[Petition] Skip/Leave Option For Cutscenes
Thallandor
I think the dumb cut cines should be removed altogether. CGI or nothing dont borther since the story is weak and boring after finishing the storyline multiple times.

It take from your post Retro Knight that you only disagree with the Skip/Leave option. Please clarify this when you post. 3) Thank you for saying why you disagree with me unlike... Your post defines "not helpful". Explain why you disagree with me and maybe post a better solution if you have one in mind. There is no reason to be throwing names around and taking out your anger on others who are honestly trying to bring a change to something that many agree needs, if nothing else, to be seriously reconsidered. Otherwise you are being a hinderance to BOTH sides of the argument. |

i dont blame the new people for watching cause they wanna know full story line, and the cinmatics are pretty cool. but when ur playin on an MM and urminions die its a lil annoying. they should at least change it to like stop the life degeneration of minions.
Edit: i mean degeneration just during cut scene.

This is such a great idea, a complete win win situation and it really needs to be put into the game.

And removing the cutscenes completely is out of the question. As much as I dislike being forced to watch one over again, I would rather that then have them simply disappear. The cutscenes are what add depth and character to the worlds of Tyria and Cantha. Most people ignore the flavor text that is provided with quests (A big mistake in my opinion b/c some of it is actually quite good and quite funny). So cutscenes are the largest asset ArenaNet has to breath life into their world. Take them out, and missions lose any sense of purpose they had and turn into grind fests with end goals.

/signed to make the cutscene within the mission not make the group go over time. Maybe some more explanation as to how the cutscene will affect the groups 'record time'.
Also as far as cutscenes for the final part of the mission I think if one person chooses to skip the whole group should skip but maybe say within a 10 sec period, anyone in the group that hasn't skipped appears at the npc that allows you to replay the cutscene.
Should be more information that the cutscene can be replayed and from where.
EDIT: Overall I think they should remain in the game , they bring for me a clarification of where my character is at in terms of the story unfolding and can be inciteful for some parts of the events unfolding that I may be questioning. Also they can be fun to watch and have some nice visuals in them =)

So it would seem that such ideas are desired by many. As I said before, I hope that in creating this thread ArenaNet will realize the importance of such functionality and be motivated to implement the above mentioned changes to the cutscene system. Namely,
1) stopping minion decay and warrior's adrenaline decay (aka, there should not be an advantage to skiping the cutscenes)
2) avoiding unnecessary deaths of players while they do not control their characters
3) Adding a Skip/Leave button to end-of-mission cutscenes for players to skip them without having to wait for everyone else

I'd rather have an option like in Final Fantasy X (or was it X2) where you could go back and visit a movie hall type place and watch all the cutscenes and stuff, even listen to music as much as you want.

As long as they just stop minion degen while in a cut scene I would be more then happy...
Now as a nice added feature it would be cool to be able to chat with your team while in a cut scene like somewhere in the black lines (hoping they get an in game Live Team Speak options there soon) to plan what to do right after it for a good strategy or just to get the noobs to know what to do. Also to tell the one moron who did not skip to skip NOW so we don't loose all our minions!
Anyone else know my frustration in this?!

Why?
Because it could disrupt the flow of the mission, plus that some of those cutscenes are kinda short.

/not signed for Fort Aspenwood and JAde Quarry. Jade Quarry cinema is quite short. Fort Aspenwood. My God people! Just leave! You have your faction, ditch, bail. If you don't understand, I've lost my faith in humanity.
/signed for the rest. If you really really really want to see the movie, talk to an NPC in town and click rewatch movie. There you go.

Second, just because SOME of the cutscenes are short doesn't change anything. MANY of them are actually quite long, especially when you are forced to watch them for the sixth or seventh time.

I have not seen any replies by either BowLad21 or Tuoba Hturt Eht. Hmm...

Yes... yes.... yes.... the cutscenes in this game are just flat out annoying after the second time through. You know what is the worst.... the endgame cutscene. You've beaten the game on 6 characters and beaten shiro 30 times that 5 minute scene makes you wanna cry. This wouldn't be a problem if people weren't so dumb. Like on raisu palace at danika's cutscene. You get to watch your minions die and the two people on the left and right edges of the group (THE TWO MONKS if the group is ordered with monks at bottom) die. What kinda moron sits there durrr this is a sweet cutscene people dying!
This is long overdue of a change Anet...

This would allow all the first timers to see the scenes, which they should have the right to do, while at the same time, not forcing the repeters to suffer.

I'm all for people seeing cutscenes, but it should not effect the freaking mission. Until this is fixed, its highly impolite to -not- skip when you see mobs attacking, or you have an mm, etc...
I dont find watching some mob or minion attacking an NPC 'funny' because I am afraid it could screw up the mission if that NPC dies.
Yes I really enjoy watching some ele beat on me while I wonder if we will wipe before the cutscene is over >_>
For Fort Aspenwood - if you arent going to end in a party you should be able to skip, there is really no reason not to.
As for skipping ending cutscenes - i'm iffy on that. I think the party should have the opportunity to stay together at least - if this was introduced, very few groups would last because everyone would skip before there was a chance to talk or do much of anything.

I'm sick of waiting in Fort Aspenwood for people that don't skip the movie.. I'm also tired of the people that insult others because they are trying to get the story of the game (except only the MM's cause I have one and I know it's realy bad to lose all your minions)

So I think I would consider this sufficient interest in the petition. ArenaNet, please change this as soon as possible. It's been over a year now and these problems still plague an otherwise excellent game. I hate to say this, but at this point these fixes need to be done before any new content is added to the game.

I think it is a great idea, but I wonder if they can set it up so you dont have to leave the group when you do it.... you can sell your stuff or whatever while the others watch the cinematic.
The only thing is you wouldn't be able to leave city / zone.....

I can remember countless times when I die on a long cutscene cause of keeping my vampiric axe equipped... because the cutscene would be seconds after a fight.
