MSQ Roulette Cutscene Skip

[Alistaire]

It is because alot of players who had already seen the MSQ were forcing new players to skip thier scenes, kicking the ones who didnt for being "afk", Yelling at first timers to hurry up and watch them in the inn!!,

Then they should have dealt with that. Act on people getting reported for that, not punish everyone else, including new people who don't mind skipping anyway.

Voting won’t help if over half the team are veteran players, but I do agree more MSQ dungeon like those last dungeon of MSQ can be place into MSQ and adjust the reward according to the length of the dungeon

Sure it would. Just make it so that it only takes one dissenting to vote to make the cutscenes unskippable. Voting doesn't always have to be majority rules.

I'd be okay with a "skip MSQ" toggle. If all party members have it toggled, they can run it with lower rewards and skip the MSQ cinematics. However, trying to purposely sidestep what was built in is definitely bad.


I actually appreciated it when they first did it, as I never got to actually watch the cutscenes. Now? I'd rather skip them if the entire party has seen them and agrees to skip.

Simple solution add a vote skip cutscenes to the MSQ and if you vote skip you get a standard experience point reward/

if there is a new player you do not skip at all.

Why are people still complaining about this? This is a change that happened last year. It's simple: if you don't like it don't queue for MSQ Roulette.

This is the type of toxicity that takes the fun away from this game. Let new players enjoy the end of ARR, or don't queue in. I haven't queued since they made this change because I don't care to sit through the cutscenes, but now that I'm leveling up again I'll probably do it from time to time because it's insane exp.

It's about the same time as going through Orbonne and nobody complains about that.

I'm not complaining about being forced to watch cutscenes (as I agree with you).

What I don't like dealing with are the toxic people that are trying to get the group to do an exploit so they can skip the cutscenes.

People fail to understand that this happened exacly because the majority of players were pushing new ones to go forward everytime.

And now, by using that exploit, it could lead to something even worse, like "if you DC in MSQ dungeons, you get kicked out automatically" or something silly like that. (I am exaggerating for the sake of the image, I know something like that wouldn't happen).

Sadly, if we can't skip cutscenes now, it's some of the community's fault for rushing throught it and pushing new players to complain. I personally don't really care about sitting throught the cutscenes, I just alt+tab and look at other stuff in the meanwhile. Yeah it's a tad annoying but not the end of the world... If you sign up for MSQ roulette, you should know it'll take a while. Grab a book or your phone and there you go c:

I completely agree

SE should really adjust the MSQ instances so that if you try to do this skip, it just forces you to sit through all the cutscenes you have missed. That'd stop the exploit dead in it's tracks, as all disconnecting would do is slow down your progress through the instance.

Voting will not help it will just result in the original issue people harassing the person who did not agree to skip. It was not only the harassment that was the issue, people were defeating bosses before new players were even out of the CS. This was really the only logical solution. People need to understand that they queued up for MSQ roulette you knew what you were getting into when you opened your duty finder. If you dont like the wait then dont do it get your xp elsewhere. It's easy xp at the cost of your patience, my suggestion is to grab a snack or something and prepare for your downtime.

simple solution:

put in a system that detects people who are doing the instance for their first time. If theres no one in, skip becomes avaible. If they are, skip is unabled.
