Does anyone else hate when everyone but one person doesn't skip a cut scene(7/8).?

Then about 5 minutes later you come back and the guy/girl is still talking..

..

1) If 5/8 or more players skip..I suggest that majority rules and the scene is automatically skip...

2) Show the name of the players who skip on the bottom of the scene..So you can flame on the one's who didn't later on.

3) Keep it the way it is..

The community needs to vote..
We need like 1000+ replies to this page so A-Net can see how the community feels on cut scene's.

Vote or Die.....

P.S I really can't set up a voting system so just reply on this thread...

Keep it the way it is. The first two choices don't seem "right" enough to execute properly and have people be happy.

If cine's and cutscenes were viewable without entering the mission I'd be all for majority rule, but as it is someone might have to attempt a mission 5 times before he or she gets the chance to actually see the cutscene if majority ruling is implanted.

I can't agree with majority rule, if you haven't seen a cut scene then you should feel free to watch it. If you've seen it before and you want to watch it again, you should seek professional help (except for a certain one in the Northern Shiverpeaks, that one is always worth watching 'til the end. The oh so joyous end. No spoilers please.) Thankfully they have fixed most of the serious problems by no longer having game time pass during a cut scene. Now all we need is a way to chat, preferably one that can be ignored by those who want to watch the scene, during a cut scene so that we can make fun of what is going on, plan strategy, or even cheer at certain endings.

If someone hasn't seen it and wishes to, let them, since it is one method of the story being told. If the option is removed then provide a way in the destination town to replay the scene once the mission has been completed.

Ive seen this elsewhere..

Make it so that people who press 'skip' are teleported to the town and dont have to watch it, and continue with whatever they were doing; people who dont press 'skip' can continue to watch it.

If I haven't seen the cutscene before or want to see it again... and there isn't an MM in the group... I'm watching the cutscene regardless if I'm the only one wanting to.

Fixed, no reason to skip to keep minions alive.

And to the OP; Players who never played before should be more important then impatient players, let the ones who never saw it before watch it so they actually know what's going on (some cutscenes have valuable information about what to do next).

remove the cut scene in the middle of the mission, and for the one at the end, the team should be disbanded so you can skip it if you want, and the people who want to see it can

this thread should be renamed to "Cut-Scenes... Another Thread"

the only ... sane solution is number three, so there's my vote.

so basiclly if someone is in the area for the 1st time you want them to know understand what is happening and if they choose not to do what you want you want to act like a jackass to them? grow up.

If I haven't watched a cutscene before I will watch it completly once, no matter who complains beforehand (unless I'm being run through the mission, but I never get run my first time through). If a majority rules vote is implemented and I am forced to skip a cutscene I haven't yet watched then I'm mapping back to town to try again after telling the group thats why I'm leaving. For first time through most missions, I'll likely be on my monk.

Erm... was that a reply to me? If so, I would very much like to hear about when I've "acted like a jackass" to a new player.

Actually, this is "the only sane option". But, of course, it is completely overlooked by the majority of people posting in this thread because they all fear change and wave the "Anet is my God and can do no wrong, nothing they do needs changing" flag.

Sorry, forcing the majority to do something you want is also selfish. Anyone calling people who want to skip the cutscene selfish are hypocrites. You obviously haven't tried getting Master's on the Temple or Naphui if you don't want some sort of way to skip cutscenes implemented. I've had to watch those cutscenes so many times, that I never want to ever go back and do those missions again, because in every group I've been in for them, someone has wanted to watch them. Yes, I was in "Master's groups" for the majority of them, but somehow there is also someone who hasn't done the mission, or just hates everyone and loves torturing people.

Oh, and I've skipped the cutsecenes I haven't watched so as to not hold up my group who wanted to skip it. I just beat the mission again on my own time to watch it.

Keep it the way it is. The majority of the team shouldnt be able to just walk over the newbie on their first time through...

They have fixed the minion thing...so it is fine now.

If someone is on his first pass through the game, he should be allowed to watch the cutscenes even if he's teamed up with stressed-out farmers.

They should change it so that you watch it as an individual not as a group.

The time spent in cutscenes doesn't count towards the total time spent in missions, that was fixed along with the minion degen.

The rights of the one person who paid money for the game and wants to see it outweighs everything else. And they should get rid of the "7 out of 8" message to take pressure off.

I've seen them enough times - the only time I don't skip is when there is no MM but some selfish person is still pressuring others to skip. It warms my heart that I can bring unhappiness into the life of that sort of person.

But letting people skip and move on individually at the end would be good.

Bad enough that some people feel pressured to skip the cutscenes on their first time through the game when they've never seen it, just because 7/8 have chosen to skip the cinematic.

Hmmm someone needs to take a look in the backlog of posts. This same issue has been brought up several times before. Anet has made it clear that they have no intetion of changing the way cutscenes work in order to be more fair to those who want to watch. I agree it is annoying and I also agree that allowing those who press skip to go ahead and skip would be the best option, but I don't see it being implemented.

Thank GOD for the wisdom of those at ANET who know better than a bunch of preteens on caffeine. There is no need for fear of cinematic scenes since ANET eliminated HP loss of minions and stopped timers during cinematic scenes.

If I want to watch a cutscene, I have the right to watch it w/o getting flammed for it.

I did glady will skip even if I wanted to watch cutscene's if we had a MM with minions in the group or a timmer but now that's fixed.

I will skip if someone w/ a vamp item asks for it but that is then only reason why I will skip if I didn't want to.

It's invalid to assume somone has watched the cutscene before too, there's always new people to GW.

Also if I see a 6/8 on the skip, I hold off to help reduce the pressure for the person to skip. If it goes to 7/8 and I don't see it then I will skip.

Probably because every group in most mission areas is a masters group. Its not too bad as I managed masters on most missions first time through.
