Dyson Tier Cutscene Feedback

The cutscenes themselves are top notch, very well done, and set an amazing story arc I would love to explore.

The problem is that along with that story you didnt give us much meat.

The only one we even interact with anything is a simple "run to x and push a button to finish" thing.

After the release of Sphere of Influence I had a lot of hope for some more riveting and meaty content coming down the line, and I had thought we might get some of that with the rep system tiers, like we did on New Romulus.

Wheres the beef, content design? Id like to DO something, versus just watching it.

    The cutscenes are annoyingly unskippable. They take FOREVER, and even killing the connection won't stop them. Having to sit through half an hour of unskippable cutscene just to claim my rep rewards for EACH CHARACTER is AWFUL.

    Figures. It is like D'Tan's speech all over. Is it so hard to allow "escape" on all cutscenes? Devs you listening?

    While I do agree that allowing us to skip the cut scenes would be a nice addition, I also agree that they are very well made and I like them.

    I am quite dismayed, however, that they are not followed by missions like in the New Romulus zone / reputation. The way they tell the story, having them set up for an investigation or rescue mission would be almost... mandatory :-P

    I really liked how the reputation tiers on New Romulus opened up new repeatable missions, not just because it gave me another way of earning rep points but because the missions were fun and told the story in an interesting way. Since the Dyson zone is built in an interesting way, but is low on story missions, this would have been a great way to introduce them.

    ??? What are you talking about? They are skippable. I skiped them by pressing space bar. Hmm, maybe they change it after this maint, but I cleary remember skipping all cutscenes till tier 4 on a few toons, prior to this pach.
    Maybe esc key doesnt work and its replace by the space bar. I have to try this when I get home, but I am sure that you can skip the cutscenes with space bar.

    But overall I like them, for me, wich I dont have much free time, and for alot of other ppl, it was much better to be cutscenes and not some missions and such. Loved the story too, But a bit too, I dont know how to put it, "imature". I mean the voth, wich evolved milions of years, wouldnt fear the technology. That guy was soo scared that it sounded and looked silly. I mean, c'mon, you would expect that from a childish race like the humans, but not from a technologicaly mature race like the voth. If they wouldve fear tech, no matter how dangerous might be, they wouldnt be soo advanced. Also, as reptilians, I am not sure they could experienace fear. I think the crochodiles cant experience fear, nor the snakes. But I guess the voth, along their evolution they might have picked up that flaw.

    I distinctly remember them as unskippable, and how Kaol just would not shut up.

    Hell, I remember when the Sphere of Influence final argument cutscene was skippable, and they REMOVED this.

    Worse than D'Tan's speech. I could cut off D'Tan by disconnecting the game, and on reconnect, the cutscene would no longer play. Yes, intentionally killing the connection and relogging was FASTER, even with NR's horrid load times.

    Unless they borked it in the patch on the 12th or 19th, they are skippable. Hit SPACE, not ESC.
