Cinematic - JQ

Well I'm happy to see some life coming back to Jade Quarry. The return on a win is 3500 points and the faction earned during a match is often close to a guild donation per match. It's quick to get into a game and they don't take long to play. There are some obvious builds becoming popular but folks seem to be bringing stuff to counter them already so it seems to be typical PvP (or PvPvE) game play.

What I did want to suggest/ beg/ plead/ is that the end cinematic be removed similar to the way it was taken out of Aspenwood. It seems all too often that someone doesn't skip and you're left waiting/watching the extremely dull cinema (or zoning yourself to the outpost versus waiting the respawn). I think the only concern I've run into with rezoning is that as a PvP toon, you can't zone directly back to the outpost therefore the time it takes to hop from Balth to JQ is probably equal to watching the cinema. I do realize that folks may be seeing it for the first time (or first few times) and may actually want to check it out but I fear that folks will somehow find the cinema an issue for joining and this revival of play will be short lived (even though the faction return is hard to ignore).

Please oh please dump the cinema (I believe Aspen had it added to the NPC to watch? Maybe something similar?)!

Oh, I'm posting this really quickly before the end of lunch therefore didn't get a chance to do a thorough search of posts to ensure I'm not starting a new thread. If I've duplicating efforts here - first off - sorry and please delete the thread and second, I'm adding my "signed" to the other thread I missed.

/signed. Waiting around for someone to skip is time I could waste waiting for another timer restart back in town

theres already a few threads on this but hopefully it will be removed soon.

/signed
but next time use search ;P

/signed
but may I suggest... F12 -> C -> Enter ... it's quick and you can do it during the cinematic.

At very least it should split the party before the cinematic as its going to dump you back solo in JQ outpost anyhow.

*cough cough*

/signed O GOD YES!!!

1. Add cinema to FA.
2. Make ending cinemas to FA/JQ/anywhere skip individually.

I'm not going to support taking out the cinematic altogether when there's a better alternative available.

I sign them all
(how comes those minor things are usually the most annoying)

I'm tired to see this cinematic >.<

Make it optional to skip other then that

Don't stop there.

Allow ALL cinematics to be skipped when ONE player skips, and add a way to replay ALL seen cinematics elsewhere.

I did mention running out of time and wasn't able to do a proper search but you're absolutely right that I should have (just didn't want to lose the train of thought/ get distracted and forget to post about it when I got home).

Hadn't considered that and that will be a great way to get around it for the time being. Thanks!

Great suggestion! As someone else pointed out, why stop at just these cinema's and apply it to all game cinema's. Then again I don't know anything about the work involved therefore don't know how simple/hard this would be to impliment. Considering the importance at this point with GW2 being a main focus, I'm not sure how much attention this will actually get. Never the less, we can always hope (and the F12 ->C - > Enter is a great way to compensate in the meantime).

why would you want to skip this art that is the JQ cut scene? it has so much backstory on the game, you cannot live without it. >_> i think it would be awesome if you skipped youd get sent back to the outpost, or if anet removed the cutscene all together.

/signed.

anyone besides me notice that its always one person that didnt skip? everytime 7/8
/signed for time efficiency

I have no use for the cinematic and all it does is leave one person afk while 7 others keep waiting. If people don't want to see it, make it a skip out option rather then to get the ok from everyone else, we're not going back to the same team anyway.
