So sick of missing my queue because of storyline

[atxferret]

I love the storyline. I hate that I'm punished for watching it when my queue happens to pop while I'm in a long dialog. Can't it just be set up so that when I click "accept" on my dungeon finder queue, it just acts like I never talked to the NPC in the first place so that I can start the dialog over again when I get out of the dungeon?

Especially because you can't go back and view those cut scenes at the inn.

Took words right out of my mouth! Though not ALL cutscenes are covered though (i.e. ones IN dungeons such as Praetorium)

Though not ALL cutscenes are covered

The bigger issue in this regard is that not all quest dialog is in cutscenes at all, and none of the non-cutscene dialog is available later. If you're talking to an NPC when the DF queue pops, the game requires that you must complete that dialog before you can accept the duty. (Until you do, trying to click "Commence" will bring up a "You're too busy to do that" error.) The only way to enter the duty before the opportunity times out is to keep clicking Next-Next-Next-Next-Next as fast as you can to get the dialog over with quickly. And if it was part of a one-time quest, then once you do that you'll never see any of that dialog again.

The OPs suggestion would solve that problem. We need a way of exiting out of dialog other than by completing it.

Amen to that

Maybe you could, I dunno, not queue while you're doing story quests?

That's easy for a tank to say. Sometimes you're in a queue for a couple hours and you might come across a new piece of NPC dialog, not knowing how long it'll take.

Unless your assumption is everyone should be level 50 by now and/or do research on every quest dialog before you talk to the NPC. For example, sometimes people just want to start a quest and finish it later. But instead of the quick and easy "accept a leve" system, they're treated to a 30 minute long NPC cutscene

Yep, because I certainly didn't want to continue the story while waiting for my 30 minute roulette queue to pop.

Want to enjoy the storyline? There's a video for that.


Just kidding btw, it would be nice if you could exit then restart the dialog.

Just leave the pop up hanging there, finish reading the text very quickly, then click commence if it has not timed out already. In the case of cutscenes, just about all of them in the whole game can be watched again, you just need to be aware that the book in the inn room is divided into different categories and look properly for the one you want.
