Party Rushing as I Watch Cutscenes

[Orl]

I have a problem. I reach the last two quests in a Realm Reborn. And the main story is really nice.

I was getting really excited for the ending and then came the big dungeons. On the first, I barely got to do anything, becaue people kept rushing ahead while I watched the cutscenes. Mind you, I'm not a slowreader people just didn't wait a second.

Then came the last mission and I was watching cutscene after cutscene. I didn't fight a single boss, it was being an awful experience so I just left the game. Not really interested in doing the last mission like that.

Question is, what can I do?

Watch the cutscenes later at the inn.

There's nothing you can do. People will always rush like that, that's just how the community is, 98% of them are inconsiderate people. You can though, run them with your fc mates, who will (maybe) wait for you watching cutscenes. I was like you when I was running the last 2 dungeons, forced to skip the cutscene. You can watch the cutscene at inn afterwards but that's not even fun at all.

That is not the same thing and that's not how the game is supposed to be experienced.

It's the same as going to the movies and only reading the subtitles, because you can watch the movie in any other language later.

It sucks, but.. I'd rather watch the cutscenes myself.

Watch the cutscenes later at the inn.

The cutscenes are referring to things going on *in the dungeon*, which you don't get at the inn. It's like trying to read a novel by reading every other paragraph because later you'll be able to go back and read just the odd-numbered paragraphs you missed. Neither dungeon nor cutscenes make any sense at all that way. Later access to cutscenes is great for things like taking screenshots, but it's not going to give you the story of what's going on.

Watch cut scenes in the inn is retarded. There's nothing you can do. There's so many gimme gimme players out there that forget that there is real art and story to be had here. Watch them in the inn? While you're at it, get yourself a leveling bot....

I had to make a Party Finder party for the dungeons because of this. I recommend you do the same, and set No Cutscene Skipping, even if you've already done the dungeons. For an added bonus challenge, turn on "Minimum IL" option as well and make sure to put that in your party finder recruitment. Ask people in your FC to join and help as well and you should have some fun.

I'd just watch the cutscenes. If people are that impatient then forget them. More people are nice than are not, but you could also run them with some FC mates. All of my FC peeps are awesome.

In short, if you want to watch the cutscenes AND participate in every encounter you will need to find either a 1) all new group or 2) a group of your friend's willing to be patient with you. There really is no middle ground here. This is why in subsequent patches and in Heavenward there are no more of these 8man story dungeons. They reduced them down to 4 people for multiple reasons and this is the largest.

As for the encounters... you will more than likely do these dungeons at least a few times based solely on the fact that they are decent sources of xp on their daily roulette. So choose to either watch the cutscenes and miss a couple of encounters (normally even the CS watchers will catch up for the final 2 bosses) or skip them and watch them in the inn at a later time.
