Party Rushing as I Watch Cutscenes

[Tsubaki_Blackstar]

I was fairly upset about this too.. I was told to watch cutscenes later, which I watched the first cutscene and was locked out of the first boss, so I skipped the others, hoping to fill it all in at the inn later. Only to find that the stuff i skipped wasnt at the inn...

Everything is at the inn the problem is that it's not in the quest but in the duty list of the cutscenes.

And I have ran these with FC and others to wait with the cutscenes for people - to experience it all. Because frankly if you do skip them you lose the meaning of the dungeons. But I've also timed them a few times and CM isn't that much of a prob. It's like 5 minutes of cutscenes - nobody should have a problem with that. The problem comes in Prae which has about 30 minutes of cutscenes. So to experience it the best is get FC or use the PF to get people that can spend the time helping you out. Most people you get in DF at this point in time are there for the quick exp and have probably ran these for the billionth time.

Orl, I had the exact same issue when I got to the end of 2.0 A Realm Reborn. Ppl told me to watch it at the inn. I ended up watching it there and missed 90% of the fighting. It sucked, but I didn't want to miss the story and skip the cut scenes.

After reading this, I know that when I reach higher level I will watch all cutscenes the first time through a dungeon. If people want to kill stuff without me, then great! I fell in love with this game because of the storylines.

I watch them generally. If there is a CS i haven't seen then I just tell them i'm gonna watch these because they are new to me. Ive never gotten more then a git gud noob comment. Which im ok with.

Most people aren't that bad. If you try and ask them nicely at the start of the dungeon, explaining you're new and you'd like to watch the cutscenes, most groups will wait for you. Unless they're all complete jerks.

When there are at least 2 new people in it, I always make an effort to convince the party to make it a "story run", as in, waiting for the new people to finish watching the cutscenes before rushing off to the next fight.
Some people turn on cutscene viewing too and rewatch it and are usually pretty happy to relive the experience they first had when it all started.
But I also had people leave over it, because they couldn't be bothered to spend more than 10 minutes in the dungeon..=_=°
Just try and ask nicely and hope you get people who aren't complete jerks.

The only real solution to this problem is to catch up with the bulk of the players. When close to everyone is new to the content, nearly everyone is watching the cutscenes so no one can rush off and start fighting on their own :x
But that's a long term goal so don't stress over it and just go at your own pace and ask people to wait for you. There ARE a lot of nice players, they often just go along with the rushers unless asked otherwise.

Just move on. It's not a problem past those 2 dungeons.

I have yet to hear of someone being lucky enough to have a large enough majority of nice people to actually force the rest of the group to wait. Every report I have heard is you are getting thrown to the wolves. There may be a couple nice people but the content is so easy to clear that the impatient people don't need them either. It sucks. You can either not participate in fights and just watch all the cut scenes from your starting position as everything dies without you, or you can skip the cut scenes and watch at the inn. It sucks, but SE learned their lesson and designed later dungeons differently so this is the only time you will have this problem.

The only way you will get to watch cut scenes is if you find some nice people to go in with you. If you have a FC, try asking them. If you aren't in an FC, this may be a good time to find one. With the new undersized party rules, 3-5 level 60 people could go in with you and clear, so you don't have to get 7 more people like you used to.

The level 60 dungeon (or was it the trial?) has a not-so-short cutscene in the middle of the fight.
I wish SE hadn't done it that way. I was fortunate to have a second player doing it for the first time as well so it wasn't a big deal to watch it. The content still being new to many helps but I wish they would tell the story differently.
