Feature requests: adjust Cutscene Skip feature

[Dererk]

Just because the new player bonus is in there didn't make it any better I hated skiping the Cs but every one needs to under stand that every one only dose main story roulette either once a day or not at all because they have other stuff they want done. So they want these long boring thing done fast if they bother doing it. Then no one who's new to the game would get this done if your ideas are put in.

So lets take your ideas and what I said and put something else in to make every thing much worse.
you no longer get tomes from the last 2 8 man story dungeon and every one must do it at lest once a day or next day they get locked out of DF.

That makes sense. Maybe some "You now have faced and defeat XXXXX" between them, to replace the boss battle you have in the duty, just to make some sense when you see all of them attached. It is much better than how things are now, for sure.

Not sure that would be necessary, as cutscenes usually involve boss fight intros and aftermaths anyway. That there has probably been a fight in between shouldn't be a terribly obscure inference. ^^

If you want grind tomes, DF is the least efficient mode to do it. Pro grinders will premade and farm 1st and maybe 2nd boss of some duty. See Brayflox of the old times, as example.

The Story Roulette plus the new player bonus is over 200 tomes for all of 15 minutes of work (assuming most of your party is moderately geared). You can't get any more efficient than that. If you artificially inflate the amount of time the story dungeons take to clear and/or lower the reward veterans will stop doing the daily roulette and the queue times for new players will skyrocket.

Personally, I think they should just make the CS unskippable and that would end all harassment since people wouldn't have a choice.

Personally I would like to see a "watch all" button in the journal, so I can watch all the cutscenes belonging to one quest/dungeon in sequence without interruptions. It would be the next best thing to actually being allowed to watch them in-dungeon.

Awesome idea, I'd love it

All those veterans are the reason we are talking of the problem. That sounds as "do as we want or gtfo, we are the pro and you are the carried". No, thank you.

You should really rethink this logic. New people drastically benefit from using DF because it brings those willing to go back and do old content together with new players. If people go to do old content, but you FORCE the 30-some minutes of cs idle time upon them, you are in effect asking these people to not join content like praetorium, ever again.

Good luck with the return of those hours of queueing that existed before DF was implemented. The consequences hurt new people far more with your so-called idea, than what we have now, and in all fairness, wouldn't really effect the rest of us, as we will still have plenty of alternative instances to run which reap greater rewards efficiency.

Mhm... this is what OP wants. The consequence is you are compelling much...much longer queues due to mostly first-timers even bothering to join. Just like the pre-DF experience.

Well, "Roulette" does not means you always get the fastest duty avail. You also may get clueless players and on the worse, abort duty because party not able to pass some check. That's far from efficient. Then you also have to add the wait times on queue. It may work for tanks and (a little less for) healers, but dps are out the game: 15 min of work + 20 min of wait = goodbye efficiency.
