Calm your bloody butt down. Go make some tea. Stop trying to rush. Enjoy it.

It’s playing cutscenes without my consent!

Yea I didn’t change my sound device to my headphones before making a character so now a silent very very long intro is playing and I got bored reading it so now I’m waiting for it to finish.

Not on my watch, Jack!

A lot of us don’t care about watching cinematics so don’t tell someone else how they choose to play a game they paid for

So far, every character has had to watch the entire intro cutscene…I created a spiritborn seasonal, it was OK to watch that long cutscene, because it set the stage. Then I switch to an Eternal character, and I have to watch the same long cutscene…no escape. That’s a bit ridiculous. And another eternal character…same thing…have to watch that entire intro cutscene. I know they’re really well done, and I get that Blizzard is proud of the work, but…every single time?

Even though there’s no indicator, I held down ESC, and it bypassed the cinematic

Cinematics are just a waste of time, on top of the time they already wasted on launch

Every time i switch to a new character I’m forced to watch the same intro cut scene? That is garbage.

I would not be surprised if Blizzzard would want you to pay extra to allow you to skip the cutscenes.
