IMPLEMENT A VOTE TO SKIP CUTSCENE IN CASTRUM AND PRAETORIUM PLS.....

[E_Din™]

I'll bet SE loves to see player suffer by watching the same cutscene everytime..

It's actually so you don't have people finishing the run while some new player is still watching the third cutscene.

And so you don't have people bullying those new players in to skipping and justifying it with "you can watch it after in the inn room".

This would mean that everyone who has done those dungeons before would vote to skip and anyone who's doing them for the first time wouldn't get to see the cutscenes, which would go against the whole point of why they're unskippable.

Those cutscenes used to be skippable, which meant that new players wouldn't get to watch them. When I first did them I had to get two level 70 players from my FC to unsync and carry me through them so I could watch the cutscenes.

They made them unskippable a few years back and upped the rewards for running MSQ Roulette to make up for the extra time it takes to run it. They're not going to make the cutscenes skippable again, if they do anything they'll probably rework those dungeons into something singleplayer using the Trust system and just get rid of MSQ Roulette instead of making the cutscenes skippable again.

As people noted, the cutscenes are there to make sure new players have a good experience on what is the ending of ARR. If you don't like it, then don't run that roulette.

It used to be new players getting reeee'd at by people doing roulette while they wanted to watch the cutscenes. It was removed. Doubtful it'll comeback.

[Om3ga-Z3ro]

Lol this is so cute

New players that was interested in the story couldn't watch it properly because vet players just rush through to the point that new players don't do anything in the run which killed it for some back in the day, SE made a compromise and made the cutscenes unskippable BUT they reward vets with a huge ton of EXP when they join MSQ roulette. Long cutscenes in dungeons was a huge mistake that they learned to never do again and they haven't.

[Unholy Eve]

Ah we have come full circle.

Would be nice if it was skippable if everyone has finished it atleast once

[Freazer]

what you can do if alt f4 the game and relaunch it, it skips the cut scene you are currently in. If you have alteast a healer or a tank with you you can effectively do the entire roulette with just the 2 or how many of you that are doing it. You will get people in chat getting very mad though so be warned

[Kiana]

Yeah, going to reiterate: The entire reason that cutscenes are unskippable now is because of jerks that treated new players badly for not skipping them.

Devs thus decreed: "You have lost cutscene skipping privilege." They buffed up the roulette rewards to compensate for the extra time / inconvenience... and we still get people complaining about it constantly. Even though you have to opt into running Main Scenario Roulette and there are alternative leveling methods now. (Ex. Palace of the Dead / Heaven-on-High.)

To be honest, there are systems in Character Config that you can automatically skip Cutscenes you have already seen, why not set that to default when the whole party has already seen it, if one player is new then yes make it unskippable.

The Game easily picks up if there are new players, they can make it so it works like this, although Vets will then just make PF premades for it. Which means new players will have much longer wait times.

It is also a Bannable offense.

In settings you can go in and set it up to skip cutscenes for you that you've already seen. You still have to wait for those who haven't seen it yet, but YOU dont have to watch it. I don't remember what the setting is called, but you should look into it.

That doesn't work in the dungeons OP is talking about.

[Derfas]

I wish they implement unskipable cutscenes for 24x raids instead...
Also they should be unskipable only if at least one player is new.
As for this two MSQ dungeons, I still don't understand why people even go there to suffer.

The problem with that is that you'd then see people leaving the dungeon if they see a new player, because they'd rather take the 30 minute lockout than a 45 minute dungeon.

Never underestimate the petty ingenuity of selfish people.
