People kicking new players for watching cs's.....just stupid.

Yea normally if i was doing one of the story line quests, I will tell the newbies to go ahead and watch the cutscenes. I'm normally main tanking it for a friend anyway (otherwise I wouldn't be doing the dungeon anyway). If people want to speed run for myth or something, they are better off doing hunts or something else anyway.

Why are veteran players even doing these missions anyway? This is like the bottom of the barrel for getting myth.

SE should just remove the myth reward. Then these cutscene watchers can wait 3 hours in DF to gather a group of cutscene watchers and complain about that instead.

I'm losing faith in this community slowly. It was NEVER like this in the 1.0 version............

Heya ^^

I competely agree with you.

And my reply was more about: up to this day only you start losing faith in the Community.

I wanted to say kudos to your resistance up to now, as mine faded away a long time ago.

Mindless (not efficient) myth + a big chunk of i49ish spiritbond. That's why I do, anyway.

Yeah, i do agree with op. I am not doing the two dungeons that much anymore, but when i do it and there is a newbie who watches cutscenes, i always wait for him and show him the correct way. And i stop healing and let people die if they want to kick a newbie out of these dungeons.

Party finder is just useless in this situation. At this point of the story, you pretty much for sure never tried the pf so far and so on, you dont even know that it has a checkbox for "Full story run with all cinematics". And just in case a newbie has knowledge about this, it would take his entire day to fill a full 8 man group. So stop saying that newbies should use party finder. Thats just ridiculous and will never work.

When it comes to CA you are never missing anything by watching cutscenes, except killin trash mobs. While you do have to sprint up to the group it's a short and easy run. Your experience in the dungeon is not effected, nor is the partys. Preatorium is different it has 2-4 min long cutscenes before every boss, that directly relate to the boss fight. The first boss doesn't count since it's no real story. And the second Ultima is designed so new people bc an watch the cutscene while Ultima is invincible by the time the cutscene finishes, yes the fight Is going but you miss nothing

There isn't a single in-dungeon cutscene in Castrum or Praetorium that can't be viewed in the inn. They're located in the Duties category and not Main Scenario. The only difference between watching them in the dungeon or in the inn is who shows up in the cutscene with you. Some scenes will show your party members behind you (who don't do anything anyway, so big whoop) if you're grouped.

Oh really...? Then how come the Castrum has only 1 cutscene listed which is merely the intro? It misses several cutscenes, including the destruction of the shield and several with Cid. And then there's the Praetorium, which has the intro CS... and three cutscenes which follow AFTER the events of the mission.

You don't even get to see the awesome Ultima cutscene in the Inn for crying out loud! So, tell me again how there isn't a single in-dungeon cutscene which can't be viewed. It humours me.

There's 2 different categories, split between scenario and dungeon (duties). They are all in there. Try looking with your eyes before posting.

They are not there. You don't even get to do the dialog with Gaius. You do not get all the cutscenes in the inn.

Right now, the surefire way to deal with the speed runner in CM or Prae, is to have 2 tanks or 2 healers join the 1st-timer. One of the WHM in my FC never tanks, but leveled up a PLD to 50 specifically to do CM and Prae and to put a stop to people abusing 1st-timer. When a new FC member needs CM or Prae, he'd go there with one of our other tanks or healer and put a stop to any nonsense about watching stuff in in the inn.

Wonder if it would be easy to put an SR(Speed Run) option in DF ...you don't want to meet new player just click on SR(Speed Run) and you''ll be divided to not end up with those and maybe the SR option cancel all Cutscene... BUT good luck with the waiting time

Since they have the option you can click to join a game already started i'm sure they could add the SR(Speed Run) option
