Request: Please add Alliance Raid unskippable cutscenes

this would make Alliance Roueltte gear superior to savage just because of the amount of time

Yes, that 30 seconds is going to absolutely destroy people's ability to run it.

I can't eyeroll hard enough at how absurd some of these exaggerations are.

I can't eyeroll hard enough at how absurd some of these exaggerations are.

While not half as bad as MSQ roulette, the fact remains that making cutscenes unskippable when the game itself gives you an option to skip cutscenes you've already watched is absurd. It's the pattern behind it that is worrisome more than anything.
That's before the fact that a lot of people will be actually hurt by it and could potentially even be locked out more from boss fights because of loading times. There're a lot of people who auto skip cutscenes to make up for their loading times. Forcing them to get through the cutscene and then the loading time on top of it all might just put them in higher risk of getting locked out, which is the selfsame problem we're trying to solve here. Difference is, after people watched the scene the one time, they likely won't bother with it again, but these people will be stuck with this issue every single time.

[Tridus]

yeah

Oh for sure, there's better ways to solve the underlying issue (like teleporting people in so that when the cutscene finishes for them, they're already inside the barrier). But I've had more than enough of the incessant childish exaggerated whining about how the extra 30 seconds will somehow make it intolerably long because MSQ roulette, when the two are in no way alike.

If people want to be taken seriously, they should try acting serious.
