Constantly kicked for watching cutscenes

[ispano]

Some are not watchable in the inn.

If it's skippable, yes it is watchable. The ONLY "CS" i've found that's not in the inn is the part after Garuda Extreme where the two Ascians are talking to each other. You also cannot skip that.

However, kicking someone for watching the cutscenes, assuming they're not sitting in it to troll, is abuse of the system.

Only story cs you can't watch in the inn is ending scenes in the preatorium after you beat the final boss.

Incorrect. They're all available but under duty instead of main story.

^ this is correct! So you can watch all the cool cutscenes of Praetorium at your own leisure

Watch them later in your inn room. People generally don't want to cater to your "first time immersive experience."

Like the guy said above, a lot of them can't be seen in the inn.

I just find the whole idea that I have to choose between watching the story or pissing off the people in my party to be a horrendous design choice on SE's part. How did they ever think this was a good idea?

The only place where it becomes a problem I've noticed is in CM/Prae for people using the roulette, because the places are LOADED with cutscenes, and long ones at that. The last Prae run I did, one of our tanks was new and watched the entire cutscene following the second Ultima fight, and missed the ENTIRE BATTLE with Laha. He was still watching the same one after we downed him.

And for the record all of those are watchable at the inn, all except the last one are under the Duty tab, the last one is in Main Scenario. And before people jump on me for being insensitive to new people and 'ruining the experience', I skipped through all the cutscenes on my first run through CM and Prae. Yes, I was bummed about it, and no, it didn't feel the same watching them back at the inn, but standing where I do now and looking back, I realize it was considerate to those I partied with because those two dungeons are nauseatingly long enough already without having to stop and wait for the cutscenes. Odds are when they run it a few more times for tomes they'll be singing the same tune.

And how would you do it differently. You need a party to get in the dungeon scoo I dunno an alternative.

Why would you play an Online game with others that is known for Cutscenes and then say something like this??? I would do like the first person said that responded and report them for abuse. If you dont want to play well with others then stay the hell inside.

To be fair, the game isnt really "known" for cutscenes in group content, outside of CM/Praetorium. You could make an argument that they are there for the 4 man dungeons that are needed for story, but they change after the first time you go through the dungeon, they dont repeat like CM/Prae.

I disagree. If you intentionally queue up for a "story" dungeon or story roulette, you don't go become one of those assholes who vote people out for watching cut scenes. And at least have the decency to wait for them to start a boss fight.

At OP, if you enter any story instance, I would recommend announcing you watch cut scenes right at the beginning so that folks have a heads up. If they're gonna be douches and vote you out then, then at least it's before stuff gets started.
