To all the people complaining about skipping cutscenes.


do you realy think watching the same blacktalon story unfold 20 times is FUN!? it's not, trust me.

On the other flashpoints this is less of an issue but BT is like 10 min converations for a 20 min fight!

I skipp cutscenes, my guildies skipp cutscenes but we would NEVER drop a player for wanting to watch them though. I'll just get a coffee and let him winn all the roless also dont ened the social points ^^

Yeah at first I was like...why would you?

Then I understood.

I think the problem is that if you type even a small message in the LFG box, it cuts it off and people can't read it. When Bio does a UI retool they need to look at that. Until then before you enter the instance you should make sure everyones on the same page.

This "add-on" is already in the game. It's called "Group with someone and boot them after they don't hit the spacebar."

What else do you want it to do? You can't tell that someone isn't skipping the cutscene by watching their avatar picture in the corner of the screen?

Oh no. I read it. And it is just another discrimination addon like Gearscore. "I want a mod to tell me who to avoid".

3 words that can be said many different ways.

Join a guild
Find a guild
Create a guild
Make some friends
Be more social

I could add about 20 more in. You know how many cutscenes I've watched after the intial playthrough in flashpoints? Zero.

Why? Because im not an introvert and actually like the social aspect of :

No, it's an MMORPG. Boy, you sure picked the wrong game if storyline is not important to you.

GOD YES!!! This should be a feature in the game RIGHT NOW, not an addon. Just some simple flag that says "Will not skip content" and people can check or uncheck it.

That way like minded people can all play together because right now, this current system discourages grouping.

It is very aggravating to get caught with that player that "needs to be fully immersed and not miss a cutscene"

Come on! It doesn't even matter what choice you make! JUST slam #1 and space bar

Grrr.. soooo aggrivating. In guild vent I will key up and start slamming my spacebar so the others can hear it lol like "COME ONNNNNNNNNN!!!!"

if you want a story group with someone who doesn't put in the request "no cutscenes". pretty simple if you ask me.

While I agree that a lot of people jumped down the OP's throat on this, the fact that he stated he wants the addon so he can kick people of unlike mind is why they did. If you make a group and say "Hey, I'm in a bit of a hurry:" or "I've already run this 100 times:" "Can we please skip cutscenes?" And people purposefully watch the cutscenes to spite him, yes THEY are in the wrong. But creating an addon that essentially discriminates between those interested in the cutscenes and those uninterested would only cause problems.
