Very nice. This may have its own quirky consequences, but it's definitely good news.

Thanks

Aramaki · Jul 28, 2006, 03:32 AM // 03:32

Ya Anet heard us! Thank you! Now we can 'enjoy' the cinematics or use the time to take a toilet break or something

Jetdoc · Jul 28, 2006, 03:40 AM // 03:40

But do they continue to attack the enemy NPC's during those cinematics? I always crack up in Vizunah Square when they start attacking the guardian spirits when you finish the mission - it's like they can't even talk without cringing in pain.

Jetdoc, I know exactly what you mean hehehehehe. Its also funny to see the minpets crawling around their dead owners

THANK YOU ANET

Caleb · Jul 28, 2006, 04:12 AM // 04:12

Thank goodness, maybe now every group you enter won't have someone screaming "SKIP SCENE FOR MINION PETS!"

lg5000 · Jul 28, 2006, 04:17 AM // 04:17

Thanks A-net for this

Now if I can just get an extra slot so i can create a paragon or dervish this weekend i would be happy

Kula · Jul 28, 2006, 04:27 AM // 04:27

All we need now is for a bonder's energy to stay put during those cutscenes too.

Anduin · Jul 28, 2006, 04:30 AM // 04:30

This is all well and good, but can we still be beat on during cut scenes?

Nothing like having someone in your party not skip it, and have the whole team down to half hp and still degenerating due to the mesmer boss that attacked us while it was playing (Sujiang District mission), or have a party member brought down to ten health because the dijnns were beating on her during the cut scene in the Final Assault quest. It has happened many more times, but these are the only ones that I can remember off hand.

When going for Master's, I hate seeing the same movie over and over again (Tahnnakai Temple especially. I never, ever, want to see that cut scene again).

jackie · Jul 28, 2006, 04:33 AM // 04:33

Definately a very...very....very welcome update

CyberMesh0 · Jul 28, 2006, 04:39 AM // 04:39

Agreed. That is annoying.

Well actually that's the necro boss. Comon misconception is that it must be a mesmer because it's degen. It's actually the necro skill Suffering.

Anyhow, this update is very useful. Now first timers can hold up the whole party while they watch the 1 minute cinematic of a squid poping out of the ground, or you and the NPC running 5 feet!

Stolen Souls · Jul 28, 2006, 05:38 AM // 05:38

This was something that we really needed for a long time.

Omega X · Jul 28, 2006, 08:35 AM // 08:35

Its about time.

Shadowfox1125 · Jul 28, 2006, 08:43 AM // 08:43

Finally, no more dead minions after someone decides to piss everyone off by not skipping the cinematic.. People will be more calm now..
