MSQ cutscenes - Allow vote to skip if there are no first time/new players

[raelgun]

I'm glad to hear they can't do this, but even if they could, to the OP, the entire reason the extra rewards are there is because of the unskippable cutscenes. MSQ was not nearly this rewarding prior to those being unskippable. People were being jerks to new people and it became such a problem that the cutscenes became unskippable and the rewards were increased to lure people into still doing it. So it is the new people we can thank for that roulette having those insane rewards. Which is why even if they could ever find a way to do this, they won't, because it would lead to griefing new people again. Or they would make sure the extra rewards were removed and then people would just bail anyway.

Parroting what others have said here. If you don't want to watch the cutscenes, don't run it. Get your tomes and/or experience some other way. It already goes as fast as humanly possible and you have people on different voice settings starting fights and leaving others out, so that doesn't need any further encouragement.

Most groups I'm in MST3K the hell out of the place and it's a lot of fun. Or we have the wackiest conversations. In a game that is so rush rush rush, it's nice to have one place where we can just chill and enjoy the ride.



Because you actually needed most of the people in the fight back then. Our ilevel wasn't as insane as it is now so one or two people didn't cut it. The fight couldn't start if the new person was a healer and in a cutscene. So they got pressured to skip them and watch them in the inn.

This is why you see old school people still running behind the pillars in the hallway after the elevator. We avoided the big guy and things in the hall because we couldn't just drag them into the next room and fight everything there.

The change to the MSQ was only made much later into the game, and yes I am aware of the situation back then.

People here are trying to argue the rewards are based strictly on the cutscenes when its actually more specific to the new player experience to engage in the boss fights that ensues after them.

Since the cutscenes are strictly designed with new players in mind, if there arent any, then why enforce with no options to all vets to watch the cutscenes.

I swear the FF playerbase really wants to ensure the vets struggle for no reason more then any other game.
