Please Reconsider MSQ Changes

[Zephera]

Simple, anyone who spends 30 seconds longer than everyone else to get through the cutscenes (read: anyone who isn't just spam clicking) will get vote kicked. Great solution, huh?

I didn't know you could kick people in cutscenes, would make sense to be able to but I've never tried I guess. Still going to get troll groups who queue up together to ruin people's experience though.

i imagine the loot will still be being rolled for - either intentionally or not.

MSQ dungeons don't have any loot to roll for at least.

That clicked just as I as deleting my post! You're too quick.

For some reason I was expected them to just change it to a personal story quest with NPCs and not a dungeon at all.

One of the best solutions is change it to a 4 man dungeon with less CS, like Aetherochemical Research Facility or Ala Mhigo. The problem is the massive work you need to do, and they have too much things to do and no time for it, so this probably won't happen. If they see a decreasing in the queues for MSQ roulette, they will change it.

A solo instance is a solution, but the worst of all, since it lost their entire purpose.

They're not going to take cutscenes out of these dungeons so I wouldn't even speculate about that. They recognize the mistake they made with these dungeons, surely, but they can't just go back and essentially take content out of the the dungeons either without shortchanging the players who have yet to get through this content. What's done is done.

All they can do is encourage/enforce people to "play nice" in various ways, with some methods being poorer than others. Unfortunately, what we seem to be getting in 4.2 is one of the poorest ones they could have chosen.

Start the clock!

SE, it was 3 months and 40 pages from the time you said you'd restrict chat in the Feast - a fact that was, and still is near-unanimously received VERY poorly. And when you did respond, it was to ask for "any suggestions or feedback", as if ignorant to the first 39 pages. This has been received just as poorly. . . how many months and how many pages will this one take, and what will be done about it?

P.S. the PvPers are watching too. How long will it take the "favorite" child to get attention?

I've avoided doing this roulette for over two years.

At least allow skipping in unsync groups, I usually prefer to just clear trash and alttab to streams as I help FC newbies. Just until we see most of the repeat player audience dwindle enough to consider reversing this decision.

While I appreciate the intent of the cutscenes in CM and Prae not being skippable for in the event of a new person in the party, the rewards aren't really worth it in the long run.

I think if the gil reward in the daily bonus and Adventurer in Need bonus is highly substantial enough, I'll give it a try more often to help the newbies in need. (I'll take some extra gil for glams and housing stuff.)

I mean ARF and the 24-man raids give quite a bit of poetics in less than 30 minutes, even when there are no new people there.

Glad I got my run done.. after that patch a lot of people are going to be stuck on those two instances.
