Enchanters Lair skippable intros

Id like an option for enchanters lair to skip the boss intro. For the first few times its nice. But I assume once you see it the 100th time it just gets annoying as it wastes time.
Idea 1: option to turn it off that is host driven
Idea 2: hidden “switch” that stops showing it if youve seen it once already, could be host driven or only take effect if everyone in the group has seen it already

I would have loved it if we got a shorter start (as in shorter time till you see the first enemies) as well but I guess thats not possible anymore and I can live with that.

Welp. I did assume such a request would be made. But you have to consider that every boss in the game has his talking phase which you still have to listen to even after the 1000th time. And those take usually longer like Halescourge or Rasknitt. The Nurgloth sequence is like 5 seconds long? That isn’t much.

In my opinion this presentation is far better and more enjoyable as standing in front of Halescourge and waiting for him to do something.

On a second note, they could consider doing the same for the other bosses as it is more cineastic. Timewise, you may even win something. And it “solves” the “problem” of the bosses being magically invincible during that phase.

Do agree, I do love the cutscene part. And still better than standing awkwardly in the arena while listening to the whole stuff.

Could simply be a party vote to skip cutscene, that way everyone can have their say on whether they want to watch it or not.

I mean, that IS an option, sure, but I’m still with @Adelion that every single other boss has this cool speech that we have to awkwardly wait around for that is much longer than this guy’s cutscene anyway, and no one was complaining about that.

I really would love it if the other lords got a lil cutscene to replace awkward standing around we got rn.

In all honesty, I’d like to skip that too. :joy:

One thing that appeals to me about the game is the ability to hypernod at your teammates or firebeam the boss’s genitals while he is giving some serious speech for the 100th time- and everybody else jumps around acting stupid like it’s a fiesta.

So yeah I’d like the cutscene to not be a thing at all.

No option to turn it off, just if every player pressess a specific key or button in controller, the cutscene skips, esc in keyboard or red button in controller

every player needs press the key to skip it

You guys are right that this intro is shorter than that of other bosses. Im with Exanimia to get an option to skip those too. But tbf I didnt even think about those as I am so used to those that I dont really notice them anymore.
I am still for an option to skip it though ^^.

By the time your team voted to skip it, the intro would probably have 2 seconds left, just deal with it.

But what if I needed that 2 seconds to break the speed running record? :rofl:

ACtually I like the intro, it’s cool, it’s only 2,3 seconds, adds to immersion

It’s short enough to not require to lose dev time on this rather than other minor stuff that seems more important =p

You guys are probably breaking poor Tim’s heart right now.
(One of the Fatshark-Streamers and Video-Editor who made a lot of the AMAZINGLY GODLIKE intro sequences when the round starts. Would be plausible that he was involved in this too)
