Speed-running cut-scene skippers...

[Nayto]

After doing CM just for the story. I think I'll wait until they implement some better source of tomestones for the ADHD fishes to burn themselves out on. Unless this is SE's way of getting you used to being a cog on a well oiled machine of speed-runs.. that isn't working out nicely.

I spoil the ending for people who make me wait.

There will be better gear next year making your 40+ hours of farming moot? I already knew that.

Why are you even playing an MMO in the first place? Go read a book or watch a movie.

Because I like adventurers... don't you? Should get out of that fish tank that is AK... heard Sastasha will be the best place to farm Mythos come Christmas.

You seem to be neglecting the RPG part of MMORPG.

There's a special place in hell for people like you.
Seriously, SE should just permaban douchebags like you. We don't need your kind in an MMORPG.

I'll be sure if I ever see you to blacklist you and then make you wait extra long.

The barrier must be bugged cause i remember in Beta when that barrier would not move and inch until everyone had watched the cutscene. If the barrier still works like that then i dont see the issue here i mean its not like they can force you to move and get out of the cut scene and if they dont wanna wat for you to finish watching it then let them get themselves killed. I would as for insults and stuff like that you do know there is a blacklist right? you know you add their name to your mostly likely growing list of annoying users and bam you cant see what they are typing anymore. Sriously complaining about their complaints when you could be ignoring them i just dont get it.

Ponder this.. two versions of each dungeon and an incentive for the older players to help the new.

Castrum (Non Story Mode)
Tombs: 100
Cutscenes are removed.

Castrum (Story Mode)
Tombs: 100 (first timers) 150 (everyone else)
Cutscenes are present, walls are put up until everyone has finished cutscenes. Queue will only pop with at least 2 newcomers to prevent farming, we have this put in place for an exp boost... so why not a tombs boost.

Great idea ! I think this is similar to GW2 where each dungeon has story mode and non-story mode with different distribution of rewards.

For starters, if you're speed running CM for tomes you are about a month behind the times. Prae is 10 minutes faster regardless of gear and is far less painful to speed run as half of it is boss rush.

If you use DF you need to have zero expectations of your party. DF is for lazy people or as a last resort and you are basically saying "I do not care who is in my group, I just want a full group". If you have any expectations you need to shout for a party and agree on conditions together. It is not a matter of etiquette it is simply what is and isn't possible in an anonymous, random group.

Almost all of my speed runs are premade, they have to be since a speed-run party wouldn't even be able to queue you only use one tank and a healer. If there are not enough people around, usually in off-peak times then we might just go normal composition and DF the last guy. We don't expect them to do anything, we will only queue if we can carry the fight which is absolutely trivial in Prae anyway so whoever we get we're steamrolling through the whole thing and they can do whatever they want. If they have a problem with that then too bad, it's DF you have to play with the hand you're dealt.

If this is not the intention of square they need to do something about it, there is no consequence for speed-running so that is a passive OK from the higher powers.
