What is the actual reason for no maw intro skip?

Yeah I think once you access Oribos on your main there should be a skip - heck there is literally a portal there.

Yeah…I can see that being an annoyance, lol

So if its not a big deal. Then why is it a big deal to make it skippable?

And if its not a big deal, and the reason is related to a technical issue…why not come out and say its a technical issue?

It makes no sense.

My opinion at this point is that there is a technical reason, and blizzard embarrassed by it and so they wont say it publicly.

Something something meaningful, something something player experience, something something we might sell this as a patch feature later, something something Kotick needs another jet.

Funny thing, though; most of the time I’m doing the Maw, I’m not playing

… I’m alt-tabbed, waiting for Jaina or whoever to finish their spiel, probably watching Youtube. If we can’t skip the Maw outright, could we at least skip the lengthy exposition scenes? It’s nothing I don’t already know, and it’s not exactly told in an exciting fashion.

Worst part is they make you click to keep them talking, like, why? Just keep talking, there is no reason I have to poke you three times to get to the point.

the actual reason is probably the company doesnt wanna pay programmers to code the change lulz

No actual reason as you yourself said they never gave a reason.

My guess, they put a bit of time into it, and some $$ spent, probably are trying to include some pseudo-rpg feel. But also want to get the most out of it before they do a skip in a year.

cause they really want you to earn that singular level. apparently that’s more important than your time.

You MUST see this amazing content. Why on earth would anyone want to skip this amazing feature we created.

“Blizzard dev team”

They are surprised anyone would complain about 5 minutes of cutscene.

Thanks. It’s nice to see in black and white how illogical and incompetent the argument is.

This about sums it up with a lot else about shadowlands.

No, it’s still 40+ minutes. Timed it just the other day with a Druid.
