transferring it into a solo instance itself.

and I am sorry but if you aren't prepared for any duty you get, then don't queue for the roulette in the first place.

Did you both forget how literally every other instance works in this game or

People might not want to use the NPCs to clear MSQ content, as strange and alien that concept is there's still plenty of people that play the MMO as an MMO so they can keep the cutscenes unskippable and let them stay that way.

It reminded me how I got into ARR relic trial as 50 lvl character with said relic step for the 1st time and got told that “unsync exists”
I sometimes don’t understand what people expect from queueing into mmo content in mmo game.

All I'm hearing is the usual I want to be a mentor but only if I get fast easy duties.

No.

(Won't elaborate, it says all there is to say.)

You can already! Just dont run MS roulette or Mentor roulette, problem solved!

No, people like you ruined my entire experience of MSQ dungeons in 2017.
I am glad that new story-goers are shielded from your attitude.

No wonder mentor got bad reputation.

My first thought was to put a hard "no" on this. I remember finishing those 2 pieces when I first started the game. I went through the cutscenes, and folks was laughing at one point, because they were so far ahead that they were in a mech. I followed with an axe as I did little damage throwing them as I tried to keep up. I didn't learn any fights whatsoever. So I avoided running it until the unskippable cutscenes were in place. So why remove them now?

However, things have changed. The last part of how we complete ARR has been readjusted. We're not running 8 man parties anymore having to do extra tasks in order to move on. We're running most of this as if it was just another regular dungeon. So I wouldn't mind if cutscenes were skippable again. After all, who in their right minds would try to force skip things with only 3 people, especially without a tank/healer? It's possible. Yet would you take the risk knowing that half of your kit is locked anyways? Just saying.

Maybe the worry is that people would get used to the shorter runs and bail if they see a first-timer? Could that be disincentivized with bonus XP/tomestones?

In the past 1st timers were either bailed, vote kicked or pressured to skip cutscenes. If they are the only reason why they can’t be skipped, then people start to leave, like what is happening in Crystal Tower right now, when people try to get smth via rlt while avoiding some scenarios they don’t want to deal with. If no 1st timers mean no bonus etc - then people will stop wanting to run those rlts. It’s no win/win till the dungeons are designed with the cutscenes in the middle like they still are

If you don't want to watch the cutscenes then don't, flip the TV or pull up a youtube video, doesn't matter, but MSQ roulette is for first timers and those cutscenes being unskippable is for them as well, so simpler solution if you don't want to watch them again is to not run MSQ, run any other roulette and stop bothering sprouts.

I just make jokes in chat as we wait for the cutscenes. Usually about the cutscenes.

Wow, what a dumpster fire this thread turned into. A lot of y'all should be ashamed of yourselves for being so rude.
