Bluntzkrieg420 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) I like the idea of the boss cutscenes, but it is very annoying to be frozen at a seemingly random range from the boss and be unable to move, attack, or use abilities even if/when you skip the cutscene. This was even more annoying on the Eris boss when an Ancient Disruptor came up to me while I was frozen and killed my shields/energy. Not sure if the character freezing is intentional or not but if we have to be frozen for the cutscenes I would appreciate a way of turning them off. This probably isn't such a big deal in groups but solo it can be a death sentence. Or, even more annoying while soloing, the cutscene freezes you and Phorid (the boss) shoots his homing-through-walls shield-ignoring poison bolts and kills you from 400 hp while you can't move. Awesome. Edited February 1, 2013 by Bluntzkrieg420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sealgaire Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 This is incredibly irritating. I once skipped the cutscenefor Pholid and found myself surrounded by chargers and unable to move for several seconds. Barely made it out alive. It seems it makes you wait for other players to finish with the cutscene even if you skipped it, but allows enemies to move and attack in that time.

thessaya Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 The cutscenes are an ok addition, but only for the first time. I have very little interest in seeing them over and over again, i just want to get started. The current system very much reminds me of spacebar spamming in D3. "Yeah Tyrael, thank you very much for sharing your emotional problems with me for the hundredth time, but just leave me be!". And the bug about not being able to move, even if you skip the scene is very irritating indeed. I'd like an option to not display these scenes at all if possible, they really aren't that engaging. And even if they were, you will just tire of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vashramire Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I got frozen after the Kril cut scene and one of my teammates was on the ground already, not even from the boss just tons of Grineer. I just stood there staring at him like an &#! till he died. I wanted to help. =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neKroMancer Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Agree. The cutscenes put frames into temporary stasis and into an early demise. It sux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plastictrash Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 +1, this absolutely has to change. when you're solo or out of reach of your squad and out of revives, this is a game breaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbin Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Great idea, bad implementation. Give us immunity while all of our team mates are watching the cutscene if we decide to skip it, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshJB2 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I like the cutscenes, but everything should freeze. Another solution would be to put bosses in their own rooms and not start the cutscene until everyone is inside. Then, and only then, start spawning the boss's henchmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad idea given I was shot from full shield/health to faceplant because someone just had to rush to the boss and see if it was wearing a leotard this time, running through everything while the remaining three Tenno had to clear the army that was chasing him... and then the mobs decided to turn around during the cutscene.

REDACTED Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 The enemies should also be paused as the cutscene runs. And if one player skips it it should stop for all players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trancemaster Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Remove the boss cinematic please it does not work at this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dendrobium Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 It's okay to put cinematics, alright. But then, I can't express enough how I'm bored to die during cutscenes, not to mention inability to move after it for couple of seconds as it cost me a life most of time.

Mak_Gohae Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 All they need to do is stop everyone so no problems happen. It's very strange that they didnt do this to start, maybe that's a bug because im sure during testing SOME ONE had to notice the enemies can still move while you are there waiting for the thing for play. But i have gotten a bug recently where the screen just flashes black for a second and i can still move while everyone waits for the thing to play so i become the babysitter for a bit making sure no one dies.

Indiscipline Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I usually play solo, so while annoying, you dont actually die during them. But yesterday i went and did some coop and it was horrid. It seems that the first person to trigger the cutscene gets immunity while the rest just get frozen and beaten on by enemies and no cutscene at all. It really needs fixing fast. Also i agree they should be completely removed after you beat the boss for the first time. This is a boss farm game, watching that scene 40 times in a row during single evening gets old really fast.

11.11.11 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 +1 to immunity during cutscenes, or no freezes during cutscenes. Being killed by a heavy Grineer during the cutscene is not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
