Cut scene bypass option

[Evangela]

especially in Castrum, that dungeon shows you a cutscene every 2 minutes.

Can't you just skip them manually with two buttons?

I did castrum yesterday and didn't see one area where CS' s popped up during a fight. Only when people ran ahead and didn't wait for those in CS' s.
That said. I think watching CS' s should be mandatory and unskippable for first timers while those who have been through it should have an option to turn them off.
This solves two problems.
First timers not being able to watch them because of jerks running ahead and screaming "wach @ enn n00b" while also giving actual speed run groups the ability to do just that. Speed run.

The area in CM right before the last boss is a bad spot and there are a few more in there that have cut scenes almost back to back and while you are hitting your esc the mobs are still attacking you which they shouldnt be able to you would think.

After the first visit to Castrum and Praetorium cutscenes should just auto-skip for everyone.. they put an NPC into the Inn who can show you all the cutscenes again for a reason. I was really pissed too when I got constantly pestered and flamed when I wanted to watch the cutscenes during my first run through Praetorium, but only later learned the place is actually challenging and long enough for fresh 50s that you actually need all the time that the cutscenes waste (mainly for 3rd last boss), and even then we only beat it with about 3 minutes left.

As long as someone is watching cutscenes, at the very least the timer should stop.

I think this would be a great option to add. But it definitely needs to be optional and not just automatic. Some folks enjoy watching the scenes multiple times.

I want an option to turn off these annoying cutscenes soooooooo bad...

Making it an option but not forcing players would seem like the best way to do it, but an option like that has got to be implemented nevertheless...

I don't mind if first timers watch the cutscenes when i solo queue, but when i'm doing premade speed runs, i'd like to avoid being forced into a cutscene y times in fast succession.

They should just implement an check box in the duty finder window saying if you want cutscenes or not. This way you'll be grouped with people who are looking to farm or with people who want to see the story.
