I have some questions then, I apologize for my ignorance toward MMO's.
1) If I die in a dungeon, do I get to respawn? Do I restart from the beginning? What's my punishment?
2) Usually how long are the dungeons?
3) Is there any possibility of me being forced to skip cutscenes if someone I'm playing with wants to skip them?
4) I'm not forced to communicate with the Duty Finder right? Game just does its job finding people for me, everyone knows their roles, and that's it?
That's all. Again, I apologize for the ignorance. Thanks guys!
That's honestly really encouraging.
1. Healers all have a raise spell that brings you back to life with a temporary stat penalty. Otherwise you can just respawn and run back to the group, if it's a boss fight though, the "door" will lock so let the healer res you. Depending on how far into the dungeon you are, you'll respawn further in or there will be a shortcut portal you can take.
In general though most dungeons and regular bosses are pretty forgiving.
2. Depends really, some of the lower level ones are kinda slow to obnoxiously long *cough* stone vigil *cough* , some of them you can run in like 15 mins though where the tank just pulls all the trash and you a it down.
3. Unfortunately, yes(well as hikarutilmitt says, you aren't forced to skip them, but you won't actually get to do anything else in the dungeon). The finale dungeons for the ARR story are two 8 man dungeons with tons of long story cut scenes that absolutely nobody is going to wait on you for unless you specifically form a group to do it. You can always watch the cutscenes later though in an inn room. They stopped doing that though in Heavensward, all the story cutscenes are after the last boss of the dungeons.
4. Beyond just a hi or maybe a newbie asking what to do for a boss, there's usually very little chatter. Everyone has their role and for the most part has probably run the dungeon a bunch of times already. If anything, people will love you for being new lol, you get a bonus at the end of the run if it's someone's first time which helps speed up the tome grind quite a bit.
