Guild Wars 2

Its pretty irritating that after mordremoth kill or some of the HOT stories that require us to watch an extremely long cinematics before we can go to next stage. Especially for HOT stories that require us to do achievements and we have to watch again and again for reset. Also if you want to run the story on different toons, you have to watch again. Just make us watch once I think that is enough.

While it’s true that this can be annoying, the cinematics aren’t that long. I’m more frustrated that you have to run the same story multiple times to get the achievements. After my first character runs through the entire story, why aren’t subsequent characters eligible for all the achievements?

Mine are, I thought it was great when compared to LS2 system.

I remember them saying that the cinematics can’t be skipped because of the underlying design. They move resource around and put things in place during the time the playback is running.

I’d say that was a unfortunate design decision.

I agree, they should make all scenes skipable. You had some crap design decisions done like in the mordrem camp story in the first act. You can’t skip the pointless scene of showing all those mordrem adds around a crash site, but you can skip the Death of Eir.

Get your kitten together.

Ok let me quote an example. The hearts and minds story, you had to talk to trahearne, get into mordremoth mind not able to skip it. You went through it once. Doing the achievements you watch again. The challenge mode failed or someone dced, you redo and watch again. Its like a broken radio over and over and over…its driving me nuts. To access certain parts of Auric Basin you need to clear story on that specific toon. Omigawd….

Only some are, but most of those were available the first time I went through, too. Also some chieves are available if other characters in your party have been through it before. It’s not consistent.

In any case, I’ve just about completed my second run, mostly solo, and only a few of my missing achievements were available to me at the start of each story new to that character.

I wouldn’t dread doing story achievements as much if I could skip the cut scenes.

Strange, the only difference I saw was the ones specifically for Silvari characters. Maybe I missed something.
