Skipping Cut Scenes in Dungeons

[sasakusaku]

Don't really care if people want to watch the cut scenes...but what I would like to see is an option in the menu to skip them all automatically. Also perhaps let others continue on with the run while the new player(s) watch cut scenes...sometimes waiting 5+ mins for them to watch them is kind of....boring especially when it happens all the time...

im sorry but if its your speed running something w/o a complete premade group you should be nice enough to let the ppl who are doing the instance the first time watch the cutscenes yea may mess up ure lttle speed run but who cares its not like the game is going anywhere

Pretty much sums up how it looks to me when people say you're inconsiderate for not skipping cutscenes/speed running in a DF PUG.

Couldn't the same be said about people saying i am watching cut scenes and you can leave if you don't like it? Either way it would be nice to have a story mode cm similar to guildhest and let other plow through it since you need a ton of runs to get darklight gear.

True, it could apply either way, but it seems like this argument is always over the people getting angry about the cutscene watchers, and really the game's design leans in their favor because if new players weren't meant to watch those cutscenes their first time through, the game would force you to skip or not have cutscenes at all and the game itself would simply tell you to go check it out in the inn later. On top of that, the game doesn't even force you to see the chatlog during cutscenes, meaning the game doesn't even let you communicate with them while they're watching a cutscene unless they choose to have the chatlog show up.

Yeah, it's valid to argue how SE should have made it/should change it, but as it stands right now, we clearly weren't meant to skip on our first playthrough.

Anywho, is that castrum whatever dungeon really the only instance you can run for darklight, or is it just the best one? I'm not saying you shouldn't run that dungeon for something that it drops, but if you don't want to wait on people watching lengthy cutscenes, it seems like they should make other instances drop them too if there aren't any.

If people want to watch cutscenes, that's fine. Wanna skip them? That's fine with me too. I wouldn't force people to watch or skip them, especially in a PUG. They could have avoided all of this if they just didn't put cutscenes in dungeons. I'm probably in the minority here, but I've never been a fan of cutscene heavy games. I don't mind the cutscene in the beginning, but I kind of wish they didn't have to interrupt the run with them. Just my opinion :3

I've already seen the cutcenes and as such skip them, but I'm not gonna tell everyone in the group to do so. I've toyed around with third-rate animation programs and even with those I know the massive amount of work it takes to put a cutscene together. Not to mention if the person wants to watch the CS in the relevant setting (and having my character show up in their CS), I don't see the harm in letting them do so.
