The praetorium is in the MSQ roulette specifically so it can’t be skipped because this used to be a problem and it ruined first time players experience of the climax of ARR

You either need to deal with it or don’t do the MSQ roulette, this is exactly the reason why it’s it’s own roulette

I remember buying the game before Heavensward even was a thing and leaving before paying my first subscription because of toxic behaviour caused by players skipping cutscenes in Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium and kicking me for trying to watch. I didn't try to play the game again for more than 4 years.


So no, the curse of unskippable cutscenes be upon you all, if that's what it takes. :P

If they make any changes I'd like to see it done like something I saw in another game, where if everyone votes to skip the cutscene it will skip it - if only 3 vote to skip then the game would still wait for the cutscene to complete like it does now.

I guess the concern then is that some people will leave the duty if the first cutscene isn't skipped, planning to re-queue later and hope for a group that doesn't have a new player in it (which doesn't make sense because new player would increase your poes for that run, but whatever... people are impatient)

There is a way to skip It. You alt f4 Then reboot The game. But You got to at least have healer do it with you to handle stacks and tankbuster

Back before the cutscenes were unskippable new players were pressured into skipping them (I was one of those players), thus ruining the first timers experience. SE made them unskippable and increased the tomestone rewards to compensate.
The only way I would agree to make them skippable again would be to revert the rewards given back to the original amount when the cutscenes are skipped and only if there isn't a first timer in the party.

But without the extra tomes as a reward, NOBODY would run them again.
