QoL update for being locked in Cutscenes MAJORLY needed

[TaleraRistain]

I'm not seeing anything for them to fix. If you could change your job and accept into the duty, then you're just going to get cut off when you get pulled in anyway. And now you have to deal with your chat screens being visible so you lose immersion.

Just expect that you're probably going to have cutscenes when you quest and don't queue while you're questing unless you're willing to have to cut out of cutscenes quickly.

Being "Immersed" isn't my worry. I could careless if a chat box pops up in the bottom corner of my screen. That can happen by default just by pressing "enter". What's so difficult to propose "switch to queued role" while being in a scene or dialogue. I'd MUCH rather go back previous steps and redo a quest then skip the thing entirely.

When you get pulled in, you should automatically be switched to the job and gear you queued as When you exit the instance, the cutscene should resume from the point where it was interrupted.

I think they're just saying hey let us click commence no matter the cut scene I'm in. And just have it reset the conversation.

If you're already on the job in question and click accept, it cancels the cutscene without marking that step of questing done; when you come back out of whatever you queued into, you can restart the cutscene. If you hit Escape to cancel the cutscene and skip it, however, it marks it as done/watched and you have to go find it in the inn journal to watch it afterwards.

There is no way to manually do the first behavior (cancel cutscene) as opposed to the second (skip cutscene), which I suspect is the complaint.

Either adding a 'cancel/back out' so you can bounce and change job without losing the cutscene, or giving an 'Accept and Change Job' button while in the cutscene would address the issue.

I've been having trouble with the "accept without skipping" approach to cutscenes lately. Half the time it gives some kind of error when you try to accept the duty - something about being occupied, I think - and it will not let you do it without skipping the cutscene (or cancelling the duty queue). I'm keeping track as I come across them and might try filing it as a bug report if I get enough data about which ones do and don't let you skip.

If it's technically possible, a good solution might be to pause your place in the queue (or let you climb to #1 and then pause) while you're watching cutscenes.
