Dungeon progress shouldn't be allowed while party members are watching cutscenes

[SuperChris]

It is for a fact that they will be running the dungeon more than once. I myself after beating it the 1st time i said to myself i would never go back there cause of how long it took and to even find it in DF, but after a couple runs over and over, due to farming for tomes it gets alot easier and u do run into a few new players now and again and even they are glad to just run through it quick to get on with their storyline. The 1st i did it as well i just skipped the CS to be polite and to not hold back the team.This situation can be good and bad its how u approach it

No, there really are people that will not run the dungeon more than once, because some people have no interest in getting on the gear treadmill. When I finish the last story dungeon, I will either level another job, or play another game.

The way I see it, they can go kill the boss without me, I will watch my cutscenes, that just means I won't have to worry about killing it, I can see and fight the boss a second time being as its a farming spot.

Long story short. If you DF Prae/CM be prepared to wait around a little bit. Relax, theres no hurry, unless you plan to not sub. Then well, theres no point in hurrying for you.

I agree, cutscenes should not activate if there is an active fight going on, and when they activate, everyone should be locked in a little cow pen just like at the start of any regular dungeon. If you want people to skip cutscenes, thats what premade parties are for. Joining DF and complaining about lore lovers watching cutscenes in a story driven game is like complaining about getting wet after jumping off a boat in the middle of the ocean.

The only problem here is that the party may be stuck while at least 1 player is watching a CS :
1. Stuck in a circle
2. Player who is watching CS cannot join a boss fight 15 seconds after the first aggro

SE could handle the 2 different cases and that's all.

The only problem is when it's the Tanks/Healers who are watching CS, the party must wait but there is no solution here.

The easiest fix for the skip/don't skip situation while using Duty Finder is to have a "skip cutscenes"/"Regular" choice in the Duty Finder itself.

If it's your first time or you don't mind while other people watch the cutscenes, you pick "Regular". If all you want to do is run the dungeon as fast as you can then you pick "Skip cutscenes".

This makes sure that people are with like minded-people and removes one place where drama can crop up.
