People not waiting for other people to finish cutscenes....why?

[SannaR]

Yay this topic again. Most people wait. So the whole waaaa no one waits even to me a person who runs roulettes so often I tend to be lucky enough to see most of the bad behavior don't see this happening as often as the OP tries to make it seem like it is. Also by the light of the crystal let's not have them treat it like the two MSQ dungeons. That'll make it worse as the devs would have to give a big enough incentive to redo dungeons for anyone who's already gone and done them for the one time via their going through the MSQ.

People right now are most likely being impatient because we're so close to EW's launch. Trying to get everything they want to get done before early release. Also it's not as bad as it was when starting the boss fight meant after the arena was locked the person(people) who were watching the CS would be locked out.

Why you care if ones start a battle when your in a cutscene. It doesn't affect you from watching them. It be ok with me if once the cutscene was over so was the battle done with. That make it easier on me.

[...]unfortunately there are some people out there who are simply incredibly selfish and no amount of requests for patience or consideration will reach them. It doesn't matter how great or how little the length of the cutscene is, they are just unwilling to play nice with others as a matter of personal policy. They do not care.[...]

Goes both ways: Selfish for wanting to continue, and selfish for having others wait.

I wouldn't mind if they already started it... well except for the part that I rarely replay as dps - horrid queue times. With the long cutscenes, like for the 4-player primals, I feel kind of bad to have others being locked, when I want to rewatch it again as part of replaying the MSQ.
Not like anyone joins a roulette for waiting around, but for the rewards.

Most instances have cutscenes under 10 seconds and aren't an issue. The key word being most.

Toto-rak? You bet I'm going to pull regardless of what role I am. Stone Vigil? Absolutely. It is not my fault that 8 year old content has 5+ minute cutscenes. As for Alliance Raids, if your tanks and healers are ready, there's no reason to delay. 1 person does not get to hold up 7, or in that case 23 other people. As special as the NieR raids are with their pre-final boss cutscenes, Bunker and Tower have gateway bosses that lead into an already unskippable cutscene for the true final boss. So you know that I'm not waiting to pull beforehand.

The actual solution to this problem is to keep cutscenes within instances short and to a minimum. The longer, drawn out stuff can wait until after the dungeon/raid.

I can’t fault you for this. It’s the game’s failure these dungeons are designed this way, and I’m not going to blame a player for playing around poor content. It’s going to negatively impact some players’ enjoyment of the game, but that’s Square’s fault.

Does anyone have new material anymore, or are people just content to cycle through the same inflammatory talking points ad nauseum?

I swear we literally had this exact same thread like a month or two ago.

Endwalker really can't come fast enough.

I swear I saw a thread with this exact headline in the not too distant past.

It has become more prevalent these days, with the current influx of people who are..shall we say...lacking on both manners and patience.

The only time more recently I made a push to pull before the lone cutscener was because we had only 22 minutes left for the last fight in Dal, and I had saw the previous fight had taken 24 minutes.

We cleared with 1 minute left, and just me and a few people alive.

So it's really a balancing of does it matter if we wait, or we go now, or no one clears at all.

As a fairly new player, I *hate* the design of this. I want to watch the movies, but I also know that most groups won't wait, so I skip them frequently and miss out on some cool lore.

This is an example of something that didn't age well in the game and thankfully they don't do near as many cutscenes now when it would require other players to wait for the viewer.

JFC that must’ve been a scuffed Dalriada then, most of the times that fight takes at most 10 minutes.

What was passive about it?
