I was doing a dungeon and theses two guys in a party want to skip cutscenes but I want to watch them since this was my first time and they got really mad at me for not skipping the cutscenes and then proceeded to maliciously afk and waste my time and the other person in the dungeon. The other person left and we got to the last boss in then they proceeded to afk and throw sarcastic insults then leave after afking for like 5 mins at the last boss.
I can’t even block them since the game told me they weren’t on my world or something, dungeons should NEVER require a stack of ALL players to proceeded and there should be a punishment for leaving the dungeon when it isn’t complete. Currently there is literally NO punishment for leaving a dungeon midway and this only further encourages this kind of horrific behavior. Something like ffxiv’s 30 minute no dungeon lockout for leaving a dungeon MUST be implemented or this WILL keep on happening.
What makes it even more stupid is what they did makes literally zero sense and idiots like that are pretty childish. It’s like they want their game to die or something ruining a new players experience. If someone expects to speedrun it, make a full party. There should definitely be a 30 min or 1 hr lockout.
Sadly cutscenes in dungeons dont work and never will. FF XIV learned that after launch and never did it again.
…FFXIV still has cutscenes in their dungeons…it definitely does work. They just force everyone to watch it and wait till its over or until everyone has skipped it. You probably just have the option to auto skip the ones you have seen turned on and thats why you dont notice them anymore.
They just have a better community of players. You have a couple people streaming and talking about LostArk right now though and they notoriously have a big following of toxic gamers. Same kind of behavior happened when they started streaming FFXIV, why so many people left the servers they joined.
Hopefully this company will realize how those people kill games and remove any power from them in game to be toxic…because if they have any ability at all to be so, they will. All they have to do is look at how Blizzard empowered them because they whined so much about WoW…and how that turned out for their dungeon running community.
It doesnt tho? unless you are counting the 20 second intro to boss fights. All cutscenes happen after you leave the instance and it has never been any different for 7 years.
Idk what kind of cutscenes this game has yet to compare but i doubt it will have 30+ minutes worth like a realm reborn had for its last dungeons. If it is only a few seconds it just makes the people the op had to deal with even more of a troll
Yeah it seems you have that option turned off to view the cutscenes for group content in FFXIV. You should turn it on and see just how many there are. All of them have them…its why you start in a circle that you cant move out of in the beginning of group content, you are waiting for the cutscene to end for people who are watching it. Its just a part of FFXIV and it works out really well because the community is better.
I think you must be mistaken, FFXIV after ARR definitely does not have cutscenes in the middle of dungeons at all. ALL dungeons/raids after ARR do not have any lengthy cutscenes in the middle of the dungeons at all; it is all done at the beginning, before entering, and after the dungeons/raids.
I do play FFXIV and cutscenes in dungeons do NOT work. That’s why after ARR the only “cutscenes” in dungeons are the 20 second intros (like Talinthis said), the similarly short last boss splash screen basically, and the short phase transitions on some bosses.
Cutscenes in dungeons never worked and the community is definitely not better on just accepting cutscenes. FFXIV had to specifically make the last 2 dungeons of ARR have unskipable cutscenes after years of them being skippable which resulted in new players that wanted to see the story have their experience ruined bc the rest of the party was there just to speedrun the whole thing to get the xp and currency and get out. This was also seen if you did the ARR Coils raids which had lengthy cutscenes in them.
It isn’t just that the community is better about this kind of thing specifically in another game, it’s inherent in any kind of mmo type game and something seriously needs to be done about this. I don’t even know how the game survived this long in Korea with out punishments for this kind of thing. I haven’t played the Korean version so idk if it’s different there or the culture is simply more accommodating.
