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

[Feidam]

Of course they'll remove the xp. The only reason we get so much is because you can't skip them. Seriously... they won't let you do it and get the bonus.

I don’t think people understand this or they are willfully choosing to ignore this part. Prior to the change to remove the ability to skip cut scenes the xp granted was no where near as high as it is now.

Pixies, Alliance and Main Story Roulette and I get a level a day. It's fine with me and if i wanna grind more i have other roulettes and trusts i could use to level faster. Have dragoon at 77 and ninja and monk still left to do to finish, both at 70. Not in a rush but this formula works well for me.

I did not realize how much exp the Pixies were giving me until the other day. It was like, wait, What number did that just say?!

It's been said probably every page of the thread and the OP sure as Heck wont support it. So they'll constantly keep bringing it up/ignore it/glaze over it.

I love my pixies. Trusts give a tremendous amount of xp too especially at the higher level dungeons. I used to run them once a day but my trust is fully leveled now so I'm not as motivated atm.

As long as there are bonus the answer is "NO"

So here’s how this works. Because the cutscenes are unskippable the roulette gives a much higher reward than other dungeons. If the cutscenes are skippable, that bonus goes away. If there is an option for skipping the scenes if no new players are present, people will ditch groups that don’t have new players to requeue to get the bigger bonus. Some people already do this if they get Castrum instead of Prae since Prae has a larger bonus for being a longer dungeon. If they for some reason keep the bonus but let all vet groups skip the cutscenes, you’ll have players bailing when a new player is in the group so they can get their bonus faster.

If this were to ever work, it’d have to be the vote option if no new players are present, or maybe even just automatically skip them if no new players are present. However, to prevent/discourage people from just bailing to requeue, entering the dungeon uses up your daily roulette bonus. You don’t get the bonus till you beat the dungeon as normal, but if you leave the daily roulette bonus is used up and you miss out for the day.

Short of making it a solo instance, which of course means No One gets Any roulette bonus, I think that’s the only way to make skippable cutscenes work.

You are right they do, but I also know people banned for doing it. SE does take action. At some point your luck will run out.

I must be lucky but I skip every time I run MSQ, and people always follow suit each time. Granted I also do not say anything in chat about what I am doing, so maybe that is why.

I have no idea what that person is talking about, skipping is nowhere near as rampant as they claim. I've been running msq roulette on my alt daily and have seen maybe one person cutscene skip, and promptly behave the rest of the run when multiple people said they would report them.

As I said I can only speak for my encounters but I skip each and every time and sure people claim they have reported me, but I do not respond and keep doing it. So far no action has been taken against me. Granted I do not spam them I run them for the daily skip the cutscenes. Though also might be because I often play as a tank or healer so maybe people are more likely to skip when they see someone that can keep them alive is also doing it.

They say they are going to report you but considering what a minor pain the reporting is no one propably actually does it and people say it works but i don't believe them. Maybe you're not getting kicked is because you, like everyone like you have friends/FC members covering each other. After all, when you have 3-4 friends with you the kick will propably be rejected and of course, tank or healer to make getting kicked even less likely as everyone knows the obvious of course. Lucky indeed, Hah!

Nah, I would not put my friends though MSQ willingly. That is cruel and unusual punishment. Though as i said I do often play tank or healer so I agree people are less likely to boot those roles.

I agree that my experience differs from others, might be the data center, time or many other factors dependent. Nevertheless, I can only speak from my own experience, and have yet to be removed from it though I also rarely queue for dps for msq since I would be at the mercy if the tank or healer.

Lol hard to Mongo the boss as a dps without help even in MSQ. Maybe I am crazy but when I first ran them before the change I was stuck in a literal loop of cut scenes after the magiktech mech ride along part. I was bummed at first since I missed the fights but did it again soon after and they fights were kind of meh tbh. Turns out I did not miss much, that is what gets me. The fights are basic to the core, they trash pulls leading up to the boss require me button presses at times. ( exaggeration)
