Guild Wars 2

How about an option to skip them (without the gameplay interruption and clicking ‘skip’) once one has run the story / exp mode once?

Um, don’t they already have a Skip button at the bottom right?

Not all of them and it’s really annoying for those that don’t have it.

That, and there’s always that kittening cutscene on the way to the ooze in Arah p1. Even with the skip, the itty oozes often catch up and swarm you while you’re clicking “Skip”. Kibbehs me off.

This would be a wonderful QoL improvement, but I don’t see it happening, unfortunately.

There doesn’t need to be a fancy fix or implementation. A simple “/cinematic off” in chat should do the trick. “/cinematics on” would turn them back on and just “/cinematics” would echo the current setting.

Too confusing for new players.

Sounds like an exploit.

Sigh…what part of “option” did you not understand?

I think we just found the reason for the NPE.

Well with such replies, I understand why AN did not introduce the option.

Please just allow me to press esc to cancel the cutscene.

The esc key is actually extremely confusing. There are alot of keys on the keyboard and as a new player you have to look down and sort through all the keys until you find the esc key, then you have to actually press it which I might add is very difficult for some people. There are many finger amputees in this game who would find your remarks about adding an esc key option very alienating and discriminatory.

Key studies have suggested that the typical player has very poor literacy skills and cannot even read the LFG post descriptions, so in addition to finding the esc key, they have to be able to read and recognise it.

This thread is mildly entertaining.
Supernatural is starting to get rather boring. I hate Sam. I want to slap him.
I do believe that we’re never going to get an update in time before all of my friends leave the game. This includes, but isn’t limited to, QoL improvements such as this one.
