The pressure to skip cut-scenes!

[Holyhunter]

I don't see why everyone seems to think you can't watch the cutscenes in the inn


It's pretty obvious that you can (also just noticed that typo in the description of praetorium)

Or you can watch them while you're doing that party of the story, as they were meant to be watched.

Yes, Holyhunter, you CAN watch them in the inn. But why should I *HAVE* to just to make some little brat who is viciously nasty to others for not doing what they want when they want happy? My friends paid just as much as they did for the game and if at least HALF of the group say 'Hey, we're here for the story and watching the cut scenes' then you respect that. I don't have a problem with someone asking 'hey, is this a speed run?' but to have a hissy-fit and DEMAND that people skip their storyline, which the game is all about, just so you can speed things is over the line. You want to speed and farm? Get a group dedicated to that. But don't try to bully other players or ruin their time so you can get your way. It's called being a mature adult.

I do respect that, but half of the people in this thread from what i've seen wouldn't respect the group if at least HALF of them said "Hey we're speedrunning this, so skip the cutscene, you can watch them in the inn."

They shouldn't be pugging then. You don't pug when you want a smooth run where everyone has the same mindset.

They're Story Dungeons, the only reward in CM and TP are 100 Tomestones. Wanderer's Palace and Amdapor Keep can be finished way faster than any of those, has no important cut-scenes, drops gear and tomestones. If a player chooses to do a Story dungeon for an easy run, then you'll have to deal with the people that want to watch the cut-scenes and suck it up.

What boggles my mind is the fact that people don't get that it is the final STORYLINE dungeon. Story. Line. As in, people HAVE to play it to continue the story.... why force these players, who have not seen it before and who are excited to see 'what happens next' with their party to skip things because someone is there to farm it? That's just wrong. It's mean to those players and it IS bullying them. Watching in the inn is useful, but it takes away from the enjoyment of the 'moment' and the impact of the fights.

I wish they wouldn't give the tomestones away there at this point... all it has done is encourage people to ruin the story for players at this point.

"Half"? Even if there's only one guy who didn't see the cutscenes yet, he has the full right to watch them and enhoy the story.

Some of us just watch all of them in our Inn instead so we don't get pressured to begin with.

The scenes that play in dungeons can not be viewed at the inn room.

Stop talking out of your ass, they can not be viewed in the inn

They are in the Duty category (because they are dungeon cutscenes), not Story.

Yes they can, this was not common knowledge, I did not know this at the time. You have to play them in the duty section. That is really irrelevant though, it still does not mean players should feel they have to skip cut-scenes
