DEVS - Please allow cutscenes to not even be loaded/auto-skipped

[Blaste]

Just to explain something, if it is in fact a speed run in a place such as Prae then that 3-5 seconds can seriously screw someone over, especially if you fall behind when mobs are being trained by the tank, if you fall to far behind all agro might switch onto you, and you'd get left behind, personally I would like to see an option to turn cutscenes off as well as an option to select Speed run from the duty finder, that way when you are buckled down for a speed run you know you are getting just that in case you have to pug it.

After checking on this concern with the event planner, the team confirmed they're looking into an option to suspend the display of cutscenes for events like taking an airship.
Likewise the development team is also looking into the possibility of this option for dungeon cutscenes.

We don't have a specific date when this will be implemented but we'll update you when more information is available.

Airships pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I really hate airship loadings..
Purchase ticket > loading > Enter in area > enter airship > loading > cutscene > loading > cutscene arriving > loading > enter in area - exit area > loading > arrived destination.

I really prefer to pay 500+ gil for teleport than paying 200 for airship and taking hours to arrive at destination bc of loadings

So.. what happens to playres that DO WANT to watch Cutscenes? ]Are you going to FORCE them to skip it?

Then watch them. If they did add this I'm sure it will be an option in the Config Menu.

Also I don't think it really matters anymore cause the main place's where CSs were a problem was Castrum/Praet runs and now that WP has 100 phil tome and can be done faster than prate I don't see why anyone cares now.

Best thing about the "Hotfix" we shouldn't have to see any more threads about people crying cause they are being rushed to get out of CS's Cause Castrum/prate aren't that great to grind now for tomes.

FYI I never cared who does and who doesn't watch CS long as you didn't leech.

100 times this. Now that WP is worth running having to watch the Cutscenes in a story instance shouldn't be that big of a deal.

Also you wouldn't happen to be Arki from WoW Turalyon and know Chop And Spork?

[Heather]

to be honest I don't think this should happen, those whom like the cut scenes will be hassled for watching them. to be honest it is the timer that is the issue, the timer should automatically stop when
1. when some or all are watching the cut scenes.
2. if a member leaves or is dced.

[Rogziel]

There should be an option prior for signing up for the run to avoid team with players who insist on watching every cutscene. Some do it just to troll.

Or the option to team with people who have adult attention spans and can suffer the WHOLE 30 SECONDS it takes for someone to watch a cut scene. Some of us use this time to go grab a beer from the fridge.

Nope sorry not that person.

No this needs to happen because playing on PS3 the 8-10sec delay from getting out of a CS is real annoying and I'm not playing on PC for that reason. And the option to skip CS's should only be able to be used once you have cleared a dungeon, So if it's your first time then you can watch or skip manually.

1.) I disagree with you that the timer should stop if someone is in a CS, Because if someone has to AFK and a CS pops then the rest of the party has to wait for them to come back. 99% of the time most groups can carry 1-2 ppl that are afk. I've done AK with 3 ppl cause the other DD had to afk and they never came back after the 1st boss
Now a leech on the other hand that needs attention cause it is a problem.

2.) I do agree with you that if a member DCs or leaves that the timer should be stopped because if your tank or healer is gone then your screwed. I can't think of any Dungeon I have ever done where the timer was an issue maybe Stone Vigil but even then there was plenty of time.

I haven't used the airship since I was able to teleport, but I do like the animations when I take the airship.

well me too
i set my favorite places to 3 main cities and the teleport cost is the same as airship ticket
you can even get it cheaper with FC buff
