I’d love to do some of the living story achievements, but watching the same unskippable cut scene over and over while I try to do it and then if I fail not being able to exit and having to log out and in again is wearing quite thin.

It seems like it’s a relatively large oversight, because if it bores a guy like me who loves story, imagine what it does to most gamers.

But you can actually skip the Cutscenes? I did mastery yesterday of Seeds of Truth. Took some repeats but the cutscenes were skippable and you can just run directly the chapter you want to repeat seperaately ( purple LW waypoints )

The cut scenes within are not skippable. Watching Caithe and Faolain say the same things over and over again gets irritating. It’s not necessary. I know the conversation already.

Yeah but conversations are not really cutscenes. And seriously you should have 10 seconds extra to skip the conv as fast as it gets.

The first part of that scene before combat starts isn’t just a convo. It’s more than that. You have to talk to X person, plant a seed, listen to a convo talk to a person, watch that cutscene, watch another cut scene later when you get to the third switch.

And you have to actually log out if you want to stop in the middle, because there’s no way to exit it. There’s a pretty big thread on reddit like this was a whole bunch of upvotes. I can’t be the only one tired of hearing the same conversation over and over.

ANet, when even Vayne says that something has to be changed, it’s really time to pay attention

“This situation registers at 1.7 Vaynes according to our equipment.”

“Holy cow, anything over 1.2 Vaynes can be lethal to anyone with a weak heart. We better do some revamping…NOW!”

“Oh don’t panic, 1.7 Vaynes is still under 10 Krall, so ’We’re looking into it’ should work!”

what the actual kitten is going on, Vayne actually has something critical to say, instead of spewing utterly blind brand loyalty?

The apocalypse is nigh.

If you bothered paying attention to what Vayne actually says (instead of what you assume he says), you might learn otherwise.

I say positive and negative stuff. In fact, I usually don’t say positive stuff. I just defend against stuff I consider to be unfair or overstated or exaagerated.

But I’ve said a few negative things too, even recently.

Sidenote: open your wvw panel join eotm, load, leave eotm. Don’t have to relog.

As for cut scenes… Yea I wasn’t happy watching googlie eyes 3 times in a row for Asuran.
