The Praetorium: The Anti-Climactic Climax

[Zunde]

Hey look at this way! You got to watch the cutscenes!

I however have just suffered my sixth kick in a row trying to watch them. (Yes i know Inn blah blah. Shove it up your nose.)

[PetiteMalFleur]

I've never seen anyone kicked for watching cutscenes. I have seen people kicked for wanting to pull while people are in the CS. Every other time the group just clears everything while the new people watch everything.

This dungeon was not designed to be farmed with 30 minutes of cutscenes. Yet SE has it part of the roulette to earn precious myth for endgame gear. Don't blame that on players who don't want to spend an extra 10+ hours a week in a dungeon that can be done in 20 minutes.

We are there to get myth. In exchange new players don't sit in queue for hours, or have to find 7 other people on their server, to help them beat the game. Watch the CS the first time. Do the boss fights again the next time. Or form your own group. Or watch the CS in your Inn.

If you do happen to find a group willing to spend 30 minutes doing nothing while you view then thank every single one of them. Your aren't entitled to have them do that for you.

This is the big part. Prae has 30 mins ish of cutscenes. That means 30 minutes of people not playing so you can watch them. They logged on to play the game not to sit idle. If I didn't want to play I could have read a book instead.

I suppose none the devs made it a point to remind you that the game isn't all about you so I'll remind you:

IT AIN'T ALL ABOUT YOU!

Isn't all about the new player either. They can watch the cut scene but I'll be clearing content. I will not stop playing for 30 mins for someone I don't know and will never meet again. Asking 7 others to stop playing for 30 mins because it's all about you the new player is the height of narcissism.

Don't like story content? Play Call of Duty or some other fratboy game that appeals to ADHD speed freaks.

Nobody likes story content the 50th, 100th, or 500th time through it. Sorry.

Not even Tolkien's or GRR Martin's work is that good.

That's not their problem. If they're enjoying the story, let go of your world-record aspirations and let go of this "efficiency" obsession. Not everyone--if anyone at all--will care that you got your Novus weapon before everyone else on your server.

No one says they can't watch the cutscenes.

But those watching the cutscenes can't demand that everyone else waits for them.

The compromise is they watch the cutscenes, the other guys go on and clear the dungeon.

It's honestly that simple.

this...

this is why i don't do main scenario roulette every day...

everyone who has just gotten to fifty or is right before fifty basically is SOL on a decent endgame because the people who have done it already want to steamroll through it for the umpteenth time.

its not as if prae/cm are actually viable for myth anyway beyond roulette...
