While I don't personally like the cutscenes what about the opinions of the people that enjoy the cutscenes. Where do you or some team leader get off telling other people how to enjoy the game?
Just something to think about.
Easy. If a way to skip the cut scenes is implemented, I would just broadcast this.
"No cut scene BAF/Lambda LFM. Send tells"
Set the expectation that way there are no misunderstandings. Besides, in the 50+ league teams I've been in so far, I have yet to come across one single person who says that they want to keep the cut scenes unskip-able.
While I applaud and encourage everyone who makes efforts like the one you suggest, not everyone is as considerate as you.
And even tho you may not have encountered them, there are plenty of people that like to take their time and take in everything the game offers, they like reading all the dialog. They are the same people that have kept the game active for 7 years because they don't run the same trial 10 times in one day and then complain that they are bored and annoyed at seeing the same thing over and over and that they are thinking of cancelling their subs.
For example:

Its not that I can't get a team Its not that I cannot finish a trial (that bug was finally fixed). I AM making progress... Its just that I am bored out of my mind repeating the same two bits of content repeatedly. I haven't even finished the first judgement slot on one character, and I am not having fun doing these trials anymore. Am I alone in this? I can't even bear to log into the game because I know all I will be demanded to do is incarnate content, which is just the two same tired boring trials. See the problem is: why should I maintain a subscription t a game I don't enjoy to play anymore. This was the game I play to avoid buying other games, It doesn't meet that need anymore due to the "new game" being repeat the same 2 events over and over. Gunna have to seriously consider my options at this point, as there isn't even another MMO to go to for at least a year. |
If you are tired of the cutscenes, take a break and go play some other content. There is plenty of stuff to do in this game that doesn't have cutscenes. This isn't STO where you have to complete the trial in a specific timeframe or you'll miss out on the special reward.

They don't bother me, it's an opportunity to refresh my drink!

Well see, I have 18 level 50s and 4 lowbies on my main account and 5 level 50s on my second account. With my 50s (comprising the vast majority of my characters), the other contents I enjoy are red side SFs which coincidentally, all have cut scenes. And I have seen them all about 20+ times as well, particularly ITF, LGTF, BSF and LRSF. If I want to avoid repetitive cut scenes, all I have left are regular arcs, papers, AEs. None of those choices really appeal to me anymore since I don't need to outfit my characters more. Frankly, I only look at regular content only as a necessary evil to get new projects to 50 at this point. Of course I could just take some time away from the game which I do and quite regularly. Perhaps a little more than half a dozen 1-3 months breaks since I started CoV nearly 4 years ago. |

Ironically, I do have a rather high tolerance for doing repetitive content. Such is the byproduct of playing several MMOs during the past decade. Now I'm not tired of the new trials *yet* but I haven seen them enough to want to run through each of them as quickly as possible. The cut scenes are not helping in that department. So yeah, if I am complaining about a part of the game being too repetitive, that's saying something.
Click here to skip cutscene. If everyone cliks it, the cutscene is skipped. No one crying about how they were not able to oggle over Mothers boobies or Nightstars robotoe.
well, almost.
