So this mission is cool and all, except for the silly black boxes and the existence of green treasure boxes at the end. Still decent, but could be better.

But those problems aren't my focus. I was wondering, why do we have to wait for the chat every time we play the mission? Play it once or twice, get the story, that's all good. But heating more than a fifth of one 5* item requires more than 2 runs. I think all chat should just be able to be skipped, since I doubt anyone who's past run 20 or so gives a f about useless Vaelyn and his sissy squad. Saving about 2-3 minutes of chat time seems petty, but adds up over 60+ runs.

yep, often noted

Yes, ever since missions were introduced we've had many threads asking for the ability to skip dialogue.

@Final-Flare

Lol, someone clearly hasn't read any of the text in regards to Vaelyn.

If you think the chat waste's your time, stop doing the mission instead of complaining about it. I don't find your point valid, it just seems stupid to me.

Many people don't read the chat in the first place and just click on "ok", etc. What if they want to read it later on, but they don't have an option. What do you mean by "Silly black boxes"?

Also I think this thread belongs in the Suggestions forum.

silly black boxes

Hexzyle, were you referring to Finale-Flare or me?

Boneblinder, I think that "silly black boxes" means the Swarm.

@Bopp Oh, ok thanks.

Mhmm.

Skipping the dialogue is not something we really need to bother with. This is a mission in the story, so of course we're going to go through with the story every time. If we had a similar sort of thing available in the arcade, then I would reckon we would not need to go through with a story dialogue.

We can't skip Vanaduke's little speech, and if we could, it would have saved countless hours of time for FSC farmers. Does it really change much? No, not really.
I think in Dreams and Nightmares, these bits of dialogue are here in part to force you to wait a little bit. If you can speedrun the mission, they at least want to slow you down a bit per run.

@HexzyleTbh I really don't

@Hexzyle
Tbh I really don't care about what it has to say. Read it once, no need to memorize. If you want to study the chat, take a screenshot.

@Boneblinder
People complain about things they want changed (What a concept...). Also, your point on people wanting to read later on is just speculation, and doesn't apply since the mission can be replayed, obviously. [No personal attacks please]

@Fangel
I see your point. I have no problem with the story. I would like to think that people who want to read the story will wait and not click, while people who are farming want to get a move on. Having a timer takes away this option. I also don't see why OOO would intentionally want to slow people down marginally. Seems kind of like they are forcing the story on people instead of letting them decide.

As I said, it is a petty issue, but I really could care less about useless Vaelyn has to say when I have 7 5* things to heat and radiants are so ridiculously rare.

Honestly if they just reeuced the silly price of radiants to 500 for 50, I would buy them straight up, no dealing with farming.

No need to be a name-calling Nelson

No need to put down other knights on the forums.

Again, farming that mission is perfectly fine. Some of the story bits are to get players caught up - They're going into the bloody core. If that's not a huge deal I don't know what is. It's cinematic. It's final. It's a pivotal point in this game.

It makes sense.

Certain dialogues need to be timed, such as the first button once inside the core. After the dialogue is up the void souls start spawning. If someone skipped that, others might still be reading and get a face full of soul.

You can skip the long and very lore-heavy dialogue at the end of the mission. If we were forced to read all that then I would say yes, give us an option to skip. As of right now, it's not that big of a deal, and if you're in a rush for radiants I'm sure you can organize depth 28 loops with party members as those require no dialogue.

OOO is to blame for this, or Nick would still be here.
If OOO can "adjust drops" to make them more rare, they can just as easily "adjust drops" back to normal.

The only thing we can count on from them is a promo every 1.5 weeks.
That's funny.
You all make me laugh.
