After watching the stream with Leif I was expecting there to be no cutscenes or all scenes handled “in game” but as it turned out that was not the case.

In fact there are several longish cutscenes that are unskippable. I understand some people want a bit of story and that is fine but this is repeated every time you do this path.

What is even worse is that the only skippable scene STILL forces you to wait for the NPC to finish its blabbering.

TL;DR what is the reason for forcing people to watch/listen to the cutscenes over and over and ….?

Only few of the cutscenes are unskippable you just need to click on the screen and the “skip button” will appear.

I vote for no skip

I vote for no skip at all. I started running dungeon paths quite recenly (mostly pvped since beta) and most of times i skip the cutscenes. Not since i dont want to see them… but i dont want to let my group wait or get locked out of bossfights.

My point is that in most random groups you will see 1 or 2 guys who would like to see them. And since its only a few seconds in most cases it shouldnt be that big of a deal right?

I had 1 group where i was watching a cutscene and when i came out of it I saw two guys spamming something like “skip it you f in *” in caps. So id rather want those few seconds to be unskippable so i can immerse myself in peace without having to worry about what happens if i dont.

I have honestly never watched the cut scenes in the explorable paths of dungeons. I always just skip them in an effort to not hinder those people who always want to go fast fast fast. I just figured if I wanted to watch them sometime, I would go to Youtube and hope they are there. It is pretty silly really.

It would be nice if an overlay in the corner showed us how many people had skipped the cut scene, so if someone else is watching, I could too. As it is if I skip and see someone still has the video icon floating above their head, I feel cheated as I could have taken the time to watch it then too.

The thing is, after I watched them all for the first time, I am sure I would not want to watch them again unless someone else had never seen them. For this reason, the fact that we cannot skip the new cutscenes feels like a step backwards, another inconsistency.

So because you want to watch the cutscene, you want to force everyone else to have to watch it also? Is that not exactly like the people you are complaining about who want to skip and pressure others to skip as well?

Keep in mind that its only a few seconds in most cases. So if i had to pick never watch any cutscenes ever again or make them unskippable….i would want them to be unskippable yes.

Or give an option to show or listen to the conversations while you continue the dungeon.

I have no problem with people watching IF there is still someone who hasn’t seen it yet but when your whole party has already seen the kitten thing 4+ times already there is just no reason to be wasting people’s time like that.

I guess the devs were thinking “Nobody is going to want to replay this content after they are done with the achievements anyway.”.

They weren’t all that enjoyable the first time, they aren’t getting any more enjoyable the fifth time.

Please make all cut scenes skippable. I would like to run this dungeon more often without being bored to death because I have to watch the same dialog over…and over…and over…again.

If you wanna watch cutscenes run the content with your friends, for pugs, it’s all about speed and no wasted time.

Non-skippable cutscenes in dungeons aren’t okay unless it’s the first time you see it. While replaying a dungeon it’s only an annoyance. I think ArenaNet were really clever in GW1 when they had the rule that all party members have to press the skip-button before you could skip it. You saw how many had pressed it at the top of the screen, and no names. I want to watch the cutscenes sometimes without feeling stressed, but the fact that you can skip it and see who’s still watching it, makes people get annoyed at the person who doesn’t skip. ArenaNet wants to make a good community in the game, yet they allow for this? Also, what about all that money that was thrown at voice-acting, lore and continuity and writing, and yet you allow people to just skip through it all the first time?

My suggestion: Whatever content people are playing (personal story, living world, dungeons), never allow for skipping cutscenes the first time someone watches it. The second time someone watches it, allow for skipping if all party members have pressed the button.
