For The Love Of God Please Add Skip Cut Scene To The Story Dungeons

[Xatsh]

It use to be like that.

New players were in the starting cutscenes of the dungeon when people were clearing the run which forced them to skip the main story. So they forcefully made everyone watch cutscenes based on alot of people asking for it on the forums and such. They also increased the XP exponentially.

Are you sure? You said in your last post that only the roulette had cutscenes.

Only the dungeons in the Main Scenario Roulette (Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium) have unskippable cutscenes. Those are the only two in the game that force you to watch the cutscenes, and as payment for that you get a ridiculous amount of experience.

That being said, you could run the highest dungeon available to you twice in the time you run the MSQ roulette once, and get comparable exp. So doing the MSQ is not required, and doing the dungeons is not required after the first time.

This, the change was made because people were harassing newbies out of experiencing the story and while not everyone might have necessarily cared about it at the time it happened to enough people to create some pretty heavy backlash. Particularly since there was at least one cutscene - and a very important one with Gaius on the elevator - that could not be viewed from your inn room at the time. So people who were forced to skip that scene were essentially out of luck back then.

To the dev team's credit however those two instances are the ONLY instances in the entire game like that however, and they fundamentally changed how they designed dungeons going forward to ensure that that problem never happened again. Nowadays most cutscenes are saved for the end of the dungeon so no one is caught having to wait on anyone or vice versa.

You're really boasting that you afked the whole time and been carried? Cause the cutscenes are long, but not THAT long to do all the things you listed, so in between there were a few fights you've been carried through. Good job, parties really need to start kicking afkers more.
And for the rest, others already explained.

(Something something can’t skip cutscenes in MSQ dungeons)

You don't have to do the msq roulette you know...

Its not just the MSQ roulette that is like that.

No other dungeons lock you in cutscenes.

Just finished Castrum Meridianum and doing The Praetorium right now. All locked in cutscenes.

Yeah, those are literally the only 2 dungeons that do that, and are the only ones in MSQ roulette.

I lol’d way more than I should have at this whole exchange.

I really feel like they need to do something about these dungeons at this point, like making them squadron/trust enabled so they're soloable.

They're the main reason I dread doing mentor roulette; even moreso then EX trials because they're so easy at this point that there's nothing to even really teach people, plus you don't get any bonuses if you aren't using the MSQ roulette specifically.

Oh, this again.

If/when they “fix” these dungeons I’ll miss the big daily exp bonus for running them.

I would be surprised if they dont adress this with their ARR-rework that we'll be getting with the next patch - personally I hope they'll be turned into solo instances with the MSQ roulette disappearing alltogether. Cant wait for the same people who are complaining now about "cutscenes are to long" about "but muh exp!!!"
