Request: Please add Alliance Raid unskippable cutscenes

[ElHeggunte]

You can actually report abuse of the vote kick in game... And I do believe people can get temporary bans if they keep doing it too much.

Kicking someone for watching cutscenes is not really abuse and isn't a reportable offense. It would fall under "differences in playstyle" because one person wants to stop and watch the cutscenes and the other 3/7 people want to continue with the dungeon. A GM isn't going to care unless the offending party actually exchanged words in a way that would constitute harassment.

The fix for both this and msq should be skip automatically if everyone has viewed them once.
They should rework the msq quest to remove them also modifie to 4 man vs 8 and added to 50/60 queue without cs.

Why should 1 person hold up 7 or 23 other that is selfish if you want to partake in story and your not doing it when it's new there is the cs rewatch book.

I read and watch every cs and have never been kicked for it.
I also do content when it's new.

[Avatre]

I also do content when it's new.

Okay...and if someone starts next year they should just skip it, and not watch it when they get there, but rather in the inn(not all cut scenes can be watched there by the way)?...Yeah your logic is failing there.

You do realize the irony of you saying that you get to do it but nobody else should when it inconveniences you, and also talking about selfish people at the same time, right?

[CrystalRainbow]

Not when it's inconveniences to me but 7 other or 23 others.
I'm all for people watching cs but don't complain when people run though content without you.

Also another fix for msq is let the cs be skip able but in force a ilevel cap close to the content so going in with 7 is a disadvantage.

[Crystal_Raven]

Absolutely not. There's a way to rewatch the cutscenes at an inn, use that feature. The cutscenes should under no circumstance be forced. If you want to watch them fine, watch them as they come up, shut up if the group leaves you behind. 2-3 people inconveniencing 20-21 others is extremely irritating.

Even in random dungeons with a few minute long cutscenes it's incredibly irritating when ONE player wants to watch the cutscenes and forcing the rest of the group to wait. That's nothing short of selfish really. You have a way to watch cutscenes without inconveniencing others, i'd recommend using it.

this would make Alliance Roueltte gear superior to savage just because of the amount of time

Yes, that 30 seconds is going to absolutely destroy people's ability to run it.

I can't eyeroll hard enough at how absurd some of these exaggerations are.

I can't eyeroll hard enough at how absurd some of these exaggerations are.

While not half as bad as MSQ roulette, the fact remains that making cutscenes unskippable when the game itself gives you an option to skip cutscenes you've already watched is absurd. It's the pattern behind it that is worrisome more than anything.
That's before the fact that a lot of people will be actually hurt by it and could potentially even be locked out more from boss fights because of loading times. There're a lot of people who auto skip cutscenes to make up for their loading times. Forcing them to get through the cutscene and then the loading time on top of it all might just put them in higher risk of getting locked out, which is the selfsame problem we're trying to solve here. Difference is, after people watched the scene the one time, they likely won't bother with it again, but these people will be stuck with this issue every single time.

[Tridus]

yeah

Oh for sure, there's better ways to solve the underlying issue (like teleporting people in so that when the cutscene finishes for them, they're already inside the barrier). But I've had more than enough of the incessant childish exaggerated whining about how the extra 30 seconds will somehow make it intolerably long because MSQ roulette, when the two are in no way alike.

If people want to be taken seriously, they should try acting serious.
