This has to stop.

Considering players interested in watching cutscenes are the great minority, it makes much more sense that they form their own group. Utilitarianism and all.

can't tell if completely naive or sarcasm.

new players have no clue that CM is a place people speed run. When they first hit 50, they continue on their story quest and Q for duty finder. This is where the story is really getting intense.

Then you have tanks chainpull and everyone ignore everything while they kill bosses and yell at them to skip cutscenes.

The people who are speedrunning know better. They have already completed the story. Go to mhro dana, 1 shout, there you go, 8 people. '

If you Q for DF, don't whine and complain based on who you get.

[Reinheart]

Oh right for the immersion.

Hey look, I'm so close to this guard he can feel my breath, but don't worry, since I'm behind him he won't notice a thing!

Oh noes, they got an assault craft! What'll we do.. oh nvm, here's a conveniently placed anti-air cannon. Yes, the story is so good and the game is so immersive, holy crap!

If I notice I'm the only new player in that run, then yes I consider it the polite thing to do to skip the cutscenes and watch them later. I don't know if they would've cared or not, since nobody really cared for me being a firsttimer, but I would consider it rude to waste the time of 7 other people. In return for the "awesome" story not being fluid and my "immersion" being broken or something, I got a fluid run with barely any mistakes. I'd say I struck a bargain there.

That's your play style, don't try to push that same play style onto others. It's the players own choice if he/she wants to skip or not.
I'm guessing, you're the type that will also start complaining if you find other watching CS huh? Wanna get together in a dungeon through DF? /grin

[Ispen]

Cutscenes are there to watch at that point in time. If SE intended otherwise, the cutscenes would ONLY be in the Inn. I have no issues waiting for other people to watch them. You shouldn't either.

Pretty much what my stance is going to be when i run CM for the first time.

[Amyas]

This makes me wanna start Queueing CM on my whm just so I can watch every CS and troll all the raging players.

Me full DL and relic +1 YEAH I never finished story hold on guise!!!!

As a side note, I still haven't seen them due to bullying. maybe now i should.

Sounds good, I think I'll go too, since I'm a War, maybe bring a healer along for the cs watching ride.

And maybe suddenly develop a reading disorder where I c a n o n l y r e a d r e a l l y r e a l l y s l o w l y.

Nope. Never complained about watching CS. Heck haven't even completed about people completely botching up runs. Still doesn't change the fact that if there's 7 people that want to get the run done and 1 person that hasn't done it before I consider it the polite thing to do to skip CS and watch them later.

Also, all the "let em play as they want" shouters are just showing how they want to be jerks by pissing off others, so yeah perhaps you should have a look at yourself first? "hey look at me, I'm gonna rewatch a CS just to piss you off!"

I understand how you may feel it's rude to other players, my wife in fact is the type that skips CS because she feels it's rude as well, so I know where you're coming from. But when using the Duty Finder there is no rules set in stone, no where in the storyline or the game did they ever tell you "you must skip the cut scenes if you're the only one new".

Again, the system was made this way, devs understand it's a problem but this is how it is right now, devs are trying to come up with solution to address this issue.

Also, how is it us being jerks? We're watching the cut scenes to enjoy Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy's all about their story and cut scenes. Come on now, you haven't played other offline Final Fantasy series? I'm not one of those people that purposely watch to annoy others, I watch cut scenes because I LOVE WATCHING THE COOL CUTSCENES, period.

No matter what point you try to make, it all comes to the same root: If you use the Duty Finder and have a new player in the group, They have the right to watch the cutscene if they want to. It's how people are reacting to this that is causing issue. And to add, the cutscenes are only 30-45 seconds long. Waiting for that player to get out of the cutscene shouldn't cause any problems, they aren't long at all. Basically, if you join the Duty Finder for Speedruns then expect new people in the party and expect people to watch cutscenes.

Re-watching cutscenes? LOL. Now anyone who watches cutscenes for the second time IF they join a speedrun, is just wasting time and deserve to be 'talked' to. But a player whom is new to the run through the Duty finder? No. No one has any right to belittle this player for watching the cutscenes.

[Lux_Rayna]

Just watch cutscenes. If speed runners want to point fingers, they can point them at SE for putting cutscenes in dungeons. Better yet, they can point it at themselves for using duty finder for speed runs. You can put a party together via shout chat. If you're too impatient to wait, you have to deal with what you get. There's nothing rude about me watching cutscenes. There's nothing rude about you wanting me to skip them. There *is* something rude about you harassing me to get what you want. Its also reportable. Deal with it or drop the duty. You're more than welcome to leave and re-queue.

I play in a speed run today and they ask everybody to skip the instance in Castrum. It was my first time there so I say sure. When I finish and look at the book at the inn room only two cut scene show. I have to do it again or watch it on youtube. So if somebody ask you to skip the instances don't listen.
