Unskippable Dialogues

[N-13 Raymond Reddington]

soooooooooo damn annoying. im playing on the non steam version
and if i need a certain achievement like the flashpoint achievement,
i need to do the entire story sequence in order to reach the last mission part of flashpoint,
and there is no option to skip dialogues or cutscenes

i guess arenanet doesnt really care and just wants to waste everyone's time
and to those people who want to tell me that "there are people that like to listen and replay everything 20 times"
let me tell you
if there would be an option to skip dialogues it wouldnt take away the option for the people who want to listen to it 20 times or even more

Never noticed.

Welcome to the club, it's one of the common complaints about the game. There's better chances of catching all the shiny pokemon without cheating though than ArenaNet ever doing anything about it so watch something while playing the game to lessen the boredom of listening to the same dialogue 15 times.

well i did the story 2 times and listening to it a third time gets annoying.
where did i also state that guild wars 1 and 2 are the same games?
so simple critique is "flame" ??? lol these unskippable dialogues are a problem since the beginning of the game
just for your information i need to replay certain mission parts for achievements
to get the legendary aurora
i mean if you like to listen to dialogues all day go on, this feature would not be taken away from you if other people would be able to skip everything ....

there are games that value my time more than gw2
sad for them i guess. also i dont understand why you came along like a douchebag from the beginning, while i was simply criticizing a in my opinion stupid game mechanic
well good luck trolling around here. i guess the game isnt as good as you claim it to be because you lurk around here whiteknighting and defending the game like your life depends on it

Which story do you mean, usually you have a skip button on the bottom right, both in Silverwastes, Dungeon, Panoramas and a few others. With its own main story, I don't know exactly how it is there, I never paid attention to it. But I have to admit that it bothers me sometimes. (translated)

"when u start a NEW character" nice joke, if u start a new character u cant play living world becouse its for lvl 80 - another guy who make mimimi about things he dont know exactly, maybe u should make a new character to see how it is

At this point, I am not sure if you're simply a troll, toxic fanboy or whatever you wanna call yourself or if you're trying really hard to get under everyone's skin but the one that usually seems to know nothing, or is extremely willing to kiss ArenaNet's backside... is you, mate.

Anything from LW1 onwards can simply not be skipped. People have been complaining about that for YEARS and ArenaNet has decided to do ♥♥♥♥ all and bury their heads in the sand, like they always do about anything they don't want to work on.

In group content in the majority of games if there is an option to skip dialogue but even ONE member has opted not to skip it the others still have to wait.

There are some who like story and play games just for the story.

But I have to admit that it was a bit strange for me, especially in Dungeon. While you still have to/can watch the dialogues (since you can cancel the films), the rest of the group is already with the final boss. Should then apply to everyone or none. Once I joined a group, so we had to leave the dungeon and re-enter because at least 1 had chosen story mode.

I started HoT yesterday, at least in the prologue it seems to be cancelable if I remember correctly. It's strange that they didn't do the "living world" like they did in the normal story. (translated)

From what I remember:

the old System where you can skip conversations in the story (see basegame) was disliked by a large group of players. Not because of the possibility of skipping, but how it was presented. People felt it tore them away from the experience since they suddenly ended up in a cutscene. And other reasons.

The new system was liked alot (see HoT).

I could only assume with anets spaghetti code, it being more difficult to skip dialogue outside of a cutscene. I would like if skipping was possible when replaying a few story elements, but I'm not bothered enough by it to truly complain.
