Very nice. This may have its own quirky consequences, but it's definitely good news.

Ya Anet heard us! Thank you! Now we can 'enjoy' the cinematics or use the time to take a toilet break or something

But do they continue to attack the enemy NPC's during those cinematics? I always crack up in Vizunah Square when they start attacking the guardian spirits when you finish the mission - it's like they can't even talk without cringing in pain.

Jetdoc, I know exactly what you mean hehehehehe. Its also funny to see the minpets crawling around their dead owners
THANK YOU ANET

All we need now is for a bonder's energy to stay put during those cutscenes too.

This is all well and good, but can we still be beat on during cut scenes?
Nothing like having someone in your party not skip it, and have the whole team down to half hp and still degenerating due to the mesmer boss that attacked us while it was playing (Sujiang District mission), or have a party member brought down to ten health because the dijnns were beating on her during the cut scene in the Final Assault quest. It has happened many more times, but these are the only ones that I can remember off hand.
When going for Master's, I hate seeing the same movie over and over again (Tahnnakai Temple especially. I never, ever, want to see that cut scene again).

Anyhow, this update is very useful. Now first timers can hold up the whole party while they watch the 1 minute cinematic of a squid poping out of the ground, or you and the NPC running 5 feet!
Stolen Souls
This was something that we really needed for a long time.
Omega X
Its about time.

Finally, no more dead minions after someone decides to piss everyone off by not skipping the cinematic.. People will be more calm now..

Now those who are new to the game won't feel guilty for not skipping a cutscene they haven't seen before.
...now...if only we could get A-net to make a cutscene really worth sitting through.

cutscenes just need to die in general but I guess I'll take what I can get
IAmAI
I like the cutscenes, and no one should have to feel pressured to skip them if they want to watch them. This update will definitely help towards this. Doomy and his minions will be happy
NinjaKai
Atleast this ends all those annoying arguments over minions dying during cinematics.
fiery
Nice.
Silent Kitty
Finally an update that doesn't make Pve players weaker.

Good job finally getting minions to stay alive during cutscenes (took long enough!) I agree, this is needed as well - recently at Raisu Palace mission got to a cutscene, my ranger was unfortunate enough to be on the far left of the group and during the cutscene got hit by some ranged enemies... cut scene ended, ranger died instantly :/
Blackhawk
YAY, taken them long enough
and hats off the person who gave us the biggest laugh ever by putting that Naked Dude in Bukdek Byway, you cant tell me that was a programming error

*Modified cinematics so that minions no longer decay and mission time no longer elapses while cinematics are playing.
Thank you Anet for finally doing something to help my minions not die due to noobs who want to watch the damn Cinematic again for the 100th time. I still wish they would add a chat dialog to the cins so the party can still talk while watching it. Maybe just having the words appear at the top black bar since that appears to not be used much.
Does this mean that my minions will no longer attack the Onvoy's, dragon, etc. that show up in the cin after winning? Always fun watching some NPC getting hit none stop while he is trying to talk. lol

"due to noobs who want to watch the damn Cinematic again for the 100th time."
Right, cause there probably isn't someone who hasn't beaten the game yet and would like to watch it...

being one of those noobs...I only watch them when I do them Solo or with a Noob group...
I understand when ppl run you or help you threw them, that they want to get it done fast...

So finally the "skip cinematics for the minions" pretext is gone...
I never complain when someone doesn't skip the cinematics, aven before this update, as a MM, I never did - after all I find them pretty good, and generally they're not that long (ok, except this stupid cinematics at Raisu Palace - generally I gi and smoke a ciggy or something then). And newb have right to watch and enjoy them meh think...

still selfish for one person to keep the cinematic going if 7 others have skipped

You can still die in cutscenes. Minions were not the only problem, just the most obvious. until thats fixed there'll still be problems.
But I'm glad that more people will get to see, because you can watch cutscenes now and still get masters.

It's a little selfish both ways, really.
Cutscenes can be pretty awful but I could see reasons why someone would like to watch them if they haven't already. This update however removed two reasons for skipping the cutscene.

Can you imagine how confused a person would be to skip the cutscene where Rurik dies?! That's part of the plot twist and the story. Gotta watch the cutscenes at least once or what's the point of the pve?
Malice Black
i never expected anyone in my groups to miss the cutscenes..they had a right to watch them if they wished to do so.
tommarrow
If people hate the cutscenes so much then they can play with henches and then can skip them all they want. Problem solved.
