Please Reconsider MSQ Changes

[Joe777]

Yes, new players will be getting a lot out of this, a lot of time sitting on a queue.

You think that's any different than it is now? Because it's not. And if you think literally no one will queue to help new players out then you are wrong. There will always be people out there willing to help people get through a dungeon if they ask for help, happens all the time in Novice Network. Besides, everyone knows the hype and complaints are overdone before a new patch so watch and see, it won't be nearly as bad as you think it will be.

A few weeks ago I did these on an alt with my GF. We had a tank. The queue was 12 minutes. WITH A TANK!

Imagine how much longer it'll take once people, like you said, "notice it's not worth the time."

Not that much longer than it already does, actually.

I really dont understand the whole "Make cutscenes unskippable so newbies can enjoy them". With that mindset why make ANY cutscenes skippable then? Lets make the cutscene before normal Ifrit unskippable then (the whole damn like 15 minute long video....) so newbies can enjoy it. I know it sounds harsh but yeah.....there's the book at the inn! The ONLY thing that the player misses out on using the book is that they are the only one in the video instead of it showing like 7 other people around them. That's it. An extra 80 tomes does not "accomodate" for an extra 30-40 minutes probably that a run will take now....not to mention Im sure a lot of people will simply refuse to do them....so then you have the additional issue of increased queue times for it for the ones who HAVE to do it. Seriously, between this and some of the things with the glamour wardrobe I get the feeling that SE really isn't thinking some of the changes through for 4.2

Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium are basically the only instances in the game where you pretty much walk through a theater. In the case of cutscenes elsewhere it's mainly boss entrances and cutscenes before an instance commences, in which you're locked in a circle of light anyway.
