MSQ Roulette During Early Access

[Iscah]

I have titles turned off anyway, just because it adds so much extra text to a crowd.

There was only 1 title I remembered that had a spoiler and that was changed pretty quickly. Though the change was lame, didn't flow as well as the original.

There was another that's still in place that's admittedly less of a spoiler now but spoiled me at launch:

Nidhogg Slayer. Yes I figured we'd be taking on Nidhogg in Heavensward, so the title's existence wasn't a spoiler but the level and speed with which players got it was as I'd assumed he'd be the last boss. Seeing quite a few 55/56 players with it within a couple of days of release kind of suggested we'd be taking him down a lot earlier than expected and demonstrated that there was more than to the story than expected before I even left Ishgard for the first time , which felt kind of lame. So I figure it's safer to turn off player titles for a short while.

Could we skip cutscenes again during MSQ roulettes so we can attempt to 61 our GNB and DNCs in early access quickly please? HoH spam is inevitable, but the cutscenes in MSQ roulette make it mentally straining and not worth running for exp at the moment. LVL60 is also an awkward level for exp. It's slower than literally any other lvl on the path to 70 currently.

Um what? You do know dungeon spam is literally the fastest way to level tanks right?

As far as DNC goes get a tank friend to carry you like my FC is for their DNC as i level my GNB.

If people had been patient and waited for newbies to catch up we wouldn't be in this situation. You reap what you sow.

Didn't even need to wait for them. They just needed to fix how the cutscenes played. Instead of dropping entire scenes, queue them up to play properly. They clearly have that ability as evidenced by the fact that the first 3-4 scenes will play, literally back to back, before you can even move between them. But some of the scenes get dropped instead of queuing for the player. Fix that and we wouldn't need to be forced to sit through everything. But that would actually fix the problem...

I can agree on that but on the other hand i would dare to say Yoshida and his team were not thinkign right with this, it needsa rework simply because some people not have the time by now to sit trough such, sure its easy but some people have already long work days so they rather skip such comepletly instead then which also not helps the new players and people breeze trough already anyway even wtih cutscenes, makign new player might feel worthless.

Best solution in my opinion, split MSQ into more mini dungeons becasue two random dungeons as choosings are pathetic on its own already if we are honest, make out those 2 maybe 8 parts instead, shorter ones like the Alexander or Omega stuff, adjust the rewards etc.

It is simply outdated, FFXIV is a heavy story game yes but this simply not fits anymore by now and heavily sticks out compared to newer dungeons. Splitting it would also give more variety simply, the algorithm of the dungeon browser is already dumb but at least a chance for more variety would be nice. (Full 4 man all lvl70 random low dungeon ending in sastsha is pathetic, udnerstandable if someone is in it new actually running it but come on square, fix this rythm also.)

Netflicks and Chill.
Take out your Phones or Side computer and play something in the Background.

Problem Solved.

This thread is about the MSR. MSR is optional content.

This thread is about the cutscenes not being skippable. The fact it's optional content is a red herring.

So instead of PLAYING THE GAME, you're suggesting to go do something because you can't PLAY THE GAME? And you don't see the problem with that?

Please thread better.

OP:

Could we skip cutscenes again during MSQ roulettes

If you want to complain strictly about compulsory cutscenes for the sake of complaining about compulsory cutscenes, there are fifty other threads where you can do that. This one is just about DR:MSQ, and solution is simple: run something else.

You can play other parts of the game if you don't want to play that part of the game because it's optional content, so not a red herring. No one is forcing you to watch cutscenes because those cutscenes only appear if you choose to do that optional content or watch them with unending journey.
