Please Reconsider MSQ Changes

[Krotoan]

Designing a roulette in a way that makes people not want to do it is already able to be seen as terrible design. Yes, I can't just not do it. Yes I understand I'm not held at gunpoint to do MS roulette. I'm not saying people are forced to queue, I'm saying it's bad to force people to watch a bunch of cutscenes every time.

Also, yes, I do babysit. The toddler never pays attention to the television anyways so we just put it on Paw Patrol and leave it alone for the day. Every now and again he'll look but not exactly pay attention.

You're not getting it then. You're not forced to queue, so you're not forced to watch the cutscenes. You can choose to not queue at all and watch no cutscenes.

Also: weird, most of the kids I watch like particular shows and specific parts of those shows and will watch them indefinitely. But they're older than toddlers so maybe there's the difference.

It didn't warn you about cutscene skippers because every dungeon before Cast and Prae let you skip already. And no I'm not saying, "DUR HUR LET IT SKIP IT ALL BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANNA DO DUNGEON!" I'm saying now it's inconsistent. Now there are cutscenes with the "this take a while" warning that are shorter than Prae's forced watching. You'd think you'd want to mention that to your player since 15 minutes was considered long enough in other cases to net a warning.

Also, my "45 minutes later" was not the queue time. I never stated how long the queue would go, but since you want some information... I do level alts. Removing any skip potion characters from the list, I believe I've put about 5 through the story. The tank queue during prime time with a PLD was 11 minutes for Castrum. So already double what you said for your example. And I'm going to use the tank example because that was in 4.1, so just a little bit before these changes. And the changes no matter what will make less queue, so... that would get even longer.

Your personal example is not anymore valid than the ones in this thread stating instant queues. You're also stating queue for a particular instance and not the roulette. The fact you don't want to bother with the story on alts means others have to run a high risk of not seeing the story properly on their mains?
And there are inconsistencies all the way through the dungeons and cutscenes. They don't explain you can actually leave the trial areas and queue later, they change the cutscene/dungeon dynamic drastically after ARR. These are all things that need to be addressed and I won't argue that, but your arguments for reverting to a newbie hostile system don't justify the cost to me and you have a solid way to avoid most of your own complaints.
