Cutscene interruptions

**Nasibihc** · 06-24-2015 01:33 AM

I kind of consider this as a bug or a feature that has not yet been fixed like it should actually be...

I for one do like to watch all my cutscenes when they come to me the first time. Now here's the problem, you're watching the most AMAZING and immersive cutscene and something on the market ward gets sold.... you get THE most annoying message right in the face, boom! I surely can't be the only one who finds this really annoying..?

Picture or it doesn't happen ->

Yeah, that's been an annoying aspect of the game since.. well... since the Beta. Sadly I'm not sure if there is any way to actually hide those annoying messages that intrude in cutscenes. I'm just putting it down to an oversight on SE's part that they've never corrected.

*Serious cutscene*
"Your retainer has completed a venture!"
*Goodbye immersion*

I'd also like to add there needs to be a way to hide your chatbox again if you accidently use it in a cutscene. Your cat hit the keyboard while you were watching the final MSQ cutscene? Oh well, maybe some FC/zone chat will enhance the experience! (not) Using scroll lock hides the dialogue text, too.

Yep, I also find these messages annoying. Never manage to catch them while busy in the world, but when watching the cutscene? they flash like a rainbow!

And even worse when you feel like rewatching cutscenes in the inn and you get interrupted the same way :|

OMG 2 years in and I finally know how to get rid of that annoying chat while in CS T_T Thank you random Eorzean

Yeah but that doesn't beat receiving a message that a boss zone has been sealed off while you're still in a cutscene and outside the boss area.

In Patch 3.1 we’re implementing a change that will stop messages, such as retainer venture announcements and market board sales, from displaying during cutscenes. Soon you’ll be able to sit back and be fully immersed in cutscenes without being interrupted by your pesky retainers.

Does this include the "Full party", "Light Party" Messages, which are BIGGER, reduce the volume of the BGM and plays an own sound?

Personally, I don't care for a notice when an item's sold.

In WoW, they're in chat box. Can't even remember if EQ2 gives you a notice. I don't care. I'll check my auctions/listings/market board when I get around to it. I do it twice a day(unless it's wow, then I check every 5 minutes I'm not in game, yay mobile armory auction house o.O).

I don't need an in game announcement for it.

I honestly think the announcements are more for the assistance of the console players than anything.

...why we had to wait 2+ years for this when so many other restrictions, that make even less sense, have been in place since the start, I'll never understand. Still, better late than never, I guess.
