This has to stop.

And you know what else is funny? Hilarious even. EVERYONE and their mother, cried and whined about the lack of story and development from 1.0, yet now, with a new story, and updated development to experience, people wanna skip cutscenes..... Seriously???

And this is why we queued as 4 people, 2 tanks and 2 healers and watched every cutscene when we did our storylines. They had to either suck it up, cry about it or leave.

Dick move? Sure. But seeing as people don't really care about how I want to play, neither will I about how they want to play (though back when we did speed runs with sub 8 people we always let the other watch cutscenes because why not).

[PEANUT]

I personally think a simple solution would be this. People, for example, who have YET to beat a dungeon should only be able to party with people who have YET to beat the dungeon. In this case the game should force EVERYONE to watch the cutscenes and start at the same time(of course this should be different if you make your own party, I am talking about using the DF). And then people who HAVE beaten a dungeon and are just running it again, the game should auto-skip the cutscenes.

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

Maybe the are NOW because there are less new players, but everyone and their mommas wanted to watch cutscenes the first time they did dungeons 2-3 months ago.

Because making 7 other people stand around for a total of like 20 minutes while you watch cutscenes that you can watch elsewhere is totaly not being a prick either....nope not at all

or like people said make your own group... duty finder is not for speed runs... get a clue. such clueless idiots on this game that think the world revolves around them.

on topic: cut scene intensive story should be relegated to single player duties. I think SE made the wrong decision with CM and praetorium.

I agree with you, when it was my first time doing it I was forced to skip it too and they were very unwelcome to new comer as well. Never have I experience such terrible people and communities. Do one thing wrong and they would rage quit.

It going to be even worst when Vote Kick is in place. They gonna Vote Kick people who watch cut scene.

I doubt this will be a problem, I'm sure I remember them saying they were adding some sort of party board to DF where you check things like "Watching cutscenes", "Speedruns only" etc. So you will be matched with people who want the same.

[SinisterJoint]

at the end of the day, my position on this stands pretty simple. Want to watch the cutscenes? watch them. To the speedrunners whining... tough.... get over it because I already did when I entered the instance.

Archer/Bard.

I'm watching the cut-scenes the first time I see them.

I'll never cross the purple 'do not cross' line until I see everyone has finished watching cut-scenes.

Don't like it? Leave
Can run it without me? Cool, I'll wait outside the fight but I'm still needing on the gear that drops if I need it.
Get angry and curse spewing foul language? Don't care, you can't call me anything worse than any of my ex's have so I just chuckle.

I know I'm good at my class. I don't need your acceptance to be able to sleep at night.

Maybe I'll go make a sandwich after I'm done with the cut-scene if you're really trying to be a prick. First person to leave is the only one that gets the penalty lol.

Make babies with me? Beautiful catgirl babies?
