This has to stop.

if you're too weak to not watch the cutscenes when you want to then you deserve to miss them.
who the hell gets 'bullied' in an MMORPG, these players made a choice to skip them, no one can force them.
Also the CM cutscenes are crap and there is pretty much no story in them anyways.

[ZakarnRosewood]

Sorry about the luck of whoever I run my first dungeon with. I WILL be watching the cutscenes. I will also be patient when others do so. Its called common courtesy.

If you want speed runs, then you only need 1 tank and 1 healer, 2 at most. In DF it pairs you with 2 tanks instead, which is useless.

Do yourself a favour, don't do DF if you want to speed run, because using DF to speed run is in no way logical.

I don't understand why people are so angry over this. SE is to blame. Where is the best place to run for tomes to get Darklight the fastest? CM. The place with 45 minutes of cut scenes. So on one hand I understand its not fair to rush people through cut scenes, but its not fair to punish the people that are farming for gear either. Sometimes our FC has to pug one or two, but instead of complaining that we are ruining your in-game immersion, how about you just enjoy the 20 minute CM run and go back to the inn and rewatch at your convenience? Stop getting mad at players who are trying to push through end game in a mind numbing place, and start putting the blame were it should lay, directly in SE's lap for being so short sited with end game gear.

And SE, please for the love of god either give us a skip all button, or give us a better place to farm tomes in. Someone didnt think this one through.

No, they aren't. I understand that personal responsibility is not really popular these days, but no one is forced to bully other players. If you want a speed run, find some like-minded friends, and have your speed run. I think a big part of the problem is that people are willing to bully other players over the issue are also the same sort of people who have difficulty making friends in the game.

Yes SE force people to behave in a vile manner in an attempt to stop people from watching cut scenes on their first run of a dungeon.
What stopped these people from suggesting in the forums that it would be nice to have extra choices in dungeon finder before starting to act like jerks?

All those cutscenes are in the inn. Use the menu to select duty and then you can look at them.

I stand corrected, all cutscenes, are indeed, available at the inn. While it is a nice alternative it still doesn't create the immersion that watching them when you are going through the dungeon for the first time does, makes the dungeon really feel epic for people that want to enjoy their game's story, especially the Praetorium ones.

[Crica]

not a damned thing players can do if a cutscene is watched, therefore, watch the cutscenes if you want to

the only thing that may happen while watching a cutscene is the mobs may die before you get done

[Seig345]

I've said it in another post in another thread awhile back, and I'll say it again:

That book in the inn is for RE-living scenes from the game, it's not a Tivo or a DVR to 'catch what you missed'.

Hrm to TC's opening comment THIS WILL NEVER STOP, honestly what did you expect? most of the runs on CM are speed runs, as for the story well as someone mentioned you can watch them from your inn room, seriously though when the kick option is fully implemented then watching those cutscenes could result in a player being kicked from the party, people talk about waiting outside the boundary during a boss fight? Boom kicked, its going to be an interesting month indeed. I mean just speed run the damn thing, least then you will know how to do it, then you can be happy that you are one step closer to gearing your character when the game truely begins after completing the story.
