Disable all cs in pf unsynched groups

[Vidu]

I'm reminded of a friend who invited me over to watch a movie I hadn't seen before, but instead of letting me just watch the damn movie, he fast forwarded through all the parts he apparently thought "weren't as cool"

Needless to say, this wasn't an optimal first-time-movie-watching experience.

I had a history-teacher like that! He watched The Patriot with us, fastforwarding through any non-battle-scenes, commenting them with "Oh, they gonna die anyways!"

...for a history lesson on a tuesday afternoon that was actually kinda entertaining

Because one could watch the rest on youtube later, lol.

I used to skip every cutscene up until the very end of ARR, then the feels with the Sultana got me and I have watched the story since. Imagine that, people wanting to watch cutscenes in a story driven MMO, go figure.

I still believe they should remove the Main Scenario roulette, rebalance that MSQ to a solo duty, and deal with this situation once and for all. The 100 tomestones per day won't be missed, there's dozens of other ways to obtain these.

Or

ilvl sync to 50 and make these dungeons a challenge again. This way when you've got new people, you're explaining the fights while their in cutscenes so you have a better than even chance of not wiping. Triple new player reward to compensate. I kinda like this one because those new players get their hands dirty in some mechanic driven content before getting into HW stuff.

Last reply as I am obviously in the minority. - No I'm pretty sure you're the only one here.
Sure my idea was extreme but I offered ideas as well. - Extreme is an understatement - its selfish, stupid, and arrogant.
I would never make 7 ppl wait on me watching a cs. I guess you think ur time is more valuable then others. - Good on you not making people wait - But to think your time is more valuable than everyone else's? Please... shut up.
No, most who set up pf don't do it correctly. - Most people who enter a party - already concluded that there will be cut-scenes on a first clear. Unlike you who can't think past his own thick hardheadedness.
My intention may not always be pure but i help a lot of ppl. - Do me a favor..just stop helping people..because you are not even close to being an ideal helper here.
No, no1 tech needs my help. ??????Huh??????
yes I ask(never harass or yell) if they are watching cs and I stay or leave depending on answer Yeah...I'm sure.
I didn't realize so many patient ppl. Remember in real life when you are behind that guy at a red light and he doesn't move right when it turns green, don't beep or yell at him as he might be watching a cs.
Again....you just flat refuse to think about this.
It's not a matter of patience...its not a matter of the guy not moving at a traffic stop which has absolutely nothing to do with this entire discussion....because that guy is likely using a cell phone..which is against the law in most states in the united states....obviously not a cut scene. What the hell kind of analogy is that?
The fact is - If the guy is doing the duty for the first time. THERE WILL BE CUTSCENES. NO IFS..NO ANDS..NO BUTTS....NO MAYBES.
THERE WILL BE CUTSCENES.

Get it through your thick skull!
Don't like it? Don't join. Period.
Don't want it in your party? The explicitly say so...do what you want within reason...duh.

But don't push your preferences on everyone else just because "you don't like it"

If your going to help new players...I suggest you exercise rationality and control...and not the metnality of a gorella who goes ERMAGAWDCUTSCENES...you'll make enemies rapidly that way.
And maybe you should manage your time better...obviously you don't have time to wait. This game is not for you if you can't wait.

Kinda makes ya wonder if others were watching cut scenes just out of spite due to a bad attitude. Also if that's the case where they left due to someone wanting to watch a cut scene. Then problem solved. No need for this thread at all.

Based on his attitude alone? Wouldn't surprise me.

[White-Magic]

This is ridiculous. If you truly wanted to help them, you honestly wouldn't mind if they watched their cs. Instead, you're trying to hide your selfish ulterior motives by justifying how you're helping them in the process.
"You don't deserve any cs" cause of you're trying to farm unsynced bonuses off them? They paid for the game, they're entitled to the perks, story/lore, and any content that this game provides - If they wanna watch their cutscenes, that's up to them.
I'm amazed at how blatantly selfish you are. If you know that there's gonna be some downtime with the cs, go find something else to do during that period instead of complaining.

This made me laugh out loud. I think I was stuck behind that person watching cutscenes at a traffic light before.

It's totally irrelevant though. When did civil engineers start adding cutscenes to motorways?

When I did Castrum Meridianum, I joined the duty finder. It was terrible. I watched the cutscenes but the group got far enough ahead that I was locked out of boss fights. So I made a party finder for Praetorium and specified that I wanted to watch the cutscenes. A really nice level 70 player offered to take me through. That is a far better way to do those dungeons. If any new players make a party finder for those dungeons, I'd gladly take them through and wait for the cutscenes.

Sad thing is...most new players have no idea how PF works. But nice to know there are people willing to help out!
