Hello.

- I can read much faster than the actor can speak.
- Sometimes I escape a dialogue, and I don't want to re-listen at length to the part I've already heard.
- Sometimes, an actor has a verbal tick that makes him much slower or plain irritating to listen => Cf 1.
- I'm the one playing the game, so I'm the one to decide if I want to listen to a cutscene.

These are reason enough to justify the spacebar. Non-skippable cutscenes are one of the bane of video game, don't promote them. What should not happen is forcing someone to skip dialogue. But giving the option is a mandatory requirement.

Also got annoyed by a fp group forcing me to skip cut scenes of a flash point i have never seen before because "he had to go in 15 minutes" So all it was to me was random boss... kill kill kill random... boss... kill kill kill.. you are the throne breaker... Errr okay? it wasn't very fun, Nor lucrative. I wanted to see the cut scenes and find out what was going on and why i was making certain choices. It's fine after already experiencing it, but the first time around people need to give respect to those that want to see the content, and slowing down and taking your time to enjoy things isn't that bad of an idea.


and the guy who had to go in fifteen minutes was still hanging around in party for half an hour after we beat the boss... which again annoyed me.

I listen to, and watch, the story first time through on one of my characters. Second, third, fourth and fifth time doing a mission, I use the space bar. That's why it's there.

Cheers.

I'm just getting into the PvE scene, and every flash point group I enter I see things like, SPACEBAWABA, SPACEBAR!!!!, HIT THE SPACE.

So much time was put into the story, and it can be argued that the story is what sets SWTOR apart from all mmorpgs. The game was built around the "4th pillar" (story) of gaming. The change of pace was so refreshing the first week. I was able to slow down and really enjoy the immersion.

Space bar should be disabled in flash points for the sake of all players that come in the future. Let them experience the truly epic immersion I had my first couple weeks.
When you get to your Alt you will be singing the praises of spacebar. Unless you want to watch the same movies over and over and over again (referring to FPs). I have done BLack Talon at least 30 times. If I am not in a spacebar group, I leave.

I generally space-bar through alien conversations....whats the point of listening to something you cant understand (living in Wales I sometimes wish there was a life-space-bar)

Unskippable cut-scenes are the way of the future! They could even put banner ads on them while they're implementing horribly annoying things.
“People speak sometimes about the "bestial" cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.”

The second you disable spacebar is the second I disable my payment.


I wish there was a way I could make players sign contracts on joining my parties whereby they would skip any and all cutscenes.


What a *********** gigantic waste of money. 2 months in and I spend every cutscene in a flashpoint breaking my spacebar and yelling at slow people.

You know what? I love a great many movies. Star Wars even! However, if you make me watch the same scene from starwars 10 times a week for months, I will shove that cd up your backside.

I just ignore the spacebar people. If they don't like it, they'll leave the group. The game doesn't have a deadline.
