Gashers Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) This is a plea to addon authors. When this game enables support for addons, someone please make one that identifies players who fail by not skipping group conversations with spacebar. This way I can quickly boot them from my group and try to find more efficient players to group with. When I spam my LFM, I already add "no cutscenes" but people still refuse to hit the spacebar sometimes. Edit: I think, for now, this issue has been resolved for me thanks to a helpful post by Zannis. I will be now be able to easily determine which player is being uncooperative and remove them.

My groups should run a lot smoother now that I can replace players who don't follow my politely stated rules.

Gashers Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Maybe they want to enjoy the story? Sorry, but this is a MMO. It's not storytime. If you want storytime do it during solo play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hushups Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I gotta say, kinda surprised it took this long for this to come up. I figured the grinders would already be complaining that people weren't trying to grind dungeons ASAP about 2 weeks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopPunkRocker Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Sorry, but this is a MMO. It's not storytime. If you want storytime do it during solo play. It is an MMO, therefore you have to deal with different playing styles than just yourself. If you want to skip everything, play solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone grinds these flashpoints. Suprisingly some people have never done them before and actually want to hear what they are paying for. If you get into a PUG, let your team know your intentions to skip the plot entirely in favor of making a cred and equipment grab so they can boot you before you ruin their experience. Make sense? Probably not, but think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urborror Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Aside from the level 10 flashpoint, Bioware put in almost no dialogue or cutscene content for multiplayer areas. ???--http://www.hark.com/clips/pbqrsvclsj-im-trying-to-think-but-nothing-happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to force anyone. This tool would just give me a way to find players with my same playstyle and allow me to avoid those other types. Nothing against people who care about the story, I just don't care to play with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venthril Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 The number 1 thing about this MMO is that its story driven. You are lucky that there is even a way to skip the cut scenes. Bioware spent alot of money developing the cut scenes. They will probably never expose a way for you to find out who is skipping them so you can boot them.

But then at the bottom you stated you ask for no cut scenes. I have yet to see anyone state this while putting up a group but if I ever do I will make sure not to join it.

Please make an add-on to identify asscreeps and worms who are dictating everyone their own playstyle. Go single-player and hit spacebar all you want.

UA_Wookie Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Why is this the typical player that you run into while questing? Does everyone have ADD? A guy invited me to a group last night as i was about to kill a quest objective. I accepted so that he could get credit for the kill too. We ended up going to fight the other 4 objectives on the same quest. He ends up running like a mad man to every spot like he has 30 seconds to complete the entire quest or he fails. I don't understand these kids today. I guess i'm just old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archifikoss Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 We're sorry we don't meet your expectations, o great and lofty one. Make sure to tell us which server you're on so we can avoid it... We wouldn't want our "failure" as players to rub off on you after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with this addon you are requesting you can do the mature thing and leave the group rather than be looking for who to kick from the group if it is not to your liking.

I have yet to see anyone state this while putting up a group but if I ever do I will make sure not to join it. That is fine and I APPRECIATE the fact that you would not join when I put in the "no cutscene" disclaimer. I am glad a player like you who likes the story is a part of the community, I just prefer not to play together. No hate, no animosity, just don't want to group with you - that's all. An addon like this would improve player experiences by bringing like-minded players closer together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
