QoL Suggestion - Cutscene disable option for TFs/Trials

Cutscenes, after a few dozen times, get annoying. As a suggestion, how about adding a checkbox to disable the cutscene when the TF/Trial is started?

Call it "Enable Cutscenes". When ENABLED, cutscenes display normally. When DISABLED, all cutscenes for that team/league are suppressed. This setting needs to be set before entering the queue for the TF or Trial.

While I wouldn't mind seeing this option I think it's not possible (at least for TFs since itrials technically do it only if the cutscene happens at the beginning of the itrial).


If I remember correctly I remember someone brought this up to the devs (maybe in a ustream thing?) a while ago and they basically said, "while we'd like to it's not possible because of xxxxx (insert technical reason here...don't remember myself...something to do with the cutscene triggers the next part or something?)"


Again, could be wrong and maybe they can find a way around it but...*shrugs*

Edit:

Or maybe it was, "if you're in a team and you have the movies disabled but the other 7 members are watching it..." type of thing?

I'm talking about mid-trial cutscenes as well here. And the same check that allows the cutscene to be skipped could automatically trigger whatever comes next. That is elementary school programming, and if they couldn't do that, I'd question their capacity for doing the job they are paid for.

I remember them saying what you did in the edit, but that isn't what I'm talking about here.

Example of what I'm saying:
I start an ITF with a timer (30 minutes, 60 minutes, etc), number of deaths, various debuffs, and set "Enable Cutscene" to "Disabled".

During the ITF instead of hearing what Romy is going to do to our lands and seeing him get combined with a Nictus, the WHOLE TEAM doesn't see the cutscene. No one. It wouldn't be played at all. There wouldn't be an issue where one player didn't see the cutscene and seven others did.

Ah okay, I wasn't understanding you then. That sounds fine...would be interesting to see if it would ever come to pass heh.


Would make a speed STF a good 2-3 mins faster

Yes, I would like this... I can't read the dang thing anyways so it doesn't matter if it is there, just waist of time. The chat goes to fast for me
