While the cinematics are lovely please for the love of Dwayna add a way to skip them.

Doing the “End of Nightmare” achis gets really annoying when you have to watch 5 minutes of cutscenes all the time.

Can you give an option to skip the cutscene when you replay it? I’ve replayed it 4 times for the achievements for the battle and puzzles, and I keep having to watch the cutscenes. It gets boring quick.

The only way this cutscene could have been better is if it showed our characters slowly walking away, towards the camera, without looking back at the tower.

Jeez quit beating around the bush and bang already

(Quietly giggling at the term “beating around the bush” in context to the quote)

Forgive my brief immaturity. I finally had the chance to watch the cutscene and the conversations afterwards. Once again ANet’s art team spiked the ball at the end zone to win, but they manage to hit it over the park for a grand slam, and recover it only to slam dunk it in another gymnasium a mile away.

This was fracking awesome! It reminded me of the art puppet style show we have in the character race intros. Plus the conversations around after all this were nice catches. Jory’s little mad cackle moment is funny. I have now been given a quaggan love story to follow later on, plus the idea of mesmers making their own clothing from illusions.

Not only is the latter interesting from a lore perspective, but now I just want to hang out with Anise even more; because of my Mesmer character….yeah that’s it. I mean if Kas can do it this shouldn’t be any trouble for Anise right?

I didn’t expect the tower event to be over so soon, but the instance was awesome and the final cutscene more than epic!

It would’ve been even more epic, if we had do fight our way back down with a timer ticking down (just for the drama and epicness).
