Please Reconsider MSQ Changes

[CaptainOhare]

Just cancelled my sub over this. Inexcusably moronic. No justification for this whatsoever. If you wanted to watch the cutscenes, you could do that already, just let the other people clear it. This and 2.1-2.5 are huge bottlenecks in the game already. Making this old trash longer is the opposite of what they should be doing. Everyone saying this will be a nearly insurmountable obstacle in the MSQ now is completely right and it's not hyperbole. People will be sitting in queue for hours and then just log off out of frustration. Unbelievably stupid. Completely ridiculous.

But...aren't you already past MSQ? Is this a protest?

I imagine because it sets a rather terrible precedent. If they go through with an action this hostile towards new players, it's not a good sign for the future.

I...suppose lol. I can understand and I'm frustrated about this as well...

But at the end of the day, this doesn't exactly have a huge affect on me. Yet.

its ironic, because its supposed to give new players what they want but what its really giving them is a big f*ck you.

Can I have your stuff?

Honestly?

MSQ Roulette either needs to be scrapped, or have more relevance added to it. I'm sure it's been touched on in this thread before, by why don't we have more story relevant dungeons/Trials available to it? Atherochemical Lab, Doma Castle, Ala Mihgo. It is literally the Castrum or the Preatorium every time. For me at least.

I mean.. it wouldn't be that hard one would think. Making the scenes unskippable will just create more of a time sink into dungeons that aren't even that fun due to repetition...

I haven’t read the whole thread but are they also disabling the chat box? If not then people may just get harassed to click faster through the dialogue.

Frankly, I love these new changes. It serves people right for just speeding through the dungeons and ruining the experience for the new players. Just the other day, my free company and I queued up with a total of seven people, and our eighth was a new player. We granted him the full experience instead of just speeding through, and he was having the time of his life.

Maybe people should learn to be more selfless instead of griping about changes that their own actions basically forced.

Yes, exactly, punish those "speed runners" by making it so no one will run the content and new players will now complain about how they can't even get in instead of how they couldn't enjoy the cutscenes That'll show them!

Maybe those speedrunners are thinking too much high of themselves and that without them, the game will die. Let's see when patch goes out for a reality check.
