I'm sure it has been said many time before.... but...

This all would be solved by a single checkbox option: "Cutscenes Required". You can check it if you're running a dungeon for the first time, and voila -- you only get grouped with other, like minded people. Sure, your queue will probably be a bit longer? But it's the price you pay for having a group that won't leave you behind.

Agreed.

Whilst I appreciate this is sort of available in Party Finder - I had no idea PF existed until yesterday. I used it and not a soul joined (bar 1 FC), even with me /shout marketing. So something similar but assigned to you initiating the dungeon would certainly be a step in the right direction.

I think the queue would take forever. I'd go ahead and make the whole thing unskippable.

[KagatoAC]

personally I think if the "watching CS" option is selected then the damn things should be unskippable.

My first 8-man story runs, i got left out of 2 fights, nobody explained what was going on, this one tank was bitching the *whole* quest until we managed to shut him up, and my party literally killed the final boss fight during the cutscene he was introduced.


They shouldn't have been 8-man runs. At all.

[Lumiin]

But it's all about me and muh story!

/Faceplam I don't know even, I cant....

Dude you're selfish and entitled. Everyone is to play how you want them to play (Hence you trying to stop me from running runs lmfao get real) Since most of the people are at lvl cap and SE decided to add more tomes and CM/PR to dailies I can say you shouldn't touch the DF without expecting a speed run. I agree that this is/was a problem even before SE said "I know what'll fix the speed run/cs problem, LET'S ADD MORE TOMES!" /rolls eyes But that's when being a decent human comes into play.

5 people watching CS? (Idc if it's their first or 200th) we're watching CS
1 person watching CS (idc if its their first or 200th) we're going.

I'm not letting one person rush several others and I'm not letting one person slow everyone down. That's just ridiculous! You aren't special 7 other people aren't going to wait around for you which is why they continued and you're here whining.

I understand your point completely, you're point is it was your first time so everyone should have stopped and waited on you hand and foot, uh no.

[MeeDeggiThePunisher]

No, you're ridiculous. I don't care if it's 7 billion vs the 1, the new guy deserves the experience of watching the cutscenes.

SE, please, for future expansions can you not put CS in the middle of the friggin dungeon!

[Jingai]

You guys gotta get out of your single player mmo mindset. Group > individual.

How about since it's her money spent each month to PAY to PLAY, she get to play HOW SHE WANTS? If Enkidoh wants to enjoy her cut scenes then she damn well PAID to enjoy them.
"Group > Individual" my ass. When the GROUP starts paying MY monthly bill, then I'll shift my focus to them over my enjoyment.
I really can't stand people who feel they have the right to tell others HOW to play each month with their own money.

He can watch the CS! Since everyone cries about watching in the inn, whatever. Watch it in the dungeon. But if you get locked out of a boss fight oh well.

Play how you want to play in group content.

That's why I said being a decent human comes in play, everyone is so selfish. "But it's mine so I'm important and everyone should do what I want all the time!!" If that's the way they really think, why do they expect other people to play how they want?

/shudders

I love it when players use this line. Play how you want to play in group content. That's why there's a kick option. You can play like an idiot, just won't be in my group.

If you're DD and you like to play how you want to play by pulling mobs before the tank. /kick
If you're tank but you want to play like a DD /kick
If you're healer and want to play like a DD /kick

Yeah play how you want to play, just not with me I like to play how I want to play too. But who gets to decide which way to play? The group.

The issue is some players feel entitle to a single player experience in a multi-player game.

[Jingai]

I would not presume to refer to ME as an idiot sir. MY point was that if I choose to enjoy a CS, it's my f'ing money, it's my right to enjoy it. As is anyone else. When I'm in a party however, I do my job just fine, no complaints. The group doesn't decide how I play, I do what I'm suppose to so it flows how it should, NOT because I'm ordered to do anything. If that's how you run groups, I wouldn't want to play with you anyways. However, you ough'ta be more careful WHO you refer to as an idiot. I didn't judge you before, I just disagreed with people being forced to skip their CS's on the whim of someone in a hurry when they've spent good money monthly to be able to enjoy it if this choose to.
