Just returned, unskippable cutscenes?!

[RokkuEkkusu]

I recently ran castrum twice and the duration of the duty is grossly overestimated. First time it took us 35 minutes and second run i was too slow to see the timer when we finished but it was less. so 35 minutes for a dungeon ong? i've had regular 4 man duties take longer

I agree with you. Most of my Castrum Meridianum runs take 20-30 minutes, even with the forced cutscenes. Most of my 51-59, 61-69, and 70 dungeons take more than 20 minutes because I've been grouped with DPS who decided not to use their multi-enemy AOE attacks during big pulls nowadays.

Most Dungeons Im in take 11-14 minute completion. Longer dungeons with slower groups take 16-20 minutes.

That should usually be the case in most dungeon runs. Unfortunately for me, I tend to be grouped with bad tanks, healers, and/or dps no matter which role I take. So if the 4-man dungeon run takes longer than a Castrum cutscene run, I start doubting myself whether the slower group I'm in is salvageable or not.
